"A remarkable occurrence is re-
ported to the press by Mr.. George
Allison, who witnessed the happening
on his farm on the Clintonville pike
near Paris recently. Mr.. Allison states
that one day very recently, when the
ground was covered with snow, a tur-
key hen came to the house with
brood of young ones about two days
old This is said to have been a very
rare occurrence, indeed, as turkeys
sildom lay eggs in the fall. 1t is re-
markable how the hen kept the eggs
from freezing when she left the nest t.
get something to eat.
Myers e McClintock, of this city
have made the following purchases o.
live stock recently: Four head of aged
mules from Maysville parties for S1IJ
each; ten head of work mules from
Bourbon county parties for prices
ranging from $1S5 to 5000 each. They
have made the following sales: Forty
five head of aged mules to South Car
DINA buyers at prices ranging up 10
5000 per head; seven head of aged
mules to Charles Thompson, of Lex
ington, for an average of S214 pei
head; four head of aged mules 10

gpect the excellent roads in Warren
and adjacent counties, and especially
fhe old State pike which was built
BOme twenty-five years ago. The Rail
rDad companies throughout the Stats

mates to the meeting, such to be In
e6ect from the 10th to the 18th. and
FOOD until the 21st, and the Attorney

Fiscal Court has legal right to appro.
priate money to pay the entire eXpen-
BB Of the Court in attending the meet
ing.
The program has been arranged 50
that only practical problems will be
discussed, one-half of the day being
given over entirely to the County
Judges Of the State, and owing to the
fact that the meeting is being held at
a time of the year when no road work
IL being done, there is no reason why
at least two or three thousand people
should not be in attendance.

girls after a Danderine hair cleanse
Just try this-moisten a cloth with g
little Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. This will cleanse the
hair of dust, dirt or excessive oil, and
in just a few moments you have doubl-
ed the beauty of your hair. A delight
full surprise awaits those whose hair
has been neglected or is scraggy, fad

tifying the hair, Danderine dissolves
every particle of dandruff; cleanses,
purifies and invigorates the scalp, for
ever stopping itching and falling hair,
but what will please you most will be
after a few weeks use, when you see
new hair-fine and downy at first-yes
but really new hair growing all over
the scalp. If you care for pretty,
soft hair, and lots of it, surely get q
25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderin2
from any drug store or toilet counter
and just try it. (adv)
