Have you called your hogs around you

two more to miike sure you have a good
crop of Spring pigsf You say you have
the feed. Yes. Well look what hogs
are worth and have been all winter. Is
not the proposition highly remunera
tive? Nothing will beat it. The people
of this nation are looking to you for
food and the price of meal is almost pro
hibitive, especially to the working peo
ple, who are compelled to have it in or
der to successfully perform the labor
required of them.
Cholera and high prices have caused
the shipment of immature stock hogs
and even the breeding herds until today
we find a rat shortage over the coun
try. You will find a splendid opportu
nity to buy hieh class sows in J. O. Dun
can's sale at Lebanon, Ky., Feb. 27th.

Beckham Wrote It
During a colloquy in the Senate be
tween Senators Paynterand Lodge over
the Constitutional amendment which
provides that President cannot hold
but one term, it developed that the
plank in the Baltimore platform, which
pledged the democratio party to that
principle, 'was written by Ex-Governor
Beckham, who was a member of the res
olution committee.
Simply a Funeral.
We have been asked if a republican
convention could be termed a public
gathering. Time was when it could be
thus termed, but the "old guard" are so
few fn numbers that the term will no
longer apply to them. "A funeral"
would be & more appropriate name for
such a gathering London Echo. (Rep.)
"Big Ben Bargains" Are Ad
vertised by J. 5. Stanifer.
Sale Begins Saturday.
This issue carries elsewhere an an
nouncement of a Public Sale of J. S.
Stanifer's stock of Clothing, Shoes and
Furnishings.This is advertised as some
thing more '.han an ordinary Clearance
Sale. Mr. Stanifer says the bargains
offered will eclipse all jirevious efforts
along this line, because he is compelled
to sell at least $10,000's worth of bis
stock before March 1st, in order for him
to make some important changes in his
business, which cannot be carried out
until the stock is reduced a great deal.
An unusual offer of $1 cash to each of
the ten persons who are first to enter
the store when tbe sale opens at 9 a. m.
on tomorrow, Saturday morning, Feb,
15th, has created considerable interest
and there is sure to be a large crowd on
hand. .
Another feature of the sale which will
make it an object to the people to at
tend the sale every day is what Mr.
Stanifer terms bis "Big Ben Bargains"
which will be offered every day for one
half hour only. Every day something
different will be offered at a price said
to be below wholesale in every instance
from 10 to 10:30 a. m. only. Mr. Stani
fer explains that this will be done, sim
ply to attract tig crowds of people ev
ery day whom be frankly stales he ex
pects will buy many other goods too,
once they are in the store and see the
unusual values on every hand.
CoL Walton's Dilemma.
President-elect Wilson has consented
to succumb to custom and to wear a
high bat that used to be called a "bee-
gum" on the day of his inauguration.
Col. Will Walton has been appointed by
Thomas Nelson Page, the author, to be
one of the reception committee. There
fore Col. Walton is in the middle of a
bad fix. The colonel has plenty of
money to indulge in the frivolities of
life, but he has been too busy fighting
shams and frauds all his life to pay very
much attention to personal adornment.
A slouch hat and sack coat, necessarily
with trousers, has always meant the
height of Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes
with Walton. But he has allowed him
self to go on dress parade. Now be is
up against it. He's got to follow the
leader, and if Woodrow and Thomas
Nelson are dressed up, so must tbe Col
onel from Kentucky Bowling Green
