Chinn, who left this week for New York, whence he will sail for France, who re cently returned from Jaurez, Mexico, when he had a string of horses at the track, while in Lex ington related several stories of his experience in that revolution ridden country, which shows the mannor of man General Villa is. While in Jaurez, Col. Chinn made the acquaintance of the rebel leader and became quite intimate with him. He told a story here which illustrated how the bandit general ruled with an iron hand and how promptly he deals with offenders. At the time Col. Chinn was at Jaurez a large number of rebel soldiers were in and around the town, and these frequently be came intoxicated. Strict orders were issued by Villa to the sa loon keepers not to sell the sol diers intoxicants, but ' later the violation of the order became flagrant and many of the soldiers were found on the street in a drunken condition. By the order of the rebel chief the drunken soldiers were arrest ed and put under guard. They were forced to tell where they obtained the intoxicants, which resulted in the arrest of twenty eight saloon keepers. Instead of being permitted, to go on with their business, as has been the case in certain places not a thousand miles from Lexington, with violators of the saloon laws, these twenty-eight were taken out and promptly shot to death by Villa's orders. . Col. Chinn received an invitation from the Rebel leader to attend the ex ecution, , but declined' to -be 'a witness.to the: ..slaughterLex-' ington Leader. Raz Barlow became stage struck this week and followed a magic lantern show to Tickville.

Tobe Moseley's onion patch and Miss Fruzie Allsop's hat are showing signs of spring. It may be the style now for women to have their backs pho tographed, but Miss Hostetter Hocks says the fellow that gets a tin type of hers will have to do so behind her face. Poke Eazly was seen at the Hog Ford church last third Sun day with a new pair of pants on. They are his old ones fixed up, but this fact is not generally known. Miss Fruzie Allsop has been chosen secretary of the woman's organization of the Dog Hill church. She has bought a 'pen and ink and will enter actively upon her duties at once.

They know that their President is right at heart and esrnestly trying to do what is best for the whole people and what further counts for a great deal, they are taken into his confidence and they know what he is doing. The people like to know what is going on in our own government and are tired and disgusted with secret underground methods in public affairs. They like to be trusted in these things and they under stand them much better than a lot of politicians think they do. This is one of the big factors un derlying the falmost universal confidence that the President en-joys.-Harrodsburg Herald Obituary. On the the 28th day of March, 1914, the Death Angel visited the home of Mr. George Shaw, Jof Waterford, Spencer county, Ky., and claimed for its victim his beloved wife, Nellie. She was a sufferer of consumption and had been sick about three months. Nellie Smith Shaw was born April 1st, 1878, and was married January 31st, 1898, to George Shaw. God saw fit to tane her away, so He called her to come up higher. Mrs. Shaw leaves a husband, two children, three sisters, two brothers, a mother and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Nellie ha3 gone to be with her father who about seven months ago fell asleep in the arms of Jesus. Her place is now vacant, but do not weep dear husband and children, brothers, sisters and mother, for Nellie is only asleep in Jesus to await the resurrec tion morn. - Death is no respecter of per son, it comes to old and young alike. If you have given your heart you can face death with out fear. Her three months' illness was one continual fight to recover her health so she could stay with her husband and children, but such was not the will of the Lord, so she calmly committed herself to the Father's will. She delighted to read the Bible. Many thank9 are. given to friends who were so faithful during Nellie's ill ness. .. Items of Interest. Troubled conditions in Turkey have led numbers of young Mos lems many more than can be received to apply for admission to Christian schools.

President Wilson. Men of honor and ability may differ from President Wilson's views on one or more public questions, but regardless of par ty, they do not differ as to the fundamental honesty and sound Americanism of the man. The President's open, frank and man ly course has won for him a place in the hearts of the common peo ple of the country that has been occupied by no chief executive since James Monroe, they trust him because he shows them he is. not afraid to trust' them; and they can see that he is right on most, if not all, of the great Jqaettiona&e.Tias rlaBO, openly.

During the last 27 months there have been three train rob- beries on the outskirts of Colum bia, S. C, and one daring hold up within SO miles of Columbia. The train robberies have been the work of "lone bandits," In two of the train robberies in Columbia the registered mail ' was looten. The amount secured by the robbers has not been made public by the post-office authorities, In the latest train robbery in Columbia, which oc curred a few weeks ago, the bandit chose the express car for his operations. He secured noth ing of value. All three of the train robberies have features in common. The two which occurred in December, 1912, and on March 5, 1914, are strikingly similar in all their de tails. In both instances the rob bers boarded the trains at Royster when they stopped to get block orders. Both robberies . happened about 10 o'clock at night. Each of the robbers was masked, held pistols on the mail clerks and took several folders containing registered mail. Both trains were brought to a stop be tween Royster yards and the Union 'station by a pull on the emergency brake cords by the robbers. Each of the robbers de camped for parts yet unknown when the trains reached Whaley. street crossing near the southern boundary of the city.
