THE PARABLE OF THE TOWN
GIRL AND THE GRANNY
RATCHET
naL
Nv Alison Baker


Now a grannyhatchet is the Liz
ardus Rusticus' of science, or the
rusty lizard of the country lanes and
rail fences in the summer. In the
winter he which, being
interpreted, meaneth that he getteth
so cold that he cannot wiggle-but
in the season Of growing things he
may be seen in his glory, taking his
ease on the top of a stump or other
high place. His raiment is coat
of rusty scales and bad name; and
his meat consistent for the most par;
in gnats and small ffies, as one
learned writer hath it.
1t came to pass that a certain town
girl was sojourning in the country
with the family of her cousin, and
on the last day Of her sojourn she
walked with her cousin upon the
highway and in the woods. And be-
ing awearied with walking, the town
girl said, II pray thee, suffer me to
sit upon this log that may rest my
self and recover my strength, which
is spent, and sit thou with me-" And
the country girl answered and said.
NAY, let us not sit upon the log,
for ! fear me that a grannyhatchet
lurketh here" And the town girl
said. what is a grannyhatchet? 1t
soundeth like a smutty word" The
country girl answered her, saying,
"Grannyhatchet is not smut!
word, but a grannyhatchet is
Awful!!!." Then the town girl an
swered and said, IL fear him not.
Neither can abide the ignorance of
the country people. My soul abh0r'
reth their vulgar expressions" And
she sat upon the log. And as she
sat, grannyhatchet, even the Liz
ardus Rusticus Of science, stole
quietly into her coat, even between
the Innings, and abode there. And
he was half a cubit in length.
In the second hour of the night
it came to pass that the city girl
was aboard a Pullman sleeper, and
she was passenger. After that
she had looked around about her,
and had observed her companions, she
said. $50 to, they are not in my
sphere" And she called unto an
Ethiopian, even the porter, and put
money into his hand and said unto
him, IL pray thee, make up my berth,
l would fain sleep" And the Eth
opian did all that she had said.
Now there were nine Bolsheviks
with seventeen suitcases full of
bombs, and a million pounds of prop
uganda, and divers other high explo-
sives, and they snored variously
while they slumbered and slept in the

JACKSON COUNTY'S CAMPAIGN

This is banner week for jackson
county. Ten or twelve professional
men from outside the county besides
the county leaders are touring every
district in the interest of the County
Achievement Contest that is being
promoted by the Extension Depart
ment of Berea College and supported
by the Courier-Journal of Louisville.
Judge c. p. Moore, County Agent W.
X. Reynolds, Superintendent Creech
and a number of business men are
pushing the campaign.
Jackson county has two very i'm
portant projects that will mean more
to the county than anything that has
happened in its history if they are
carried to comprehensive contsruc
tion Of the highway from Mckee to
the Madison county line and the cree
tion of new courthouse. When d
road is once built thru the county
from Madison to Mckee and or
Manchester the whole face of the
country will be changed.
Not only are the people working
for a highway thru the county but
they are getting squarely behind al
ten of the major departments of tn,

DESTROY UNLAWFUL
WEEDS NOW

The season is here when It becomes
necessary for owners to cut OF other-
wise destroy the following noxious
and unlawful weeds which may oc-
cur on their properties: burdock, bull
thistle. Canada thistle, and wild NOR
ning-glory.
Burdock and bull thistles are bien-
malls and II prevented from forming
seeds for two years will be eradicated
One ieep cutting below the crown
about blooming time will kill these
weeds. n only shaved off at the sur
face OF the ground, they will soon
grow again.
Canada thistle and wild morning
glory are perennials which spread by
means Of underground running root
stalks as well as by seeds.
Canada thistle and wild morning
glory may be eradicated by keeping
the tops cut below the surface Of the
ground SO thoroughly that no green
leaves get a chance to develop, and
supply the roots with necessary foods.
II prevented from obtaining these
foods through the leaves, the roots
finally die.
Where they occur in small patches
along ditch banks, road sides and fem
CO rows, Canada thistle and Wild
morning glory may be eradicated by
thoroughly spraying with hot salt
brine or with sodium arsenite. one
quart to each square foot OF infest-
ed ground.
Property owners are requested to
prevent these noxious weeds from
forming seeds. Failure to do 20 places
the responsibility Of doing the work
upon the office of the County Crop
Pest Inspector who will then cause
the weed to be removed and the ex-
penses Thereof will be collected in the
same manner as are the general taxes
on the property concerned.
