The pro gram Includes a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon and a visit to the historical lodge room of Alexander- Washington Lodge, Alexandria, Va over which George Washington pre g led as master. It has also been announced that former Secretary of the Treasury, William O. McAdoo will attend and address the conven tlon. Whn Senator Harding is Inaug unfed as President he will have the distinction of being the first Baptist to occupy that high office, Of the late Presidents, It Is general ly known that Mr. Wilson Is a Pres. byterlan, Judge Taft, a Unitarian that Col. RooseVelt belonged to and nttended the Dutch Reformed Church and Mr. McKlnley was Methodist. In the examination of wills It Is Interesting to note the many unlqu and often ridiculous expressions of different testators. Some time I hope to call attention to a number which have particularly impressed me. Here Is one in which an estate of some fifteen thousand dollars was disposed of.

GO TO CHRISTIAN COUNTY Kay Blackburn, one of the con victs who recently escaped from the State Reformatory at Frankfort, was given a two year sentence by a Fayette county Jury Dec. 7, 1920 for securing $2750 by forgery, while serving as Clerk of the State Board of Charities and was one of the Morrow administration's ap pointees from Ohio. Something is rotten in Morrow's system of re form of our penal and charitable institutions. That a distiller will be at the head of the prohibition enforce ment officers of the country for the next four years seems very proba ble. The force charged with de tecting and arresting moonshiners and other violators of the prohibi tion laws are under the manage ment 'of the Department of Internal Revenue which is a branch of the Treasury Department. It is under stood that President-elect Harding intends to appoint Andrew J. Mel lon, of Pittsburg, as Secretary of the Treasury. He owns half Inter est in the Overholt Distillery. His appointment might prove to be the fireaietl mistake of Harding's ad-iuiiiiHtrnton. Being in the penitentiary Is get ting to be a pretty soft Job these days. In the Winnes trial recently the evidence brought out the fact that prisoners are given many privileges while in the mountain road camps. Last week it was dis covered that Wendell, the slayer of Alma Keller, had been climbing the Reformatory walls and spending much time in the city of Frankfort. Early Monday night, three prison ers, one of them a forger and two couvlcteil of murder, escaped from the Frankfort Reformatory, and have not been found. Indications uie that bribery Is being used. This Is a sample of the reform of our Btute penal and charitable institu tions so eloquently promised by E. P. Morrow In bis race for governor. The firm known as E. P. Barnes & Bro. is moving from Beaver Dam to Hopkinsville. This is one of chain of stores operated by the Bar nes Bros., who are native Ohio Countians, and for many years has been under the direct management of Mr. Byron Barnes. The Eeaver Dam store was the largest and perhaps the most sue cessful general business house in the county, and owes its success to two causes: First, the Barnes Bros, let the public know what they had to sell; second, when the peo ple came to buy they made their advertised promises good. In other words they were the best advertisers in Ohio county. Last April they renewed their an nual contract with this paper and in the ten months up to the time they closed their store, tbey paid us for advertising more than any four other Ohio county advertisers, and they were getting our very bed rock prices at that. We understand that their reason for moving is a desire to get into a larger city and to change from a general store to a dry goods and clothing store. Ohio county will miss them. MAN DECLARED DEAD COMES TO LIFE Chicago, Feb. 14 What is death? Medical men here were frankly puz zled over the strange case of Chas. McMahon, an. interior decorator, who to all indications was dead yes terday, but who today is alive, and, as he expressed it, "better than forty dead men." If one Is "dead" when the heart ceases to beat, the lungs apparent ly cease to respond to all known tests and the body grows cold, then McHuhon was "dead" on an operat ing table where an operation had been performed for a variety of or ganic disorders. Nurses called the attention of operating surgeons to the patient's condition and a mirror held to the mouth showed not the slightest moisture. The described symptoms of dissolution appeared one by one. Oxygen was administered many times without apparent effect. Then suddeuly McHahon heaved a sigh. Later he was resting easily In his hospital room. M. I). HE KLIN AXXOrXCES CANDIDACY FOR (SHERIFF Mr. Malin D.

After a brief business session of the P. T. A., the chairman of, the Welfare Commltte took charge of themeet lng. A song to the tune of America, in which Better Hartford was the theme, was sung by the children from the grades. This song was written for this occassion by Miss Loubel Williams, a Senior in Hart ford High School. The opening address was given by Mrs. J. S. Glenn, who 'pleaded for a better and a more beautiful Hartford. She also read and com mented on a number of city ord nances.j which at the present time are not being enforced. Mayor John Bean, whose subject "How the town can help the Mayor' agreed that we need to improve the town and was in sympathy with the movement. He asked for a better public sentiment to enforce the ordnances. Judge Mack Cook promised to co operate with the committee in every way possible and suggested that committee, be appointed to confer with the Fiscal Court and make plans for beautifying the Court Square. In the absence of County Health Officer, Dr. E. B. Pendleton. Mr. O. Hunter read an article from the Medical Journal "How Mayfleld Kentucky Improved Her Conditions, Mr. M. L. McCracken made an in' teresting talk on ways and means. Mr. Rowan Holbrook stated that monument was expected to be erected to the graves of Prof, and Mrs. Wayland Alexander and that Home Coming of former students was being planned for the Unveil ing. He suggested a Clean-Up Week, beginning on Sunday with sermon by each pastor to precede and prepare the town for the Home Coming. On Saturday of Clean-Up Week the Bank of Hartford will give. show ticket to each member of the Boy Scouts, who has assisted in the campaign, under the direction of the committee. ' Mrs. 3. H. B. Carson, in her own unique style, read the poem found elsewhere in this issue, "Hartford Forty Years Ago." The committee was well pleased with the interest displayed by the citizens and will. In the near future begin the campaign with the hearty co-operation of each and every citi zen. A City Betterment Pledge has been printed and can be obtained at the Bank of Hartford.

Carson) 'Twas forty years ago, dear Tom, That we had built our College, And boys and girls from far and near Came flocking here for knowledge, The town was wide awake, then Tom, 'Twas up and doing things, Tore up plank walks and built brick. We hurried to and fro We made many changes, then, Tom That was forty years ago. The old school house has since burned down And this one bujlded new. The desks are very much the Same, (Only they're made for one Instead of two) Some of the old bricks are in the wail, But no bell swings to and fro, We love the building Just the same As we did the one forty years ago The grass grows Just as green, Tom And barefooted boys at play Are sporting Just as we did then With spirits just as gay. But the Master sleeps on yonder hill And no slab marks his tomb. What makes us all so slow? For he has long gone home. I think how very much we ve changed Since forty years ago. But since that time we've piked our Streets And wore them through ' and through, - Down to the same old mud holes That were here forty years ago. Let's fill them tip again, dear Tom, And start anew this spring And make our old town more bean tiful, Let all It's praises sing. And those who are passing through may know We've made some changes since forty years ago. The same old walks have been re built Of nice concrete and stuff, The old lamp posts have been re moved For nice electric lights (sometimes) And part of the town bad well pav ed streets And wore an air of ease. But that's all past, we see no place Of beauty, our eyes to plase. Wo do not hurry, but we know Our town should have some change Since Forty years ago. So let's be up and doing And help some others go. Then our town will wear a air Than It did forty years ago. greater HOPKINS COUNTY WOMEN TAKING KINDLY TO POLITICS LET TAYLOR DO YOUR TAILORING Smart Designs, Snappy Models and the Finest of Fine Tailoring Business Suits, Norfolks, OutiDg Suits of every de- 6tription, Frocks, Even ing Dress, Top Coats, Palm Beaches, Mohairs, Fancy Vestings, White 'Flannels,, and a fine lot special assortment of.
