PULL TOGETHER
The following excerpts from
the pen of T. Sanders Orr, of the
Harrodsburg Leader, are well
worth considering
" We believe the' loose-leaf to
bacco market will bring the coun
try and town into closer fellow
ship; that the farmer should be
assisted by the town in the way of
better roads, better schools and
the joining with it in securing in
formation as to scientific farming.
The country man by coming in
contact with such sentiments in
the city, and finding that, to a
great extent, his prosperity de
pends on good markets for his
stuff, is seeing the wisdom of re
turning their interest and co-operation.
Take for instance the
great saving to farmers by the
present loose leaf market. He
saves in freights, insurance, priz
ing and other fees. He gets his i
money here at home, puts it in I
the banks or spends it locally. ;
All this enables the merchants'
and manufacturers to employ
more help, pay out more wages
and make a better demand for
the farmer's products. It is won
derful how prosperous a county
-can become by such mutual co
operation as indicated.
"Our old town is progressing.
We have recently had several
manufacturing enterprises start
ed; our schools have incorporated
the manual training, scientific
farming and bookkeeping courses
in its curriculum, doing away with
the strictly cultural studies.
"Our women are wonderfully
alive to the part they can play in
'civic advancement. They man-j
age a fine library, have gotten up i
an interest in sanitation and
cleanliness, insist on oiled streets, :
shaded roads, musical culture, :
and have about raised money for j
a beautiful hospital.
"The wave of mutual helpful
ness, that grand idea that is tak
ing such a hold on America, has
reached our community, and self
ishness, which never pays, is
skulking to the rear. We are
finding that more real pleasure is
secured by putting your arm
around the other fellow and help
ing him along, pays better in eve
ry way than to throw him down
and put your heel on his head,
and it results in making your own
road to success easier. Politi
cally the same ideas are gaining
ground.
"You have a good old town,
and bv proper co-operation and
The post office people will be
very glad if senders of packages
will use care in addressing them,
i Write plainly and wrap securely
j and remember that you can send
j them long before Christmas and
.mark them "open Christmas";
i which will insure prompt service
and reduce the danger of loss by
the Christmas rush.
Mr. Smith Oldham the only son
of Mr. andMrs. Sanford Oldham,

lingering illness, the tunerai
was held at the home on Sunday
morning at half past twelve o'clock !
and was conducted by Rev. Wil
liams of the Methodist Church,

Cemetery.
Mr. Oldham was a prominent
citizen and leaves many friends to
mourn his death. He is survived
by his wife, who was Miss Allie
Cobb, and by his father and moth
er, to all of whom we tender our
sympathy.

The Circuit Judgeship
"If he enters the race, Judge
Benton certainly will be a popu
lar and strong candidate for Gov
ernor, and many Powell citizens
will give him their most loyal sup
port "It certainly will also give us
the very greatest of pleasure to
give our suffrage to Grant E. Lil
ly, whom we know to be honest,
upright and fully capable to serve
the people of his district
Mrs. Eliza King was
dead in bed last Saturday morn-
I ing at the home of her son-in-law,
James Thomas, at Ford. Mrs.
King was a resident of Winches

invalid for some time, but was !
not thought to be in a critical
conditition. .
The Great Sachem
of Kentucky, having
designated Decern-
ber 3, as Foster Day j
throughout the Reservation of
Kentucky, Floating Canoe Tribe
No. 76, took advantage of said
occasion, and had Heap Big
Time, all the Chiefs were feeling
good, and the Degree Master
Jas. W. Wagers, known as Old
Fleet Foot, with his degree team,
did some fine work. Said Tribe
had expected a visit from the
Great Sachem, Hon. Charles
Davis, and had planned to take
a class through, to show what1
Old Sexton's Tribe could do, and
after the regular session, had
planned and prepared a banquet
for the occasion. j
The lodge was called to order
by the Sachem, W. T. Edwards,
and after going through the reg-1
found ' ular orcr f business, the Coun
cil Fire was quenched in the
Chiefs Degree and rekindled in
the Adoption Degree, and same
was then turned over to the De
gree Captain, who with his team,
did some fine work, the finest
that was ever put on in the wig-
warn.
