New Macadarn Road

At an adjourned meeting last
week the Fiscal Court directed
that two miles of macadam be
put on the road leading from the
city limits of Barbourville to the
forks of the road at Baird Hill,
on what is known as the Indian
Creek road. This is a splendid
move and if carried out immedi-
ately will do more to relieve the
road situation than any one thing
possible to be done before winter
sets in, for the benefit of the
travelling public. The only posi-
BILE way to travel between Bar
hourville and Corbin-going or
eoming-is to go over the road
by the way of Smokey Creek. and
this will be true for some time to
come, but this only way will soon
be impossible during the winter
and early spring unless the pike
is built these two miles. 1t is up
to the Fiscal Court and State

Franklin. President of Union
College presided, the invocation
by the Rev. Creal of the Baptist
Church; splendid music was
furnised by the bands of Clay and
Knox counties. The first speaker
on the programme was Senator B.
@. Lewis, who delivered an able,
convincing and rousing patriotic
speech, urging the people to stand
behind the Government in this
time of adversely. and appealed
to them to subscribe literally to
the second Liberty Loan.
He was followed by the Hon.
J. M. Robson, who made one of
ablest pleas for the soldier boys
and this country that we have
ever heard, the great crowd
roundly applsuded his remarks.
many of the people shed tears, he
stated that he abhorred the idea
of war. but since war had been
declared by our country. there
were two sides to the question,
only the United States, and the
Kaiser, and he thought that every
true American should stand
solidly behind this country. and
behind the American boys who
had been called into the army,
and that it was our duty, if our
mothers and fathers could give
up their sons to see to it that
ample funds be raised to clothe,
feed and protect our boys and to
pay them well for their services,
and aid them in every possible
way. and he appealed to the peo-
pie of Knox County to contribute
of their means for these purposes,
and at the conclusion of his
speech he called for subscriptions
for Liberty bonds. and in less
than ten minutes, about $65, 900.

and would prolong the war and
cause more of our boys to be kill
ed. His bitter denunciation of
such members of Congress and
his statement that they ought to
be drummed out of the United
States evoked great applause.
His appeal to stand behind the
flag was a master effort from the
enthusiasm and demonstrations
of the crowd. it was clear that
Knox county is patriotic. East
ern Kentucky has always been
patriotic. When Lincoln was try
ing to save the Union. it was
Eastern Kentucky that furnished
the larger part of the soldiers
for the Union Army from this
state. At the conclusion of Mr..
Smiths speech, additional sub

was raised amid great enthusi-

An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stomach
will rebel. When a man reaches the
advanced age of So or 80, you will
find that he is a light eater. Be as
careful as you will, however, you will
occasionally eat more than you should
and will feel the need of Chamber
