Intelligent oh- borvcrs hnvo noted for several years the rising Udo ot Individual extrava guncu throughout the country. Nev er before In tho history of tho United Stntes hnvo tho pooplo been so prof llgnto. In tho matter of dress, travel, amusements, sports and luxuries they hnvo been spending monoy llko wa ter. Individual thrift Is at tho lowest ibb In our history. It Is Impossible for necessities to remain at bottom lovels when Inflation curses every thing else. Houston Post. O MAY WASH AWAY. Tho river bank nt Point Pleasant lms caved so far that tho old grave- yards on tho Maulsby and Martin farms, are In danger of being swept awny this spring.

C. burrow, of Cunningham, and tho late Thos. Burrow, of this place. News, Bardwcll. A QUESTION. Tho cost ot living's gono so high Wo cannot live and so must die. And say, Wo'vo got to do It right away, Because unless wo'rp p. d. q. In what It's up to us to do, The undertakers will combine Along tho wholo darn funeral lino And make that cost prohibitive As now we find It Is to live. Thus wo can neither live nor die, No matter by what means we try, And this condition being true, Say, what in thunder shall wo do? BUY FROM CARRIER. By order of tho postoffico depart- n.unt rural carriers aro no longer re quired to pick up pennies In tho rural route boxes and affix stamps to let ters. If tho money Is placed In an envelope or coin carrier tho route man will leavo stamps for the amount but patrons are urged to buy and keep e supply of stamps at home. You should buy from tho carrier If practical, as ho is credited with tho amount of stamps sold, and If less than BO cents a day average, tho roitto may bo discontinued. HERE'S THE LIMIT. Wo don't mind hooking her waist, looking to see If her white, skirts show, and it her hat Is on straight; we don't mind pinning up a veil now and then and cleaning mud off her rubbers, but when it comes to hold ing one end of a store switch while sho braids it, we think the limit has been reached, and it's tlmo for us to absert our Independence. Ex. 4,500 POUND STEER. Perhaps without an equal is a black Shorthorn steer owned by Ellas Mitchell, near Fountain City, Ills., The steer weighs 4500 pounds, Is six feet In height and 5 feet, 2 Inches across the back. Mr. Mitchell says he has refused $1200 for tho steer. This steer is In a class with Fulton county mules. CONCRETE BARRELS. A young farmer recently Invented nn ingenious device tor making con crete wntcr barrels. Ho took twq wooden barrels of different sizes, knocked the heads out of both, put the smaller Insldo the larger and fill ed tho Bpace between them with con crete, and a concrete barrel was tho ri.ilt. Tho Hickman Courier Itcnlty Co.. will offer In a short time some, of th prettiest building lots In Iltckma Watch tor the announcement. Reasons for Safety THE HICKMAN BANK Has Capital of Surplus Fund Making a total of $50,000.00 15.000.00 $65,000.00 which stands, not as the total security, but as the mar gin of security protecting our depositors. Every dollar of this must be lost before any depositor can lose a penny. This is a STATE bank, operated under the strict banking laws of Kentucky. At least four sworn reports are made each year. Its funds are protected by a modern Burglar Proof Steel Safe and Vault, and are insured against burglary and sneak thieves. Its officers and employees are under bond for the faithful discharge of their duties. All of these things, coupled with careful, conserva tive management, assure the patrons of that supreme safety which is the prime essential of a good bank. 1 1
