NOTES AND COMMENTS.
There ii one command given in the
Bible that few people obey "and that is
"be content with your wages." We
doubt if there is an employee living who
doesn't think he is worth more than be
is getting.
All over the State and in a number of
others ballots are falling today like
snow flakes, recording, we hope, Demo
cratic success all along the line.
A scientific paper says that 20 per
cent, of the women are knock-kneod
and a greater per cent, bow-legged. It
may be so, but you cannot prove by to
us. We are from Missouri, too.
Speaking of biting off more than one
can chew, a Baltimore man bit his mother-in-law.
Now, what do you know about
that?
A seat in the New York Stock Ex
change sold last week for M 1,000, when
they. used to command over $90,000. If
this means a gradual extinction of the
thieving concern, honest people will re
joice.
A 12 months' competition of hens at
the Connecticut Agricultural College
has just ended, the winner coming out
with 207 eggs to her credit, worth $S 80
up there. She was a scrub and only cost
75 cents. This shows the advantage of
a college education and proves that
knowledge is power even vitli lions.
A Chicago woman jabbed a highway
man with a hatpin, from the effects of
which he died. For once the pin was
as mighty as the sword.
It is stated that President Wilson
wrote his great Mobile speech on his
cuffs a few moments before delivery. It
could not have been improved upon if
he had burned the midnight oil for
weeks.
Gov. II ad ley, of Missouri, declined a
$25,000 job in Chicago and those of us
who have lived in the Windy Cjty see
where he is right.
An Ohio man was driven insane by the
high cost of living Many of I lie rest of
us are losing our minds trying to figure
how next month's grocery bill will be
paid.
Parisian doctors have begun a cru
sade against women's veils, which they
say are bad on the eyes and furnish a
receptacle for microbes. As long as they
hide ugliness and increase beauty such
an argument will cut no figure,
Owing to the fact that neither the
Republicans nor the Progressives could
agree on candidates, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Virginia will
be elected today without opposition.
Ilenry C. Stuart, the nominee, would
have been chosen anyway, but the con
dition is one that is most unusual
A Marion, Ky., woman has just made
restitution to the government for can
celled stamps used when a child. She is
now old and the incident shows that
while the lamp holds out to burn there
is hope for the transgressor.
At this season of the year when taxes
are crowding upon the people there is a
general feeling of disgust for Caesar
Augustus, who first decreed that all the
world should be taxed. Luke 2:1. The
trouble generally is we get so little for
what we pay to support the government.
Wall Street seems to be terribly torn
up over the income tax law, which will
make the operators put up some of their
ill-gotten gains. The street is usually
torn up when an attempt is made to tear
money from it.
While lecturing the post graduate
class of Georgetown University, Dr.
Conrad denounced publio sympathy for
criminals, who through mistaken senti
ment are elected to places of power,
when released. "Who was that In Ken
tucky who killed another and was sent
to Congress?" Caleb Powers, who is
taking a course and was sitting on a front
seat, arose and said, "I am the man,
doctor. I was not guilty " The doctor
apologized, saying he did not know that
Powers was a member of the class, but
no apology seems necessary to a man
who was three times convicted and once
sentenced to be hanged, only escaping
by the pardon of a partisan Governor. .
Charles G. Gates, whose only
claim to fame was that his father left
hira many millions, which he spent at
the rate of a million a year, is dead. lie
ought to have had a good time, but it is
doubtful if he enjoyed his mode of life.
There are no pocket in a shroud and
over the six feet of earth should be plac
ed a stone with the inscription: "Here
lies a fool who wasted his life, did no
crood for humanity and now pays the
forfeit."
Boys' corn clubs, sirls tomato clubs
and now boys' pig clubs under the en
couraging auspices of the department of
agriculture. This is a chance of reduc
ing the high cost of living and get hold
of some pin money.
The father of 21 children hanged him
seif at Dunkirk, N. Y. lie seems to
have waited too long to commit, felo de
se. Fifteen or twenty years ago would
have been the time.
Mrs. Pankhurst doesn't seem to be
such a bad woman after all. England
just took her too seriously.
All returns from the income tax must
be made under oath. But that won't
cut much figure. The assessor makes
you swear to the value of your property
and a great many people perjure
themselves.
Former Gov. Patterson, of Tennessee,
predicts with all the fervor of the new
convert that the saloon will be extinct
in ten years. Maybe, but n t because
Patterson has reformed since being ar
rested in a bagnio drunk.
The Postoffice Department advertised
for bids to carry the mails on a certain
route in Alaska and got only one. As
the route is over the northern mountains
in midwinter and 300 miles at that, the
wonder is that it got that one.
Statistics show that two men are kill
ed by lightning to one woman, a refuta
tion of the belief that death loves a shin
ing mark.
Connecticut's Governor wants a stat
ute enabling clergymen to regulate mar
riages. ,'Twont do. They . might re
quire you to believe in infant damna
tion, or that going down in the water
doesn't mean immersion.
The f ederal Bureau of Labor says
that round steak has advanced in price
more rapidly than sirloin. It looks like
you just can't decrease the high cost of
living exept by not living at all.
In Memphis the other night a man on
being unable to blow out the electric
light, hid the bulb in a bureau drawer,
and in Nashville a visitor wrapped a
towel around a bulb to shut out the
light. In the latter case the towel
caught fire, and came near destroying
the building. Tennessee's more dense
than darkest Africa.
K1RKSV1LLL.
J. T. Coy delivered to Mait Shearer,
53 cattle. The bunch brought $3,070.
Mrs D. B. Willis and Miss Annie, left
Tuesday to spend the winter with Mrs.
Chas. Tudor in Texas.
Miss Dillian Cochran, who has been
visiting her aunt, Mrs. Louis Ross, has
returned to her home in Lancaster.

Tutt Burnam burned Friday night, caus
ing a loss of $3,000, with $1,000 insur
ance The barn was tilled witn tobacco

Burnam was on a visit to her mother,

handsome residence burned about a year
ago.

sentee. This is indeed a remarkable
record.

the "genuine kind" and offered at such ridiculously low prices as are sometimes seen dis
played. You do not know WHAT sort of material has been hastily STUFFED L-to the
ticking. From a Sanitary standpoint, it may be vile; unfit for any person to sleep upon. As
