PREPARING FOR THE LEXING-
TON RACE MEETING.

The amount of added money for
which the thoroughbreds will race at
the coming meeting of the Kentucky
Association, is greater than at any
time in the history of the course, no
stake of less than $4,000 being given.
General Manager Robert l.. Baker
has completed arrangements for, the
establishment of the buildings and
the grounds, has succeeded after
many trials in satisfying the owners
of racing stables in their stall ac-
commodations, and all shipments to
the track will be given ample stall
room
The change that has been made in
the location of the bandstand has
been met with the approval of the
boxholders and the general public, it
having been moved to the upper end
Of the grand stand near the club
house, and away from the wire,
where it has been during the past
two meetings. Weber's Band will
furnish the music at the spring meet
ing and the stand formerly occupied
by John Weber and his men will be
converted into boxes for the use of
the president of the Jockey Club and
the directors of the new organization
The demand for boxes has been
greater than in any former year, all

A MEANS OF INCREASING SUM-
DAY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

The publishing of the attendance
at the various Sunday schools
throughout the city and county each
week as one means of increasing in
terest in the Sunday school move
ment, especially as looking toward a
banner attendance on Go-to-Sunday-
School Day, the first Sunday in May,
can be made very interesting fea-
ture of the work.
This is an age of publicity. No
movement worth mentioning meets
with any degree of success without
a great deal of publicity. It's the
first thing one cares to see in the
morning is what happens over night,
and when the day is over the news
paper of the afternoon is looked for
to read the happenings of the day.
The publishing of Sunday school at
tendance in the local papers several
years ago created much interest and
good natured rivalry. And it has
been a disappointment to many that
the work ceased Then no attempt
has ever been made to secure the at
tendance Of the country Sunday
schools. In other counties it has
been carried on with great enthusi-
aSm.
Now that the beautiful spring
days are here there should be a re-
newal of effort on the part of every
Sunday school to build up an attend
ance to excel that of last year. 1t
has been a hard pull for a long time,
with many hindering happenings,
but with the coming of warm
weather, we may expect all the
schools to get in line for a better
work than ever
Call THE NEWS, both phones,
every Monday morning, and give us
your Sunday school attendance, and
other notes of interest concerning the
work!

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED

With local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a local disease, greatly in
fiuenced by constitutional conditions,
and in order to cure it you must take
an internal remedy. Halls Catarrh
Medicine is taken internally and acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system. Halls Catarrh
Medicine was prescribed by one Of
the best physicians in this country
for years. 1t is composed of some of
the best tonics known, combined
with some of the bst blood purifiers.
The perfect combination of the ingre-
dients in Halls Catarrh Medicine is
what produces such wonderful re-
suits in catarrhal conditions. Send

If I were farmer I would keep at
hand few reliable medicines for
minor ailments that are not so seri-
GUS as to require the attention of a
physician, such as Chamberlain
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy for
bowel complaints.
Chamberlain's Liniment for sprains
and bruises and rheumatic pains.
Chamberlain's Tablets for stomach
troubles, biliousness and constipa-
ton.
By having these articles at hand it
would often save the trouble of trip
to town in the busiest season or in
the night, and would enable me to
treat slight ailments as soon as they
appear, and thereby avoid the more
serious diseases that so often follow.

EXTRA WEAR
FROM SHOES

"a year ago / had my shoes re-
soled with Neolin Soles. The soles
are still in service, and it looks as If
would not be able to wear them out,
because the uppers are going first"
said w. c. Dickinson, of New Haven,
Conn.
Good repair shops everywhere carry
these tough and durable soles. See
for yourself how long they last by
having them put on pair of old shoes.
Or if you are In need Of new shoes, buy
them with Neolin Soles. They cost
no m re than shoes that give less
wear, and you need fewer pairs. They
come in many styles for men, women,
and children
Neolin Soles are created by Science
to be comfortable and waterproof, as
well as long-wearing. They are made
by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,
Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot
Heels-guaranteed : to outwear all
other heels.

Obituary Of Rev. T. E. foust.

Rev. Thomas E. Foust was born on
May 81, 1867, in Henry County, Ten
nessee, and died December 81, 1918,
at the home of Mrs. W. M. Lockman
| in Selmer.
Bro. Foust professed saving faith
in Christ when abaut l3 years old,
and joined the M. E. church, South,
at Shiloh church, Manleyville circuit,
Paris district. He was licensed to
preach by Paris District Conference
in 1902, and recommended by said
Conference for admission into The
Memphis Conference. He was admit
ted on trial at the Conference con-
vening at Paris in 1902. He was or
dained Deacon by Bishop W. W. Dun
can at Mayfeld, KY, in 1905. He
was ordained Elder by Risbop E. R.
Hendrix at Greenfield, Tenn, in 1907.
He was married to Miss Jessie Lock
man June 81, 1903. His devoted wife
and six children now mourn their great
loss. !.
Bro. Foust was a devout christian.
He was pure in heart, clean in life,
and prudent in speech letting his
light shine every day, Hence he was
a living epistle of Christ, and many
will rise up in that day and call him
blessed. He was a loving husband
and good father, commanding the re-
spect and obedience of his children,
enduring hardness as good soldier
of Jesus Christ, and was a model itin-
Grant preacher. He possessed con-
quering faith because he was able to
remove all obstacles ont of the path
of life, and was ever able to overcome
evil with good. He was able to come
off more than conquerer over the last
enemy. He could truly say, Thanks
be to God who hath given US the VIC
tory through our Lord Jesus Christ"
1t was an inspiration to be with him
and hear him talk-his radiant smile
was the out-beaming Of the spiritual
life of worthy citizen of the king
dom of heaven. While the outward
man was fading day by day, the inner
man was being renewed by the in
dwelling spirit.
On Janurry l, 1919, at the home
of his mother-in- Flaw, Mrs. W. M.
Lockman, funeral services were con-
Quoted by the pastor, assisted by three
other ministers, Revs 7. F. and ]. B..
Maxedon and ]. W. Wallace, and Pre-
siding Elder B. j. Russell also took
part in the services. His body was
buried in Oakhill cemetery.
Though dead, he yet speaks. We
exeect to know him over there.
