Our Dairy Poem
THAT'S MY HOMER

When That's my home!" q man can
say,
1t means much more
Than statement OF a title, detail small
Apportioning possession OF a house
and lot, the lay
OF land, the record name IT bore
AS owner; for it means that man has
built wall
To stand against the storm and tide
OF shiftless, disaster; he is anchored
sure;
He can be found upon occasion; he
has pride
In his own work, in his own town;
secure
He is in loyalty, because OF that one
spot he owns,
To just the neighborhood about and
to the state;
The nations strength is set into the
stones
Supporting firm that cottage small or
mansion great;
Because this man can say and can ap-
preciate,
THAT is my home!" he comes to be
A citizen in deed and truth, a patriot
responsible and free!

Not all people believe in Clairvoy-

AS a child l was taught that heaven
was a city with golden streets! He'll
was a lake of fire. There was only
one true religion, only one true church.
All others were of Satan. Our church
our creed, led to the golden city; all
others to the lake.
For some people, all beliefs conflict
ing with their own, lead to the lake.
Others have an AK to grind and do
not want you to believe in them.
The fact that you have been helped
does not count with them.
THE DIFFERENCE
The ancient fortune teller would
predict poverty.
The Psychic Of today shows you your
chance of wealth. He Is constructive.

COMMENT
MISREPRESENTATION

Some things that transpire in our
local courts may be amusing tC syml
people but they are disgusting to
others.
There's one thing certain: The sew
eral small wrecks on the c. & o. at
this place recently cannot be blamed
either on the strike or the faulty work
manship of noYices.
Have you ever noticed that the
NIissus is just as proud of a new pan
in which to cook as she is Of q new
dress? If she isn't proud of her new
working tools, there's something
wrong.
The washington theater is extern
sively advertising a picture whose title
asks a question that no mere man has
nerve enough to attempt to answer
even if he has an opinion on the mat
ter in the back of his head. The pict-
ture is, whats Wrong With the
Women"
Remember the day when the season
for the meeting of the grand jury was
vacation season for some of our citi-
zens?
We understand that the mind reader
who visits Maysville has been telling
some of our folks the truth about
themselves. Persons more in love with
themselves than any one else should
no tflich at the truth wehn they seek
information on love affairs.
The Maysville High School basket
ball teams have made bad start OF
the season by losing both games. We
are started now though and what we
are now interested in is not the start
but the effort to play the game in such
a way that we will not make bad fin
ish.
Z
That Dayton, KY. youth who after
his leg had been severed from his
body. hoped to his home with his
torn limb displayed greater courage
than it takes to face an enemy's army
on a BATTLEFIELD. To be courageous
single-handed is real courage.
