place but now of Ashland, had died
suddenly Tuesday afternoon
The news that we received that Her.
bert was out in an utomobile-travel.
ing for the Ball-Warfield Drug Co, and
1t is said that DR.. ]. F. Smith found
him by the side of the road suffering
greatly. From the reports it seems
that he had been seized with a sudden
Illness and had driven his car out to
the side of the road and got out of the
ca. and was sitting down. DR.. Smith
lad him removed to a nearby house
and it is said he lived only about forty
minutes after being found. We did
not learn of the nature of his ailment
but heart trouble is the general opinion.
Herbert was splendid young man
clean in his habits and an energetic
business man, and the people of this
Ivicinity where he was reared will hear
of his death with much regret.

u. n R. y. A.
(By Mrs. Nancy Turner. ]

1t was Wednesday just at noOntide,-
And the sparkling raindrops fell,
When my fellow teachers Joined ME j,
On the porch ofsCole's Hotel. 4
The truck outside was waiting -.
To start us on the. way ~. ....,...t
To Whitesbnrg- little village
To the 'p. Ks:R, e. A. -. ; -
With a touch of lingering sadness
We bade our friends adieu
And started to old "Letcher"
To spend day or two.
You should have seen us later
In the coach of o.. K K
The Morgan county teachers
Upon their journeys way.
Just as the shades of evening
In beauteous splendor fell,
The train pulled into Jackson
Soon we found a good hotel.
Known as the "Hotel jefferson"
1WaS heaven tnere 10 Ut
The proprietors were Morgan folk
From old "West Liberty
We spent the night, but when the dawl
OF morning softly broke
At four o'clock we started on
With laughter and with Joke.
We Travelled on for seven hours,
With eager eyes we scanned
The scenery all along the way
The work of natures hand.
The swinging bridges here and there
The beauty of the hills,
Kentucky rivers gorgeous scene,
Our heat vi 1t .Tpturt thrills.
At 'leven o'clock the whistle blew
For Letcher's County Seat.
And though we wished to see the tow
We also wished to eat
When we had eaten dinner
We chose to wend our way
Up to the village school house -
To the L. X. II. r. A.
Here we were bidden welcome
When Professor Harris said:
I'VE welcome You to our mountain
grapes
And the mOOnshine-Overhead."
; The afternoon flew swiftly by
For Forester, Lewis and such
Gave talks that push the teachers on
} And helps them very much.
THAT night from out the midst ther
came
A stalwart healthy frame.
And when we learned George Colvin
Was the stalwart speakers name
Our hearts were filled with love an
pride,
For, it was none but he
Who leads the teachers mighty band.
/, on. on to victory.
He spoke of "little children
The hope of our dear land,
He spoke of them as jewels,
Moulded by the teachers hand.
He told how we could make them
Kentucky's pride and joy,
And urged us to deal gently
With each little girl and hog.
And when his speach was over,
We could but lisp prayer
OF thanks to God in Heaven
For sending Colvin there.
Next day from I'etcher county
We teachers all withdrew.
We were happy, though our pockC
Never held a single sou.
At length the trainman shouted,
For Jackson! To the rear!"
And soon we found the same old Goa
Was waiting for us there.
With merry peals of laughter
- Ringing all around,
We found seat and were content
: For we were "homeward bound"
u, And now around our heartnstone
We sing a merry lay,
To the dear old WhitcSburg village
", And the U. X. Il. r. 4.

NEARLY 5OO HAVE RESERVED FOR
 BlG CIVIC DINNER
Greater Phoenix Affair On Monday Night Will Be Biggest Ever Held Here {; Entertainment Lasts One And One-Half Hours

From an attendance standpoint the success of the Greater Phoenix din- ner is assured. In fact, al o'clock yesterday afternoon the avalanche of requests for reservations was totaled by the dinner committee and it was found that at that 44S reservations had been made. In order to accommodate the overflow. Miss Grace Tufts, of the domestic science department Of the city schools. has arranged to place addi- tional tables in the large hallway which parallels the auditorium, and some few additional dozens can be accommo- dated by this arrangement.
 The committee has issued a notice to all persons having telephoned in for reservations, or mailing cards request ing that plates be set aside for them that they must call for their tickets at the chamber of commerce not later than . o'clock this afternoon All persons who have made reservations are urged 10 be in their places by 6:30 D. rn.. and thus avoid the possibility of finding that they will have to eat in the hall way.

East Comes West, MT. Kipling--3O
 States Represented at Auto Camp

can be found at all times the tourist from the east. At the present there are more than 30 eastern states rep resented at the two camps. In this case, the definition of an eastern state embraces those states east of Arizona. Ohio is best represented at the Uni I versal Tours community. There are so many visitors from the Buckeye state now encamped at this place that they have segregated into a little col only bearing the name Beautiful Ohio.' Tourists from Michigan find a close second place in point of number | while Indiana. Missouri, Kansas, Tex as and Oklahoma are all well repre- 1 scented.
 | Arizona's attractive winter climate | has lured even the resident of Flori- da from the balmy cline of the south eastern coast. J. P. Kyle and family | from Jacksonville, Fla, are now en- munity and many others from the peninsula state have registered there 1 during the season.
 There are now 60 families at the | Universal Tours community and about | 40 families at the civic camp grounds. | The first is under private ownership
 and furnishes tents, water and electric lights, while the grounds furnished by
 the city are essentially for the tourist who carries full camping outfits. The completeness of some of these equip ments and the ingenious ideas for | travelling incorporated into a motor | car offer an interesting education in modern transportation.
 | c. B. Craig and family are tarrying
 at the city camp grounds while en route from Spearfish, South Dakota, to Los Angeles Their travelling arrange ments are distinct and original. 4
 Ford car has been transformed into a l a hi
 and dining car. From the exterior ii
 presents the appearance of a traveling
 cottage and brings up the question I How much will a Ford motor pull?'
 Inside everything is arranged for ease
 and convenience. Back of the drivers seat are two long, heavily upholstered | seats which are so arranged as to bear
 a striking resemblance to the smok-
 ing compartment of a Pullman. A
 double "berth'' rises above and behind
 these double seats. Plenty of space is
 provided for all the necessities of the
 road. When time permits, the cook
 ing is done in a small tent carried fol the purpose.
 Travelling with MT. Craig are hi. l wife, two small children and dog

 The start was made from Spearfisl

 made in Denver, Santa Fe and othel , places en route. MT. Craig is one O the committeeman who helped mak, practical the Custer Battlefield high

lage not later than 9:30 o'clock. For nal acceptances of all speakers, out-of town as well as local have been re- ceived, and the committee is antici- pating that the Greater Phoenix" din- ner will go down in the history of the city as the most pretentious banquet in the cause of a great city wide, uplift movement ever held locally up to this time.
 Reports received at campaign head quarters are to the effect that the ministers of the city will all colaborate in the observance of Civic Sunday to- morrow. Among early notices received were from Dr. Cecil M Aker, Centra' Methodist church and Rev. c. M. Roo%, Calvary Baptist church; also, Dr. V. Moreno, of the Mexican Presbyterian church. Dr. Moreno will deliver an address to his congregation on the duty of the Mexican citizens to Phoenix and the chamber of commerce.
 The members of the Phoenix Min isterial Alliance have endorsed the Civic Sunday idea and urge all min isters, regardless of whether they may be affiliated with the Alliance or not to do likewise. The general theme oi 1 Civic Sunday sermons will be along the l lines of civic righteousness, the church
 mans duty to the community, the re- | lationship between the community and | the church, etc
