Gasoline Price Reduced.

At the present high price of gaso-
line, y to 16 miles TO the gallon is not
enough. There is a recently patented
device, known as the BURKE"
which conducts steam and vapor
from radiator through carburetor into
the engine, and which, it is claimed.
will double the average mileage, and
in many instances is giving 40 miles
TO the gallon, while the steam and va
por prevent carbon, cool the engine
and increase power. This device is
manufactured and sold by Burke Motor
Co, zinc } of Clinton, Oklahoma.
Only Ford models are made at the
present time. The company desires
an agent in each county within 80
days. We believe those who buy gaso
line should lock into this matter at
once.

A CENTENARIAN.
Last Thursday Mrs. Esther Do.
honey, of this Place, Reach.
ed Her One Hundredih
Birthday.
THE OCCASION MADE A HAPPY EVENT,

There was large and happy gath
ering at the home of Mrs. Mamie
Flowers last Thursday. Several hun
dred friends were there To take part
in celebrating her mothers birthday
Mrs. Esther Dohoney-who had reach
ed the age of one hundred years, and
who today is in fine health and in pos
session of her mental faculties-her
memory being as clear as a bell. Her
long and useful life is attributed to
her correct living, and her manner of
living was inStilled into her children,
causing her offspringS to number
among the foremost people Of Adair
county.
The ladies who called in the fore
noon brought or sent well-flled bas-
kets, and about the noon hour the ia
bic was spread in the yard. 1t was
the most bountiful collection of choice
edibles our eyes ever beheld, and
somewhat like the feeding of people
on the day Of Pentecost, when more
than one hundred had partaken, there
was enough left to have fed as many
more. The viands consisted Of every.
thing that was palatable. When the
table was ready, fragrant flowers in
stands were placed along the whole
line, making it beautiful sight. Mrs
Dohoney had chair in the yard and
no one enjoyed the occasion more
than did she, the many present giving
her no worry, but upon the contrary
she was delighted and happy, enjoying
the occasion as much as the younger
people.
In the afternoon large number of
friends dropped in, and beginning
about o'clock the audience was ad-
dressed by DR.. Frank Cheek, of Dan
vile, former Attorney General Jas.
Garrett, Of Louisville, Judge W W.
Jones Judge II. c. Baker, ED Z. T.
Williams, all the speakers paying high
tribute to Mrs. Dohoney and the stock
from which she sprung, pioneers who
blazed their way in this county when
it was a wilderness beset with the
savage Indians. The speeches were
intersperSed with appropriate songs,
Rev. B. T Watson was master of GER
emonies
During the day Mrs. Dohoney re-
ceived many handsome and useful
presents.
Much more could be written about
this wonderful and beautiful charac-
ter, as her life is full of interest. and
to US her memory seems to be the most
remarkable. For instance: A men,
Der OF the family said to US: "Some-
times we discuss incidents in the fam
lily room that occurred forty years
ago, and If it is not being told cor
rectly, as the relator was giving it
additionally, Grandma would say:
That is not right. She would then
take up the story and tell it as. it oc-
CURED.
She has passed through three wars
in which the United States engaged,
and at this time she is taking the
deepest interest in the fourth, the
greatest one the world has ever known,
and We trust that she may be permit
ted TO live to know that the flag of
her country waves over Berlin and the
entire world at peace.
She was converted early in life and
Joined the Presbyterian Church, and
is doubtless the oldest member of that
religious body in Kentucky.
