Death Claims Hazel
Green's Oldest Citizen

On Saturday the 10Th J. Taylor
Day, aged "a years, died from a
stroke Of paralysis at his late home
in Hazel Green. He was son Of
William Day, deceased, of Breathitt
county, and is survived by his wife
and three daughters, Mrs. R. J. Nc
Linn, Mrs. Lula Kash and Mrs. Jas.
I. Hollon, all of Hazel Green. Fifty
one years ago Mr.. Day was married
to Miss Roe Trimble, daughter of
the late J. G. Trimble, of this city,
and had been a merchant in Hazel
Green for so years.
Funeral services were conducted
today by Rev. J. T. McGarvey, as
sisted by Rev. B. w. Trimble, of this
city, after which he was buried with
Masonic honors in Hazel Green
Cemetery. Six weeks ago Mr.. Day
was paralyzed and his condition
gradually grew worse until the end
came. Rev. B. w. Trimble was with
him from January 25th until Feb
ruary 18th, and Robert Trimble, ST.,
was with him when his eyes were
closed in death. Mr. Day was a mem
Der of the Christian church and
many were the noble deeds of heart
and hand. He was a liberal contri-
butor to the Hazel Green Academy
when the buildings were constructed
and his pocket book was never clos
ed to its needs. He had been an ac-
tive and successful merchant, and
stood high as a citizen and as
neighbor.
The families Of J. Taylor Day,
who we have long known and most
highly respected, have our syrRpa-
thy in these times of sorrow and
distress.

Tobacco Barn
Destroyed by Fire

A tobacco barn of 10-acre capac-
ity on the place Of Charles Swift,
in the Wade's Mill neighborhood, was
destroyed by fire last week.
Reports from that section were to
the effect that the fire was believed
to he of incendiary origin, and that
bloodhounds would probably be sum-
moned in an effort to trail the guilty
parties.
The barn contained about seven
acres of tobacco, some hay and
farming implements. 1t was not
learned whether there was msur-
ance or not.

The tobacco barn on the farm of
Carroll Hamilton near Peeled Oak,
this county, burned and $50 barrels
of corn, 800 shocks of fodder, 3 1-2
acres of tobacco and lot of farm
implements were destroyed. The loss
was heavy with only small insur-
ance. The barn was rented by Upton
& Combs.

Rules That Tax Law
Is Constitutional

Judge Sampson, of the Court of
Appeals of Kentucky Friday held
that he whiskey tax of 80 cents a
gallon for the benefit of the road
fund was constitutional.
He held that it was not cumula-
tive, but payable when the whiskey is
withdrawn from bonded warehouses.
State officials estimate, if the higher
courts concur, Kentucky's state
road fund will be benefited to the
extent of $15,000,000.

Stones Give Way on
City School Building

Four large stones and part of the
cornice on the southeast end Of the
old building at the city schools gave
way this morning and crashed to the
earth three stories below. This was
caused by the extremely heavy snow
of the past few days. The stones
fell on the spot where the children Of
the primary grades form in line to
march in from recess and the acci-
dent occurred at about that time.
Owing to the fact that this is hol-
iday and there was no school today
many children's lives were probably
saved. 4 Il !

Below we reproduce an article
from the Shelbvville News announc-
ing the candidacy Of Capt. Fl. Ben
ton Kinsolving as candidate for
Commonwealth Attorney in that
district. Young Kinsolving is a ma
tive of Montgomery county and has
many friends here at his old home
who note with pride the rapid
strides he is making and the esteem
in which he is held in his adopted
home. The News article follows:
"Capt. Fl. B. Kinsolving, Jr., well
known attorney at the local bar and
one Of the most active young Demo-
Gratis in this section, authorizes the
News this morning to announce his
candidacy for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Commonwealth Attorney

son, Spencer, Henry, Oldham, Trim
BILE and Shelby. The primary will be

eountv offices are chosen.
"a native Kentuckian, Capt. Kin
solving was born and reared in
Montgomery county. He received his
education at Virginia Military Insti-
tute at Lexington, Va, and later
graduated from the Law Department
of Washington & Lee University in
the same city. He was admitted to
the practice Of law at the Montgom-
cry county bar in 1915. During the

ing the war Captain Kinsolving mar
RED one of Shelby county's daugh-
tiers and upon signing of the armis-
lice returned to this city and re-
sumed the practice of his profess
sion.
Captain Kinsolving has taken an
active interest in Democratic politics
and has displayed considerable abil-
ity as an organizer. In the Guberna-
torial campaign he served as chair
man Of the Shelby County Demo-
cratic Committee and carried the
county by largely increased ma
jority for the Democratic nominees
On tho face Of Republican land

'i,ig is assured of the solid support
of his home county right from the
start. That he will gather a large
following in the other counties Of the
district as soon as he has had an OPP
portunity to make canvass all who
know him agree. He is in the race
to the finish and the News has no

Buy Your Coal Direct
From Mine-Big Saving

- The high cost of coal is thing CT
the past! At least there are no
complaints on this account-since the
removal Of government restrictions
among those who have learned how
to buy coal. The way to buy coal is
to get it direct from the mines. This
saves several middlemen's profits. 1t
saves hauling expenses. Anyone can
now buy at mine prices, whether a
carload buyer or one who uses only
ten of fifteen tons a year. This has
been made possible through a plan
evolved by a large and old-establish-
ed concern, THE BERNICE COAL,
COMPANY. with main offices at 317
Como Building, Chicago.
This company has thousands OF
customers in various sections of the
United States who receive all of their
coal direct from the mines. These
customers are pleased not only be-
cause of the many dollars they save
every year, but also because OF the
quality of coal they are getting. Many
write that they never before had coal
that makes so little dust, that burns
so well, leaving 50 few ashes. If you
are coal user-whether you use
hard of soft coal, much or little
it will be greatly to your advant-
age to write the Bernice Coal Co. at
once for prices, stating kind and
quantity of coal you use. adv
