|CouN US DEBT
MDUCED $4,000


The members of the Madison
County Fiscal Court and county
Treasurer r. E. Turley, staged
quite an interesting little celebra-
ton Monday morning. The oc-
+casion was the burning of $28, 600
worth of cancelled bonds of the
county. Eight thousand of them
were the last of the old turnpike
bonds and their cancellation now
leaves the county entirely free of
the debt that it incurred some
score of years ago when the toll
gates were removed from the
pixies and the county took over
management of the highway sys-
tenn.
Twenty thousand dollars worth
of bonds desnoyed were the old
Kentucky Central railroad re-
funding bonds. These in the be-
ginning amounted to $3.50 GOO,
and the cancellation of the So
600 worth of bonds Monday
leaves the county still owing only
about $4,000 more of this indebt-
edness.
Madison county now owes no
debt upon her turnpikes, and has
reduced her railroad obligations
to point where they may be con-
sidered practically negligible. The.
county. treasury is in lrst class.
shape, and the officials who have
through careful and efficient man-
agement brought about such a
splendid condition, deserve the
congratulations of the taxpayers.

CHRISTMAS
TREES FOR
YOUNG AND OLD

The Christmas spirit was in the
air on Christmas eve and Thursday
and the weather was ideal. Wednes-
day night the Girl Scouts sang
Christmas carols around town and
at midnight st. Andrews church held
the Eucharistic service at which
rich musical program was rendered.
Grace Methodist Assembly Hall was
crowded Christmas eve and the three
trees made very pretty and festive
scene. The little folks carried out
their parts splendidly. The Christmas
tree services at both the ST. Andrews
and Church of the Messiah were well
attended and greatly enjoyed.
The Christmas tree at the North
church was held Wednesday after
noon where A. f. Lawrence had do
mated big tree for the occasion
Before the tree was lighted p. +.
Hazen, the superintendent, announc-
ed a short and interesting program
which included a song by the little
tots and the play "Dickie's Christmas
Stocking" In the latter Allan Hunter
was Santa Claus and the other parts
were taken by Dorothy Baxter, The
odore Taylor and Anna T. Burke,
Before the merry crowd broke up
three cheers were given Mr.. Law
renee for his annual gift of a biz
tree.
A fine and successful Christmas eX-
ercise was given at the Advent
Christian church Wednesday even
ing by members of the Sunday school
The recitations by individuals and
exercises by classes were all well
rendered The little ones did eX-
ceedingly well. The music and sing
ing deserves special mention, parti-
cularly the assistant choir of girls
and boys as follows: Nathalie Moul-
ton, Lillian Heyer, Gertrude Grady
Theodore Chamberlain, Arthur
Wright, Harold Smith Dean. Much
credit is due to those who had the
exercises in charge for the rehears-
ing and preparation. After the eX-

Mrs. Wilmington also points out
the fact that when the children CO.
operated in salvaging junk they help
to reduce the fire loss in the country.
BY cleaning away rubbish from yards,
alleys, cellars and attics the chances
for fire in or about the home are
much lessened.
Recently during Fire Prevention
Day in Boston, firemen talked to the
school children on the reasons why
they should keep their cellars, attics
ard Railways cleared of rubbish. 1t
was brought out that in Boston many
fires are started because people are

Collecting Canadian
Quarters for Meters

The collectors for the Twin State
Gas and Electric Company and the
st. Johnsbury Gas Company have
been busy this week collecting the
quarters from their prepaid meters
and they want to get all the Canadian
silver before they have to pay the dis
count. After this date any Canadian
quarters found in the meters will be
returned to the original owner for
redemption. One of the collectors for
the gas comptny found half of his
money in Canadian silver Tuesday.
While the total collection Tuesday
of 1888 included $6150 in Canadian
quarters. This gives a pretty good
idea of the general circulation in this
town of Dominion currency. Not
withstanding the general impression
that Canadian quarter does not give
the same service as an American
quarter in the gas meter the superint-
endent says that one is just as good as
the other as far as service is concern
ed
The collectors of the Electric Com
pany do not have as many prepaid
meters as the Gas Company, but
found plenty of Canadian money in
thei rtour of the community Tuesday.
Several instances have already been
reported where our townspeople have
Canadian silver left on their hands
