Evolution
This subject if creating quite
a stir in Kentucky just now.
With the defenders of the bible
nit mie side nd the subjects of
evolution on the other sine. There
seenm tn he (piite ;i variation he
I a'hcii the two.
The hihle teaches that (im
cren'd man in his own im ai:e
evolution tenches man to havt
originated from brutes, a n d
guesses at winch specie. It is
lin h "-ilde to believe the teach
ins of that part of evolution
and t lie hihle too.
It is unlawful to teach th hi
hle in the schools supported hy
the State.
A hill has heen introduced to
place the same restrictions on
that part of evolution that con
tradicts the hihle.
A man who will sanction
a law to prohihit the teat hinz of
the hihle in state schools, and
favor anfi hihle teachings as to
the creation of man in these
same schools has already demon
strated one thing, he is really
sincere in his heliefthat he has
liru'e parentmre.
Nothing is so harmful to the
hihle, nothing is so degenerating
to the human mind, and its con
ception of self. This doctrine is
the fore runner of atheism, and
infidelity. It should he curded
hy law.
Jail Breakers Caught In Clay City
Wednesday niydit of last week
live men escaped from the Irvine
jail. Two of t he men, Amhrose
Lynch, charged with forgery and
Puzz Henry, charged with whis
key operations, made their way
to ('lay City w here they have rel
atives, (ireen Covey, U. 8. Dep
uty Marshal and .John Rowland,
special deputy, followed them

men on a hack street. He had
A. (i. ShinifessH qualified as his
deputy who assisted him in his
arrest. They took the men hack
to Irvine that night. The jail de
livery was ell'ected hy sawing
seven-eights steel liars in two.
Blaze in Shimfessel's Store
Early Tuesday morning a blaze
was discovered in O. Shimfessel's
store which caused considerable
damage before it could be extin
guished. The bucket brigade put
in effective work in u very short
time. Many of the goods were
carried to safety, taking no
chances on the fire gaining head
way. This fire is a reminder of
how badly we may need a lire
department and more especially
water works.
Stops Up Road
liev. (ieo. W. Mcintosh has put
a fence across the new road on
the Powell side of the Irvine
road. The liev. Mcintosh agreed
for the change in this road under
cerain provisions for change of
fence and new fencing, all of
which was started in good faith,
it is claimed, hy the good road
people, but evidently has chanir-
ed his mind. His fencing this
road greatly damages those per-
sons who have put up their cash
to put the road through.
Bus Line to Winchester
Mr. C. K. Mize, who for the
past year has carried passengers
to all sections radiating from
Clay City in his trusty Kurd, will
shortly put on a motor bus line
between this city ami Wim'hes

City some time after the down
train runs and go direct to Win
chester. It will return in the af
ternoon hefore sun down. This

every body who wishes to go that
way. It will at. least enahle them
to go and come in daylight.
Mr. Mize together with doe
Mount, the Foul agent, left tn.
day for Cincinnati to get a new
Ford Chassis. They will go from
there to Greenlield, Ohio, ami
get a new hus body for the ma
chine. When the new hack .'ine is put
into operation an effort will he
made to connect Stanton with

Stock Sales
Don't forget the pubic live
stock sales in this city Saturday,
February 20th. Let every body
who has stock to sell bring them
in and everybody who wants to
buy live stock be on the ground,
and in this way help to build up
for Powell county something of
value, lieinember free lottage
and free weights.

A Kentucky Proposition
The Great Southern Infilling
Company, of Lexington, has en
tered the Powell county field for
the delivery of their products
ttluegras Gasoline, Movoline
Motor Oil ami kerosene. The
simple fact that their oil is pro
duced in Kentucky, is refined in
Kentucky, is owned hy people of
Kentucky und their products are
as good as any delivered in Ken-
in Kentucky, is just reason that
their gas and oils should he used
hy all the people of Kentucky.

dear little daughter, Georgia

Vote on Bond Issue Abandoned
The proposition to vote ten
millions in bonds for the Ken
tucky I'niversity has been aban
doned. We failed to see why
this school should be given any
thing, if they continue to tearh
that man originated from a mon
key or some such other beasts.
One-half t h e Christian people
would not think of sending t heir
children to this school where they
receive such obnoxious and silly
teachings.
Road Bonds Not Popular
There is considerable senti-
nient aj:amsr the lifty million
I dollars road bonds becauee of t he
(defection of those in charge of
their buihling in the past. The
cost has ben too hiirh. P.etter
wait until we learn how to build
roads economically before we put
thirty years tax into them.
There has been a great slump
in price in Kordson tractors as
will fie seen in the Ford man's-ad.
today. The Fordsou is a remark
able machine at a remarkable
price.
