FOR A BEAUTIFUL LAWN CUT
GRASS AT THE RIGHT TIME

The lawn grass should be cut early
and often. All through April, May
and June the grass can be cut with
profit each week 1t should be cut
with a lawn mower and let lie where
It falls. Do not rake the lawn. Do
not lot the grass get SO long before
cutting that 1t must be raked. With
the frequent showers Of May and June,
the grass will grow rapidly after each
cutting, and the clippings will be
quickly hidden. During these months
of rapid growth, the clippings make a
mulch over the grass roots, protecting
them from the heat and routh OF AN
gust and September
Cut the lawn every week or ten days
in May and June, and until the intense
heat OF midsummer. Then put the
lawn mower away until the cool Octo'
Der days. Let the grass grow long IL
the hot summer time. In late Septem'
Der cut 1t with scythe, rake off. being
careful not to rake down into the
mulch. and use the lawn mower as
needed in October and November

Good farmers, higb-profit men, today
are thinking in the luturc-beyond the

call for just as careful surN ey OF the

of the future as the high-Drice farmer
makes. Proper planning really means
more to you than to him, for you stake
your whole future on one thing-your
success in efficiently handling what
you already have.
In the first place, what about your
actual advancement during the past

in profits? Have you improved and
Increased your farm business?

LET NE WALK WITH THE
MEN IN The ROAD

IT'S only a half truth the poet has sung
OF the house by the side OF the
way"
Our Master had neither house nor
hor'e,
But he walked with the crowd day
by day.
And think, when read of the poets
desire,
That a house by the road would be
good;
But service is found in its tenderest
When we walk with the crowd In the
road.
So say, let me walk with the meT In
the road,
Let me seek cut the burdens that
crush,
Let me speak kind word of good
cheer to the weak
Who are falling behind in the rush.
There are wounds to be healed, there
are breaks VIC must mend,
There's cup of cold water to give;
And the man in the road by the stde
of his friend
Is the man who has learned to live.
Then tell me no more of the house by
the road;
There is only one place can live.
It's there with the men who are toiling
along,
Who are needing the cheer l can
give.
1t is pleasant to live in the house by
the way
And be a friend, as the poet has
said;
But the Master is bidding US, Bear ye
their load,
For your rest waiteth yonder ahead"
could not remain in the house by the
road
And watch as the toilers go on, 80
Their faces beclouded with pain and
with SIM
So burdened, their strength nearly
gone.
III go to their side, III speak in good
cheer,
Ill help them to carry their load;
And I'll smile at the man In the house
by the way
ASH walk with the crowd in the road.
Out there in the road that goes by the
house,
Where the poet is singing his song,
III walk and III work midst the heat
of the day,
And I'll help falling brothers along
Too busy to live in the house by the
way,
Too happy for such an abode.
. And my heart sings it's praise to the
Master of all.
Who is helping me serve in the road.

hours and his death had been expected.
He had undergone great pain throughout
the last two days, but with the ap-
proach of death he subsided into state
or quiet coma which lasted to the end.
As the president of the General Board
OF the Navy. ranking officer of the naval
organization, lay dying in his room. OFF,
naai Washington beseiged the house for
word of his condition. President Wilson
sent frequently to inquire as to how the
naval hero was doing, Secretary of War
Baker and Secretary of the Navy Daniels
called. and Mrs. Daniels spent some time
with Mrs. Dewey. The visitors were re-
ceived by Admiral Dewey's aide, Lieut.
LeBretton. who remained on duty with
his chief to the end.
After the announcement of Admiral
Dewey's death a flood of public state
ments Of appreciation from official WASH
ington was Forthcoming, Headed by the
President. the heads Of government ex-
pressed their grief at the passing of one
OF the famous figures of American his
tory.
A flood of messages of coincidence from
washington friends and from admirers of
the dead hero from all parts OF the
country began to reach the Dewey house.
The truly national regard for the man
who swept the Pacific and carried the
American flag to the Far East was ap-
parent in the grief-stricken messages from
high and low throughout the land.
Up to the last week of his life Admiral
Dewey had been one Of the commanding
figures In Washington. Active. alert and
physically robust, he had devoted him
self with fervor and with every ounce
Of his energy to his duties as president
of the Navy General Board. He had
worked for years for increased naval
preparedness for war, and with the Cen
eral Board had worked out a great pro-
gram Of naval extension. It was with
profound satisfaction that he saw the
nation embarked on q great program
Of naval defense, and he worked with
all his poyer to aid in the Inauguration
of the new naval plans.
Despite the 7s years which marked his
birthday the day after Christmas Day,
the admiral was hale and hearty. As
all official Washington congratulated him
on his apparently splendid physical con-
dition and his great capacity for work, at
an informal reception at his Offices, he
told Secretary Daniels:

MERCURY DROPS
BELOW ZERO
Unexpected Change in Weather
Causes Much Suffering, Espec-
tally Among the Poor.

The beautiful weather Of the first
half of last week made everybody
feel fine and contractors and build
ers Immediately prepared to go to
work, thinking that possibly they
were to be given a few weeks of
nice weather but the weather man
is changeable fellow and hardly
had these preparations been com
pleted, when the wind came, the
rains descended and everybody be-
gan to get ready for another siege
of cold weather. Possibly the worst
weather of the winter was had here
Sunday afternoon when this city
and county was visited by biz
zard, made up of small snow and
sleet, accompanied by a 60 mile-an-
hour wind. Thermometers regis
tered degrees below zero at
o'clock Sunday afternoon and Mon
day morning reports from to IL
below were received at this office.
Reports from stock men are to
the effect that stock of all kinds
are in bad shape. The city and
county authorities have been be-
sieged by the poor for aid and
much help was given.
The gas pressure has been be-
low normal and many people have
torn out gas CRATES and stoves
and installed coal CRATES and
stoves. The weather in Kentucky
this winter has certainly been as
changeable as the mind of six

GOOD AVERAGES
ARE OBTAINED
More Than Six and 0ne-Half Mil
lion Pounds Have Been Sold
on Market.

A recapitulation of the tobacco
sold on the loose leaf markets of
this city made Saturday, shows
that there has been sold 6,62S,S40
pounds for $1,142.565.11, or an av-
erage of $17.23 per hundred. Con-
sidering the quality, etc., this is
considered remarkable average.
The Farmers house is leading the
market in the amount sold. This
house has sold 2,S94,245 pounds
for 1902, 393.91, an average of
$17.36 per hundred. The White
hall has sold 2,377,5OO pounds for
$4O3, 2S6.19, an average of $1,000
per hundred. The Robertson house
has sold 1,357,O95 pounds for
1896, SS6.64, an average of $17.45.
Owing to the car shortage the
sales were blocked for a few days
last week but arrangements have
been made to store the tobacco sold
so that the sales will go on now
without interruption until the sea-
son closes. We have been urging
our readers ever since the local
market opened to bring their crops
to this city and we again take this
opportunity to urge them to pa
tronize the local market.
Owing to the extreme cold wealth
er the sales have been postponed
for a few days, this however will
not interfere with the warehouses
accepting any tobacco brought to
them.

STANLEY CALLS
SPECIAL SESSION
Governor Calls Legislators to Meet
at Frankfort to Consider New
Tax Bill.

In spite of the fact that petitions
signed by hundreds of farmers all
over the state protesting against
the calling of an extra session of
the Legislature to consider the pro-
posed tax bill, Governor A. O. Stan
ley has issued call for the Legis-
iature to convene at Frankfort
Wednesday, Feb. 18th for the "sole
purpose of considering the subject
of revenue and taxation"
This is the first special session
held in twelve years. The session
cannot last more than sixty days,
not counting Sundays and legal
holidays. The new bill if passed as
drawn by the Tax Commission will,
we predict, prove to be the most
vicious piece of legislation passed
in this state in many years. 1t is
drawn to give the farmers and real
property owners all the worst of it,
while the big corporations owning
the coal mines, etc, are practically
exempted from taxation. Kentucky
the fifth state in the union in the
production of coal, and we are
advised is the only state not
putting direct tax on the
tonnage mined. This paper was
the first in the state to attack
the proposed revenue and taxation
bill but we are glad to say that now
many of the weekly and semi week
ly papers are lined up on the side
of the people as against the cor
,porations. The daily press of the
large cities seem to be afraid of the
Dig interests. NOW MIR. Farmer, 1t
is up to you, see your Representa-
tive and Senator and urge them to
defeat this bill. 1t will give us very
little satisfaction to say 1--WE told
you so" when your taxes are doubled
(if this bill is not defeated) so il
is up to you to get on the job and
do your part. No one connected
with this paper owns one acre of
farm land. Why not have Mont
gomery county send a delegation to
Frankfort to do what they can to
defeat this bill?

Mr.. j. r. Garrett, better known
as "Uncle Bob" died Saturday
morning from burns received Fri

Garrett was 81 years of age and
was one of the best known men in
this section of the State During
his early life he held many posi-
tons of prominence and ne news
of his death. will be received by q
large circle of friends with deep
sorrow. He was buried at George
town Monday. At the request of
the editor of this paper Judge II.
Clay Mckee, who was pupil of
Mr.. CARROTS, prepared the follow
ing sketch of his life:
Hon. j. R. Garrett was born in
Montgomery county, KY, on a small
farm owned by his father on Head
waters of Lulbegrud, creek, now
owned by Buford Boone, his neph-
ew.
He was the son of Fenley and
Polly Garrett, two of the main
stays of Old Lulbegrud Church and
at each monthly meeting on Satur-
days and Sundays, entertained
from so to 100 of the brethren and
sisters of the congregation.
He was one of eleven children of
which he was next to the youngest,
Elkanah, Mile Ann, Ezekiel Elkin,
Lewis, Rosaline, Sarah, Lucy, Nan
cy, Alkaline, J. r. (Robert) and Me-
lissa, the survivors, being Mrs.
Lucy Guy and Melissa, never mar
ried, who now makes her home with
Buford Boone.
His early life was spent on the
farm, but as soon as he arrived at
the age of 81, took his SADDLE and
honse." which in those days was all
fellow got on leaving his parental
roof, and took up the task of max
ing his own living, beginning as a
school teacher at Old Union School
House, later teaching at Kiddville
and other places. He was what
would be termed a self made man,
and what education he got was from
a three months schooling each year,
and by the use of a tallow candle
at night after his days work was
over.
Only few of his old school
mates now survive him, among them
being George W. Anderson, Sr. and
Richard Stofer, Sr.

lessons at school from "Bob" Gar
