The New Cloth

A woman entered a dry goods store,

"Of the cloth YOU advertise today,
It's as pretty as it can be-
The very latest thing in vogue,
The fashion notes all tell"
Said the clerk, while the woman n1ur-

The dress was kept with scrupulous
care,
AS only 4 woman may know,
But try as she would to keep it fine,
The wearing began to show;
The woman looked at the dainty dress
She had fashioned with loving care,
And l;ncW she had bought for style
and looks
And not the kind that would wear.
And so it is in our lives each day,
1t isn't our outer shells.
1t isn't our looks or what We say,
But-how do We wear,-that tells,

lin of Dorchester, Mass, a grandson
of John Achorn of this town. This
four yearold lad was a victim of the
atrocious murders committed by Jesse
Pomcroy, then only II years of age.
The item expresses the hope that
young Pomeroy should never again
have a moments liberty. A recent ar
ticlc in a Boston paper calls Pomeroy
New England's champion criminal
and mentions the fact that years Of
solitary confinement failed to change
! his criminal mind.

1t will be remembered that the
Knickerbocker Theatre, Wash
innton, D. c., collapsed a few
weeks ago, killing over a hun
dred people, After the accident
there was talk of the building
not being properly erected, bad
timber being put into it. and the
framing of the roof being inse-
cure. AS a result of this talk
nine men including the architect
have been indicted and their
bonds fixed at $1,000 each. If it
is established that in erecting
the building the work was slight
ed, the men at fault should be
punished. The swapping out of
a hundred lives is a great crime.

Our friends born and reared in
Adair county, who are now liv.
ing in other States should be on
our subscription list. They cer-
tainly want to hear, from their
old home county, as many of
them yet have relatives in Adair.
The only way to know Of the pro-
ceedings in this county is to take
the Adair County News. 1t will
tell of the deaths as they occur,
the serious cases of sickness, the
happy marriages and births, of
the important improvements and
the social events. If our friends
living out of the county, who are
not subscribers, would take the
News and by so doing, keep in
touch with the events of the
town and county they would be
better satisfied. The paper is
$3.50 a year. for those living in
Kentucky and $500 for persons
outside of the State, and we feel
sure that our friends, who live
at a distance, would conclude
that it was worth the price. Be-
sides giving the local news, we
give the current happenings over
the State. and the political news
as we see it,

will enter the race. Either of
them would be a winner, and we

one expected to enter the con-
test. Gen. Garnett and Judge
