SANDEFUR-RALPH.

Mr.. Pearl Sandefur. of Nocreek
and Miss Leathel Ralph, of near
town, went to Greensboro, Monday
and surprised all their friends and the
most of their relatives by getting mar
ried. The groom is a son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John w. Sandefur, Of Nocreek,
a graduate of the local High School
and very popular with all who knew
him best. For number of years he
was an employe of this office. The
bride is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
James T. Ralph who reside about two
miles from town on the Livermore
road. She attended High School
here and is likewise popular with her
acquaintances, which are many.
II is our sincerest wish that the
sea of welded life upon which this
happy young couple have embarked
be not darkened by single cloud, or
ruffled by pillows of any sort, and
that the end of the journey be as
pleasant as the beginning.

During the debate on the luxury
schedule, Senator Johnson of Cali
fornia, took occasion to recall to the
Senators the fact that in August of
last year, while the revenue bill of
1917 was pending, a group OF sew
enteen senators, nine Republicans
and eight Democrats, made vigor-
Gus fight for a tax of so per cent on
all war profits. He said that those
who had supported this amendment
had been denounced as prO-Germans
and had been characterized as enc
mics of the business interests of the
country, and yet, at the suggestion of
the President and of Secretary Nc
Adoo the present bill was made to
contain a provision for an 80 per
cent tax.
How naively the secretary of the
treasury says in June, 1918, that in
Great Britain there is tax of so per
cent on war profits" Senator John
son exclaimed. How feeble were
our voices in August, 1917, when for
three months we were shouting that
fact, not only in the Senate but
wherever and whenever we could OBJ
tain an audience to listen"
Senator Johnson said that $1,000
600, 900 of war profits had been per-
mitted to go into the Golfers of those
who coined profits from the war and
this loss will have to be made up in
the future by taxes on normal bust
ness.

THE PROGRESS OF PEACE.

Nothing definite will be done to-
ward the peace conference until af-
ter January 1. Then the commits
sioners of the separate nations will
hold conferences to determine just
what to propose to the conference of
the Allies. Then the peace commits
sioners OF the separatenppol
sioners of the four principal coun-
tries, France. England, the United
States and Italy, will meet in common
council TO determine just what peace
terms to offer the Central Powers.
The lesser states, Rumania, Serbia
and Montenegro, will be heard later.
The Allies will not sit in council with
the German commissioners, but will
formulate their terms OF peace and
submit them for German adoption.

CIRCUIT COURT SUITS.

Among the suits recently filed in
circuit court we note an appeal from
a decision in the quarterly court by
F. o. Coffman, of Point Pleasant. L..
f. Everly sued Mr.. Coffman on an &C
count for $50 for groceries furnished
Mr.. Coffman's father. The evidence
in quarterly court showed Mr.. Coff-
man had given an order to Mr.. Ever
ly to furnish his father groceries, and
the issue Joined was whether or not
il was a blanket order or a specific
order. The jury decided it was a
blanket order, and rendered judg-
ment against Coffman for the amount
sued for. Coffman alleges the order
was for a specific amount, and that he
is responsible only for that amount,
and it was upon this ground Coffman
appealed to the circuit court.
Also a suit has been filed by T. c.
Dewitt against Mrs. Emma Basham
to decide property rights in crop
grown upon the lands of Mrs. Bash
am, of Fordsville, Dewitt alleges
that S. ID. Matthews rented land
from Mrs. Basham, agreeing to give
one third of the crop for the rental.
He alleges while the crop was still
growing he bought the interest Of
Mr.. Matthews, completed the cultiva-
tion of the crop, and that RMS. Bash
am refuses to allow him to harvest
the crop. Mr. Dewitt sets out that
the crop is worth $500.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

William Delaney, an enterprising
farmer. living on the Livermore
road, a few miles out of Hartford, has
set a good example in road dragging
that should be followed by other
farmers of the county. Mr.. Delan-
ey has dragged a mile of road now
for some time, and notwithstanding
the rainy weather, it is in good con-
dition. Farmers having teams now
have little work for them to do and
could drag a section of the road.
without making a real sacrifice. 1t
Is true the farmer owes the public no
obligation In the matter. but we sug-
gest such action as a demonstration
of the value of the road drag.

ALLIES ARE ALL
IN line ON terms
Wilson Tells Soldiers Allies
Are Agreed on Ba-
sic Points.

American Headquarters In France,
Dec. 25.-There is complete harmony
between the United States and the
Allies upon the basic principals that
will form the foundation of the peace
which will write fms to the greatest
war in history, and, it is hoped, to all
wars.
| Such, in substance, was the mes
sage of Christmas cheer which Wood
row Wilson, commander-in-chief Of
the American army, conveyed to TO-
900 troops gathered about him in a
vast wheat field near Humes, some
twenty miles from here, in his speech
to-day.
The President said that the leading
allied statesmen so far have voiced
the same views upon the peace con-
ditions as himself.
Pays Tribute to France.
In another speech at the City Hall
of Chaumont, the President paid an
eloquent tribute to France and to the
friendship between that Republic and
the United States, "a friendship" as
he put it, (which is not only tentative,
but one based upon communion of
principle" This address Mr. Wilson
concluded with a shout of "Vive la
France!" in which his hearers joined
with thunderous volume and with an
Enthusiasm and sincerity that brought
tears of deepest emotion to hundreds.
The President was the guest of the
Yankee" division which has been in
France longer than any other fighting
unit of the American army. He held
review of thousands of American
veterans-the boys who turned the
tide in the great war. He was visibly
moved and highly pleased with the
appearance of the doughboys.
Weather Ideal.
The Presidents reception at gen.
eral headquarters eclipsed all expcta-
ton. Wilson luck" which had be-
come proverbial, held the weather in
check, and made it behave" despite
the threatening symptoms. Indeed.
while the thousands of American
fighting men marched past the re-
viewing stand the sun broke through,
as If to demonstrate it's pleasure
at the memorable scene. q
The President was plainly moved
and in his address, responding to
BLACK Jack" Pershing's speech of
welcome, he displayed deep emotions.
The general, who has just inspected
the army Of occupation on the Rhine,
had hurried back to headquarters to
"be on the job" Coupled with the
pleasure Of seeing the American vet
Grams of some of the greatest battles
of the war, face to face, the President
had the qualification of being told by
General Pershing that all is well on
the Rhine, where thousands of other
American boys are on the watch.

RTFORD OHIO COUNTY, KY, FRIDAY DECEMBER q, 1918.

No other alternative will be open to
Germany but to accept whatever
terms are offered by the Allies. How
ever 1t is to be expected that the Ger
man commissioners will haggle, hest
tate and attempt to moderate the
terms, but the Allies terms will be
the last word in the peace settlement.
1t is not thought probable the Allies
peace terms will be ready for sub
mission before early in March.

A BATTLE FIELD TROPHY.

Mr.. owen Hunter has on exhibit
tion, at the Bank of Hartford, a Ger
man helmet. picked up on the Metz
battle field by Lieut.. J. w. Marks. 1t
is a heavy metal covering for the
head, and is intended for protection
of the soldiers head from gun shot
and sword attacks. II has fiber
cushion that fits around the head for
the purpose of relieving metallic fric-
ton with the head and also to act as
am elastic protection against the force
of the assaulting instrument. The
helmet was the property of German
private, who, no doubt. met death on
the Metz battle ground.

RAPS DOG LAW.

Esquire John Miles, of Paradise,
thinks the new dog law violates mans
ancient and primeval right to have a
trusty guard stand faithful sentinel
during the long dark hours of the
night.
Paradise, KY, December %, 1918.
Editor republicans months
back the Commissioner of Agriculture
sent me a copy of the new dog law.
had not taken time to read it until
to-day, and to say l was surprised at
it's provisions does not express my
feelings. To farmer a dog is what
sentinel is to an army, especially at
night.
The law, If it could be enforced,
would destroy the very thing it is
intended to protect; namely sheep,
hogs and poultry of all kinds. Chain
every dog in Ohio county every night
for five years and it would be impos-
sible to raise sheep, hogs or poultry.
The various varments that den along
our creeks and river bluffs would be-
come so numerous and bold that it
would be useless to try to raise live
stock at all.
1t is true that dogs sometime kill;
so do men kill each other, with the
country full of jails, penitentiaries
and electric chairs.
One mink or skunk will kill from
one to a dozen chickens in one night.
Rats and oppossums are very fond of
fowls of all kinds. and the foxes
would soon destroy the lambs and
pigs.
Well, just to make this letter short
will say that | can't find words to
express my contempt for set of men
who have gone to Frankfort, clothed
with power to place such an imposi-
ton upon the people, and will send
the dollar to Blankenship for the dog
tag.
