We read great deal about this year
being locust year. That is the seven
teen year cicadae will appear this
year. 1t seems strange that the ma
jority of people keep no record of such
occurrences and are willing to swal-
low any kind Of dope that papers may
contain
In 1906 there We're cicades here by
millions and their noise was deafen-
ing. That has been thirteen years and
we shall have only a sprinkle of the
noisy things compared with the sew
enteen year brood.
Some people speak of them as a
curse but they come nearer being a
blessing especially to all poultry rails
ers and owners Of hogs. Hogs will
fatten on them and poultry will search
the hills for them With corn at $500
per bushel and eggs 35c per dozen,
the cicadae will prove blessing.
Let 'em come but let us keep rec
ord of the occurrence so that If we
shall have passed from the stage of
action others may know just when to
expect their return.

Louisa, Ky, April 16, 1919
Who shall be our next Representa-
tive in the Congress of the United
States? This is an important ques-
ton and should be well considered by
the voters of the 9th Congressional
district 1t is true the election is a
good way off. but this gives US more
time to think over and decide the
matter ~ ....
1 have voted 3 times in succession
Tor Hon. w. j. Fields and each time
he has been elected. 1t looks like this
zB enough for one man. and he should
move up higher or covered with honor
return to private life. Five times in
the primary and four times at the
general election have l thus honored
him. and am glad l did.
In looking over the district for one
to take his place my mind has settled
on Hon. w. H. Flannery, of Boyd
county. | have known him quite in
timately for many years, as school
teacher as a lawyer, as citizen. He
is a clean man. sober, honest, upright,
moral public spirited and sane and
safe and sound on all matters pertain
ing to the interest of the State and
yer since 1895 at which time he
moved from Elliott county to Pike
county and began the practice of the
law. He has risen to distinction in
his profession and is recognized as a
lawyer of marked ability He married
Miss Elliott. a niece of Hon. John NJ
Elliott. He is related to many of the
leading families of Elliott, Carter and
Morgan counties, and has the conf
dence and respect of all the business
men not only of that section but all
over the Big Sandy valley and north
eastern Kentucky. In my humble
opinion he ought to be in Congress-.
Let's send him.
Mr.. Flannery knows nothing of this
letter and will not until he sees it in
the Big Sandy News.

EASTER.


Easter takes us back through distant
To those times recorded In sacred
pages,
When in Egypt the Israolltes were In
bondage held,
Until PIN oah was by Jehovah quelIed
When God sent his angels in the night
And DER that darkenod land they took
their flight,
And whcre'er upon the door the blood
was seen
That household they from death did
screen.
But in Egytlan homes ere the break
day
Ten thousand lifelesB children lay.
To commemorate this great event
The Jews, annually 10 Jerusalem went;
In many palmy Iudcan year
Three million souls assembled here.
On hill and plain beneath the stars OF
night,
There lay their vast encampment
white.
And now throughout all the christian
nations wide
The Passover Is perpeuatod in the
II was on Easter that Jesus arose from
the dead
After he was crucifed and had suffered
and bled
Just at the dawn Of the first Easter
day
The angel descended and rolled the
stone from his grave away.
With strength and force like lightning
bright
He opened the tomb and Jesus came
forth with eternal light,
In the dewy morn's early hush,
While Ger Mt, Olive came the FIRST
crimson blush.
Enacted there was the miracle OF
greatest import to men,
For with Him carth's dead shall rise
again.
Still throughout the world OF sin and
sorrow, death and strife.
Rings the message II am the resurrec-
ton and the life"
Though disease and war have their
millions slain,
Yet Easter means that faith for eternal
life is not In vain.
Ere long Jesus with his angels will be
seen In the sky.
For the last great day is drawing nigh.
Let us then be ready our Lord to meet
For all must appear before His judg-
ment seat.

Moreover. the largest brokerage and
banking houses have for some time been
conducting a campaign to curb the sort
of enthusiasm which prevents ra.

campaign seems to have accomplished in
