REGISTRATION ORDINANCE

An Ordinance providing addition
al registration days for the City OF
Barbourville, Kentucky;
The Board of Council of the City
of Barbourville, Kentucky, do or
dain as follows:
WHEREAS, owing to the fact that
the Court of Appeals declared the
general registration law enacted by
the General Assembly at its 1922
session unconstitutional, a large
number of legal voters have labored
under the impression that registra-
tion of voters in this city is not re-
auisite to voting and because of that
impression, failed to register on the
first Tuesday in october.
1t is therefore hereby provided
and ordained that two additional
days be and are hereby provided for
registration within the City of Bar
bourville, viz: Friday and Saturday
October 18th and 14th. whereon all
persons who have failed to register
may be registered as voters in their
respective wards.
The Clerk of the Knox County
Court is hereby directed to furnish
to the officers of the election addi-
tional registration books for the
purpose of this registration, and to
give and cause to be given to each
of them notice of these additional
registration days.
Approved october 10, 1922.

To the Editor.- Fakes die hard
especially a fake which veracious
press is interested in keeping alive.
7 exposed the John Shell "the oldest
man in the world" fake, In the New
York Sun two years ago. showed
then through the census records,
that Shell was less than a 100. Ac-
cording to these records, which l
obtained through the courtesy OF
Hon. s. L. Rodgers, director of the
census Shells age in 1860 was given
at 81. In 1870 his age was 4S. In
1ss0,5s; in 1Ss0,67. In 1900 his
age was rs, his birthday being given
as May 1922. I visited him in Nov,
1918. At. that time / tried to verify
the age and saw hs Oldest son, his
great-grandson, his father-in-law,
who was his nearest neighbor and
knew him for more than fifty years,
his lawyer Of thirty years ago, an ex-
Judge who stopped at Shells house
in the early eighties, physician
who treated him the preceding win
ter. and the present circuit judge.
All agreed that Shell was about 100.
His son and grandson said he was
less than 100. The details OF the
scheme by which the exploiters OF
the old man made several thousand
dollars by exhibiting the senile de-
mentia as the oldest man living,
have no medical interest aside from
the production Of an obsession
thru suggestion. -Pineville Sun.

ADJUSTMENTS
Doris May a World of Fun When at
Work

Doris May, the skilful re Pictures
ingenue is SO full of youthful spirits
that she barely taps her remarka BILE
reserve energy during the eight or ten
hour studio day.
OF course, she's only eighteen but
that's hardly reason why she should
just be warming up to her work when
the rest of her company is fatigued
at the end of a hard day. When she
isn't doing stunts before the camera
her clowning is a delight but somes
times it reacts to the discomfort of
the members of her company.
Miss Mays current re production
THE Foolish Age" now being
screened at the Strand Theater, was
made in record time-due in some
degree to the young stars 'timc-sav-
ing stunts" as she calls them.
On one occasion she got possession
Of the watches of her cp-Workers and
set them back two hours. 1t was the
longest morning the May company
ever worked and when the players
became hungry every one consulted
the tardy watches.
Finally the scenes were finished
and Doris, sorry for her hungry com
pany, relented and told how she had
hoaXed them into working two hours
past lunch time. She was the only
one who saw the humor of the stu
3tion-AdV.

SUGGESTIONS TO SHOPPERS

Ludwig & Harlow's store at this
season is particularly attractive to
Christmas shoppers. Men and wom-
en-, as well as little folks, will make
no mistake shopping here. The ad
gives more particulars than a local
can.
The store of L. B. Slosberg may be
relied upon to supply fair share of
practical Christmas presents. The
reason is self evident when one reads
his ad or calls at the store.
The Maine Music Store was a busy
place when the scribe called on
Wednesday and made the suggestion
that the name of Busy Music Shop"
would be appropriate this Holiday
season. Don't delay in ordering your
musical instrument as there is a
possibility of the factory running
short.
The White Front Shoe Store has
been made specially attractive with
it's Christmas trimmings and so
artisticaily arranged. This is not
the main feature to draw shoppers
to this store. The big display of
lovely slippers for all the family
make beautiful showing Do see it.
