PLAY WELL ATTENDED

"The County Fair" given under
the auspices of the Health and We'll
fare. League by Miss Annie Sara
Book, of Ashland, given at the Tabb
Opera House Tuesday night was at
tended by a splendid crowd. About
$3.50 above all expenses was made
for the league. Considering the
short time given for rehearsals the
performance was most creditable.
The feature of the evening was the
singing and dancing of Miss Char
lotte Mudgetie, of Petoskey, Mich,
the charming and attractive guest
of Mrs. Nelson H. Trimble. Miss
Mudgette possesses a sweet voice
and is possibly the most graceful
amateur dancer seen here in years.

PLAYING POLITICS

Grave charges were made by I'M
ion labor leaders representing Har-
Ian county coal miners to Gov. STAN
ley that the recent clash between
the miners and county authorities
of Harlan county was not due to
strike troubles, but was the out
growth of politics. The charge is
made that certain of the county
authorities, defeated in the Repub-
lican primaries by the union min
ers' ticket, are using violence to
drive union men out of the county
and to prevent their participation
in the approaching election.

BUY A LIBERTY BOND

ga Liberty Bond is a diploma in

Straus, President Of the American
Society for Thrift, in a statement to
the members of that organization.
"a subscription to this issue is the
best way to begin a thrifty life"
Secretary McAdoo is asking for
subscriptions from 100000 Am

Washington. March 5.-The Red
colors in the scheme of decorations
for President Wilson's inaugural. The
green and white. and the mixture or ,
gay colors OF other years were en- ,
tirely submerged in the display OF ,
national colors.
From every stand they fiuttered. :
from every public building. The folds /
of the flag rippled from the crowded
along the line of march as If in an
swer to the salute of the same colors
borne by the marchers. The Tag
swung or dropped from balcony, win
dow. and housetop. It fluttered in
the hands of cheering spectators. 1t
hung suspended in stately dignity at
thousands of homes On the lire OF
march and off the line of march, ev-
erywhere. the city displayed the flag.
The Court of Honor at the White
House where the President reviewed
the marching army of celebration was
smothered in the tri-oolor 1t was the
decoration. the only one, in President
wilson's second inaugural
In choosing the flag as the only
decoration the committee is under
stood to have had in mind the inter
national situation as well as the
Presidents wish for dignity and sim
plicity in any color schemt which
might have been considered.
, As in previous years the Court OF
Honor extended two blocks On Penn
sylvania Avenue. from Fifteenth
, Street tn Seventooth. directly in front
of the White House and between the
: Treasury and the State. War and
/. Navy Buildings The Presidents
stand. seating about $500 persons
/. was on the south side OF the avenue
: while opposite. the length OF LaFay-
cite Square. was a reviewing stand
for others
The Court itself was a colonnade
, outside the curb on each side of the
{ avenue for the length of the two
blocks. At intervals of sixty feet the
columns we're relieved by pylons, dec

with festoons OF evergreens. At each
end of the court the pylons were
elaborated and topped by tripods.
Arches of imposing proportions
gave passageways for vehicles and
formed a termination for reviewing
stands. The center of each stand
was marked by pediment.
President Wilson's stand. marked

much more elaborate than any other.
Each great white column of the
colonnade was surmounted by an
entablature. above which projected
staff with the flag flying. In the CEN
ter of the columns were small cedar
trees and connecting the columns
and pylons were double festoons of
eergreens and single loops of electric
lights.
AS in the last Inauguration the
Court of Honor was designed to pre-
serve the severe lines of the portico
of Monticello, home of Thomas JEFF
erson. Within the Presidents stand
was built the glass enclosure for the
i President, officials and guests. At
points along Pennsylvania Avenue the

tened by courts of state. consist
