PROMINENT CITIZENS INDICTED

On how small thing may des-
tiny swing! In the beginning OF the
race, the Apple of Adams eye Of
fered him an apple, and 10, chaos!
The spirit of taking a chance,
which began in an environment Of
perfection, has spread down the ages
and reached Barbourville. AS a
consequence, some Of our most gift
ed sons, otherwise of beautiful
pulchritude of conduct, have found
! themselves in the strong meshes of
the net, which. thrown out by the
Grand jury on the waters of life,
has gathered in those who have
strayed from their Ark of Safety.
When, as boys, they We'd in tho
healthful pastime of jumping at n
crack in the sidewalk, guessed heads
or tails, even while they kept the
coin, so precious in the days of
scarcity, playing marbles for keeps
and other such games of chance,
little did they imagine that these
customs might, when age had en-
dowed them with ell the strength
and attraction Of young manhood,
examples of what young men should
be, when, in fact, success spread
out before them and the golden ap-
pie in the Garden Of Opportunity
were theirs for the picking, little
did they imagine, we repeat, that
a penny cast at a crack or the Il
Pluribus Unium VS.. Liberty, over a
glass of sparkling coke, poured from
a bottle and mixed with water, gas
eous or plain, would be their down
fall. Yet, so It seems, because said
well beloved sons of our Fair town
to ripe and goodly number, in fact
are now wondering what will hap
pen when Circuit Court again meets
and the penny cast at crack and
/ Il Pluribus Unum VS.. Liberty VS..
coke, come up for judgment.
Thus does the influence of the
past, not only our own, but that of
Sur numberless ancestors rise to
put the kibosh on us.
Meanwhile let us walk warily,
treating Dutch fashion and hanging
grimly on to the pennies, SO that
the dollars may take care of them
, selves. Else, EFT tn, Brute."

INCONSISTENCIES AT WORK
IN KNOX COUNTY

Kspatable citizens OF Fount and
Girdler state that whiskey drinking
is so rampant around those towns
that Il IS not safe to travel at night.
The young bloods. with perhaps a
sprinlling Of older heads. ride up
and down the roads yelling and
shooting OFF their guns to the dan
ger Of anyone who may be travelling
on the roads.
This should be stopped and the
best way 10 stop 1t is to stop the
manufacture of the moonshine whis
key. There is no blinking the fact
that 1t is causing all kind of trou-
BILE in our County, including the
crime of murder whereby women
are left with families to fight the
battle OF life alone. 1t is bottled
or jagged deviltry and has no legal
standing in the community. In fact
it is an outlaw, subsisting on the
suffrance of those failing to report
existing stills. II there is no other
way in which It can be suppressed
then the officers of Uncle Sam should
be brought into the fight and the IL
lsgal stills should be put out of
business.
This DEVILS brew is causing par
ents to worry for their sons, not only

physically.
Judge r. S. Rose has made

with stills by making the drinking
individual tell where he is getting
Judge Z. S. Rose had made
start In the work of doing away with
stills by making the drinking indi-
vidual tell where he is getting the
stuff. Every known still should be
reported to the Internal Revenue
Office at Louisville
The condition is so bad that some
of those who reported the matter to
the Advocate state that they may be
compelled to leave the districts in
which they live unless conditions i'm
prove.
What is everybody's business is
said to be nobodY's business, but If
the individual will make it his bus
mess to report the existence Of stills
there will soon be a clearing up of
the Illegal traffic.

OUR STREETS

In wishing a Happy and Prosper
Gus New Year to our new City Coun-
Gil, let us remember the good work
of the old City Council. As we look
over the paved streets and realize
what they mean and will mean to
Barbourville, let us put on record
the names of the men who consti-
tuted the old Council. Thos. D.
Tinsley, Mayor, City Council, r. w
Cole, Judge S. b. Dishman, Geo. w.
Tye, DR.. j. +. Faulkner, Judge b.
B. Golden and J. r. Jones.
When these men put down streets
that are streets (and it took nerve
to do it, they put BarbOurville on
the map. The city will become
more and more a city OF homes and
a center of education and, when the
Dixie Highway is completed, land
1t will be completed if Congressman
Robson knows what he is talking
about and we know he does,) then
the tourist. who will bring thous-
ands of dollars to Barbourville. will
be able to pass from a pike road
onto our paved streets, which. other
wise. would have been a weak link
IN the system.
There are still streets that should
be paved and we have no doubt
that the present City Council will
show energy in getting them paved
especially as ocular demonstration
OF what paved streets mean should
make it easier to get the work done.
Here's to n BarbOurville with every
street paved by 1921!

LETTER FROM ,. NJ. ROBSON
Washington, d. c., Dec. %, 1919
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Washington, d. c., Dec. %, 1919.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
Congress, Saturday night before
adjournment. passed the bill In
creasing the compensation for dis
abled soldiers, sailors and Marines
to be effective on April 9Th. 1917.
This increases the compensation for
these boys nearly three times. ]
understand that the President will
sign the bill today. Many OF our
disabled heroes will get more than
thousand dollars back compensa-
ton and nearly three times as much
in the future as they have gotten
heretofore. It is indeed splendid
Christmas gift for the soldiers.
| find that great many soldier
boys have not received their full
quota OF clothing and equipment.
II any OF your readers have not re-
ceived their full quota of clothing
and equipment | should be glad to
send them blanks.
A great many soldier boys have
not received their Liberty Bonds for
which they have paid and are hav-
ing trouble with their compensation
and allotments. shall be glad to
help all who desire help on this
matter. The Congressman can get
quicker action on these matters than
the parties themselves.
We are assured by the Republi-
can leaders that the Fuller Bill. CIV
ing additional pay to the Union Vet
Grams, will come up and be passed
on January 5th, and that our Span
ish-American and PHILIPPINE War
Pension Bill will be taken up and
passed by the house in January.
shall be glad to send the latest Farm
er's Year Book and Farmers Bull
letirs to those who may desire them.
I shall be glad to help your read
ers and your people down there in
any way | can. l am sure that the
foregoing will be good Christmas
news to the soldiers of all the wars
and I will thank you to publish the
same.
We are making hard effort to
have the Congress consider and pass
the increased pay bill, or bonus bill,
for the World War soldiers.
Wishing you and your readers a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year. | remain, Your friend
J. NJ. Robson.

CHRISTMAS AT THE
HICKORY MILL

Following their custom of many
years standing. r. W. Minton q Co.
Hickory Mill, of Barbourville. pre-
sented each one of their 81 em-
ployees with Christmas turkey.
A feature of the occasion was two
very interesting turkey races, the
first giving a game young turkey u
100 #. handicap. and the second
giving a 800 IT, handicap. The tur-
keys gave the boys the chase of their
young lives, but they were finally
captured by Jason Mayes and Geo.
Barnes. who kept the turkeys as
prizes. After the races names were
drawn from a hat by the boys for
the choice of turkeys. the names
having been arranged into yearly
classes. according TO years of SER
vice with the company.
After the turkeys were all select
ed. the boys and turkeys climbed on
top OF the large hickory log pile in
the mill yard and several pictures
were taken of the group.
This company has a fine spirit of
good will and a splendid arganiza-
ton among their men, and they are
Justly proud of THE Hickory Mill
Boys"

OIL NEWS

c. l.. Bartlett. of Maysville is
registered at the Jones Hotel and
will remain to supervise develop
ment on Richland Creek.
1t is reported that a st. Louis oil
company. represented by Mr.. Will
liams, have shipped a rig to Stink
ing Creek and will begin operations
as soon as the rig arrives.
Great activity prevails in the leas-
ing of land in the Sinking Creek
section. On Sunday, Lee Jackson
left for Lexington to close UP a
deal for leases with some parties
Of that city
James j. Scanlon. principal geo.
logist of the Geologist Oil Company
with headquarters at Louisville, is
expected here shortly to make a To-
cation for an important test in the
Sinking Creek section. Mr.. Scan
Ion has made a careful test of the
structures In Sinking Creek and is
of the firm conviction that his peo-
pie will encounter a deep oil pool
there.
The Associated Producers spud-
ded in their No. well on Sinking
Creek Monday. They are starting
with ten inch hole and have made
all provision in the way of casing,
cordage and heavy tools to go to a
depth of $500 feet provided paying
sands are not reached before getting
to that depth. Thi5 company IS
also preparing to start well near
Oglo postoffice in Clay County line.
A favorable feature of the possibili-
ties of deep well in Knox County
is the fact that in Knott County,
northeast Of Knox County, a we'll
was completed last week where oil
was found in paying quantities at
a depth of over $500 feet. This
oil was found in the Pennsylvania
formation. 1t is a matter of great
Importance from the fact that this
is the first well in Eastern Kentucky
that has been found at that depth.
The bringing In OF this well will
undoubtedly encourage the develop.
ment in Perry. Leslie, Clay and
Knox. t,
