Ernest Gravett, who has been
suffering from a very sore limb
since his return from the army
five weeks ago, rode into town
yesterday. He was hobbling on
crutches, his leg still being
badly liberated. The injury
was occasioned by some blis.
ters which formed on his toes
while in service, but which pass.
ed the various inspections of doe.
tors as a very negligible ailment.
With the curing up of the blis-
ters on his foot, his leg swelled
to his knee, which had to be
lanced. This sore still runs pro-
fusely each day, and the leaders
OF his knee are badly drawn.

Expand The Law

Being unable to get the Irvine
auto drivers to contract their
speed to the limits of the law,
the Estlll Tribune suggests that
the speed limit of 8 miles an
hour, be treated to anO at the
right so as to make it 80 instead
of 8. BY so expanding the law,
the Tribune thinks 1t will most
certainly relieve the drivers of
breaking it, as the paper "feels
certain that none of them have
made a better speed than 1913
miles per hour"
Now If we had not mentioned
the Tribune, people would have
thought we were referring to Clay
City autoists instead of Irvine
speeders.

Monday was regular monthly
courtday and big crowd was in
town. A good run of cattle was al
the pens but prices were off owing
to the fact that farmers could not
buy because of the shortage OF
grass and the drouth. The best
cattle sold at 10 cents; good yearl =
ings for and 8 cents; fat cows
and heifers, 7 and s cents; young
cows, 6 cents; Gamers, 4 and S
cents.
There was a big run of sucking
mules on the market but no foreign
buyers. However, there were rea-
dy sales to farmers at from $40 to
$50. Some sheep sold at from $40
to SIS per head.-Mt. Sterling Ga

Change in Railway

Effective October 1st, the l..

and report to Offices at Ravenna

Just how it will affect the pres

complaining about the change.
They say many of them will now
have to work out of Covington

All the right of way for the new
road has been adjusted through tc
the Clark county line. All land
owners on the road had previously
signed for the right of way under
the adopted survey two years ago,
but the more recent survey made
some changes along the route. One
of these changes was along the
farm of j. w. Mcintosh, Just at the
Lulbegrud bridge. Mr.. Mcintosh
has huge rock fence for quite a
distance this side of the bridge,
anchored to protect his land from
over flow. Mr.. Mcintosh moved
this fence two years ago at his own
cost to leave room for the right of :
way. The recent survey took more
of Mr.. McIntosh's land. He did
not object to giving more land
which was necessary to get upon
the bridge better, but he did object
to moving his fence the second
time. Judge Daniel went down and
adjusted matters with Mr.. McIn-
tosh by agreeing to move his fence
back at no expense to him. This
removes the last obstacle so far as
right ofw is concerned. The
contractors now have nothing to do
but build the road and the county
has nothing to do but foot the bill.

The cars 60 to points near Fin

delivers each day twenty such

pass down the road each day.

further looks like the oil com.

ALL BILLBOARD LIQUOR
"ADS" MUST BE REMOVED
Provision in Dry Enforcement Act
Holds Owner Of Premises
Responsible.

A provision of the prohibition en-
forcement law that is looked upon by
the police as being Of much impor-
lance and which, it is thought. may
be overlooked by many interested
persons is the one which forbids the
advertising of intoxicants.
Not only does the law prevent such
advertising in publications and by
other means. it is pointed out. but 1t
also prohibits the maintenance OF
signs that were used during the
period when the sale of intoxicants
was lawful.
Section II of title 2 Of the act pro-
hbits the advertising anywhere, or
by any means or method. liquor, or
the manufacture, sale, keeping for
sale or furnishing of the same. or
where, how, from whom or at what
price the same may be obtained.
The concluding paragraph-the one
of interest to many former liquor
dealers, reads: mo one shall permit
any sign or billboard containing such
advertisement to remain upon ones
premises"
The wording of the foregoing para
graph is taken by prosecuting Off
Gals to mean that all old liquor signs
will have to be obliterated. 1t 10 said
that many such signs are still in evil
dence in cities that Joined the dry
column long ago, but their mainten-
ance after the bill becomes operative
will be an offense under the law.

Prophecy

The prophets affecting are al
ways predicting that evils are
coming to pass; the oil we are
pumping is billed for a slumping,
and soon we won't have any gas.
The prophets are wailing that
coal mines are failing, and soon
we'll have nothing to burn well
sit up and shiver from wishbone
to liver, and wish that old times
might return. Our lands are ex-
hausted and husbandry's frosted,
and soon we'll have nothing to
eat; there's not enough leather
to make a good tether, and
there'll be no shoes for our feet.
The sheep are not bearing the
wool for our wearing, and we'll
have no rags for our backs; it's
no world for boosters our hens
are all BOOSTERS, our milk cows
won't get down to tacks. The
gods are against us, they've
herded and fenced US preparing
to hand us jolt; the futures
alarming, so let us be arming,
for anarchy, riot, revolt. And
yet we're so silly we heed not the
chilly and ominous words of the
seers; we're joking and playing
while doing our haying, and zip
ping and wagging our ears. The
talk of disaster, it seems, cannot
master the natural pep of the
soul; we ought to be dropping,
but gayly we're whooping while
laying in cordwood and coal.
