TRAIN COMING
A Special Train Displaying Relics
Captured From the Germans
Will Be Here Sept. 30th.

On Monday, September 3Oth. Mt.
Sterling will be visited by the Gov
eminent War Trophy Special, which
is travelling over the country in the
interest of the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The train will stop here three hours

in their war of frightfulness. The
entire exhibit comprises materials of
war captured at various times and
places from the Germans by the al
lied armies. Two cars are flat cars
loaded with captured cannon and a
captured German tank, probably the
first opportunity the people of this
section will have of seeing one of the
steel clad, death dealing monsters
which are at present playing so large
q part in the war. The other cars
are filled with shells, gas masks, tor
pedoes, liquid fire electors, hand
grenades, German helmets and in
fact every form of war appliance
which can be carried. Accompanying
the train are several noted speakers
and war experts who will take pleas
ure in explaining the various devices.
A band will also accompany the train
and it is hoped that an enormous
crowd will take advantage of this
opportunity to see this elaborate and
educational as well as highly inter
esting display.

YOUNG HOLDS
new LAW valid
Making It Illegal to Bring Liquor
From Wet to Dry Territory
For Personal Use

In the case of the Commonwealth
of Kentucky VS.. Tom Barbour, trieu
last week in the Rowan Circuit
Court, Judge w. A. Young held the
recent Act of the Legislature, max
ing it illegal to bring liquor, even
for ones personal use, from wet to
dry territory, constitutional and
valid. This Act has been the subject
of much discussion throughout the
State. In one case, some years ago,
our Court of Appeals knocked out a
city ordinance, drafted along the
same lines, and went so far as to
say that this was beyond the power
of the Legislature. This, however,
was years ago. Laws change just
as the sentiment and views of men
change. There is no doubt about the
people wanting a dry territory to be
dry, without interference from wet
centers and no technicalities and
finely drawn legal distinctions
should stand in the way of a dry
community being dry. Even the vets
are now in favor of the County Unit,
hence we say, if a county wants to
be dry, the law ought to assist, rath-
err than stand in the way Of the ex-
pressed wish of the people. Doubt
less Judge Young entertains similar
views. At least his decision would
so indicate. The lawyers interested
in the case submitted it on an agreed
state of facts and Immediately took
steps to perfect an appeal to the
Court of Appeals, with view of
getting an early hearing, so that the
many cases appealed by City Attor-
ney Chiles can be settled at'the com
ing term of our Circuit Court.

Mrs. M0llie (. GatewoOd Dies at the
Home of Mr.. John Gate
wood Sunday Morning

Our whole community was grieved
to learn that Mrs. Mollie E. Gate
wood, widow Of the late James Gate
wood had died Sunday morning at
the home of her grandson Mr.. j. M.
Gatewood, on High Street. Mrs.
Gatewood was nearly ninety years
of age but up until the last few
weeks she enjoyed visiting her
friends and despite her advanced age
retained her mental faculties to a
most remarkable degree. A woman
of lovely christian character her
acts Of charity and goodness during
frer long life have been many. AL
ways of bright and cheerful dispo-
sition she radiated sunshine and
happiness wherever she was. Truly
there has never lived in this COM
munity a more generous hearted,
lovely woman than she. Deceased is
survived by three sisters, Miss Re-
becca Martin and Mrs. T. X. Barnes,
of this city and Mrs. Creth Taylor
of Winchester, besides an especially
large number of other relatives in
the city and county.
Her life Of goodness has made an
impression on this community that
will live for years and it should be
the source of consolation to those
that she has left behind to know that
the world is better for her having
lived in it and that she has gone to
a 'rhome not made with hands, eter-
nal in the heavens"
Funeral services were conducted
at the Baptist Church Monday af-
ternoon at two o'clock by Rev. T..
Benton Hill, with burial in Mach
pelah Cemetery. The Advocate ex-
tends sympathy to the grief stricken
family.

HOPE COMES TO
IN GREAT
STYLE FOR RED.
CROSS EXPENSES.
People Pledge $17O a
: Month and Put Up ST.
800 at Auction Sale
SINGLE EGG BRINGS
$45 TO THE FUND
Danny Walsh Produces
Warm Egg, Laid by Pet
Hen, and 1t Went Big

Hope, in Steele county, in a Red
Cross pledge day and auction sale,
subscribed a total of $40 a month
for the work of the Red Cross branch
at Hope, and the sale netted about
81, 800, according to Harry Curran
Wilbur, executive secretary Of the
state Red Cross, who was advised of
the affair today by R. A. Lathrop, Of
Hope.
An told, the Hope Branch of the
Red Cross is guaranteed an income
of about $3.50 for the coming years
work as a result Of the single days
effort.
The most striking feature Of the
auction sale was the sale of a warm
egg, laid by Danny Walsh's pet hen.
The egg was sold and resold, time
and again, and it brought to the
branch a total Of $45.
The sale was under way, and the
auctioneer was busily engaged in
getting real money for various arti-
cles, when Danny 'Sbusts in" The
lad carried the warm egg, and de-
manded that it be put up at auction
at once.
DAMS request carried the day
and the great crowd Of buyers be-
came intensely enthusiastic in the
bidding. The first buyer returned
the egg to be sold again-and buyer
after buyer gave the egg back to the
auctioneer, until, finally, $45 had
been realized from Biddy's single
effort.
Not less remarkable was the fact
that a. rooster was the means Of
bringing $46 into the branch fund.
The pledges made during the day,
at $170 a month, are sufficient to-
produce about 81, ,040 a year for the
Red Cross, while the direct pro-
ceeds from the sale, $1,000, increase
the total available cash to $3.50.
Ransom county will hit the trail
for the Red Cross in a $4,000 cam
paign soon, the workers pledging
themselves to a campaign with that
object in view, at big meeting held
in Lisbon on Friday, and which was
attended by Mr.. Wilbur.
Ransom county Red Cross workers
are among the most active in the
state. and in the month of February,
they shipped a total OF 6,925 articles.
That these articles are not small, Is
indicated by the fact that there were
400 sweaters and 300 pairs Of socks
included.
Up to the present time, Ransom
county has shipped a total Of 1880
articles, and 1t has raised $1,000.
Lisbon. alone, in February produced
3,705 articles.
The $40, 600 campaign will be con-
Quoted in April.
