BEAUTIFUL LIFE
COMES TO A CLOSE
Was One of the Most Beloved Women
Of This Community

The heads of all who knew her
were bowed in grief when the news
was received here of the death of
Mrs. Allie Chiffon Hamilton, wife of
Col. George G. Hamilton, which oc-
Cured at Memphis, Tenn, early on
Thursday morning. Mrs. Hamilton
has for some time been in declining
health; she passed through months
of physical frailty with calmness and
fortitude; her affliction was like the
metallurist's fire upon precious
stones; it revealed the beauty and
genuineness of her character.
Mrs. Hamilton was member Of
one of Tennessee's most prominent
families and was born at Memphis,
but since her marriage to Col. Ham,
ilton has resided in Mt. Sterling, The
loss of this lovely young woman
wrings many hearts today. Possessed
of beauty that was almost ethereal,
with a transcendental purity Of soul
showing in her true eyes, with a gra-
ciousness Of manner that instantly
won the spontaneous admiration of
all, no more universally beloved
woman ever lived in Mt. Sterling.
The warmth of her friendship was
an inspiration, so genuine was it,
and those who were blessed with its
gift will feel its loss all their lives,
Naturally talented, cultivated in
taste, charming in manner, gracious
! in every sense, and possessing the
widest information, Mrs. Hamilton
was one of the most attractive
women in the South. Her passing at
this time, in middle life, the central
figure in one of Kentucky's most
charming homes, from the counsel
and guidance of beautiful daugh-
ter, and from the companionship Of
her distinguished husband, touches
every heart and invites the sympathy
of the whole community. Mrs. Ham
ilton was the light and life of her
lovely home and those who knew hei
best loved her so that they are COM

Who will be the winner of the
handsome Ford Sedan offered as the
first grand prize?
Who will be the winners of the
other valuable priest
Will you be a winner That is
question every contestant must
answer for herself. If you are made
Of the right stuff you will make GER
tain that you will land prize. 1t is
certainly not worth while to enter
the home stretch with any other idea
than to breast the tape first. All
things come to those who hustle and
hustle every minute between now and
July 3Oth-the close of the big race
for fame and fortune.
I6-Days More-l6
Just sixteen days more of this
big prize competition. Not a long
time, to be sure, but just enough
TO defeat more than one candidate
unless some very strenuous efforts
are put forth between now and the
close. Every vote counts and as
many subscriptions as possible
should Returned in before July 30th.
1t is much better to have surplus
of votes than not quite enough.
The pursuit of subscriptions by
the energetic candidates must be
a steady one. You may not rise to
leadership in an hour, but you can
in the course of few days secure
enough votes to make the victory
yours if you will put forth your very
best efforts during the remaining
days. If you are a hustler it means
that during this time you can greatly
add to your credit and gain in the
competition. Go in and work as
though this was the last day Of the
contest. Everything that can be
done to help yourself should Re done.
Get the votes and in big numbers,
and then your candidacy becomes
that of a probable winner. Fail to
secure the votes and neglect the OPP
portunity of gaining a large num-
Der of them on subscriptions and the
answer is failure. No contestant who
has entered the race wishes to fail.
That feeling of an ability to go in
and outdistance your rivals should
give you the needed inspiration to
place your vote campaign where it
will sweep everything before it.
The only thing to do is to work
at the very top limit of ability from
now on. Strive for victory. Efforts
thus extended will bring the votes
that will ultimately result in victory
and the possession of rich and de-
sirable prize.

ting class, with horses like Northern
Boy, Bessie Montgomery, Donna Co.
chata, Peter Bean and the Georgia
mare, Agnes c., followed by a five
furlong running race, and the Mont
gomery County Derby, with Clerk,
Col Reese, Walter Fl. Pearce and
others among those that will face the
barrier. The only show ring on the
opening day will be that for the best
walking gelding, any age. There will
also be band concert and free acts.
A. road race for trotters that have
never been trained or raced, one
half mile heats, 2 best in 8, with
amateur drivers, will also be on the
card.
Thursday will be Pony Day, with
prizes for the best gentleman rider

also be a mule race and it is hoped
to have a fox chase as in the odlen
days.
There has been more interest taken
in the Floral Hall Exhibits than us
ual, and it is hoped to have a good
exhibit in the Hall.
Reports from the various tracks
state that there will be more good
thoroughbreds on the track this year
than ever known and these contests
will furnish excellent sport.
The Krause Greater Shows, con-
sidered one of the biggest and best
in the country, will furnish the
amusements for the Fair, and it is
likely that an aeroplane will give
some exhibition stunts each day
above the infield at the grounds, as
an aviator has stated to people here
that he would make flight from
Lexington and do these flights as an
advertisement.

ON The HOME STRETCH.
JUST is MORE DAYS OF
THE BIG Prize CAMPAIGN

vote offers very carefully and be
sure you fully understand it. Con-
testants and their friends should
also remember that the sooner they
turn in subscriptions the more votes
they will bring. Many Of your friends
may have told you to wait until the
last day for a larger vote offer, but
if you do, you will be greatly dis
appointed. As the campaign nears
the end the votes will decrease in
value.
The Club Vote Offer
The Club Vote Offer for the third
period is as follows:
Until 6 P. NJ, Monday, July 25th,
10000 Extra Votes will be given
free on each and every "Club Of SIS"
worth of new subscriptions turned
in for or my candidates. After July
25th, only 100000 votes will be given
free on each club.
Fifteen Prize Ballots will also be
given to the fifteen candidates who
turn in the greatest amount of both
old and new subscriptions during the
third period, which closes 6 P. NJ,
July 25th.
Triple Votes Until July 25th
Triple Votes-just three times the
regular schedule-will be given on
both old and new subscriptions
turned in before 6 P. M, July 25th.
After that date and hour only double
votes will be given on subscriptions.
The campaign closes July 30th.
Full closing information will be given
in a later issue.
If there is any mistake in the
count of an contestants votes up to
the present date it must he called to
the attention of the campaign man
ager before 10 A. M, Tuesday.
Otherwise, the standings as publish
ed today must be accepted as cor
rect.
Practically every candidate in the
race did good work in the second
period, which closed today, and now
they must get ready for the final
dash to the finish. Up to this time
it has been a neck and neck race,
with first one candidate ahead and
then another. The very closeness of
the race thus far makes it impos-
sible to even make a good guess as
to the winner of the automobile. But
the next sixteen days will tell the
tale, for it is the work from now on
that will decide the winners. Some
of the candidates may fall down on
the job while others will let nothing
discourage them, but will fight to the
finish-and WIN.

WASHINGTON VERSUS
VERSAILLES
fhY- N. RRocK.l

At the opening of the Versailles con-
ference following the armistice three
years ago, it was proposed by some
one, perhaps President Woodrow Will
son. that the meeting be opened with
prayer. The proposition was secuted,
the statement being made that there
was no time for prayer and that they
were not there to pray. The wiseacres
thought they could settle all the COM
plicated questions without divine aid.
They failed utterly and now. after
worrying their gigantic brains for
three years they, or others represent
ing them and the same nations come
to Washington and begin the great
conference with prayer. Mans oppor-
tunity has arrived Three years of fall
ure has sobered the hotheaded, and the
leaders are now looking to the COM
mon people WHO pray and believe that
God in heaven holds the destiny Of
men and Nations in His hands, to
pray for the success Of the conference
for the Limitation of ornaments. If
the conference succeeds it win mean
much because it will pave the way for
practical disarmament, so far as ma
tional warfare is concerned. OF course,
every nation will always need a suffi-
cient force to police its own internal
affairs. 1t seems that municipal and ma
tional police will always be a necessity
so long as evil exists. There is no rea-
son to expect that robbers, thieves and
murderers are going to be good if the
nations should disarm down to the last
old riot gun A limitation of arma-
ment to the minimum is about all we
can expect, and for this we are all
asked to pray and to labor.
