IN the presence of a number OF friends.
The rooms were decorated with ferns.

BIG CRASHIN THE
STOCK MARKET

The worst crash in the stock market
that has occurred since Oct. 81. 1907,
when the great panic started. took
place. last Friday. Fortunes were lost
by the spectators, but the Federal
Reserve System saved everybody else.
The panic of 1907 started in Wall
Street exactly like the smash of last
week, but the difference was that the
currency laws were then so unstable
that banks became involved and the
public was thrown into panic lasting
for months. 1t was years before full
recovery was made. This time nobody
but the stock gamblers were hurt or
scared and business in other lines went
along as usual. 1t is another proof of
the value OF the Federal Reserve law,
which weathered the storm of the
world war and enabled the United
States to become the banker for the
world. Without that law the war would
have ruined us.

REV. F.F. SHANNON
CONSIDERING CALLS

Rev +. f. Shannon, of Brooklyn, has
under consideration offers from three
OF the large churches of New York and
Chicago to become pastor. He has not
yet decided which he will accept.
DIR. Gunsaulus, of Chicago, is retir-
ing to give all his time to the Armour
Institute, of which he is the head. DIR.
Shannon has preached in that church
twice this month at the urgent request
of DR.. Gunsaulus and the board and a
proposition for the pastorate has been
made by them.
In New York city the pulpit soon to
be vacated by Newell Dwight Hills
has been offered to Mr. Shannon. Also,
another. church. on Fifth avenue has
made an offer.
Gunsaulus and Hills rank as two
of the greatest preachers and lecturers
in the United States. The fact that
their congregations are after Mr.. Shan
non with offers and appeals shows con-
clusively where he is placed in the list
OF leading ministers. His home town
of Louisa is justified in believing he is
the peer OF any preacher in this great
country.

COAL SITUATION
NOT IMPROVED in
UNION DISTRICT

Union miners are not working In the
strike districts, In spite of the fact that
the leaders publicly called Off the strike
when ordered by the United States
Court TO do so. They are suspected of
having privately passed the word along
TO stay out The court should see that
no benefits are distributed, because
this is the only way In which this vile
conspiracy can be maintained.
Nearly all the mines in the Big
Sandy and Tug river fields are running.
This Is due to the fact that a large
percentage are natives, whose Ameri-
canism can be aroused by showing
them the facts, The foreign highway
men must be shipped out of the United
States before we can have justice.
Anarchist leaders drawing from $4,000
to $4,000 a year salary from the wages
or miners will do anything to keep
their easy jobs going. Some OF them
would commit murder for that amount
OF money or less. They care nothing
for the interests of the miners or the
public.
Americanism asserting itself is the
only hope for this country. II is high
time the public shows its resentment
and its power.
The government has just uncovered
plots to kin officials and Judges at
Christmas times with bombs disguised
as Christmas presents. Anarchy is
rampant in the United States.

Washington.-Fa Failing after three at
tempts 10 ratify the peace treaty. the
senate late last night laid IL aside
ended the special session and went
home.
All compromise efforts, and the three
resolutions OF ratihcations all went TO
defeat, the Republicans then put In a
resolution 10 declare the war at an end,
which was lost.
Two OF three ratification votes were
taken on the reservation drafted by
the Republican majority, containing
reservations. which President Wilson
.ad told Democratic senator's in let
ter earlier IN the day would mean null
iilcation OF the treaty.
The first vote on this reservation
stood 80 to SIS against on the second
one taken after several hours OF pre-
lifninary wrangling In which the Dem
ocrats made efforts to bring over some
Of the Republican group OF mild reser-
vationists. II senators voted in the af-
flrrnative and 81 in the negative.
A third vote WAS ON straight out
resolution without reservations which
got only 3s votes to 5S opposing IT,
Only one Republican, Senator McCum-
her. North Dakota. voted with the
Democrats In It's support.
Republican Leader Lodge declared
today's voting constituted a final de-
ciaion ON the peace treaty unless Pres
ident Wilson circumvented the senate
rules by withdrawing II and then sub
hitting II again to the senate In all
quarters there was difference OF opin-
ion but general sentiment seemed to be
that there was a slender chance that
the treaty would come up at the open
Ing OF the next session OF congress,
beginning next month.
One effect OF the eenate's failure y
rAtlfy the treaty win be the continual
ton OF various wartime laws and reg
ulatIons at least until the new session
opens Among these is the wartime
prohibition act,
Tho resolution presented 20 declare
state OF peace win come up at tse
beginning OF the new session and Is ex 4
pected to start another stubborn fight
The administration is Understood TO be
opposed to such method OF legally
ending the war and In the background
Is constitutional question as to whoth
er congress- can do so by resolution
not requiring the Presidents sigma
fure.

THE BOND ISSUE
FOR ROADS DEC. 20

Every Lawrence county citizen who
favors good roads should get busy with
his neighbors in favor of the bond
issue which is to be voted on Dec. goth.
II ever any county in the world need
ed good roads II is Lawrence county
and II ever a good proposition was Of
fered to get county to solve this most
important problem 1t is now open to
Lawrence county
The State and nation stand ready
with an offer to give us hundred OF
thousands of dollars to build roads
by doing less than one third of the
Job ourselves.
We must build the right kind of
roads and quit wasting our tax money
in mud holes that return every time It
rains. Let's get money enough at one
time to build roads that will stand
and the money now wasted can be
used to pay interest on our part of the
cost of the roads.
All danger of squandering the money
through incompetency or otherwise is
eliminated by the fact that the work
must be done as directed by State and
national engineers. This removes the
objection that many of the most rrac-
tical men of our county offered to
bonds in former years.
The oil development will pay the
greatest part OF the cost II we will give
them the roads. One of the oil com
panies operating here is already the
second largest tax payer in Lawrence
county, and it has only fairly started
on the job of developing its Immense
acreage of proved territory. There are
other companies that will be just as
large. The local citizens will get the
benefits of the large amount of taxes
paid by these companies. And the
companies will gladly pay 1t and do
even more than that If they can get the
roads.
Lawrence is the missing link in the
chain of Big Sandy counties. Let's
supply that link on Dec. goth.
Four roads are to be built, giving
everybody n chance to be near an i'm
proved highway. The oil development
and the enterprises 1t will bring will
increase the tax receipts to such an
extent that we will not feel any burden
from the building Of roads. Then when
we consider what 1t means to spend
nearly million dollars In the county
for road work there is no argument left
against It.

OILDEVELOPMENT
in THIS COUNTY
is ON THE BOOM

Two more good wells have been
completed in the field near Louisa.
One is on F. r. Bussey's land, near
Mrs. Bette Piggs., 1t is making an
excellent showing while being cleaned
out. There seems to be no doubt about
1t being the best well in the Bussey-
vile field. Estimates run all the way
TO 20 barrels or more, but the most
conservative say It should settle down
TO not less than ten barrels. The New
Domain owns the lease. This means
big development in that vicinity.
The well on the Muncy tract by
Slagel brothers is about due TO come
in. II good this will open another
large piece Of territory heretofore un-
tested.
On M. l.. Johns farm two miles be-
low Louisa well has been drilled in
that is good for seven barrels No. 2
on the same tract will be started with
in a few days. This adjoins the Re
becca Peters land, on the side toward
the river.
A wen is TO be started on f. E. Shan
mons 500 acres on Rockcastle, near
Clifford, Mr.. Shamberg has charge of
this development.
II is said the South Penn will do a
lot of drilling between Fort Gay and
the Twelve Pole valley during the
coming season.
t. +. Maloney, large operator from
Lee county. is at work on the James
Q. Dachey farm two miles below Lou
lisa. Also he has a large block of leases
on Lick Creek and will proceed with
the development there as soon as pos
sible.
Mr.. Crumley, the new field man for
the Ohio Fuel, is giving entire satisfac-
ton in handling the work in this field.
The new pipe line to Blaine is now
handling oil steadily. doing much bet
ter than AT first. 1t is said this line
will be extended a few miles to Bas-
com Elliott county. where well Is
making IA barrels per day.
New rigs are coming into Lawrence
county every few days and drilling is
on the hum,
