and that the eye of man was all
closed, went TO the produce store

sheriff Sam L. Lewis had his

Woman Murders Baby

Last Wednesday evening one
Martha Barrett, who had gone
from somewhere on Brush Creek,
to a family in ROekcasla county
where she gave birth to a baby
some ten days before, threw the
baby from window Of a l.. & N.
train just as the train entered a
tunnel a little north of Livings-
ton Ky. and came on through here
to her place of abode on Brush
Creek. The baby was discovered
by a passerby, who gave the al
larm, the Eaby was not dead,
though terribly nangied and
bruised about the head and face,
it was taken from the ditch where
it had laid in the water for some
time. and taken care of; and lived
until Thursday morning. The
sheriff Of Rockcastle county, came
here Friday, and sheriff Lewis
directed his deputy +. c. Partin
to go at once and arrest the
woman. which he did and deliver
ed her to the Rockcasle county
sheriff who took her back to that
county and placed her in Jail to
await the action of the grand
jury.
Miss Barrett is q single woman
about 10 or 20 years old, and is
good looking, she tried to conceal
the predicamnt that she had got
ten into. but the ever watchful
eye of Him that knoweth all thing
was upon her, and there was no
escape from the tolls of the law.
This is a case OF premeditated,
and cold blooded murder. she may
have the sympathy Of all, but the

it here, as well as to the laws

The Flag of my Country

he Il lag VI lily Souitfy'
When you see the stars and

up take off your ha. somebody
may laugh. 1t is popular to de-
ride all expression Of noble senti-
ment. You may blaSgheme in the
streets, and stagger drunk in
public places, and the bystander
will not pay much attention to
you; but if you should get down
on your knees in the street and
pray to almighty God, or if you
should stand hareheaded while a
company of old soldiers marched
by with their flag. some people
would sheer.
Don't you mind. When old
Glory comes along, salute, and

when you hear the band play

it be in 4 restaurant or hotel,

self; stand up and don be asham-

For of all the signs and sym
bols since the world began, there
is never another. save only the
cross sancitifed on Calvery, so
full of meaning as the flag of our
Country. That piece of red,
white and blue bunting means
five thousand years Of struggle
for liberty. the century plant of
human hope in bloom.
1t means the answered prayer

Your flag stands for humanity,

the sons of men, we haven't yet ar.
rived at the goal; there is Unjust
ice still among us, many sensless
and cruel customs of the past still
cling to us, but the only hope of
righting the wrongs of men lies
in the feeling produced in our
bosom by the sight of that flag.
1t stands for no race, it is not
like the English, French or Ger
man flag, 1t stands for all men
who will come and live with us
under its protection, it the only
banner that means mankind,
other flags means a glorious

future, 1t is not so much the flag
of our fathers as it is the flag of

GOOD PRODUCER
: ON INDIAN CREEK.
Well was drilled by White
Bros. All operators
are busy in the
Knox County
Field.

The luck of the White Bros. in |
Kentucky extend TO Knox county. |
Their first venture in this section. |
n well on the Henry T. Brown
farm, on Indian Creek. west of
Barbourville. shows for a first
Class producer. AT depth of ass
feet, eight feet of gas sand was
encountered with an estimated
flow of half a million cubic feet,
and pay streak of oil immedi-
arelv below it. Since this is the
first well in this section, the drill
is being handled very cautiously
and work ceasd last night six feet
in the pay with the showing for
a good well. 1t will be drilled
somewhat deeper to day. The
sand is course but hard, and will
stand a good shot. White Bros
interests in Knox county are un-
der the direction OF F. B. Irwin,
form arly of Tulsa, Okla. Mr.. Irwin
has has had a wide experience in
the oil field, and is popular per-
sonally with the oil fraternity, all
of whom are rejoicing with him
over his first we'll in Knox county
field.
Routine work continues in other
sections of the field. Esmeralda
No. 2 on Indian creek is drilling
at $50 feet. The Jones sand was
missed completely and they are
going on to the Epperson. Bene-
dun and Trees lost a bit on the
Sampson test near Barbourville at
q depth of 440 feet. Their second
rig is being set up today on the
Henderson Jarvis farm on Collins
Fork.
On Paynes Creek. Deckers we'll
on the j. Payne farm is being
cased at 800 feet. Kentucky Oil
and Gas Co. No. 2 on Lee Gray
farm is delayed through lack of
delayed driller. Their deep test
on Callebs Creek is now at 1135
feet.
Central Oil & Gas No. l. on
Lacy Miller farm, at Baileys
Switch is drilling at 100 feet,
and the Ohio Oil Co. is about the
same depth on ST Jones farm at
Girdler.
The Empire Gas and Fuel Co.,
of New York, with headquarters
in the Colonial building, at Win
chester, has had a corps of geo.
logists examining Knox and Clay
Counties, and have bought sever
al large block of acreage. Their
first well will go on Sinking
Creek, and they expect to move
on the location in a very short
time.
Mr.. S. Thompson, of the Ohio
Oil Co. has left for Tennessee to
arrange for moving a rig to the
south of the Williamson farm,
west OF Rugby road. near Glen
Mary, being on the same farm
as last weeks big gas well.

Big Demonstration
and Flag Raising

the public school grounds, at l.30
O'Clock, the parade started from
the Public square, headed by a.
II piece brass band; followed by
the Boy scouts and the old soldiers
then came the school children
then the citizens as a whole. The
exercises were well attended by
an enthusiastic crowd. the pro-
gram was well arranged, DR.. w.
C. Black, chairman of the board
of trustees, ofiiciated IA chair
man of tee meeting and did it in
great style. Invocation by Rev.
Creal. pastor of the Baptist
church; The opening address was
delivered by Lieut.. Gov. James
d. Black. who delivered one of
his very best addresses; after
which the school boys and girls
sang MY Country It's of thee"
Judge Tye was then introduced
and he also delivered an address
whichwas both able and eloquent,
then came Judge j. M. Robson,
who made one the best speeches
we have ever heard him deliver,
it was full of force, eloquence
and patriotism. Then came the
Flag Raising. and as the flag was
being raised the hand played
THE Star Spangled Banner.
then Rev. Creal pronounced the
benediction.
The thing that attracted the
most attention was the evidence
of how fast the vast army of
Lincoln is passing away; the time
was not long ago, that on an oc-
casion of this kind it was not an
uncommon thing to see as many
as three or four hundred of the
brave fellows who helped to keep
this country on the map of the
world, and the great sovereign
states a Union and the Flag of
the Nation flying unsulid to the
breeze that is so pure, that as
soon as the human breathes it,
he becomes a freeman upon the
fertile soil of the greatest of all
Nations. 1t would be impossible
for us to begin to pay tribute to
all those who have contributed
to this worthy demonstration;
but we cannot pass up the schools
of the city that started this march
it was begn by Union Collge band
and its pupils, it then began to
spread, until every, woman and
child had shown the right spirit
within ten days. Prof. II. M.
Oldfield the principal of the high
school has worked faithfully, as
as well as his corpse of Compel
ent teachers, who have labored
faithfully to bring the children
of the city up to that high stand
ard. of liberty loving and God
fearing people. DR.. Black and
every man of the Board should
be complimented for their good
and efficient work.
Evrything that was done and
said was inspiring and helpful,
and it looked for awhile that this
audience could lick Germany a.
lone. This is not the first meet
ing of kind here and we hope
that it will not be the last. This
kind of meetings are what. we
should have had many years ago
the fires of patriotism should al.
ways be kept burning brightly
no matter if there is not a cloud
of war to be seen in the whole
sky, for any nation should be
prepared, to meet the enemy at

The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1917-10-09

At times the Banner has an apti-
tude for the untimely that amounts to
absolute genius. After the experience
of Europe, after the long, bitter fight
to secure CONSUMPTION, after the ex-
elements of the draft, after the stir
and emotion of sending off the first
contingents, the plan of CONSUMPTION
enters perhaps on its crucial and most
important phase-that OF actually
building an army from a huge mass
of raw material
At this particularly critical period,
therefore when the drafted men are
beginning to feel the first pangs of
inconsistencies and the folks at home
are feeling the reaction of parting and
separation, the Banner takes this es-
pecially inappropriate time to read the
death warrant of conscription.-Rut

In pursuing its self imposed task
as censor of the morals, habits and
labors OF its neighbors. the Herald
must not be too severe. OF course
we should not dare to positively dis
agree with the Atlas of Vermont news.

gest that some of the old time black
smiths at the newspaper anvil, such
as Horace Greeley, Charles A. Dana.
Joseph Pulitzer and others, held that
the time to discuss an Issue is when
ii is live issue and fresh in the
minds of the public. 1t is true that
these old chaps did not have the bene-
fit of the mighty intellect that guides
the Rutland Herald and because of this
misfortune, they probably went as
tray. AS they wander around the Ely
sian fields and read the bulletins from
Earth. it must annoy them considera-
bly, to find out from the Herald what
careless blunderers they were. All we
can do. under the circumstances, is
to apologize to the Herald for saying
that oonscription is unpopular with
those conscripted. Now that the Her
old has told us that we should not dis
cuss question until it is as dead as
julius Caesar and as forgotten as the
filling of Cleopatra's teeth, we can
see our mistake 1t used to be human
to err, but now that the Herald has
kindly taken over the job of telling the
brethren exactly what they may say
and do on any and all occasions, to
err is simply inexcusable and the sign
of a non-appreciatiye understanding,
