KENTUCKY's FIRST OIL WELL

In the year 1894, gentleman
emigrated from New England to
Cumberland county, Kentucky, and
there established his home. He
was man of small resources
financially, but with a family of
nine, heavy liabilities. His home
was situated between small stream
leading down to the river and the
foot of a tall Cumberland county
mountain. He conceived the idea
Of sinking brine well or drilling for
salt water, with the ultimate pur-
pose of manufacturing salt in large
and paying quantities.
His project soon became the OBJ
iect of a good deal of ridicule on
the part of his neighbors. This
incensed the enterprising gentleman
to the extent that on one particular
afternoon after RECALLING himself on
mountain water" more generally
known as ''moOnshine," had inform
ed his neighbors that he would drill
and drill and drill until he struck
salt water or hell and so he drilled
and drilled and drilled until one day,
some months following, as he came
over the hill from getting his fiji
at a certain still just at twilight,
he looked down upon his industry
and saw coming from the mouth of
the well a great flame of fire lick
ing the top Of the tallest trees; and
looking further, he saw the pre-
viously placid little mountain
stream burning sheet as far down
the hillside as the eye could see.
Naturally his conclusion was
that in failing TO strike salt water
he had made good his threat and
had opened up hell on his neighbors
and fellow neighbors of Cumberland
county. Believing that this would
bring down upon him their con-
demnation and probably result in
the revival of some of the punish
monts of the good old fathers back
in the days of Witchcraft the
morning found his mountain hut de-
serted, his rich oil well left to those
who might dare to claim il; and it
is recorded that when last seen just
this side of the Kentucky border
on his way back to Pennsylvania,
he stated that the only reason he
was walking he did not have wings
to fly.

A banquet had been spread at the
Tavern for the visitors and some
local boosters for good roads.
About one hundred and fifty sat
down TO toothsome feast prepared
and served in most inviting style.
Due TO the public meeting which
was called for eight o'clock. there
were no "after-dinner speeches."
but the party adjourned 10 the pa
vilion back Of the library where a
good crowd had gathered TO hear
the addresses there.
After the singing Of some patri-
otto songs and some happy re-
marks by the chairman, Mr.. Hern-
don, Judge Allison, chairman Of the
Dixie Highway Commission, from
Chattanooga, Tenn, gave a brief ad-
dress, outlining in general the
work Of the Highway Commission.
and expressing his high expecta-
ton that Kentucky would not fail
in her part Of the great project.
Among those who were present as
members Of the Highway Commits
sion and spoke at the meeting were

Ohio train No. 81, Detroit 10 Gin
cinnati, foiled an attempted train
robbery near Lima, o., last Satur-
day as well as prevented what ap-
peared sure to be bad wreck il he
had obeyed the orders Of the hold
up men, according TO statements Of
the train crew and passengers on
arrival at Cincinnati.
The train was preparing to back
up on a siding near Lima TO allow
train No SO, Cincinnati TO Detroit,
10 pass. Four men who were in
hiding, crept out and unconpIed the
train from the locomotive. But the
holdup men failed TO notice the
safety chain. They demanded that
the engineer pull his engine away
from there. The engineer refused,
but did put on steam enough TO give
the train a jerk, the safety chain
standing the pull. The train crew,
knowing that train No. SO had not
passed, rushed out Of the train
when il began TO move and drove
off the bandits with revolvers.
The express car was directly be-
hind the engine and would probably
have been looted, while had the
engine pulled away it would have
been directly in the way of No. SO,
which came through not five min
utes after the bandits had disap-
peared into the woods and the
engineer had backed his train onto
the siding.

GOOD ROADS MEETING A GREAT
SUCCESS

Since il became known that the
Dixie Highway Commission would
visit Berea on their official inspec-
ton trip Of the highway from Gin
cinnati south, the local Committee
has been busy making arrangements
for a big rally Of the citizens in
the interest Of good roads.
Despite the heavy rain, the Of
fetal party reached Berea on Mon
day evening at Gas. Just forty-flve
minutes behind the scheduled hour
for their arrival, and were well
coined at Boone Tavern by the local
chairman, Mr.. J. w. Herndon and

and. County Road Commissioners
Baxter, Of Richmond, we're also
present and spoke effectively in
favor Of good roads. Mr.. Bradbury
represented Judge Mullins Of Rock
castle county, and responded TO a
request Of the chair for a short
speech.
We wish 4 were possible for us
10 give a stenographic report Of
each speech, but must content our
selves with mentioning some Of the
high spots touched by the speak
ers.
II any came TO the meeting with
the idea that the discussion Of good
roads would prove a dry subject
they were soon disillusioned. Every
speaker had a real message packed
full of facts, argument, good sense
and a little nonsense for spice, that
held the closest attention through
out.
We can no longer consider the
matter of a good road as a luxury
IL is a twentieth century necessity.
II is inseparably associated with
our development along social, edu-
cational and religious lines. In
deed, so definitely associated that
without good roads our progress
along these lines must Of necessity
be retarded
Some Of the hot shots from live
wires are as follows:

The concluding paragraph quotes
this utterance of Abraham Lincoln:
81 pray that our Heavenly Father
may assuage the anguish of your
bereavement AND leave you only
the cherished memory of the loved
and lost, and the solemn price that
must be yours to have laid so costly
sacrifice on the altar Of freedom"

Secretary Daniels stated recently
that the navy department had in
contemplation a trans-Paciflc flight
with a lighter than-air craft as
soon as il could build a modern
dirigible of American design. He
intimated, however, that reduction
of the 1920 naval aviation apprOpri-
alton from sl5,OOO,OOO to si5,O00,00O
IL
as proposed by the House naval
committee would cause abandon
ment Of the plan.
The secretary said reduction OF
the appropriation virtually would
mean that the American navy must
stand still and watch the procession
go by, after having just completed
the most remarkable achievement
in the history of aviation - the
transatlantic flight" Naval officials
said Great Britain would spend
from s25O,OOO,OO0 to S3O0,OO0,OOO OF
the army and navy air services
during the coming year and that
France would spend more1 thar

Doubtless every one knows the val
ue of the purple martin, which usual
ly makes its appearance in Kentucky
from April LIST, to the 18th, and wiicn
is one of the greatest insect destroy
ers of the bird specie. And since
farmers of Kentucky lose thousands
of dollars annually through the med
ium of the insect and since 1t Is most
imperative that the blue martin be en-.
couraged to the fullest extent to come
and remain with us, feel, that injus-
tice to the hungry, starving millions.
that every housekeeper and every
farmer In Kentucky should at once
erect poles and place upon same a
simple and substantial martin box as
home for these most valuable birds,
at will only necessitate a little time
and the expenditure of a very small
amount Of funds and will result in a
saving of almost an unlimited amount
of foods and feeds.
Therefore, please do not put it of,
or "let George do it," but begin today
the erection of homes for these busy
useful and badly needed little birds.
