STREET PAVING
WILL BE DONE

The City Council and several OF our
most enterprising citizens have about
perfected arrangements to do the
amount of paving planned and pro-
vided for months ago. The difficulty
in. getting bids was due TO the fact
that contractors want the money to
be ready as the work progresses. This
was difficult because of the laws, but
number of citizens will join in an
arrangement that Will get the funds.
Lock avenue will not be paved be-
cause OF a controversy with the wat
er company. The water main on Lock
avenue Is the old spiral pipe originally
laid and has not been replaced with
standard cast pipe. The city can not
afford to lay paving over this line,
where leaks occur so often. For this
reason the paving will start at Lock
avenue and continue as far as the
money will permit The State aid
money will be available on this work
as heretofore announced.

PUCILIST
BORN NEAR HERE

The prize fight for the heavyweight
championship of the world took place
at Toledo, Ohio, July 4. in the presence
of more than 10000 people. who paid
from $40 TO $50 apiece to see a brutal
exhibition lasting nine minutes. Men
had come from foreign countries to
witness an affair that was practically
settled by one or two blows, delivered
in the first two minutes.
From the standpoint of fight II
was the poorest championship contest
ever witnessed. Jack Dempsey really
whipped the Champion Jess Willard
in the first round, when he dazed him
with one blow and knocked him down
FIVE times. Willard came back for two
additional rounds in which he was
pounded numerically Before the
fourth started he threw towel in the
ring. Indicating that it was no use to
continue.
Willard had been champion over
five years. He weighed 245 pounds and
is 3S years old. Dempsey weighed 1877
and is "a years OF age.
Dempsey Born In Logan.
Dempsey's home is in Salt Lake City.
He was born and partially reared in
Logan or Mingo-co., w. Va, about 40
to so miles from Louisa. When he was
a boy his parents moved west II is
said he has many relatives in Mingo
and in Martin-co.. Ky.
Dempsey received $4,000 for the
fight and sold his moving picture rights
for $4,000. willard got 100000 and
retains his moving picture interests.

The Herculean Labors
of Woodrow Wilson

(The following is an editorial from
the Cincinnati Enquirer.)
II is by the standard of those enor-
nous labors of an old Greek demigod
that the world has agreed to estimate
the efforts and struggles OF his sue
cessors Many men have wrought
tremendously since his day and proved
themselves his not unworthy rivals,
but it may be doubted whether in all
those ages any one has ever toiled
more ceaselessly or crowded greater
achievements into a year of human
life than woodrow Wilson.
II is too soon to estimate the essen
tial value of those labors, and we
would not be wise enough to do so
were Ii later. OF their magnitude,
however, even the ordinary observer
might pretend to be a judge, He would
estimate them, first, by a physical
gauge. Considered from the point of
bodily energy only, what Mr., Wilson
has achieved is quite astounding He
is not a giant; he does not even seem
robust, and yet, through all these ardu-
Gus weeks and months he has made
long journeys sat through tedious
banquets, detained innumerable
speeches, crossed the ocean twice and
made other tiresome journeys; lost
his sleep of nights and almost literally,
like another Atlas, carried the world
upon his shoulders.
To realize the drafts which have
been made upon his intellectual energy
one must review the problems which
he has been compelled to grapple with
The fundamental question, as to
whether we should enter the war at
all, required a study of the policies of
almost every nation upon the globe in
to the effort to comprehend
the thoughts and wishes of the people
of these United States Once launched
upon the mighty enterprise he had to
measure our national resources. organ
ize our army and navy, plan for the
of billions of money and set in
operation the stupendous machinery to

undertaking of forming

TO Judge, If not to settle, whether be-
tween the greatest or smallest nations
