Next Week Is mo Accident
Week" On Railroads

The railroads of the southern re-
gion have designated the week be-
ginning Monday, January 2Oth as
"No Accident Week" The greatest
possible effort is being made on the
part of the officers and employees in
the railroad service to make a perfect
score of 100 per cent. No Accident
Week. They say the patrons of the
railroads can be of greater assistance,
possibly, than some think in helping
the railroad employees to successful
of same. The careful
observation of the public in general,
who helping in all the ways they can
will be greatly appreciated by the
railroad employees, and vii be conduc-
i've to a greater degree of success in
the undertaking.
There will be various signs and slo-
gans posted around depot buildings
and elsewhere, calling attention to
1No Accident Week" One slogan is
Remember No Accident Week" Pa
irons of the railroad in correspond
ence with the officers thereof no doubt
will see this slogan in some prominent
place on the face of correspondence,
and it is the object of the railroad en-
Iploye or officer in using same in that
manner to solicit the cooperation Of
the patrons of the railroads to make
it success. There is another sign
that will probably be posted, reading:
400 Per Cent" In order that the
public may understand that sign, it
Is understood whenever and wherever
they see it in connection with the rail
road depots or other property or
premises, it is meant to call the at
tention of everyone that looks at it to
apply the same to themselves individ-
,ually to be 100 per cent efficient in as
sisting the railroad men TO have a
perfect "No Accident Week"

tronizing the railroad can assist the

parss personally. There are many 1T
tie things such as opening boxes on
the railroad premises, throwing down
the broken parts of same with nails
exposed pointing upward that some
one might be injured BY stepping on.
The throwing of banana and apple
peel on station platform and sidewalk
might cause someone to sip and be
injured, pehaps seriously. The plac-

in hat racks in the coaches where they
might fall and injure people. Unree-

while riding on passenger trains, and
many other slight irregularities that

Lose Another Child

Mr.. and Mrs. Virgil Conn have the
sympathy of their friends in the death
of their little 18-months-old son, who
went to sleep in Jesus this (Saturday)
afternoon at one o'clock. Less than
ten days ago the little 3-year-old
girl died. This is indeed sad dis
pensation of Providence. May the
devoted parents find comfort in the
fact that Jesus said "Suffer little
children to come unto me and forbid
them not, for of such is the Kingdom
of Heaven"

Death Of Lee Kerr

So sudden and unexpected came the
news of the death of Private Lee Kerr
that even yet it is hard to realize he
has passed from US. He was % years
of age and was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones Kerr, of Clark county.
Private Kerr entered the service April
20, 1913 and sailed for France July
21st, and was wounded on the battle
field October 4, an was brought back
to New York, where he remained un-
til his death, January 7th, at the U.
S. A. Debarkation hospital No. ?,
Staten Island. His severe and painful
wound caused much anxiety aid sor-
row among his many friends but he
was thought to be on the road to re-
covery. No death has caused such a
widespread sorrow and such shock
to friends in this county where he
was known and loved. Those who are
near to him mourn but not alone and
in this their hour of deep affiiction,
the tenderest sympathy of all goes
out to them.
He had suffered with a passive pa
tience at which all marveled and in
Years to. come there will be the mem
Iory of one which for all too brief a
space lighted life's dim pathway and
then faded from this earth to add its
radiance to heavens glory. His fu-
neral was conducted at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIII Burgher on Muddy
Creek pike, Winchester, KY. SATURDAY
afternoon at three o'clock; burial in
the Winchester cemetery. He is sur
vived by his father and mother, Mr
and Mrs. Jones Kerr, and one brother
Mr.. John Kerr.
BE Ii gone but not forgotten,
Never shall his memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts Of him shall lingo
Around the grave where he is laid

NO CORN OR TOBACCO SHOW


Farmers all over Kentucky will regret
to learn that there will be no corn
show or tobacco show this year in
connection with Farmers Week which
occurs January % to 31st, at the Uni
versity of Kentucky. The alfalfa
show, however, will be held in the
usual manner and a handsome pre-
MUM list will be provided. The crop
of alfalfa was exceptionally good last
year but on account of a scarcity of
labor, many farmers neglected to bale
their hay or to save bundles of plants
for exhibit. This will cut down the
number of entries but viii of course,
increase the chances of winning by
those who do show. There viii be a
bale class with five awards, also five
awards for the best three inch, (dia-
meter), bundles of alfalfa plants. The
dairy cattle club will also hold its
show and win offer the usual category
of prizes for samples of milk, butter
and cheese.
