CREEP SEES DOUBLE.

Rev. Walter Creep reports an en-
perience at Nortonville, recently, that
would be incredible if told by one
whose conduct was not above sus-
picion so far as indulging in Joy water
is concerned. Brother Creep says he
espied a gentleman sitting in the
waiting room at the depot who he
was sure was the editor of this pa
per, and approached him with out
stretched hand. The gentleman ap-
preached failed to respond warmly
the familiar approach, and while still
marking the marked resemblance to
our unworthy self, Creep apologized,
with the explanation that he thought
he was addressing Mr.. Thomas.
That's my name" the gentleman po-
litely replied, whereupon Mr.. Creep
asked if he might inquire his first
name. Certainly SIR" was the reply.
MY full name is ]. II. Thomas, and if
it will in any way crafty your curios-
ity | may add the j. H. stands for
John Henry" Creep did not ac-
knowledge that he collapsed on the
spot, but confessed he was bumfuz-
zled. He later learned that the gen.
tleman who has appropriated our full
name and dares to resemble us with
all our humble LONELINESS, is trav-
cling man who lives at Kevil, Ky.
The John Henry Thomases are get
ting a bit too numerous anyway. This
Kevi namesake is a new one to me,
but l don't care so much about him,
as he is not in the newspaper bust
ness. But there are two others who
are editing Kentucky newspapers,
one at Liberty, in Casey county, and
one at Bardstown. The three of us
in the newspaper game are related to
each other, though there is no ele-
ment of kinship politically between
us and the other two.

BEATS THE BEATER.

1t beats anything we have seen
in beets. 1t is the common garden
variety and weighs nearly fourteen
pounds. Mrs. Thad Barnard, of Route
largest garden beet we have ever
SEEN 1t is blood red turnip beet,
perfectly formed and would make
more than a gallon of fine pickles.
After the public has had a chance at
the beet show now in our window we
are going to send it by parcel post
to the madam and the kids in Louis
vile.

A HUNS HEAD PIECE.

In a window of Fair & Cos store
there is a grim reminder of the hor-
rible tragedy going on across the
Atlantic. 1t is a German officers
helmet, or metal covering for the
head, to protect the wearer against
sword attacks, and as some protec-
ton against shell fragments and bull
let's. 1t is probable that the once
proud wearer of this helmet is where
he needs an asbestos shroud rather
than a sword-proOf helmet. The
trophy was sent home by Clyde Haw-
kins, whose home is near Bells Run,
but who is now capturing German
helmets in France.

London, Oct, 16 6:12 p. m.-The
German reply to President Wilson'S
latest note will probably be sent to-
day according to news received here
through diplomatic channels from

As has been the case always since
the offensive began, the Germans are
vigorously defending their positions
using innumerable machine-gun de-
tachments in endeavors to hold their
ground. Particularly vicious are
the counter thrusts that the Amer

east and west of the Mouse, where
the entire enemy front is threatened
with immediate collapse should Gen.

The latest news to issue from the
crumbling House of the Hohenzol-
lerns presages an early peace. The
note Is now on the way that will op-

der. The German military sword is
broken, the national spirit no long

that of unconditional acceptance Of
the best terms the conquorers will
offer. Peace now is only a question
of days, and October may be the last
month of the war.
London, Oct. 16, p. m.-The

Amsterdam, Oct. Recommending
on President Wilson's reply to the
German peace offer the Berlin Vos-
sische Zcitung asks:
What guarantees does President
Wilson offer that military superiOri-
ty will not be utilized afterward by
his allies in a manner opposed to the
principles of justice and Cancellation?
at appears that we are at stage
when it is still possible to warn the
enemy that in the history of the
world it has often been proven mis-
take to drive a strong nation, which
in order not to venture its all offered
its hand in peace, into summoning all
its slumbering forces to the national
battle"
The Frankfort Zeitung says:
President Wilson's reply cannot
be said to mark an advance on the
path of peace. On the contrary, an
other spirit speaks in the note. The
spirit of Clemenceau and Lloyd
George makes its presence felt and
causes doubt to arise whether the
path can lead to the goal"
London, Oct 16-It is expected
that the German Imperial Chancel-
lor will make decision today on the
matters contained in President VIII
sons latest note, says dispatch from
Copenhagen to the Exchange Tele-
graph Company.
The German newspapers point out,
the message adds, that President
Wilson's note had the effect of a
cold douche on the hopes for peace
engendered by his first note.
Some of the newspapers comment
on the note in the sharpest terms and
with unbridled words, adding that
the Language of President Wilson
now has become excited after the con-
ferences he has had with the Allies"
London, Oct. 16.-President Will

preston" in Berlin. says a Central
