Our building is too small for that
Loving Cup" Give us more room.
The boys are determined to put
old Washington High on the base
ball ground this season.
Our "Pep" is the maximum low

us. We will meet them at Blevins

the use Of the automobiles Of the
town and, country, if we can receive
the proper support from our friends.
Thanks to DR.. Wood for his gift Of

COURT MAY BE POSTPONED
Bar of County Petitions Judge
For Continuance To
july.

The Hampstead County Bar
Association decided Wednesday
that if agreeable to the Circuit
Judge the April term of the
Hampstead Circuit court would
be continued over to the latter
part of July, the date to be an
nounced later
Thisdecision was reached be-
cause of the fact that all farm
ers and all those interested
in agriculture, which is practi-
cally the whole people, are at
this time very busy planting
crops, or urging the planting
of crops of foodstuffs on every
available acre of land The ur-
gent need of more food and
feed for stock is recognized by
every one and the bar feels
that all other business should
give way to this movement.
Sheriff Keel has notified
most of the jurors and witness
es to appear the first Monday
in April, for service, but if it is
decided to postpone the court
until July they will be notified
through the ppaers and in 9TH
er ways not to come at that
time.

Frankfort, KY, December 2-in his
report to Governor Stanley today on

we'll, State Inspector and Examiner,
says that the bonded debt of Ken
lucky totals $2,4S7,O21.11.
The debt consists of old railroad
script past due, 1884, bonds over 30
years past due, $4,000; old issue OF

1916. long past due, $1,000; one bond

The $4,000 bond, the $1,000 bond and

the Auditor from year to year as valid
Sewell thinks they are lost or de-
stroyed, as they have not been heard
from for more than 80 years.
Sewell recommends that the next
Legislature pass an act or resolution
declaring these bonds Cancelled or null
and void in order that they may be
charged off the Auditors books. He
further recommends that the salary o
the secretary of the commission
which is $3.50 a year, be charged
against the appropriation made by thu
last Legislature for additional cleri
cal assistance for the Auditor, instea
of being paid from the sinking fund.
