in memory of Barbara Nell Nc
Kenney youngest daughter of B. j.
dan Maggie McKenney, of Eldorado,
Illinois. Born January 5, 1911;
and died October 80, 1918.
After only a few days illness OF
Influenza and pneumonia the grim
reaper, Death, took the little life
from us. Following the quiet fun
eral services conducted by Rev. l..
w. Tichenor from the residence of
Foster McKenney, grandfather of
the deceased, she was laid to rest
in the cemetery at Centertown, Ky,
On account of the epidemic of Influ-
enza the attendance at the grave was
small. The floral tributes were
beautiful.
L seems hard for such a constant
ray of the sunlight of life to be
snatched so suddenly from us. We
grieve because OF the great loss sus-
tanned in giving up such a bright,
cheerful land innocent life. We
are eonsoled in the fact that this
precious little life has only been
transplanted in a better world where
il will shine with a neversending
brilliancy, pointing the way to those
left behind.
May we who loved her so dearly
here strive to meet her in the great
and eternal world beyond.

BOARD OF HEALTH
ADVISES NO COURT

Owing to the serious epidemic of
influenza that prevails over the coun-
ty, it is considered by the Board of
Health of Ohio County as wholly un-
advisable to have a session of Court
at Hartford, - beginning on Monday
November, 2S, the date OF the regular
term of court, as to do so would
probably be conductive to the spread
of influenza.
1t is therefore advised that this
term of court be cancelled.
This November IL, 1918.
Ohio County Board of Health,
MACK COOK, Chairman.
Pursuant to the above order of the
County Board of Health and recon-
mendation of the Bar, Judge Slack
has directed that the jurors and wit
nesses need not come to court as
there will be no jury trials.

Celebrate Return of

A pandemonium of Joy broke loose
in Hartford Monday night when Of
fetal confirmation of the signing Of
the armistice was received.
in the streets the old and young
gathered, mingling their voices in
the joyful celebration, beating drums
and using every tin pan or other
utensil that could be found to make
a noise. Till late in the night the
clang of bells, the hilarious cries of
the reveling populace and the mast
erful efforts of the noise-producers
with guns and powder, reigned SUI
preme.
A noticeable feature was the fact
that few young folks took part in
the celebration, most of those taking
part having some relative in the SER
vice. Elderly ladies and gentlemen
appeared upon the streets with whs-
ties, drums, etc, and joined heartily
in the hubub Of noise.

clang of the courthouse bell, mingled
with the Ginning of the church bells.

land.
Thrilled with the glorious thought
that Autocracy is at last dethroned
and justice has once more been es-
tablished by the might of our armies
and our allies, the people gave vent
to the feeling of eXultation that
bouyed every patriotic heart. The
thought that the four years of agony
are over and that the boys will soon

provoke an unprecedented celebra-
tion, and the people did not let the

WHO STOLE THE CHICKENS?

Joe Gooch is the biggest liar of

he does odd jobs Of painting and

WHEN FRANCE REBUILDS.

"Have you Americans any concep-
ton of what the requirements OF
France will be, when the allies have
won the war and our country begins
its work of reconstruction?" This
question was asked me few days
ago by a prominent business man of
Paris, who, having been gassed,
can no longer fight, and is visiting
this country. From what he pro-
ceeded to relate it is evident that
comparatively few on this side do
realize what our export trade 10
France is destined to become.
"For many years." he said, "pur
people secured their machinery,
printing presses, tools, electric ma
khinery, and lighting fixtures, etc.,
an from Germany. This was be-
cause German prices were lower
than other countries. But now
Germany could not name a price
Mhich would induce a Frenchman to
buy of her, no matter what his need.
England will be busy supplying her
own wants and those of her export
trade, hence we are looking to your
country. Our textile mills, nearly
all of which were in northeast
France, have long since been de-
stroyed and the machinery carried
into Germany. Our textile manu-
facturers are already making a new
start in southwest France; securing
what little machinery they can.
With the end of the. war this indus
try will be one of the first to re-
sumo, and we shall require, Of ter
tile machinery alone, over 100000
600 francs. | could 60 on down a
list of hundred articles, whose re-
.ouirements, while not so great, will
in the aggregate total vast sum.
Partly because our people regard the
Americans so highly, and are full OF
admiration for the splendid things
they are doing in our country. and
partly that we may know and read
your language, great numbers OF
our people are studying English
not only to be able to read It, but
