Huge Meat Exports.

Ten products of the meat. pack
ing industry now leave our shores
every month their bulk aggre-
eating over $50, 600 pounds:
They are beef, fresh, picked,
and canned, oleo oil, hams and
shoulders. lards and compounds,
and picked pork. The total
weight Of these products export
ed by US during the first eight
months of the current fiscal year
ended February q, was l,2l7,
600, 900 pound, and that was some
81, 000,00 pounds less than we
exported during the first eight
months of the fiscal year 1916.
But their aggregate valJe for the
eight months of 1917 was $1S9,
2S6, 600, compared with Sl54, $50
600 for the 1916 period. This is

New Passenger Depot

One of the most urgent needs
of this town and community is a
new passenger depot, located at
some convenient point to the
city. The present l.. & N. de-
pot is altogether adequate. It
is old-style, unsightly and I'M
sanitary. 1t was built some
twenty-eight or thirty years ago
when this town was small and
when the business of the railroad
was in its infancy. OF course,
additions have been built to it,
but it is like all other buildings
which have been patched up,
AT the present we have great
many visitors coming into our
city. Most of them are strang-
ers, and the impression they get
at the depot is not what it should
be.
The L. q n. Railroad Company
is one of the great corporations
in this country. Its recent fnan-
cial statement Of its earnings for
1916. evidence an enormous in
crease in business as we'll as in
net profits. Barbourville has
never complained of the depot
which it has, but at a recent
meeting of the citizens of this
town and community, resolutions
were passed calling upon tire
officials of the company to take
action. Copies of these resoiu-
tons have been sent to the Off
Gals and also to the Railroad
Commission. This city is grow

Be Loyal.

Our citizens are as patriotic as
any in the United States. On to-
day, at a mass meeting, held in
the court house in this city, reso-
buttons indorsing the action Of
President Wilson and the Nation
al Congress taken with reference
to the war situation, were unani-
mously adopted.
No one wants war, but If it
must come, let us present a solid
front. Nothing encourages the
enemy more than a divided rank
with quarellin@, complaining and
criticism among our own people.
1t is not a question of war or no
war. because that is already set
tied. Germany has been carry
ing on war against us for many
months, destroying our property
and killing our people. Shall we
stand idly by and suffer this to
continue, or shall we, like true
American citizens, raise our
voices in protest? 1t is the pa
triotic duty Of every citizen to
lend his aid and support to the
government in this hour of trial.
If need be, let US enlist in the SER
vice of our Country and follow
the flag to victory. Since war
has come, let us meet it like men.
Fight like our fathers in Revolu-
tionary days and the siege will
be short.
Every citizen in this town and
county should have a United
States Flag floating from his
front gate or door every day. II
you cannot afford a large flag get
a small one. Let the Star Span
gled Banner waive. 1t is the
emblem Of freedom, an insignia
of our courage and bravery.

that he should be given credit for his
