NEGRO GETS APPOINTMENT

j. D. M. Russell, for the past sew
enteen years principal Of the Rich
mond negro high school, has been
appointed by President Wilson as
postmaster of Wilberforce, o. Rus
sell has been a life ling Democrat.
When Senator Pomerene, of Ohio,
was asked for recommendation for
postmaster of Wilberforce, a negro
college town, he was unable to find
a negro there of Democratic persua-
sion who was qualified for the place.
Russell, however, owns a tract of
land in Wherefore. The place pays
$500 a year and is practically a
lifetime job, now that presidential
post-offices go under civil service.
Russell has two brothers who are
educators, one being president of
the Colored State Normal School, at
Frankfort, and the other at the head
of the negro schools at Nicholasville.

FISH BY THE THOUSAND

Deputy Game Warden Samuel j
Embry and assistants have been do
ing some lively fishir g this week. Out
of the pond on Mr.. Forestus Reds
place they took about 800 pounds of
carp, some weighing as much as a
dozen pounds. A seine was used and
the fish were given to those who
would take them. The mud carp is
not considered delicacy and hence
the fish went begging. 1t was Mr..
Reds desire that the carp be taken
from the pond in order that new
lights might have better chance to
multiply, so the State Game and
Fish Commission sent car by STAN
ford and Superintendent Hill, who
was in charge, assisted Mr.. Embry in
the work of getting the, fish. Super
intendent Hill and Mr.. Embry also
seined several ponds in this section
for newlights with which to stock
Dix river and other streams. They
got about 1000, 800 of which were
put in the water works lake and sew
eral hundred in the lake at Crab Or
chard Springs. Some 1900 were TAX
en- to Rockcastle river and Round
stone creek.

NOTED LECTURER COMING

The next good thing in store for
the people of Stanford and vicinity
is lecture by DR.. Carolyn Geiszel
"She is the most knowing woman in
America" She needs no intro,
duction to the people Of Stanford

of the continent in company with Dr.
Ira Landreth and he paid her the
high compliment of being the best
lecturer in their crowd and the peo-
pie of Stanford know what he is
capable of doing. This lecture is free,

at least, feed the mind on wholesome
food free. The place and date will
be announced in next issue.

CHAUTAUoUA A BIG SUCCESS


memory and a very pleasing one it
is. It came to an end last night with
the biggest and most enthusiastic
crowd of the season. The Woman's
Club, under whose auspices the Lin
coin Chautauqua came, made v small
amount of money, but that is of lit
tie consequence as compared with
the genuine pleasure the wholesome
entertainments afforded. A rising
vote of thanks is due the good women
who labored so hard to make the
Chautauqua a financial success. 1t
was work of love with them. for
every dollar gotten from the enter
prise will be expended for the bet
terment of Stanford. It will be good
news to many that the Lincoln Chau-
tauqua will return next year with
the promise of even better pro-
gram. A considerable number Of
season tickets for 1918 have already
been sold and promises are out for
more. Some 80 of Stanford's bust
ness men guaranteed the Woman's
Club against loss, as was done both
this year and last. The closing at
fractions of the big fve-day treat
were the Alpine Yodlers and DR. Ira
Landreth. The Yodlers had the first
place on the program and greatly
pleased the immense throng. There
are eight members of the Club and
they are all full of music and know
how to entertain. DR.. Landreth. who
ran for vice-president on the prohi-
ton ticket last year, for years was
at the head of Ward Belmont Col
lege in Nashville, and is famous
Presbyterian preacher, delivered a
great lecture from the subject: "The
Solid South for National Defense"
He said many good things and no
speaker who has been to Stanford
in years was given closer attention
or received more liberal applause.
The writer enjoyed the letcure to
the fullest and heartily agrees with
the distinguished gentleman on the
whisky question, but whether or not
his prohibition lecture is in keeping
with the usual Chautauqua attrac-
tions, he is not certain. Suffice it to
say that it was a terrific arraign-
ment of the whisky traffic and had it
come from the pulpit or the rostrum,
where politicians hold sway, it might
not have done as much good, but
certainly it would have been less
surprising. The Pageant" on, We'd
nesday night, in which more than a
hundred Stanford children took part,
was very interesting and beautiful.
Mr.. Arthur Rachel, as an interpreter
of drama, was fine, while the Cook
Weller Co., in song, instrumental
music and cartoon work, more than
pleased all who heard them. Brooks
great concert band made the sweet
est music Tuesday afternoon and ev-
ening and Miss Helen B. Paulson's
talk from the subject: ''If We Only
Knew" was greatly enjoyed. In fine,
the Chautauqua was good all the way
through and the only regret about it
is, that it is all over and that we
have got to wait another long year
before we can have another.

Lincoln and Pulaski last year TO-
900 bushels of buckwheat was
grown, or more than was produced

fifty cents per bushel to nearly
$1.50, it will be seen what good judg-
ment the farmers of that particular
section have used.
