***Plain, pert, precise, pithypointers:

Our Gardens have all dried up,but our candidates haven’t.

The State Journal refers to thesuffragettes of Franklin Countyas “dimpled persuasive”. Don’tthat get you?

It don’t seem to make muchdifference whether the iron ishot or not with some laboringmen, they strike anyhow.

The way most people estimatethe sociability of their neighborin these days of autos, is by thenumber of times he takes themjoy riding.

About the only handsome thingyou can find about a drunkenman is his strawberry nose, andthat is spoiled because of itssurroundings.

In Wisconsin and Pennsylvania,you have to get a doctor’scertificate before you can getmarried as both of these stateshave passed eugenic marriagelaws.

Champ Clark very truthfullysays that our public schools willnot be good until the teachersare paid enough to maketeaching a life’s profession.

The railroads are opposed toextension of the parcel postbecause the express companiesare good customers and largeholders of their stocks.

If some of our wise legislators atWashington should amend thenewspaper law regardingstatements of ownerships, etc ofnewspapers and make it includea sworn statement as to wherethe editor got all of his editorialdope, we fear that many of thetribe would be compelled tomake some mor t i fy ingstatements.

***Bullitt County Fair Notes.

Now that the election is overand folks have time to devotetheir time and attention to thequiet pursuits of life, wenaturally turn to an annualevent that has placed BullittCounty on the map, The GreatBullitt County Fair. “It is goingto happen” this year and you, ofcourse, need recreation and youwant to see your friends, so itgoes without saying that youwill be amongst the thousandswho attend.

Several car loads of tiling havejust been placed through thegrounds, all the walks and roadsare now being graded and piked,so if it does happen to rain thisyear there can be no possiblechance of a “muddy reception”for our patrons.

Two years, this fair has had themisfortune to come during ara iny season, but no twithstanding that fact, allconcessionaires have paid morefor privileges this year than everbefore and the generalrefreshment privilege hasbrought over $100 more thanever before and if you happen tohear a fellow say “the fair boomis over”, he likely wants to buyyour stock.

The President, Dr. Ridgway, andthe vice-president, WilsonSummers, received sealed bidslast Monday upon policing thegrounds and awarded thecontract to Lee, Simmons andCo., so the public will beassured of the same high classorder that characterized the1912 meeting, which was soably conducted by Mr. J. F.Collings.

President Ridgway and vice-president Summers are meetingmost every day (since theelection) to decide plans formaking this the greatest fairever held by the association.

We are booking many horsesthis year among which are someof the fastest ever shown here,and with the addition of the fourspecial rings, the public may beassured of many interestingevents this year.

Many amusement concessionshave just been engaged, such asgames, shows, wheels,


Page 2

minstrels, a miniature railwayand a nice new merry-go-round,so when you see some of thosesplendid horse shows then getyour friend, visit some of theseamusements and you will atonce see that the midway hasnot been neglected.

Every police will be sworn in asa special detective under therecent “Chautauqua Act” andarrests will be made promptly.

Mr. Henry Hardaway will havecharge of the mens departmentsin the floral hall and Mrs. MaryCollings or her assistant willhave charge of all ladiesdepartments and all informationwill be cheerfully given by themupon the day of the fair andquestions should be submittedto them when entries are made.

***Home Garden ClubsGrowing.

Campfire Girls of Louisville usevacant lots. Advice from anexpert.

Children taught to help furnishtheir own tables with freshvegetables. Idea is spreading tocountry towns. Future men andwomen in close contact withgrowing things.

The continual cry, “Back to thesoil,” that is heard in thenewspapers and magazines iskeeping the attention of thepeople in the country as well asthose in the city fixed ongardening and farming. This isnot only true of the small town


Page 5

and the back country, but is alsotrue of our big cities, for homegarden clubs are growing inpopularity and in numbers eachseason.

This spring, the ci ty ofLouisville organized a homegarden club that gardeningamong men, women andchildren, and especially thechildren, might be pushed. Thatthe work might be real and thatdefinite results might beobtained, vacant lots weresecured at various points andmodel gardens planted. A manwho had practical experiencewas engaged to take charge ofthe work and is now busymoving from place to placesuggesting plans and methodsby which the children can helpfurnish their own tables withvegetables fresh from their owngardens.

The photo which accompaniesthis article was taken on theoutskirts of Louisville, where agroup of four Campfire Girlshave a model four plot garden.

This work will have a vitaleffect upon the men and womenof tomorrow by giving them anunderstanding and a growthwhich can only come throughclose contact with the soil andgrowing things. Education isgradually shifting to a rationaluse of books and a fuller use ofthe life which the child leads inthe garden, in the home andunder blue shies. It means an

education that makes red bloodthrob in young veins; it meansan education that does things inthe everyday world; it means aneducation that is close to theprimitive; it means an educationthat fits the child for life.

Stomach Trouble for FiveYears. Majority of friendsthought Mr. Hughes would die,but one helped him to recovery.


Page 6

Pomeroyton, Ky. – In interestingadvices from this place, Mr. A.J. Hughes writes as follows: Iwas down with stomach troubleso bad, at times, I thought Iwould surely die.

I tried different treatments, butthey did not seem to do me anygood.

I got so bad, I could not eat orsleep and all my friends exceptone, thought I would die. Headvised me to try Thedford’sBlack-Draught, and quit takingother medicines. I decided totake his advice, although I didnot have any confidence in it.

I now have been taking Black-Draught for three months, and ithas cured me – haven’t hadthose awful sick headachessince I began taking it.

I am so thankful for what Black-Draught has done for me.

Thedford’s Black-Draught hasbeen found a very valuablemedicine for derangements ofthe stomach and liver. It iscomposed of pure vegetableherbs, contains no dangerousingredients and acts gently, yetsurely; It can be freely used byyoung and old and should bekept in every family chest.

***Good Work of CanningClubs.

Girls and women taught to savevegetables, aided by thegovernment.

Experts furnished to giveinstruction in scientific canning

while Kentucky AgriculturalDepartment loans modernoutfits. Women are alsoshowing interest in the work.

The garden behind each andevery farmhouse produces eachsummer more vegetables thanthe family can use. When wintercomes, the farmer and hisfamily have to buy cannedtomatoes, peas, corn and beansat the cross roads store.

The Girls’ Canning Clubs thatthe United States Government isdeveloping to nine counties inKentucky this summer are partof a huge movement to checkthis huge loss in fine food andmoney that totals millionsannually. Besides the saving inmoney, there is another pointwhich is commonly overlooked.In canning vegetables that arehome grown, the housewife issure she has a first-class article.

That the work may be done inthe best possible manner, theUnited States Government isf u r n i s h i ng e x p e r t s todemonstrate this home canningwork. The State AgricultureDepartment is loaning each ofthe nine counties a homecanning outfit, and the countiesthemselves are furnishinginterested teachers, parents andwide-awake country girls toform the clubs.

In Jefferson County, clubs havebeen developed at ValleyStation. O’Bannons, andOkalona (sic) During the latter


Page 14

part of May, the governmente x p e r t g a v e t h r e edemonstrations. Of course, therewere no ripe tomatoes or beansin the country that early in theseason, so they were bought inthe city and taken to theschoolhouses where the clubswere to meet. Besides the girlswho were members of the clubs,many mothers and interestedhousekeepers came and broughttheir dinners so they might getthe benefit of all the work thatwas done.

After the first lot of tomatoeshad been put through the cannerby the expert in forty minutes,the girls were thoroughlyinterested and continued thework. It was remarkable howfast the work went with fivegirls as busy as beavers. As oneold farmer expressed it: “Everyyear I’ve been on my place, I’vemade up my mind to plant fewertomato vines, for I have moretomatoes than we can use andgive away. But I don’t believeI’ll cut them down in numberthis year if the girls can do thework this fast. I’ve just beenfiguring on it a little bit, and thislittle canner that’ll set on top ofa one-burner gasoline or coal oilstove will can sixteen quarts oftomatoes every three-quarters ofan hour. That is 208 quarts in aten hour day.”

“Yes,” remarked one of thehousekeepers, “and the greatbeauty of it is, with thetemperature you can get in one

of these canners, you can cananything and be sure of its beingperfectly sterile. You don’t haveto use anything with beans, forinstance, but a pinch of salt anda little water.”

“Well, it took a long time to getold mothers in this part of thecounty to use thermometers totest their cream before churning,and I reckon it’ll take some timeto get them to use moderncanners with thermometers sothey will be certain of results incanning.”

***Celebration in Louisville

Kentucky metropolis willcommemorate incidents in Warof 1812.

Hundred Years of Peace

Battles which Kentuckians wonand massacres in which theysuffered will be reproduced infireworks, and shams on landand water.

A week’s celebration, whichLouisvillians declare will be thegreatest and most spectacular inthe history of celebrations inAmerica, will be held in theKentucky metropolis for sevendays, commencing September29 and will be the climax of aseries of celebrations held in adozen l ake c i t ie s , t ocommemorate the sufferingsand victories of American armsin the War of 1812 as well as tofocus attention on theachievements of a century ofpeace. The crucial and decisiveengagements of the War of 1812was the battle of the Thames,fought and won on Canadian


Page 15

soil October 5, 1813. The seriesof celebrations, which will heldin America will close inLouisville, October 5, 1913, andjust one hundred years from thehour that Col. Richard M.Johnston, afterward VicePresident of the United States,slew the Indian chief,Tecumseh. President WoodrowWilson will probably beaddressing a crowd of 100,000people in Louisville, the homeof many of the troops whofought in the battle of theThames.

Kentucky was assigned theclosing and choice date of thecelebration because of thedistinguished part played by theKentuckians in the War of 1812.Kentucky began to play her partin the generation before the waropened, when she sent Gen.George Rogers Clark and otherLouisville soldiers into thehostile wilderness which theywrested from the French andIndians and out of which wasafterward carved the great Statesof Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,Wisconsin and Michigan.

Kentucky was the last statewhich could have benefittedfrom the war, inasmuch as itwas brought about chiefly by theBrit ish impressment ofAmerican seamen, none ofwhom were Kentuckians,whereas should war prevail, theunfriendly Indians on thefrontier of the border statescould be expected to commit

atrocities from the name “Darkand Bloody Ground.” However,it was chiefly Henry Clay, in theKentucky CongressionalDelegation, that forcedPresident Madison to declarethe second war with GreatBritain, and Kentucky furnishedforty per cent of her fightingpopulation to go into that war,and at the close of the war, ofthe listed dead more than eightyper cent were the names ofKentuckians. Kentucky troops,to a man, were massacred at theRiver Raisin and again at thefirst attack on Fort Meigs.

When the time came to manPerry’s new ?ewn ships, hes e l e c t e d K e n t u c k i a n sunaccustomed to the motion oflakes to mount into the insecurerigging and from that vantagepoint, with their practiced eyeand unerring aim, fired downupon the British and won theBattle of Lake Erie. Practicallyevery officer and soldier in thebattle of the Thames was aKentuckian, excepting aloneGen. William Henry Harrison,who, however, held hiscommission as Major-Generalfrom the Kentucky Legislature.The charge of the Forlorn Hope,about the briefest, most terribleand most heroic attack narratedin the annals of warfare,consisted exclusively ofKentucky soldiers whennineteen of them and theirtwenty horses went down tocertain death. It was the

Kentucky sharpshooters who arecredited with having won theBattle of New Orleans after thewar had in reality closed.

Kentucky proposes to reproducemost of these scenes of the Warof 1812 in the Louisvillecelebration. The Battle of theThames will be reproduced onland in Cherokee Park,topographically situated similarto the land on which was foughtthe Battle of the Thames, andevery detail of the sham battlewill be as nearly historicallycorrect as can be done.Louisville will take advantageof her magnificent river frontagein order to celebrate suitably theBattle of Lake Erie. The actualbattle will be depicted in agorgeous entertainment offireworks and all morning andall afternoon preceding theengagement there will be boatraces, life saving feats andaquatic sports. A historicalpageant, depicting variousscenes of the War of 1812 willalso include a magnificent floralparade, such as made Louisvillefamous a year ago, and willinclude civic and militaryparades many miles in length.Drills and exercises by 10,000costumed school children willbe held in the First RegimentArmory, a mammoth ----continued elsewhere ?????

A representative of this fair whoattended the Spencer CountyFair last week booked severalgood strings for this fair and inaddition, made arrangements forseveral side attractions,including a first-class band ofminstrels and an old plantationshow.

W. T. Lee, William Simmonsand James Pope, three verypublic spirited citizens and atpresent, directors in this fair arespending most of their time atthe fair grounds and with thehelp of Harve Miller, PortThompson and Dick ?Mattingly, they have made somesplendid improvements in thegrounds. In fact, it is worth theprice of admission to see theseimprovements.

The single judge system willagain be in the show ringswhich proved so popular withour patrons last year, when Col.

Kirby of Bowling Green,Kentucky, rushed along sorapidly with the various rings,no meddling, no quarreling, noprotests, no ??? for certainjudges, and no delays securingcompetent ones, but alldecisions were made as theyshould be in exact accord withone premium list.

C l a u d P e m b e r t o n , o fElizabethtown, and Col. Kirbyare now engaged as judges atvarious State Fairs throughoutthe South.

All judges appointed in theFloral Hall are requested to beon hand Tuesday morning,August 19th, and should come tothe Lower Secretary’s office andget their badges.

All police selected by LeeSimmons and Company, whohave been approved arerequested to appear beforeLindsay Ridgway, CountyClerk, Saturday, August 16th, tobe sworn in as special detectivesfor duty the coming week.

A nice new stand has just beencompleted on the grand standfor refreshments on thepromenade and ice cream,orangeade and refreshmentsmay be had without having togo below, and perhaps miss oneof those “big special speed ??rings” which has attractedconsiderable attention all overthe State.

In case the drouth continues allfarmers should attend the BullittCounty Fair anyway for certaina tmospher ic c ond i t ion sfavorable to rain have for anumber of years prevailed inthis county about the third weekin August, so come to the fairand after you have taken in allthe sights, then go up on the biggrand stand, take a seat by theside of Farmer Smith and “listento the patter of the rain on theroof.”

Mr. B. L. Bowman will havesome of his fine Lester Pianoson exhibition at the fair this yearand interested in buying a pianoor player should see him. Hisprices are right and his goodsare all the most exacting coulddemand.

Little Cooper, the incomparableshortstop played up to theCooper standard and that isenough. He was all over thefield gathering in all that camenear him, hitting like a wagner(sic) and running wild on thebases. The Barger boys, at firstand third, played up to thehandle, copping all kinds ofbounders, grounders, nailingwild throws and putting the ballon belated base runners. Atsecond, Tinnell did some fine


Page 30

work, taking care of some hotgrass-cutters and setting his menon several fine throws fromMasters, who did stellar workbehind the bat. Earl Hall is oneof the outer pasture fields, gotevery blessed ball that was sentout his way and Nahn, (sic) thesky-scraping, cloud-knockingcenter fielder, “took them in”and batted like the proverbialhouse afire.

The other outer-garden kid didhis part well for Frank Mathis issome fielder. All the boysplayed well and deserved to winand we hand them all kinds ofroses and congratulations. Therewas no rough work on eighterside and while our boys lost,they did well and need not feelat all ashamed of the game. Asm a t t e r s n o w s t a n d ,Shepherdsville has won onegame and Old Charter one.Shepherdsville won by a scoreof 25 to 6, while Old Charterwon by a score of 11 to 9. Totalscores for Shepherdsville 34, forOld Charter 17, or just half. So,it is not so bad after all.

The Old Charter boys madeFressor (sic) Sanders and hisboys take in their colorsSaturday afternoon. We don’tknow what their colors werebefore the game, but is was easyto see they were blue after thesmoke cleared away and theycounted the score, which was 11to 9 in Old Charter’s favor. Youcould easy tell from theFressor’s face that he and hisboys had lost the race. It wasnice for Old Charger boys towin the last game of the season,but they did not expect to pick itup so easy. They want to speakto Shepherdsville for their first

game next season so they canpractice up for Belmont for theirsecond game. Well, all I can sayfor the Shepherdsville Blues isthis. They had better get them agreen apply and play afterschool hours and probably theycan play by next season.

***Cattle Killed

18 head of cattle belonging toMr. Clem Manning and said tobe infected with the foot andmouth disease were killed lastFriday and buried in lime. Thekilling of those cattle may havebeen all right, but the wholeaffair is plastered over withsuspicious circumstances, and


Page 36

the conduct of J. W. Newmanwas over-bearing and tyrannical.

As before state, the cattle camefrom Chicago and werefollowed by federal inspectorsand located at Manning’s. Whenfound, only three were inflictedand they were separated fromthe others, but when Mr. J. W.Newman came out the followingday, he put them back with theothers and ordered the wholeherd killed. Mr. Manningoffered to have the threeinfected cattle killed at hisexpense and isolate the otherfifteen, but Mr. Newman wouldnot hear to it and when called upto by C. P. Bradbury, said,“They had to be killed if he hadto call out the militia, as if thelaw abiding people of Bullittwere out-laws.

We may not have the lordlymansions and fertile farmswhich make Mr. Newman’shome County so rich, but werespect and obey the law. Dr.Smith (our Dave), did all hecould to have the cattle keptisolated until they showed somesigns of having the disease, butMr. Newman would not hear toit.

Dr. Smith, federal inspector,says there would have been nodanger of spreading the diseaseif the cattle had been kept whereno other cattle could get nearthem and all offal had beendestroyed. When killed, elevenof the eighteen had the disease

and seven showed no signs of it.Since those cattle came backfrom the Stockyards, they hadgained in flesh and were eatingravenously up to the time theywere shot. The disease is notdeadly as only 3 per cent diefrom the effect of it.

In view of this fact and thefurther fact that the diseasecould not have spread if thecattle had been isolated, itseems to us that their killingw a s u n j u s t i f i a b l e a n dinexcusable. While Mr.Newman may have been underthe impression that he wasdoing his duty, there is apossibility that he was playingto the grandstands. It may bethat it is for the best, but it doesnot seem so to us. It ratherseems to us that an honest,hardworking old farmer hasbeen forced to lose about $400,which he may never get back.The federal government paysone half and if it gets the other,it will have to be appropriatedby the next legislature. Ourpeople feel outraged about thismatter and when given anopportunity at the polls nextyear, will not be slow aboutexpressing themselves.

***Statement of Dr. David H.Smith.

Shepherdsville, Nov. 18, 1914.

Hon J. W. Barrall, PioneerNews. Dear sir, In reply to yourrequest for definite news inregard to the Foot and Mouthsituation will say that thecondition of my eyes is suchthat I am prevented fromattending our delightful pictureshows, hence I am avoiding theLime light as much as possible.

I have been ordered to work byJudge Funk to inspect all cattlebrought into this county withinthe last sixty days according toRules of Live Stock ??anitaryBoard and when through to filea report with the county Court.Until such time I will havenothing to give out officially.

However, in my private affairsalways open for publicinspection, I will furnish thefollowing for the edification ofyour readers.

Day Book Entry, Nov. 14,Expenses - One Badge of Office- 50 cents. One rubber coat toattend killing - $3.50, to horsehire - $1.00, To order not todehorn cattle ?? - Total $10.00 -Due from Bullitt County $4.00 -Loss $6.00

Thus, it will seem that I am aheavier loser, in proportion inthe capital invested, than anyone connected with the cattlebusiness and consequently amdoing all in my power to clearup the situation and raise thequarantine. I wish to thank allour cattlemen for their heartycooperation and promptness inreporting their cattle and CountyJudge Funk and CountyAttorney Bradbury for their ableassistance in this, one of themost delicate and trying as wellas responsible positions any ofus were ever placed in.

Statistics show that 12 per centof the adults in Kentucky canneither read not write and theilliteracy commission is tryingvery hard to reduce this number,but parents and guardians, howabout the next generation?Won’t their condition be almostas bad if they are kept out ofschool? How many days hasyour child been out of schoolthis year? Ask your teacher, youwill be surprised when you seeher daily record book, and seehow your child has been robbed,not of money, but somethingmuch more valuable.

At least two great Americanmagazines have undertaken andhave almost proven that thePublic School system inAmerican is a failure and everyrural superintendent knows thatthe inefficiency is due entirelyto a lack of attendance and thatfor every $100 the state pays forpublic education, more thananother $100 is paid for theones not attending. There is onlyone solution, a strongcompulsory school law in 1916.

***Senator elect J. C. W.Beckham of Frankfort.

There is a large article ofpolitical nature and photos ofhim, his wife and his twochildren.

I am going to highlight only -mostly personal facts.

Senator elect, J. C. W.Beckham, of Frankfort, the firstsenator to be elected by thepeople for a regular term fromKentucky.

His wife was the former MissJean Fuqua, of Owensboro. Hisdaughter, Miss Eleanor isthirteen and his son, Creppa Jr isaged nine.

Beckham was born August 5,1869, the son of William N. andJulia Wickliffe Beckham. Hecome from a family that hasbeen prominent in affairs of theSouth. His mother was theyoungest daughter of GovernorCharles A. Wickliffe, who also

held the portfolio of postmastergeneral in the cabinet ofPresident Tyler. Her brother,Robert Wickliffe, was agovernor of the state ofLouisiana. She was, therefore,the daughter, the sister, and themother of men who held thefirst office within the gift of thepeople of their states.

His father, a lawyer and farmer,died when the subject was but amere boy. Owing to this, he gotno further than his sophomoreyear at old Central Universitywhen called home to managethe farm. He continued hisstudies, however, with the resultthat at nineteen, he was madeprincipal of the high school inhis home town.

He was admitted to the bar in1893.

The Nelson County man wasreturned to the lower house in1898.

Beckham filled out theunexpired term of Gov. Goebel.

Three weeks after the election,at the age of thirty-one years,the young governor was unitedin marriage to Miss Jean Fuquaof Owensboro. They occupiedthe state executive mansion forthe seven years following, hebeing re-elected in 1903 for afull term of four years.

One of the most notable featuresof the Beckham administrationof affairs in Kentucky was theenforcement of the Sunday laws

and the promotion oftemperance and regulation ofthe liquor traffic. Until he had aopportunity to appoint a mayorof Louisville, in 1907, saloonsran wide open on the Sabbath.With the appointment of RobertWorth Bingham as mayor, theyclosed and have so continuedever since.

Dr. Smith and Uncle Gib, goingto Jacob’s dance

I went up to Dr. Smith’sThere business to pursue,We went out doctoring horses,As we usually do.We had a call at Bedford Crenshaw’s,All cider being free,Just as we drank one bottle,There was another filled for me.We only doctored one horse,In place of four.We got so drunk at Bedford Crenshaw’s,We couldn’t see how to doctor anymore.We met with Jim McGlasson,All on the same day.He told us that nightWhere Bert Deacon was to play.After long and hard persuasion,At length, we did agree.To meet him that nightWhere Bert Deacon was to be.With the harness on my back,I went up to the barn.

I know Doc was a hot Beckhamman, but I did not know he wasso foolish about prohibition asto jump in a creek full of ice.After Nick Miller had fishedhim out, drained the water outof him, and filled him withgasoline, Doc opened his eyesand said, “Nick, how can I everrepay you?” “Well”, said Nick,“I have a calf that was oldenough to sell when they put thequarantine on. Now he is so bighe takes all the milk and five orsix of my babies are bout tostarve. You might get me apermit to sell this veal.” I don’tknow what Doc did about it, butwhen he pulled in that night, hewas a singing:

Some sects baptize with atablespoon full,

The drunkards emerse (sic)thrice

But I got H–l pelted out o’mewith great big chunks of ice.

I retched out my hand as Ifloated down and I grabbed awild grape vine.

If it hadn’t been for that, I’d bewith the angels,

A’singing “Auld Lang Sine(sic)”

I could head old Nick a’singingand this is what’s he say:

Doc, you don’t know whereyou’re going, but you’re on yourway.

So I sent a fervent prayer up andI sent it loud and keen

It was, Newsman: O Johndouble W, Can’t you raise thisquarantine.

her unmarried life was spentthere.

She was married to Herbert W.Lee, June 3rd, 1902, in the thenEpiscopal Church of Huber,Kentucky, the Rev. J. C.Rawlings, pastor of theShepherdsville M. E. Church,performing the ceremony. Soonafter her marriage, she became avictim of that ??? foe of ???,tuberculosis, and for the pasteight or more years, her deathhas been considered but a matterof time. Before her marriage,she became a member of theMethodist Church at BardstownJunction, and kept the faith untildeath ended her sufferings. OnTuesday, December 29th, herremains were brought to theM e t h o d i s t C h u r c h i nShepherdsville, where servicewere conducted by Rev.Thompson, who was her pastorat Bardstown Junction, whenshe became a member of thechurch. He was assisted by theRev. Mitchell of this place, andRev. B. Alfred Owen, of SanAntonio, Texas. Mr. Thompsonspoke feelingly of the beautifullife of the deceased, and thelove and fidelity which shedisplayed throughout herChristian life. Mr. Mitchell readthe scriptures and Mr. Owenoffered one of the mostbeautiful and touching prayersever heard here. The casket wascovered with beautiful floraldesigns and score of friends of

After the services, which werevery beautiful and touching, thebody was conveyed to Hebron,and laid to rest in the beautifullittle cemetery at that place, toawait the coming day whenthose who sleep in Jesus shallbe called to newness of life.

Throughout the long and painfulillness of Mrs. Lee, she wastenderly and lovingly cared forby the members of herhousehold. Her husband did allthat love could suggest orhuman could do to alleviate hersufferings. Throughout her yearsof pain and sorrow, he was asfaithful and loyal as man couldbe.

The life of Mrs. Lee wasbeautiful and inspiring. She keptthe faith and fought the fightand her soul enjoys the fruits ofa splendid victory. We extendour deepest sympathy to thegrief-stricken husband and theaged father, and faithful aunt.

May the great Creator, whorules the land and seas, andmarks the sparrow’s fall, givethem comfort and consolation.

***The Sage of Bullitt

The Jacobs Dance. Dad Jacobshas just called us over thegrapevine and informed us thatthe latest infusion from thetrenchant pen of the “Sage” ofBullitt, has been copied in theNorth Pole Refrigerator, anewsy sheet which was firstedited by Dr. Cook; the eminentpole discoverer, and which hassince been chiefly concerned inpromulgating the truth. DadJacobs, by the same wire, sentus considerable stuff concerningthe famous dance which UncleGib and Doc, attended at hishome. We Quote:

Doc Smith and Gibble Griffin,two bold, night-riding bloods;

To see some fancy dancing,came out into the woods.

They hunted out my shanty, andin their charming style;

Made friends of all the ladies,by the sweetness of their smile.

They had been to BlufordCrenshaw’s to doctor on a mule;

Their blood was thin as water,and the night was very cool.

So they took two quarts ofcider? Cider made by J. P. Dant;

The kind which makes youthink you can, When, in truth,you can’t.

And they drank that old corncider, with enthusiastic haste;


Page 68

For fear, as Uncle Gilbert said,The stuff might go to waste.

They emptied those two quartbottles, while dancing jigs andreels;

And it put a lot of ginger inUncle Gilbert’s heels.

He danced the double shufflewith agility and grace;

And challenged fiddler Deaconto run a mile foot race.

He kicked the eight foot ceilinglike a youth of twenty-eight;

But could not dance the Tangofor his feet were out of date.

When he struck the hesitation,he did not hesitate;

He tried the good old bunnybug,But his feet were out of date.

He was long on smiles andstories, He’d a world of winningmirth;

But he could not wig the wiggle,He’d stayed too long on earth.

He ate a dozen pickles, andswamped the cake and wine;

He drank a quart of coffee, andpronounced it very fine.

But when they chose theirpartners for the hesitationgrouch;

That wine took Uncle Gilbert,and laid him on a couch.

At last Doc got him loaded intotheir limousine;

The wind was rising slowly, andthe midnight air was keen.

But they struck the Old Lickturnpike, and scattered mire andmud;

For Old Jack Frost was coming,And the booze was in theirblood.

When they passed out by thegraveyard, and saw a bunch ofhau’ts;

Gilbert asked if they were goingto the Daddy Jacobs dance.

As last Doc got him home inbed, and left him wrapped inslumber;

He had taken Crenshaw’s cider,but it turned and got his number.

Signed, Dad Jacobs

Day before yesterday a perfectlynice lady called us up and withtears in her voice, reproved usfor not mentioning the fact thatshe had a friend visiting her lastweek. We told her that she hadnot let us know anything aboutit and that, therefore, we did notknown she had a visitor. Thenshe said, “Well, you shouldhave know. I thought you wererunning a newspaper.” Wouldn’tthat rattle your slats? Somepeople think that an editor oughtto be a cross between Argus andAnna Eva Fay. They seem tothink that our five senses areargumented (sic) by a sixth thatlets us know everything thathappens, even if we see, hear,feel, taste or smell it not. Dearlady, editors are only human orat least, almost human. If youhave a friend visiting you, if youare going away, or have returnedfrom a visit out of town, ifJohnie falls and breaks his arm,if your husband chops his toeinstead of a stick of wood, oranything happens that makes

***Educational Jottings

The Common School diplomaexamination will be held at thecourt house Friday andSaturday, January 29th and 30th,1915 and the followingquestions on National and StateGovernment should be studiedby all who expect to take theexamination.

***The Number of CountySchool Children.

We are in receipt of the totalnumber of boys and girls whoare between the ages of 6 and 20years, the time specified by thelaw in Bullitt County.

The county has 3,956 betweenthe ages and 1,782, or 60 per

cent of them that attend school,according to a recent censusbulletin. The date contained inthe report relates to the year of1910, and has only recently beenmade public. The distribution,by age groups and the numberattending school is as follows:

Age Total Attendance

6-9 905 507

10-14 1032 847

15-17 527 268

18-20 466 90

These figures, although are forfour years ago, yet show a goodattendance. It is only fair topresume the number of scholarseligible and those attendinghave ??? increased.

The schools of the county havehad excellent teachers for quitea long time, and one presentSuperintendent is a most earnestand energetic worker.

***Clermont

Clermont, Misses Cecil Funkand Ethel Jenkins, teachers.Now we find a rural schoolwhich has grown to a two roomschool necessitating the serviceof two teachers with 128 in thedistrict, 95 enrolled, 2 acres oflevel playground and ane x cel l en t modern newschoolhouse, fairly wellequipped, plenty of interestamong the pupils, patrons, andteachers and probably more real“improvements” recently made

than to any other rural school inthe County.

***Mt. Washington School,Mrs. Doris Harris ???, MissToyne Harris, Miss CorrieneColeman with Prof. J. H.Strickler, music ? teacher. Herewe find one of the few schoolsin the State that have as manyteachers and yet not anindependent graded School, butthe third and fourth teachers arepa id wholl y by localcontributions. With 129 in thecensus, we find 112 enrolled,good teachers, and advancedpupils but a poor house, smallplay grounds, no water and notenough rooms, but a growingsentiment among the people thatwill surely show improvementssoon and in a short time, wehope to see an excellent schoolin this splendid little town.

***No Foot and Mouth Diseasein County

Doubts as to whether diseaseever existed in confines of thecounty.

Fair statement of facts.

The opinion is almostunanimous in this section thatthere was no foot and mouthdisease in Bullitt County; thatthe so called federal experts didnot know anything about thedisease, and that ClemManning’s cattle should nothave been killed.

The United States AgriculturalDepartment in its “Report on


Page 74

Cattle” submitted by the chief ofthe “Bureau of Animal Industry”gives the following as thesymptoms of the Foot andMouth disease: Symptoms: Inthree to six days after exposureof the animal to the infection,the disease makes it appearance.It is first indicated by the animalsuffering from a severe chill,quickly followed by an invasionof fever, which may cause thetemperature to rise as high as106 F. As soon as the diseasehas become (line missing)???ces pain, when attempting toeat, in fact, the appetite is sooften seriously affected that allfood is refused.”

Of course, many othersymptoms are given, but theyhave nothing to do with thepurposes of this article. Thecattle killed on the farm of ClemManning, (14 of them) werepurchased at the BourbonStockyards, on the 28th day ofSeptember, and the disease didnot develop until about the firstweek in November. A fullmonth and more had passedsince the cattle left the yards andsix weeks had elapsed sincethey were exposed to the allegeddisease in the Chicago yards.The men who know just whatthey are talking about say thatonly six days – three to six – arerequired to find unmistakableevidence of the disease and herewe find a lot so called federalexperts who find it after thelapse of six weeks.

Another thing which knockstheir ipse dixits into a cocked??? is the fact that within a shortwhile after becoming infectedwith the disease, the cattlecannot eat and begin to loseflesh.

The cattle on the Manning farmhad gained from 75 to 150pounds to the animal, and whendriven up to be slaughtered,were eating as peacefully andhungrily as any other well cattle.There were in the herd, 14 cattlewhich came from the Bourbonyards and 4 which were raisedin the County. Three of theforeign cattle, on the 8th or 10th

of November, showed a fewsmall sores in their mouths suchas is caused by briers and brittleweeks, etc.

The native cattle showed nosores or pimples in theirmouths. Why were the Manningcattle killed?

In Hardin County, two or threeherds were condemned to bekilled as were the Manningcattle, but an investigation by aman who knew his business,established the fact that they didnot have the disease and theywere not killed.

It was Mr. Newman’s duty toknow that these cattle had thedisease before permitting themto be killed. He should have hadthem isolated and kept themuntil there was no doubt. Privateproperty cannot be destroyedjust because some alleged expert

says so, lest it should not be. Inour opinion, somebody hasblundered, and we should like toknow who that somebody is.

It may be that the fault of theNational government, or theState government, or of both,but it lies at somebody’s door,and the people of Bullitt aregoing to hit the first man whogives them a show, if they thinkhe had a hand in the uncalled forkilling of Clem Manning’scattle.

***Reid Rared, Roared andRepented.

Employee of Newman’s lets histemple loose to the merry tuneof $120.00. Was in a terriblewrath.

Last Monday afternoon, thepassengers, male passengers, ifyou please, who rode in theSmoker on the Bardstownaccommodation, were treated toa series of contradictory thrillswhich could not be equaledoutside a mad house or wildwest show. Riding in theaforesaid accommodation on theday and date aforesaid, was ayoung man by the name ofReed, or Reid, who is an animaldoctoring Veterinarian, andwhose temper arises muchhigher than it’s possessor canhope to climb.

Mr. Reed, or Reid, works forMr. J. W. Newman, the affableand handsome cattle killingCommissioner of Agriculture,


Page 75

who is now running for theDemocratic nomination forGovernor of Kentucky. On theaforesaid Monday evening, thetrain steamed out of UnionStation in fine shape. All thepassengers had seats, all weresobe r and happy andhomebound. Not a cloud marredthe beauty of the clear sky andthe distant horizon showed noevidence of the coming storm.

Preliminary to what is to follow,it might be mentioned that Mr.Reed or Reid is an ardentsupporter of Mr. Newman, inhis laudable efforts to land thenomination for Governor.

Somewhere this side ofHighland Park, some of thepassengers in the said smokerasked a fellow passenger if heintended to vote for Newmanand the reply which was in thenegative, was fringed withBillingsgate and other hot stuff.

Then in the language of thesong, he (Mr. Reed or Reid),arose. He turned loose upon thepassenger who had beendiscussing Mr. Newman, a floodof high flown cuss words. Withall the rare skill and ability of anaviator, he soared aloft. Healternated from the seat to thehard pedal.

All the while, cuss words wererolling out of his handsomeyoung mouth as mad bees rollout of a hive. He reared highand pitched forward; he put overa high inshoot, and followed it

up with a slow one which cutthe outside corner of the plate,so to speak. He cussed like allthe past and present professorsof profanity, and out-cussedthem all. Walking up and downthe aisle of the car, he turnedloose a regular Niagara Falls ofself evolving, combustiblescorchers that shook the train.He coined whole sentences andgilded them with artistic wordsof brimstone.

In the language of JamesWhitcomb Riley, he cussed andcussed and cussed and as the old“Bardsey” swept gallantly downthe long line of steel rails, hisability to turn out new cusswords increased. Striking lowdo, he cussed right up the scaleand after reaching high c,proceeded to descend with thegracefulness of a mocking birdas it soars aloft and gracefullydescends while it floods theevening air with sweetmelodies. Everything ends buteternity and Mr. Reed or Reid,was gradually closing hisperformance and did not knowit. Somewhere this side ofBrooks, Curran Troutwine andJim Croan and several others,took the young man into custodyand when the train reached thisplace, put him in jail. Thatevening, he pleaded guilty to acharge of breaking the peace,and was assessed one hundreddollars and trimmings, and onthe following morning entrainedfor Nelson County, fully

convinced that the high cost ofcussing is keeping him broke. Itmust be said that he wasabsolutely devoid of fear, andfurther and farther that he neverdid at any time seem to be shortof cuss words. He was dulysober, but had heard Newmanabused so much that he wasmad.

***Nations Labor Problem

Over a million and a halfwomen work as farm hands inthe United States. By PeterRadford, Lecturing NationalFarms Union.

Our government never faced sotremendous a problem as thatnow lying dormant at the doorsof congress and the legislatures,and which, when aroused, willshake this nation from center tocircumference, and makecivilization hide its face inshame. That problem is –women in the field.

The last federal census reportsshow we now have 1,514,000women working in the field,most of them south of theMason and Dixon line. Therewere approximately a millionnegro slaves working in thefields when liberated by the

emancipation proclamation. Wehave freed our slaves and ourwomen have taken their placesin bondage. We have broken theshackles off the negroes andwelded them upon ourdaughters.

The Chain Gang of Civilization.

A million women in bondage inthe southern fields form thechain-gang of civilization – theindustrial tragedy of the age.There is no overseer quite socruel as that of unrestrainedgreed, no whip that stings likethe lash of suborned destiny,and no auctioneer’s block sorevolting as that of organizedavarice.

The president of the UnitedStates was recently lauded bythe press, and very properly so,for suggesting mediationbetween the engineers andrailroad managers in adjustingtheir schedule of time and pay.The engineers threatened tostrike if their wages were notincreased from approximatelyten to eleven dollars per day andservice reduced from ten toeight hours and a similar re-adjustment of the overtimeschedule. Our women areworking in the field, many ofthem barefooted, for less than50 cents per day, and theirschedule is the rising sun andthe evening star, and after theday’s work is over, they milkthe cows, slop the hogs and rockthe baby to sleep. Is anyone


Page 77

mediating over their problemsand to whom shall they threatena strike?

C o n gre s s has l i s t enedapprovingly to those who toll atthe forge and behind thecounter, and many of ourstatesmen have smiled at thethreats and have fanned theflame of unrest among ind???laborers. But women are ...........industrial warfare as they are theburden-bearers in the warbetween nations, and those whoarbitrate and mediate thedifferences between capital andlabor should not forget thatwhen the expenses of anyindustry are unnecessarilyincreased, society foots the billby drafting a new consignmentof women from the home to thefield.

No financial award can be madewithout someone footing thebill, and we commend to thosewho accept the responsibility ofthe distribution of industrialjustice, the still small voice ofthe women in the field as shepleads for mercy, and we begthat they pinch no crumb fromher crust of bread or put anotherpatch upon her ragged garments.

We beg that they listen to thescream of horror from the eagleon every American dollar that iswrung from the brow of toilingwomen and hear the Goddess ofJustice hiss at a verdict thatincreases the want of woman tosatisfy the greed of man.

The women behind the counterand in the factory cry aloud forsympathy and the press thundersout in their defense and thepulpit pleads for mercy, but howabout the woman in the field?Will not these powerfulexponents of human rights turntheir talent, energies andinfluence to her relief? Will theGoddess of Liberty enthroned atWashington hold the callousedhand and soothe the feverishbrow of her sex who sows andreaps the nation’s harvest or willshe permit the male of thespecies to shove women – weakand weary – from the bread-lineof industry to the back alleys ofpoverty.

The census enumerators tell usthat of the 1,514,000 womenwho work in the fields as farmhands, 409,000 are sixteen yearsof age and under. What is thefinal destiny of a nation whosefuture mothers spend theirgirlhood days behind the plow,pitching hay and haulingmanure, and what is to becomeof womanly culture andrefinement that graces the home,charm society and enthuse manto leap to glory in nobleachievements if our daughtersare raised in the society of theox and the companionship of theplow?

In that strata between the agesof sixteen and forty-five are950,000 women working asfarm hands and many of themare suckling babes tugging at

their breasts, as drenched inperspiration, they wield thescythe.

***Cattle Shortage

January 1st, 1907, there were51,000,000 cattle in the UnitedStates, with a valuation of morethan $881,000,000 while inJanuary 1914, there were only38,000,000 cattle with avaluation of $1,116,000,000,which looks pretty bad for aseven year period. In 1914, theaverage price per head was morethan twenty-nine dollars, asagainst seventeen dollars in1908. And in that time, thepopulation of the country hasincreased many millions, whilethe number of cattle haddecreased sixteen millions. Thewholesale killing of calves forveal purpose is largelyresponsible for this state ofaffairs, while the movement ofthe rural population to the citieshas helped, and the high price offarm labor and the settling ofemigrants and others on thepublic lands of the West may be

thrown in as contributingcauses. The plain fact is, wehave too many consumers forour producers. About one thirdof our population is on the farm,while the other two thirds are inthe towns and cities consumingthe product of the one third.

If we can stop the slaughter ofcalves , bu i ld and usejudiciously, more silos, keep ourboys on the farm and inducethousands who have left there togo back, we can check the rapiddecrease in cattle and actuallyincrease the number.

No wonder cattle are high, andno wonder beef is high whenthere has such a rapid andalarming falling off in then u m b e r o f c a t t l e . Acorresponding decrease fortwenty-one years would almostwipe out our cattle.

***Cattle Killed

Virulent Foot and MouthDisease Discovered in Herds ofCattle Sold into This County.

Twenty-two cattle and five hogswere destroyed on the Wathenfarm at Bardstown JunctionTuesday. Mr. Wathen bought 18of these cattle without seeingthem, from a dealer whorepresented them to be soundand as not having been in theBourbon yards since November.Upon discovering theircondition, he gave theauthorities all the assistancepossible towards destroyingthem as quickly as possible.Four cattle and five hogsbelonging to Jake Lanyer werealso destroyed, all havingbecome infected in the shortspace of five days. Twenty-twohead of cattle belonging to LemSwearingen, which were drivenout with the Wathen cattle werefound to be infected Sunday bythe County officers. These, withfour hogs which have alsodeveloped the disease, will bedestroyed as soon as the trenchcan be dug. This outbreak is insuch a contagious form that itwill take vigorous measures tocheck its spread. It now appearsthat a regular Foot and MouthIncubating plant has beenrunning overtime in the sameneighborhood where horses

were a short time ago beingslaughtered for human food andalso under the noses of theGovernment and S ta t eInspectors, who have searchedin vain to locate the trouble inthe yards. The method employedby these unscrupulous dealerswas to purchase cattle at theyards in the name of somebutcher or packer representingthat they were for immediateslaughter, drive them to someout of the way pen whereinspection lurked and themresell them to farmers.

Dr. Johnson, assisted by A. B.Smith, Government Inspectorsand Dr. E. S. Garr, AssistantState Veterinarian and CountyInspector David Smith are hardat work in the county and JudgeFunk is giving all neededassistance. There is no way toestimate to what extent thisepidemic has spread and it willbe necessary for all our peopleto co-operate heartily with theinspectors if we expect to comeout clear in sixty days. Anyattempt to “hide out” stuff willonly add to prolonging theagony as the officers have a listof all cattle brought into thiscounty in the last thirty days andthey will be eventually found.“Why not now?”

***Quarantine

Notice, Law Must Be Upheld.

Bullitt County was again placedunder Federal Quarantine on thenight of Feb. 15.

This is due to 40 head of cattlewhich were driven in Feb. 9th.Eighteen of these on the farm ofRichard Wathen have probablyhad the Foot and Mouth Diseasefor a month. Evidently the 22 ofLem Swearingen have becomeinfected by being driven outwith the Wathen herd, but allthe 40 show the disease plainly.How long the quarantine willlast will depend upon how soonwe are able to show that we arefree of the disease. Judge Funkhas appointed a special officerto guard the infected territoryand issued orders that all dogsbe put up or killed. No one needhave any fear that their cattlewill be killed unless they havegenuine Foot and Mouth diseaseand any having knowledge ofcattle coming into theirneighborhood within the lastmonth are requested to report tothe County Live Stock Inspectorat once. The authorities have alist of all these cattle and anyoneattempting to conceal them willbe prosecuted under the law.

***Ben Johnson

Savoyard in Louisville Post.

Washington DC Jan 3

I wish I had the industry to“cram” for a letter. Somemonths ago, I saw Ben Johnson,of Kentucky, and he told me aheap of things about the Districtof Columbia, a part of politicaland geographical American inwhich all our people have moreor less interest, patriotically andpecuniarily. Mr. Johnson loadedme down with documents whichI intended to read and try todigest. They are on my desknow unread, but I reckon I knowenough of what they contain towrite a reasonable intelligentpaper about them so here goes.

This here town thinks it hasexhausted eulogy when it saysof a member or Senator, “He isa friend of the District.” To be afriend of the District, it wasnecessary to fetch and carry forcertain rich men the city ofWashington, who composed asgreedy a ring as ever cursedCincinnati or other like towns.For years, the national capitalhas been run in the interest ofthese gentry. Perhaps in theentire Union there could not befound a town whose publicservice corporations had drankmore water. Indeed, thestatement is made that a certain

street railroad corporation iscapitalized at nearly a milliondollars a mile. There never wasbefore anywhere in our landsuch a saturation of high tonedcorrupt ion as a f f l ic tedWashington DC the ten yearsbefore Ben Johnson got to bechairman of the Committee ofthe House of Representatives.

In the rich northwest sectionwhere dwell the rich tax dodgersfrom the States, the assessmentof real property was ridiculouslylow. In the other and poorersections, the assessment wasoppressively high. For instance,a certain estate, containing somethirty acres, was assessed at asum that would not pay half thecost of a fence that enclosed it,whereas in the northeast, wherepoor folk live, the assessment ofreal estate was pretty nearly thepar value of the property.

Anacostia, a suburb, had holesin densely populated streets thatwould hide a salt barrel. Acertain millionaire bought awoods in the northwest and asycophantic district commissionbuilt street through it – allvacant lots – that Fifth Avenuewould not have been ashamedof, as rank a piece of high tonedgraft as your mind evercontemplated. All the rightswere for the rich. All the dutieswere imposed on the poor. Readthe correspondence between theeditor of the organ of theWashington Gas LightCompany and Ben Johnson’s


Page 93

predecessor as chairman of theDistrict Committee.

Nobody will ever a write such aletter as that to Ben Johnson.When he became a member ofthe District Committee, Johnsonset about a study of districtaffairs. A very able lawyer, athoroughly honest man, abusiness man and a man ofaffairs, Ben Johnson refused tobe cajoled by the pundits in thepay of the grafters, and theysoon discovered to the publicthat he could not be intimidatedby them.

And then they began a warfareon him. The Board of Tradesought to rebuke him. Theypress heaped abuse on him. Hewas denounced in all sorts ofways, and for what? He saw thatthe town was run for a corruptclass and he determined to smitethat class. He has done it prettyeffectively.

The assessment of real estate,not yet as honest as it should beby a long shot, is much lessdishonest than it was. Johnsongot to looking into the “organicact” of 1878 and discovered thatthis town was to be governed bya commission of “resident”, butthat half the expenses was paidout of the national treasury, andhe assailed that condition, andthen the floodgates of wrathwere opened. He paid smallheed to the vilification of thelocal press and the denunciation

of “business association.” Hewent his way.

He went ahead. Twice or thrice,he has passed through theHouse, of which he is amember, a repeal of the “half-and-half” plan of the organicact. The Senate is the last ditchof privilege and so far that bodyhas defeated him, but it will notbe for long. Invisiblegovernment came out of its holein this town the other day whenthe President sent to the Senatethe nomination of Mr. Siddonsfor one of the local judgeships.Invisible government put itshands forth with result I as yetknow not of. I think it willtriumph, but injustice is ever afool in the end. It will notsucceed except for the moment.

Ben Johnson hates meanness.His soul takes on fire when it ispresented to him that wealthshirks its duty and imposes it onpoverty. It would be verydifficult for me at this momentto name any other man in eitherHouse of Congress who wouldhave not succumbed to thewarfare that has been wagedagainst Ben Johnson.

But Ben Johnson has the ear ofthe House and he will get theattention of the Senate, and eventhat body will harken to a plainprovision of justice, which isthat all property in the Districtof Columbia shall be assessed atits fair value for taxation.

I think Ben Johnson is a fixturein Congress and I am sure thatthe next generation of theDistrict of Columbia will callhis name blessed.

***Hasty Marriages

Bring Leisurely Repentance

Dr. U. G. Foote, at th MethodistTemple in Louisville Sundaynight, Feb. 14, preached asermon against the marriagesmade on the spur of the momentin Jeffersonville.

We know that the learnedperson was not shooting at us,for we while we have alwaysbeen ready, willing and anxiousto marry in haste, orJeffersonville, or in any otherplace where the fatefulceremony could be performed, itnever has taken place because ofnumerous timely, strenuous andeffective female objections.

However, we know it must beawful to marry in haste, andalmost as bad to wed in dear oldJeff, for the good parson said so.He says we are rotting at theheart. That we are flippant,irreverent and vulgar. Of course,he did not refer to the write(sic), but just shot at the wholeof creation so to speak.

In these days of tangoes,cigarettes, short, tight limitedand circumscribed costumes,motion picture shows andvulgar rag time songs, to saynothing about the low flung,vulgar literature which we findon all sides, our friend, Dr.


Page 102

Foote, need not feel surprised ifhe finds heart-rottenness.

Of course, there are hundreds ofhasty weddings which shouldnot occur, but the fault lieddeeper down in the water. Thefault lies in the home; in therearing of children and the dailyexamples set by their parents.

Of course, in a way, we arebecoming vulgar. In fact, we arevulgar. We go to theatres andlisten to vulgar songs; we payhigh prices to go see vulgarlyclad women in immoral plays,we read vulgar books. All this isthe gospel truth, and wemaintain that people who do allsuch things are vulgar, or theywould not do them. Criminalscommit crimes; birds of afeather flock together; bankrobbers rob banks, and peoplewith vulgar minds and tastes, goto see that which is vulgar, andlisten to vulgar songs and readvulgar literature.

Many happy marriages havebeen contracted in oldJeffersonville, hastily, andmany, many unhappy ones havebeen made leisurely inKentucky. It is not the wedding;for that is but an index to thecharacters and ideas of thecontracting parties.

What causes men and women tomarry without knowing eachother? It is brought about bycheap plays and cheaper novels.Love at first sight is theinvention of the writer of cheap

novels. It comes from thebookstores and footlight andleaves a lasting impression onthe young mind. We are toocareless with the children. Theygo where they please, and whenthey please, read what theyplease and do as they please.Abuse of the marriage vow isnot rotting our hearts, but rottenhearts cause us to abuse thesacred institution of marriage.

We need wholesome literature,better and cleaner music, and areturn to the puritanism of ourforefathers.

Elopements and sight-marriagesdo not cause all the evilcomplained of by Rev. Foote,but the other laxities and cursesherein enumerated are directlyresponsible.

***Quarantine

Notice - Law must be upheld.

Bullitt County was again placedunder federal quarantine on thenight of Feb. 15th.

This is due to 40 heard of cattlewhich were driven in Feb. 9.Eighteen of these on the farm ofRichard Wathen have probablyhad the Foot and Mouth diseasefor a month. Evidently the 22 ofLem Swearingen have becomeinfected on being driven outwith the Wathen herd but all 40show the disease plainly. Howlong the quarantine will last willdepend on how soon we are ableto show that we are free of thedisease. Judge Funk has

appointed a special officer toguard the infected territory andissued orders that all dogs beput up or killed. No one needhave any fear that their cattlewill be killed unless they havegenuine Foot and Mouth diseaseand any have knowledge ofcattle coming into theirneighborhood with in the lastmonth are requested to report tothe County Live StockInspector at once. Theauthorities have a list of allthese cattle and anyoneattempting to conceal them willbe prosecuted under the law.Signed - David Smith, CountyLive Stock Inspector.

***Finds Daughter Bride on aBusiness Trip Here

***Record Cattle Killing inNorth Bullitt

Seventeen cattle, 57 hogs and??? sheep were slaughtered onthe ??? occupied by ??? Friday,22nd, being all infected withFoot and Mouth disease. Onecow was bought on the farmfrom the Zender place on Feb.8th. On Feb. 18th, the CountyLive Stock Inspector found allof the cattle and part of the hogsand sheep infected. He at oncequarantined the premises andnotified the Federal and Stateveterinarians who confirmed thediagnosis and took charge of thesituation. These with the 26 inthe Wathen herd and the 49 inthe Swearingen herd make atotal of 265 animals slaughteredin Bullitt County within a week.Animals exposed to theseinfected animals showed thedisease so plainly in from fourto eight days that there was noobjection made by the owners totheir being killed and theappraizement (sic) on all wasquite reasonable. This is quite acontrast to our former so calledoutbreak where three cattle ofClemans Manning said to beinfected with Foot and Mouth

disease had been in directcontact with over fifty othercattle and in six weeks time hadnot been able to communicatethe disease to a single one. Thisshould confirm the beliefexpressed by the Pioneer-Newsthat the Manning herd did nothave the contagious Foot andMouth Disease and it is thegeneral opinion that had thepresent competent experts nowin charge of the presentepidemic had a look at them,they would never have beenkilled and the people of thiscounty would have been savedfrom a loss estimated at $25,000resulting from the needlessquarantine. There have been nonew cases discovered at thistime but it will be necessary tomake a farm to farm inspectionof all exposed territory. Dr.David Smith is devoting all ofhis time to inspection work at agreat personal sacrifice and itwill be some days before theFederal or State authorities canspare men to assist in theinspection here. Every one isrequested to keep their stock asclose as possible as we are notyet out of danger and to reportany suspicious cases at once thatthey may be investigated.
