made no responsive movement. He was
filled with resentment at the sensation

The curtain was up and the play in

that John had taken for the season.
The spell Of it all, against which he

Valuable Subscriber.

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Joe
Vaughn, of Kansas City, we were
enabled last week to give an ac-
count of the death Of Mr.. Mart
Lyle, former citizen Of Powell.
Mr.. Vaughn left this county also a
number of years ago and located in
Missouri, There are a number of
Powell people in Kansas City. Mr..
Vaughn knows them all and when
any news occurs concerning them,
he promptly notifies the Times to
which paper he has been SUBJ
scriber since it began to exist near
~ % years ago. Verify, if all our
subscribers were just as prompt in
reporting important events as Mr..
Vaughn, news paper work would be
pleasure, and the paper could be
made more valuable.

Readjustments of the method Of

benefit; setting apart the automo-

State-aid roads; placing direction

good measures and we do hope TO

Refinery for Campton Junction.

j. G. Fitch, Manager of the X.

Standard Oil Co. has purchased a
sight from his company al The
mouth of Hoods Branch, one-half
mile below Campton Junction, on
which to locate their new oil refin-

Roy Mum, an oil drilling con =
tractor, of Stanton, was shot and
instantly killed last night at Filson
by ODE Faulkner, of Slade, while
on the down train. According to
reports brought to this city by pas
sengers, Faulkner entered the train
at Slade and rode to Bowed. Just
before alighting from the train
Faulkner approached Mum and
shot him twice without any words.
Immediately after the shooting, the
train being stopped at the station,
Faulkner stepped off. Mum died
instantly. His body was brought
on the train to Stanton and taken
to his home over the Powell Coun-
ty Deposit Bank. He is survived
by wife and two children, but has
no other relatives in the county.
Faulkner was formerly employed
by Mum when they are said to
have had trouble. Young Faulk-
ner is son of George Faulkner.
deceased, and is one of Powell
county's draftees.
The tragedy is very lamenta-
Bile affair for the law abiding citi-
zens of the county who deeply de-
plore its occurrence. This killing
will occasion two trials of like
nature for our March term of Cir
cult Court, which is no enviable
mark for the County.

Buy Cattle at Mt. Sterling.

r.. w. Garrett, and son, Carl,
went to Mt. Sterling Monday and
bought on the market there fifty
two yearling steers at an ACREAGE
price per head of $50. They were
a good run of cattle and at the
present price for everything they
are cheap. The same bunch of cat
tie a few years ago would have
not cost more than half so much.

and join. Drive closes Xmas eve;
all reports sent in then. Our sec =
ond box of knitted garments will

City invites all workers and mem
bers to come and help pack the

all feel like each is sending an Xmas
box to the soldiers. We hope to
have good number present and
would like for Branches to notify
us the number they expect to
have present. This is our second
SO pounds of yarn, each costing
$l05.O0, total $4,000, and $1,000
spent for needles. We will have

Cuts Bee Tree.

J. R. Stepp cut bee tree on his
place last week and procured a lard
can full of honey. He also cut an
other bee tree this week, but did
not find so much in it. In view of
the fact that sugar is so inaccessible
to the people, finding a bee tree
with considerable honey is little
fortune, since honey to the most of
us is very agreeable substitute for
sugar syrup.

No Peaches Next Year.

Orchardists tell us that there are
no peaches in this climate follow
ing when the thermometer goes

Since it has been a great deal lower
than 10 several different mornings,
we havs, if this is true, no hope for
a crop of lucious peaches next year.

The Christmas Spirit.

. Tuesday next will be Christmas
day. We hope to see it httingly
observed in devout memory OF the
lowly Jesus from whom it derives
its name. There is no reason why
it should not be. The turmoils of
the earth are natural consequence
because the leaders of the warning
nations, who profess to be Chris
tians, forgot to follow in His steps.
The life of Christ never developed
spirit of warfare, but spirit OF
patience, endurance, forgiveness
and love, love even for His enemies.
If Christmas could be rightly OBJ
served by all the soldiers and Off
GERS on the European battlefield,
the next day the Germans would
evacuate Belgium and all other ter
ritory not rightfully theirs and ask
God for forgiveness. The allies
would gladly make peace. The
wicked cannot long persecute the
follower of the meek and lowly
Jesus.
It is more necessary than ever
that everybody observe this Christ
mas, live as they believe Christ
would have them live. Live this
life on the battlefronts as in the
professed Christian homes. We
believe that If al the allied soldiers
were drilled and taught to perform
their duty in the name of Christ,
instead of the climax of their exhor-
tation in drills in bayonets practice,
as our papers tell us, being "year,
yeah, yeah. Give 'em He'll" peace
in His name would be made much
sooner. A Christlike spirit fully
injected into our soldiers and into
all our dealings with the enemy,
would so impress him that the
heart of the wicked among the Ger
mans would be melted until he
could not have the courage to raise
a gun against the army of the Lord.
We believe to greet wounded or
captured soldier with "may the
Lord bless you in right" would
WELD far better influence than to
greet him with cuss words. We al
so believe that If our soldiers would
manifest determined will in their
departure for France to do all in
His name, instead of using the
many vile cuss words in proclaim
ing vengeance against the Germans,
it would create a far more favor
able impression upon the Germans
at home who would be touched by
the spirit of Christ.

All Roads Looked Alike.

One thing good about the cold

years.

The President, in his recent address to the
Senate, has pointed the path toward what all
mankind has hitherto considered, ever since
strife, discord and disaster came into the world,
as the millennium.
He proposes to establish worldwide, per
manent peace and repeal the right divine Of
kings to govern wrong, to liberate the human
race, that men Of every cline and condition may
travel together the progressive highway toward
the goal Of universal attainment Of what the race
was created to be-
Statesmen have rightly characterized his pro-
position as ranking with the mmortals Of human
utterances such as our Declaration Of Indepen-
dence. And this is true because he has mould
ed the thoughts Of an idealist and a dreamer
into proposition of the highest craftsmanship.
That he has with him in this most commend
able move the almost universal sanction and APP
proval Of his country and will receive the g.ati-
tude of those unfortunates, who realize the atvo-
ciousness and barbarity Of war, admits Of no ar
gument, for who, with the evidence Of wars dis
truction, sacrifices and suferings, but fondly
hopes and fervently prays that time may come
when peace and good will towards men shall
be the universal blessing to all peoples.
