Dear Friends: With this issue will end my brief service as local ed itor of Tho Hartford Herald. I have been called for military servlco and will leave for Camp Taylor next Monday. Tis with mingled sorrow and pride that I leave you, sorrow because of parting, but pride that I can be of service in crushing the foe to our civil, political and religious liberties. Although I leave a widowed mother two sisters and many, many loved ones, I feel that in so doing I will' be the more worthy of their love and esteem. I desire to sincerely thank those who have encouraged and assisted me in making my work in connection with Tho Herald a success, arid trust you will remember me while engaged in "doing my bit for Uncle Sam". Now to all, p. long farewell, trust ing that when the Hun shall have been defeated, and peace shall once more reign wo may meet again and side by side take up the great work pf reconstruction. f , ' Sincerely Yours, r 'v LYMAN G. BARRETT. LOCAL EDITOR HERALD GOES TO LICK HUN. Lyman G. Barrett, who has been local editor of Tho Herald for the past month, has been called to tho colors, and will report to tho Henderson county board Monday for entrapment to Camp Zachary Taylr. Mr. Barrett is an exceptionally fine young man, and mado many friends during his short stay In Hartford. Though The Herald regrets ex ceedingly to give him up, we, with his many friends, wish him luck, and hero's hoping that If ho gets across tho "pond" he will bring back tho Kaiser's eye tooth. OHIO COUNTY AWAKE. During the early days of our great Civil War, there were many people, or both North and South, who pre dicted that Americans would nover fight. After tho war had been in progress n short time and our sol. diers had shown to the world that in all history there wore nono braver these self same people not only were forced to admit their great mistake, but many went so fnr as to pi edict that Americans would never quit fighting. In tho earlier weeks of the prc bont war, a number of persons were heard to expross tho opinion that be cuuso of our long period of pcicc, tho spirit of '70, of '1G and 'oil was iload. Because our' government us ed tho more rapid, process of con scription, many pessimists even tald wo would have a civil war. At this timo, ulthough wo havo Just begun fighting, these falso prophets aro a- wakon to tho fact tliut tho spirit of ' Liberty is wide awako nnd that our hoy are Just as patriotic, just ns bravo just as tiue as woro tliolr foro parentn at . Bunkors Hill, at Vera Cruz or Gettysburg. Here in Ohio County, during tho early part of tho war, wo had sever al, nnd yet liavo a few who aro not fully awako to tholr duties ami op rportunltlos, but tho mass of 1'ic poo plo of our county aro roally ulive to tho grave Issues of tho present and jnny bo counted on to do ovorythlng in tholr power to thwart tho purposo of tho Hun. President Wilson lias doslgnatod noxt Friday April 26, as Liberty day. Lot's, celcbrato it by .purchasing a Liberty bond. Hartford heed not bo afraid of a Gcrmah land attack, for with the and nrescnt condition of our roads bridges it would bo impossible for them to reach here. Senator Beckham thinks the Senate should spend less, timo in talking, and more time In , doing things. Beckham is not the only Kentucklan that has this opinion. Kontucklans arc sometimes mighty slow about getting started, but w.hcn they do all creation can't stop 'cm, They havo outranked every ' other stato In the- purchase of Liberty bonds. That the Gorman-Americans are at last realizing the seriousness of their position, Is fully evidenced by the fact that German American Alliance has disbanded and given tho $30,000 now In their treasury to the Ameri can Red Cross. It Is hard to concolvo why Ireland, knowing tho fato of Belgium, Toland, Servla and other weaker peoples, should still persist In trying to avert conscription. Tho Irish people havo long bocn noted for their bravery. Shall the -world bo forced to Change its opinion? Adjt. Gen. Ellis Is beginning tho organization of several companies of Stato malltia. This Is a splendid op portunity for those under and above the draft age, to show their colors. Why not get together here In Ohio county and ask that another com pany be organized here? A dispatch from France says that army men In Paris arc now of the opinion that the Germans participat ing in the present drive aro no few er than 1,500,000 and that their casualties have amounted to 500,000. If this be true wo hope they keep on driving, for at this rate, when they enter Paris they'll all be dead uns. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE.

That the moon can make people mad Is still n prevalent belief, nnd even most of those who pride them selves on being free from all supersti tion would hesitate to lie where tho moon can shine upon them while they sleep. For would they not run tho risk of being "moon struck?" Does not Othello In tho -agony of hl3 soul exclaim : Tli tho very error of the moon. Elio comes more near tho earth than sho was wont. And makes meji mad. Science ridicules nil of this todny, pointing out that the moon can send us nothing but her light, which is only n feeble reflection of that of tho sun, nnd the attraction of her gravity, which seems to affect tho rise and fall of tho tides. Wanted Officers to Learn Dancing. That the great Lord Nelson urged Ills midshipmen to learn dancing has been discovered through the publlca' tlon of n letter written by the hero of Trafalgar to tho earl of Cork. Cap tain Nelson as ho then was wrote: "It It necessary that your son should be mado complete In his navigation, and If tho peace continues, French Is abso lutely necessnry. Dancing is nn ac complishment thnt probably a sea of ficer may require. You will see almost tho necessity of it, when employed In foreign countries; Indeed, the honor of tho nation is so often entrusted to ben officers that there la no accomplish ment which will not bltlno with pe culiar luster in them." Early Intoxicating Liquors, i Pliny euys: "The natives who In habit the west of Europo have a liquid with which they intoxlcato themselves, made from corn and wnter. The man Wr of making this liquid differs. In Cuul and Spain nnd other countries It Is called by different names, but Its nature and properties are everywhere the same. "The peoplo of Spain In particular brew this liquid so Well that It will keep n long time. So exquisite is tho cuujilng of nifiuklnd in gratifying their vicious appetites that they havo thus Invented u method to make water itself uroduco intoxication."
