swimming has taken a great part in
our life. Our pool is one of the best
in the state: it is big, sanitary and
up-to-date in every way.

BROUGHTON's STORE BURNED

About 10 o'clock Saturday night
the store and dwelling of Tom
BrOughton. situated at the corner of
the Avenue and Depot Street, was
burned to the ground with all the
contents. It was a fierce fire, fortu-
nately burning from and not toward
the Bottling Works, which escaped
in consequence.
Mr.. Broughton had a good busi-
ness at this stand and had just laid
in an excellent stock of shoes. Some
$500 in money, which was in a
trunk was destroyed in spite of ef-
forts of Mr.. Broughton to get the
trunk out during which his hair was
singed by the flames. The fire boys
did good work but as the roof was
about ready to fall in before the fire
was discovered. they could do moth
ing to save the building.
Damage was probably between
$4,000 and $4,000 and insurance
around $1.4OO. Mr.. Broughton has
the sincere sympathy of his many
friends over this loss.
A big crowd from all parts Of the
city came to see the ire.

KwANrs ENJOY A GOOD TINE

Anumber of Barbourville citizens
and their wives went up to Middles-
boro Thursday evening to meet the
local Kiwanis and enjoy their hospi-
tality. The Barbourvillians were
met at the depot by Messrs. Russ
Hill, Hugh Allen, Shields Hodges
and C. A. Blackburn and were taken
for a spin over the city, the Kiwanis
pointing out places of public interest
among which are the new theatre.
which is a beautiful building and a
fine new hotel which would do credit
to a city much larger than Middles-
boro. In this connection 1t is of in
terest to note that. when the pro-
ject Jagged for lack of funds, the
Kiwanis stepped into the breach,
and thru an insurance feature heart
lily entered into by patriotic citi-
zens, raised the balance needed
which was 100000, within two
hours.
The Kiwanis also sponsored and
put thru the $150,000 school bond
issue for Bell County, the Pineville
Kiwanis standing shoulder to shoul-
der with their Middlesboro brothers.
An all time health drive was abso-
lutely successful, the work of the
Boy Scouts has been greatly boosted
especially along the line of sports.
and the Redpath Chautauqua was
guaranteed by the organization.
Following the ride and a visit to
the Boonway Inn, the visitors were
taken to the Methodist Church to be
generally introduced, and later all
sat down to a delicious dinner in
the Church Annex. From start to
finish fun and good humor prevailed
the Kiwanis stopping in the midst
of the meal to reel off some pleas
antry or to sing one of the Kiwanis
songs, song books being provided
for the occasion. After dinner a
mock trial was staged which caused
much amusement.
Judge B. B. Golden later deliver
ed a talk which the visitors unfor-
tunately missed having to leave for
home.
The warmth of hospitality dis
played by the Middlesboro Kiwanis
was delightful and will leave a par
ticularly bright spot in the men,
ories of those fortunate enough to
have enjoyed it,

OF DUTY DONE

Two weeks ago, a store was rob-

Three young men apparently we're
implicated. The father of one Of
these boys was the magistrate of the
district where the theft occurred.
Altho narrowed with sorrow and
grief, he put aside these natural
feelings, went to Cincinnati and ar
rested his own son, along with the
two others. In that father we hail
a man-one who puts his civic duty

AMERICAN-NOT GERMAN

II has come to the attention of w
F. Geyer, of the Model Bakery. that
a number of persons in Barbourville
are refusing to trade at the bakery
on the ground that Mr.. Geyer is a
German.
II is true that he was born in Ger
many, but he canc over here with
his parents forty-six years ago and
is full fiedged citizen of the United
States. During the war his son, Ed
ward, served honorably in the U S.
Navy, being honorably discla; ;sed
after the termination of nostiIities,
Mr.. Geyer is a good citizen and
when his father left Germany he
did SO with the idea that in the
United States he would find free
dom and tolerance. 1t Is certain
that Mr.. Geyer had nothing to do
with the actions of the Kaiser and
his war lords, and should not be
condemned for what they have done.
Our people believe in fair play
and will see the wrong done to Mr..
Geyer in refusing to trade with him
simply because he is of German
birth. Mrs. Geyer is of the same
blood as the people OF this section
and is a native born American.

have deposited more than one instalment we will
pay your family $1,000.
If you live the ten years we will pay you the $1,000
But you think suppose do not want to keep up the
account for that long Well, you can quit any time
and we will pay you all money you have deposited
and interest same, less the small premium paid to
the Insurance Company for your protection.
You think Suppose failed to make deposit when
DUE would lose what have saved? No. You can

your lost payments any time during the year
YOU CAN'T LOSE. Come in and let US explain

GOLF HARDEST LUCK


cisco, put on a contest for the hard
est luck golf story. The first prize
was won by Archie McDermid who
visited his sister, Mrs. Fred Burman,
in Barbourville about year ago and
met many of our people. The story
is reprinted as it may prove of in
terest to local golfers who often have
their own hard luck.
"A few years ago was stationed
on Midway Island. This is a small
island 1900 miles from Honolulu,
and a schooner brings supplies and
mail down once every three months
There we're fourteen white peo-
pie on the island and golf was our
chief diversion. We used to play un-
der difficulties, for the sand was
white and the balls had to be paint
ed red, so as to distinguish them
from the rest of the scenery. We
wore colored glasses to counteract
the glare from the white sand. Thru
out the course were numerous sand
knolls covered thickly with magnolia
scrubs. These made excellent bunk
ers and wrought many downfalls.
"One time between boats, when
we had a month to go before the ar
rival of the next one, we experienced
a golf ball famine" caused by lost
balls and balls being cut to pieces
by contact with sharp coral rocks.
81 had ball that was my last and
was nursing it as the apple of my
eye. One afternoon my chum and
were playing a tight match for the
usual and were even when We came
to a drive for the sixth hole. He
drove a nice one. but / sliced mine
bit and we watched it travel around
one dune and were sure it was in the
next one. We hunted in the dunes
for some time, but finally | gave up
the match and he went on alone to
quarters, as he was on duty.
Il was determined 1 would find
that ball, so settled down to honey
combing the dune. Finally, becom-
ing exasperated, started pulling up
the scrub and had the dune more
than half denuded before the coming
of darkness forced me to abandon
the search. l went back to quarters
very much depressed, for knew
there was not a ball to be bought,
begged, or stolen. They were too
zealously guarded.
"'And then he gave up golf,
But when the next boat came in
we unpacked the new balls and went
out to play round. When we drove
for the sixth l went up to gaze upon
my handiwork on the dune, and in
passing the first dune looked down
and there nestled the lost ball. plain
ly visible if looked at from the right
angle.
my chum and | would have taken
oath that the ball had gone behind
the first dune and could only put it
down to an optical illusion.
The tragedy of the lost ball was
very real at the time, and l shall
always remember the month spent
without golf on sand island"
