TauIbee Answers Abbott.

A few weeks ago W. r. Abb
bott, editor of the Morehead
Mountaineer, took a long range
shot at G. C. Taulbee, of this
town, who is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Rep
resentative from the 91st Legis-
lative district. Mr.. Abbott took
exception to a certain part of Mr..
Taulbee's platform - that part
which relates to the repeal, OF
modification, of the dog-taX law.
In last weeks issue Mr.. Taulbee
answered the Mountaineer editor
in his own paper, and that an
swer is good reading. If the
readers of the Courier can get a
copy Of the paper containing it
they ought to read it. We would
reproduce it in full but lack oil
space forbids. Mr.. Abbott ig-
nores all the things in Mr.. Taul-
Bees platform which are unde-
niably good and casts the whole
in the scrap heap because he dis
agrees with him on the dog-tax
question. 1t is our opinion that
if George Taulbee had been a
Republican, living in a Republi-
can district, and seeking the NOM
ination for Representative, Mr..
Abbott would not have been SO
severe in his criticism. Itis use
less to speak of the Mountaineer's
attitude in the matter if Mr..
Taulbee were the nominee of the
Republican party, running upon
the same platform.
However, Taulbee's reply in
the Mountaineer is sufficient and
convinces the reader of his sin
cerity. Just how much space a
newspaper published outside of
the 9lst Legislative district is
willing to devote to knocking a
candidate from that district the
future will tell.

Three American Ships Sunk

A state Of war exists between Ger
many and the United States. No formal
declaration of war has been issued, but
Germany is committing acts Of war upon
American shipping and the United States
will hunt and destroy the Submarines and

lists. Three American ships were sunk
last week without warning and more than
twenty lives lost. Congress will meet i'm

will doubtless follow.

Allies are gaining brilliant victories over

Good Citizen passes Away.

Lee Ferguson died at his home
on Little Caney Creek near
Greear, the Is inst, after brief
illness of measles. His condition
was not thought to be serious at
first and he had gotten able to be
out and suffered a relapse from
which he was never able to rally.
He was AZ years old the Is day
of July 1916.
No man in the county was bet
ber known to the people of West
Liberty than Lee Ferguson. Fer
the past eight or ten years he had
been huckstering in this town
and his semi-weekly visits were
almost as regular as the days of
the week, His name was a
synonym for honesty and fair
dealing. He would go mile
out of his way to pay a creditor
a nickel. He was of extremely
quiet and retiring disposition
When he had transacted his owl
business "finis" was written OF
the next line.
On the whole, Lee Ferguson
was one of the very best citizen
of Morgan county. He will b
missed, not only by his famil
and relatives, but by all wit
whom he came in contact.

quarters of a pound in weight

Care Of Sitting Hen and Eggs.

1t is less trouble to care for
sitting hens when they are con-
fined in separate pen away

this pen should be of earth, dug

and a brick to keep it in place
when it is necessary to confne

Fill the bottom of the box level

The surface of the earth should

A Good Term of Court.

Several days before the date
Tor the beginning of the March
term of Circuit Court there was
an effort made by a number Of
well-meaning citizens of this
town, and by some who do not
live here, to get Judge Gardner
to postpone the session until some
date later in the spring. The
Courier was asked to joip in this
movement but refused to do so,
believing that it was unwise and
lneXpedient. The argument put
forth was that an epidemic of
measles and smallpox existed
mere, which was to a certain eX-
tent true, but not to the extent
that the people who had business
in Court were Endangered by
coming here. Measles was pre-
vaIent in nearly every part of the
county and there was more small
pox in other sections thanin West
Liberty. ''.;s..--'''s ss'es'
The Court was held and a con
densed statement of the business
transacted will best answer the
question as to whether Court
should have been postponed until
either of the busy months April
or May.
The term only lasted eight days
but in that brief time the follow
ing business was transacted:
The Grand Jury returned 69
indictments, as follows:
murder 3, housebreaking l, false
swearing 2, injuring public pro-
perty l, selling spurious liquors
26, giving to a minor 2, disturb.
ing a congregation 2, breach OF
the peace 7, gaming 6, carrying
concealed deadly weapon 8, as,
sault and battery l, deserting {
child l, having liquor in posses
sion for purpose of sale 3, adultry
8, furnishing liquor on election
day l, neglect of official duty l
There were so commonwealth
cases disposed of and more thar
81, 10000 in fines assessed, o
which amount approximately 81,
10000 was paid and the remand
err replevied.
That was not a single defend
ant sent to Jail for the non-pay
ment of a fine.
On the civil docket there wer
z common law cases and 4
Equity cases disposed of durin
the latter part of the term.
Taken as a whole it was one, o
