BOX SUPPER AT BENEFITS

Quite a pleasant and interesting
affair was the old-fashioned box
supper given at Benefits school
house Saturday evening in interest
of the school. Considerable pro-
ceeds were realized which will be
used for the improvement of the
school.
One of the interesting features
of the evening was a reading and
lecture by Miss Annie Davis, CouI-
ty Moonlight school Agent, who
pleasantly entertained the people
with an inimitable rendering. She
also placed the fact of the necessi-
ty of moonlight schools very ably
before the people. Miss Muriel
Wilson, the teacher, is to be con-
graduated on her efficient manage
ment of the affair.

NEWSPAPER STARTS ROMANCE

About a year ago there appeared
in the Hartford Herald, an article
describing the splendid work being
done in Ohio County by the farm
girls, or Farmerettes. In this arti-
Gle we mentioned one girl in parti-
cular. This article was clipped by
a paper published in France to be
distributed in the trenches. There,
young man whose home is in the
smoky City of New York, read this
clipping and his fancy was caught
by the spirit of independence brav-
cry and courage as displayed by
this Kentucky girl. He Immediately
wrote to her and this resulted in a
which lasted until
the young man returned from the
trenches to his home and he start
er to Hartford in his car to see this
dream girl. After a two weeks
visit here with the young lady, he
left Friday on the return trip to
New York City. 1t is rumored that
he will return to Kentucky later in
the season and will not return to
the east alone next time!

PULL DAT HARDWARE.

When some of the Beaver Dam
folks last Saturday afternoon heard
the continuous roar of guns, they
Imagined that either a battle was
in progress or some regiment had
encamped near town for target
practice. 1t developed that it was
only three negroes taking pot shots
at each other over some imaginary
ills, sending along prayer with
each shot that it would go astray.
The darkies were all Chinns--
Claud and Frank on one side and
Birch on the other. The alterca-
ton came up over some of the
women folks and they decided to
settle the matter with a duel. No
one was hurt but they were all
hauled into court and fined $50
each for their fun.

A BOXING CLASS

Mr.. r. X. Riley, who teaches a
class of boys at the Sunday School
of the Christian church, has HIT
upon a novel idea to interest his
boys and at the same time give
them some good healthful exercise.
Mr.. Riley has purchased set of
boxing gloves and is giving his
boys practice in the art of pugilism.
1t will doubtless prove a drawing
card for Mr.. Riley's class and is
unquestionably a novel plan to
furnish them exercise and enter

ROBBED OF $4,000.
Bandits Enter Citizens Bank,
Taking All CASH.
One Captured.

The most daring and malicious
robberies ever committed in this
section took place at South Carroll
ton Monday when three bandits en-
tered the Citizens Bank and forced
the cashier to hand over all the
cash and bonds in the building.
Most of the people of the town
were at Central City attending the
circus and the robbers chose an op-
perfume time to commit the deed.
They entered the town disguised
as negroes but it has since develop
ed that they were white men. They
came in an automobile and after
the robbery, tried to leave town in
it but the engine refused to work
and they abandoned 1t and eacap
ed into the woods across the river
from the town.
Huge Sum Taken
They secured in all about $685.

and the rest in Government bonds.
AS soon as the cashier could get
the opportunity, he notified the
sheriff and all the neighboring
county officials were put on their
trail However, up to our press
hour, only one had been apprehend-

Young Boy Caught
The one who was captured, John
Wells, of Central City, seventeen

Miss Annie Davis, County
Agent Putting on a
Campaign

Plans by which the stain of illit-
eracy may be removed from Ohio
county have been formed by Miss
Annie Davis, the county agent, in
cooperation with Supt. E. s. Ho-
ward, the board of county commits
sioners and the enlistment of the
county teachers.
The preliminary organization
work has been going on for the
past three weeks when the help of
the county officials, clubs, bankers,

The county commissioners, COM
posed of e. s. Howard, chairman;
Ellis Sandefur, Mrs. Cleo Frymire
and j. c. Lawrence, have promised
assistance and untiring efforts to
accomplish this task for Ohio coun-
ty. mo illiterates in the county
this year" is the aim of all.
Realizing this is the last year of
the life of the Kentucky commits
sioners, and that an appreciablo
step towards complete eradication
of illiteracy must be made by 1920,
many organizations of the State
are throwing their weight into the
campaign in the hope that the final
report shall show Kentucky far up
in the list of States free from illit-
eracy.
The first years were spent more
or less in organization work as
well as teaching, but now that the
machine is in good working order
il is believed illiteracy can be wiped
out in the allotted time.
Miss Davis has lately returned
from Frankfort, where she has had
a full course of the work. and

Some twenty of them have already
been visited and the people found
very much interested and eager
for the moon light school.
Several illiterates have already
called at Miss Davies Office asking
for books to be studying before the
school opens.
The commission was formed for a
double purpose, first, to increase
daily school attendance, and second
to wipe out illiteracy.
The phase of duly school attend

to be the best way to avoid a large
of illiterates.
The cooperation of the county
attorney in enforcing the school

A tragedy occurred at MartN ick,
Muhlenburg county, Sunday. when
Noah Zachary shot and killed his
sister, Mrs. John Gary and proba-

The misunderstanding from which

come up over some cows which
were kept by the Garys and which
Mr.. Zachary came to drive home.
Words of anger, followed by the
