CoocH TOWN FARMERS MEET

The Farmers Club at Gooch Town
which is composed of members liv-
ing in Pulaski and Lincoln counties
held their regular monthly meeting
last Friday night with good attend
ance. Gooch Town Club was organ
lied a short time ago but from the
way the officers conducted the BUSH
ness of the club and from the way
the members took hold of business
matters one would think that this
was club of long standing expert
ence.
The ways and means of growing a
big crop of navy beans was discuss
ed and date set to meet again for
the purpose of making up an order
for navy bean seed. The cooperative
buying of fertilizer for buckwheat
was discussed The club bought two
cars of fertilizers for spring crops
which was a saving of over sixty dol
lars for the club members.
County Agent w. c. Wilson, of
Pulaski county, attended the meeting
and gave an illustrated lecture on
alfalfa. Plans for buying pure bred
bull for the community and for get
ting seeds for the club members were
put before the club and discussed.
Every member of the Gooch Town
Farmers Club is planning to put out
a patch of navy beans. If all the
clubs in Pulaski county would follow
the example set by the Gooch Town
Club, old Pulaski would certainly do
her part in helping feed the world.

Have you bought your season tick
cts for the Chautauqua, which will

to do so when the ladies come to see
you. There will be five days of it and
two sessions day-ten entertain
ments of high order and the price
for them is only SO, when you have a
season ticket. 1t will cost much more
than that if you pay each time you
go. Things have assumed a Chautau-
qua appearance in Stanford, the ban
ners flying and advertisements al
most everywhere telling of the good
things in store for those who attend
it's sessions. Remember you help the
Woman's Club, which is doing so
much for the betterment of Stanford,
when You buy season tickets. They
are bringing the attraction here and
if it is a success in point of attend
ance they will make money to again
furnish their rooms, but if it is not
well patronized they are the losers.
Help them and at the same time get
full dollars worth for the money
you spend for season tickets.

MRS. n. c. RIPLEY. DEAD

Another sanity mother went the
way of all good when the end came
suddenly to Mrs. HI. G. Ripley, at
2:30 this morning. She has been in
feeble health for long time, but it
was not thought that she was in a
dangerous condition and her death
was a severe shock to family and
friends. Late in the night Mr.. Ripley
was awakened by her groans and get
ting up, found her very i'll. All that
could be done for her failed to ale
viate her sufferings and the end came
in very short while. For years Mrs.
Ripley had trouble with her heart
and for the past eight or ten months
she has slept good portion of her
time in her chair. II was not unusual
for her husband to find her sitting
up, even in the late hours of the
night and he was not alarmed when
he saw her up last night. She had less
trouble with her heart when sitting
than in reclining posture. She was
6S years old and was born in Marion
county. However, when she was mar
ried to the man who is now bowed
down with grief she resided in Mis-
souri,. Her maiden name was Lavinia
Crowdus. Besides the husband, she
is survived by the following children
Mrs. r. R. Hourigan, of Marion
county, Miss Minnie Ripley, now at
Fargo, Mimi, Miss Stella Ripley, now
teaching at Cave Springs, Ga. and
Messrs. H. Clay Ripley, of st. Louis,
and R. Lee Ripley, of this city. De-
ceased had been a member of the
Methodist church for many years and
as long as her health would permit,
was an active worker in the Masters
vineyard. She was an exceedingly
amiable, lovable woman and made
friends and held them. Her death is
distinct loss to Stanford and the
entire community, but it falls heavi-
est on the husband, who now walks
the pathway lonely and alone, and
the children, whose love and devotion
for mother was very beautiful. May
the sod lie gently on the grave of the
splendid wife and Cody mother.
The burial will occur in Harrods-
burg Cemetery Thursday, but the ex-
act hour will not be decided until
later, as it will take some time for
some of the children to get here.

MRS. HUMBLE DIES SUDDENLY

Mrs. Rachel Humble, aged 70,
died very suddenly at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. J. r. Powell, at a
little after 6 o'clock last night. Early
in January she suffered an attack of
grip and had never gotten entirely
over it, but was able to eat supper,
as usual, last night Shortly after
ward, however, she complained of
not feeling well and laid down, her
death following in a few moments.
Mrs. Humble was the widow of
Thomas w. Humble, who preceded
her to the grave a score of years,
and she had spent most of the time
since with her daughter, in whose
home she was always more than well
come. Besides Mrs. Powell she leaves
three sons, Mr.. T. w. Humble. of
this city, Mr.. Morris Humble, of Lon
don, and Mrs. Ian Humble, of Ohio.
Early in life she gave her heart to
God and united with the Presbyterian
church and had been valiant fol-
lower of the meek lowley Nazarcne
since. She was an excellent woman
and during her sojourn of dozen or
more years in Stanford she had made
many friends who are grieved at her
death. The burial will occur at her
old home at about noon Wednesday,
after funeral services at the Presby-
terrain church there by the pastor.
The procession will leave Stanford
about 8 o'clock in the morning and
the funeral service will begin at II
o'clock. Unbounded sympathy is felt
for the daughter and sons in their ir-
reparable loss of mother, mans best
friend, and that they will soon be
made to realize that their loss is her
eternal gain, is the wish and prayer
of kindred and friends.
