BOURBON FARM CONDITIONS

Bourbon county farmers have spent
a busy week, most of which was con-
sumed in cutting the tobacco crop.
Good weather prevailed throughout
the week, and the growers have been
having good success with the housing
of the tobacco crop.
By far the greater part Of the TO-
bacco is yet to be housed. but the
work is going forward rapidly, and
the good weather of the past week
has aided the weed greatly. If the
present spell of good weather con-
tinues tobacco knives will be buster
than ever. The tobacco is curing up
we'll.
The farmers have been very busy
with breaking land for fall seeding.
and the ground is said to be turning
over in fine shape A great deal of
land has been broken and the work
is going forward at nice rate. In
dications point to small wheat crop
this year.
The corn crop is maturing rapidly,
and the late corn is showing remark
able improvement, with good yield
expected. Cutting and shocking and
filling silos has been in progress for
several days.
Late garden truck and vegetables
are now on the local market in
abundance, and the many vegetables
are making up in a measure for the
shortage of fruit, occasioned by the
late frosts of last spring.

A Paris merchant who has been

in daily use for the average person
to spell, according to educators at
the University of Pennsylvania.
They say this has been determined
by the study of more than 1,40O, 900
spelling in eighty-four cities.
We are not informed as to whether
the hue and cry after the landlord
actually bore results in the intended
place, but we take note, with much
satisfaction, that, rather than pay
those exhorbitant rates, number

templating building, nice homes for
themselves and families.
The news that the tariff on i'm

ROOSEVELT - GREAT AMERICAN
Probably no man in modern history
left greater impress of has personalit!
upon the country in which he lived than
did Theodore Roosevelt, twenty-sixth
president Of the United States, who died
at his home in Oyster Bay, n. Y, on
January 8, 1919 in the sixty-frst year
of his life. The death of no other man
could have brought such universal
sense of personal loss, sense Of loss
which actual acquaintance served but
to deepen and intensity. This was not
because he had for seven and q half
years been president OF the United
States and throughout the major part of
his working life held public Office, but
because he had attained sueh high pro-
fieiency in so many fields of human ae
tivity. His character. the attachments of
his mind, the exalted Office which he
held. the work which he accomplished
all served to bring him TO the attention
of mankind. Knowing him, people loved
him, not for these things, but for GER
tain great qualities Of character ex-
pressed in his high sense of honor, his
burning hatred of injustice, his deep
sense of the obligation of personal serv-
ice and his intense love of his country.
In his death the nation lost the most
commanding, the most original, the most
interesting and the most brilliant per
sonality in American public life since
Lincoln.

A. secretary who served with the 367th
| infantry {eoiored-the Buffaloesl },
promised Mr.. Roosevelt that he would
keep him in toueh with the progress of
that regiment. Colonel Roosevelt was
particularly interested in this unit, first
because be was president of its welfare
organization. and secondly because some
OF the officers of the regiment, inelGd-

serving In the oath infantry when that

replied that he could not discriminate

The spirit of this letter provides a

held by the countless friends who never
met him in the flesh When certain
old lady heard Of Mr.. Rooseyelt's death,
she said: 81 do not see why Mr.. Roose-

The result is due to three causes

it is easy for Negroes from Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Tennessee to slip into

camp for the southern Negroes during
