her forehead remained untroubled and
unlined. Only at her mouth and in her

What's the use?
Sure business is not good as it year two

germs has been ups and downs All nature has been ups

through the coming centuries.

Last Game Of Season

On next Friday night at Trimble
Hall the City High School basket
ball teams, boys and girls, meet the
Cynthiana High School teams. This
is the last game Of the season and
promises to be one Of the very best
games played on the local floor. Our
boys defeated the Cynthiana team at
Cynthiana by a small score, and our
girls were beaten by the Cynthiana
girls during the same evening. So,
according to the dope, our girls will
lose next Friday night and our boys
will win. But you can't always de-
pend upon the dope, and, in fact, we
understand that the Cynthiana boys
are confident of carrying away the
laurels at the next game. Our girls
are not saying anything, but we do
know that they are fully expecting
to turn the trick on the Cynthiana
girls when they come here next Fri
day evening. To say the least, both
games will be bitterly contested from

Attention, Farmers!

As president Of the Burley To-
bacco Growers Association of
Montgomery county, ! am calling a
meeting of the farmers of the coun-
ty at the Courthouse Saturday, Feb
ruary 26 at 2 o'clock p. M, for the
purpose of ascertaining how many
farmers, tenants included, would be
willing to reduce the acreage of to-
bacco fifty per cent for this year.
This meeting is called in accord
with the resolution passed at the
last meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Burley Tobacco Growers
Association Of Kentucky. SO far as
the association has been able to can
vass the sentiment Of the farmers on
the fifty per cent reduction of the
tobacco crop for this year it seems
quite unanimous.
One thing is evident, the farmers
will be forced to protect the tobacco
crop with an organization or quit
growing it. Let's get together!
Respectfully,
T. B. HILL.
