BURIAL OF MAJOR GUHFOYLE

The funeral of Major Guilfoyle, who
died Thursday at his home in Mays
lick Of dropsy, was held Saturday
morning from his late home, the bur-
ial taking place in the Catholic ceme-
terry at Washington. 1t was neces-
sary to have casket made to mea-
sure to accommodate his remains, and
upon its arrival at the house, in order
to get it in, it was necessary to re-
move the entire door frame, so large
was the casket. For some time Mr..
Guilfoyle could not lie down at all,
and specially constructed chair was
his sleeping quarters.

INCOME OF RELIGIOUS
CAUSES EFFECTED BY Ban
No Church Services For Four Sundays
Has Worked Severe Hardship
on Some of Our Religious
Departments.

For the past four Sundays there
have been no services held in the
churches of this community. This ma
turally has effected the income of
these religious organizations. The ex-
penses have been running on about
the same as If the regular meetings
were being held. Both the Sunday
School and the churches will be eff
fected though not in the same meas
ure. Most of the churches OF the
county depend on the income from the
payment of pledges to the churches
support. These pledges will be paid
Some have already looked up the
treasurer of their church and paid
their regular weekly pledge. Others
are laying back each week the amount
they expect to give and will be ready
to pay up in full when the first church
service is held All of the members
should be ready to do this.
But with the Sunday School it is
different. The expenses are met by
weekly voluntary offering of those
who attend. There being no meet
ings the Schools are deprived of these
offerings. The literature for the
schools having been ordered in ad-
vance, comes weekly and must be paid
for. 1t does MOI, seem out of place to
suggest to all that there be an extra
large offering made by each person
who is any way connected with these
places of religious instruction, in or
der that the expenses may be met
promptly.
The thinking man will recognize
the good influence of the church and
Sunday School in his community. Not
only those who attend or contribute
are benefited but even those also who
are Indifferent to their success. In
directly the whole community is help
ed by these institutions. Those who
support them do so because of the
general as well as the personal good
to be derived.

Kaiser Refuses to AbdIcate

Amsterdam, November 9-The kais-
er has refused to abdicate. He refuses
on the ground that such act will pro-
duce complete anarchy and a reign of
Bolshevikism in Germany The en-
peror told Minister of the Interior
Drews that he would not assume the
responsibility for such terrible
state of affairs or hand Germany over
to the Entente"
The ultimatum of the Socialists that
Wilhelm abdicate and the crown
prince renounce the throne was sent
to Prince Maximilian of Baden by
the Managing committee of the Ger
man Socialist party. The committee
also demanded the right of public as
sembly; that military and police must
be ordered to exercise great reserve; ;
the immediate transformation of the
Prussian government in conformity
with the views of the Reichstag;
greater Socialist influence in the
Reichstag. VI

UNION TEACHER TRAINING CLASS
INSTRUCTOR SELECTED

AT recent meeting OF the ministers
of the city, the Union Teacher Train
ing Class was favorably discussed and
various text books examined. One of
the books which will lead to a diploma
upon the completion of the course was
recommended. 1t was placed in the
hands of committee for special ex-
animation. Rev. Bailey of the Baptist
Church was asked to be the teacher
of the class The announcement of
the first meeting of the class will be
made as soon as the ban is lifted
Because of the benefits to be de-
rived from taking this course of study
on Bible facts and methods of teach
ing these facts, a large number
should be enrolled in this class.
1t is expected that there will be
many Teacher Training classes start
ed in the county. In these classes, as
well as in the union class in Mays
vile. there hould be four classes of
peEashs: First All those who are
noWteachers in the Bible School. Sec
ond. Those who ought to be teaching
or should be preparing themselves to
teach. Third. Parents who are in
terested in the proper development of
their children. Fourth All those de-
sire to increase their own knowledge
of Biblical facts and methods.

|KENTUCKY'S
OCTOBER CROP
REPORT GOOD ONE.
Delayed Few Days to Enable Farm
ers to Make Final Report on
Corn and T0bnecO.


The issuance of the November crop
report is delayed few days purpose
ly so that the farmers estimates on
yields can be made us final on corn
and tobacco, neither of which crops
are entirely housed,
The fall has been most seasonable.
The drouth was broken and there has
been sufficient rain fall to start the
fall down grains. Pastures are con-
sequently also in good condition and
the prospects for wheat crop for 1919
are most excellent Thearea of wheat
sown isiincreased and shows at ia
per cent. average which means as in
crease over last years acreage of 12
per cent. Conditioner same is given
at 81 per cent. Wheat seeding is still
in progress in some localities. In
many localities more rye is being
sown, acreage for the State being
given at 95 per cent. and condition of
same at SO per cent. which shows
much better prospect for this crop as
compared with 1917. Barley acreage
is SO per cent and condition is given
at 95 per cent The fall grain crops
are in good condition and the outlook
is most favorable both as to acreage
and condition.
Corn crop is light. The drouth this
year injured the corn crop very ma
terially. Some of the late corn is COM
ing out better than It was expected.
The yield as a State average is 25
bushels per acre which is bushels
per acre less than last years average
This would indicate a yield of some
thing like 97,5O0.000 bushels for the
entire state. Corn husking is still in
progress.
The average estimate on Burley to-
bacco gives yield of S33 pounds per
acre while Dark tobacco has an esti-
mated yield Of S55 pounds per acre
This is lighter in both Instance than
last year but of good quality
4
1t is early to give an estimate on
yield of hemp but the preliminary
estimate gives 9oe poSnds per acre,
A very light crop OF potatoes is re-
ported. The early crop was poor but
the late crop is much better The yield
as a State average is estimated at II
bushels per acre, and sweet potatoes
at 96 bushels per acre.
Pastures have improved and show o
condition of 92 per cent. All classes
of live stock are in good condition and
the number on hand as compared with
an average year shows as follows:
Horses, number on hand 92 per
cent; condition 80 per cent.
Cattle, number on hand 81 per cent. ;
condition "a per cent
Hogs, number on hand 81 per cent.
condition "a per cent
Sheep, number on hand 80 per cent
condition 81 per cent.
Taken as whole the report this
month indicates that the average
yields have been cut down which is
largely attributable to the drouth but
the fall has been favorable for sowing
the grain crops and housing of corn
and tobacco and considering the ex-
treme shortage, of labor, farm work is
only in fairly good shape for the win,
ter.
