Make the appointment today, The Sacray Studio. m-tf' SOMETHING NEW Among the numerous joyful opportunities of the Christmas season is the Christmas Seal sale of the Kentucky State Tuberculosis Association. This year for several reasons the campaign will be carried on in a new way. In the first place the State Association is under contract to send no seals into Lincoln county except to this committee.

In the second place, because Lincoin county has a full time Health Unit, 65 cents out of every 100 stays here to be used by the unit in carrying on program in this county. In the third place the campaign will not be in the hands of school children. We pect every school child in the county show its appreciation of the Health Unit by buying at least one stamp, but they will not solicit. You will be asked either by mail or personally, tor contribute to this worthy cause. Whether you do or do not buy.

seals, you will not be asked again. This committee not begging, it is giving you an opportunity to help carry on a great fight And it is your fight, for as long as there is a case of tubereulosis in the county, no one is safe, for it is so contracted. On next Monday morning, 8th, letters will be mailed to some of Stanford's leading organizations asking them for their donations. A little surprise is, planned for the first one who returns the enclosed envelope with the money atI tached. Now don't consider this as just one more call for money.

Remember Santa may not knock at as many doors this year as usual because of hard times, but disease, and especially tuberculosis, will knock at more. Let's help slam that door in the face of pestilence. GRAND OLD MAN PASSES Mr. John Riley Williams, 84 years of age, passed from this life to a better and sweeter one at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ed Foster, in this city last Thursday afternoon about five o'clock.

Deceased was born and. reared near Eubank, but had been a resident of this city for the past few years. On January 15, 1847, he was married to Miss Mary Adams, also a native of Pulaski. To this union were born three children, two of whom survive. They are Mrs.

George Foster and Mrs. Ed Foster, both of Liberty. His wife preceded him to the grave about three years ago. He is also survived by four grandchildren and seven great-grand children. In his boyhood days he united with the Baptist church at Eubank.

During the war between the states he enlisted in Co. Thirteenth Kentucky Cavalry on October 24, 1863, and remained in service until January, 1865. He was a mighty fine old man and was honored, loved and respected by everybody that knew him. He had been in failing health for some several months and his passing was not 8 surprise to those familiar with his condition. Interment took place in the Glenwood cemetery, beside his wife, Saturday morning after a very beautiful funeral service conducted at the home of Mrs.

Ed Foster by Rev. A. S. Jeffries. Uncle Johnnie will be sadly missed, not only by those who held him near and dear, but by his legion of friends as well.

Casey county News. TURKEYS CHEAPER THAN SOUP BONES Local dealers are paying 16 cents a pound for turkeys. This is the lowest price for turkeys in more than fifteen years. Turkeys are the most delicate birds. of the fowl family and we never thought that the price would go down lower than soup bones.

The labor situation in the large cities usually controls the price of turkeys. It Isn't the rich that consumes turkeys, but is the average working man when he is employed at good wages. When the wheels of big factories in the commercial centers are turning we have the greatest turkey market. When the factories are shut down or working on half time turkeys sell cheap. There is a fair crop of turkeys in Pendleton County, but the returns to the housewife for these birds will be very meager this year.

At the same time, it cost more to raise turkeys this season than ever before, as the feed had to be bought. -Falmouth Outlook. NASHVILLE BANKER FOUND DEAD With a shoestring knotted tightly around his' throat, R. E. Donnell, president of the recently closed Liberty Bank and Trust and long prominent figure in local financial circles, was found in a room of hotel in Nashville.

He was found by M. B. Johnson, assistant cashier of the closed Liberty Bank and Trust who had sought throughout the night for him. Condition of the body indicated he had been dead only a few minutes. The examiner found the bank solvent.

PECULIAR PIECE OF MONEY Henry Salter, colored, showed us a piece of money the other day that was a puzzle. It was a nickel on one side, while on the other "2c" appeared. It probably was the work of some fellow who had some knowledge of counterfelting and was just trying his hand. A DOZEN BUSSES FOR HOUSTON A round dozen busses, to' be used by the city of Houston, Texas, wer driven through this city Friday. They were followed by another bus, in which the drivers lived at night on their long journey.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION The wife and children of Mr. Josh Wilson, of the East End, gave him a treat Sunday, when they prepared An elegant dinner for him in celebration of his 80th birthday. All of his children and a portion of his grandchildren were present and it was a highly enjoyable day. Mr.

Wilson was born in the Bee Lick section of the county and his long life has all been spent in this good county. Mr. Wilson is the third "Joshua Wilson" in his family, and if the other two Joshuas were as clever men and as good citizens, we are here to say they were all right, Mr. Wilson has been a life-long democrat and in his younger and more active days, was a wheel-horse. He and his good wife have been married 57 years.

Their children are Miss Mary Wilson, the well-known school teacher, Mrs. Patsy Gooch, of Lexington, and Mr. Dee Wilson, the Cedar Creek merchant. HAPPY FAMILY REUNION Dr. and Mrs.

A splendid turkey dinner was enjoyed and the occasion was an enjoyable one in every respect. Three birthdays were celebrated, the doctor's being one of them. Bashful man that he is, he would not, of course, divulge his age. MRS.

O. WILL REMAIN WHERE IT IS The Stanford postoffice will remain where it is at least seven months longer, and we hope it will remain there indefinitely. The government has leased the Phillips Phillips store room for another six, months, beginning Jan. 1st. The room is well adapted for postoffice purposes, the location is central and fine.

In fact we fail to see any good reason for moving the postoffice unless we are to have a government building to house it. And that, we fear, is rather distant in the future. EDUCATIONAL PICTURE The Stanford Woman's Club with Miss Pattie Alcorn and Mrs. Hays Foster as leaders, will present a picture show of unusual educational value.

DRAWINGS AGAIN THIS YEAR The merchants and business men of this city will again play Santa Claus to the people of this county in giving away, starting Saturday afternoon, thirty gifts in money.

Tickets will be given away starting Friday, to each purchaser of 50c or more from the places of business that will be listed in a large advertisement in Friday's paper. AFTERNOON TEA Mrs. J. L. Beazley entertained at her home on West Main Street, last Friday afternoon members of the Euterpean Club and a number of other friends.

OVER 2,000 VISIT GARAGE OPENING Considerably more than 2,000 people visited the beautiful Hargan Garage Saturday, when the formal opening was held. The Interior Journal told in its issue of a week ago about the building, its conveniences and comforts, its advantages and its general desirability. The formal opening Saturday was befitting the splendid business home of the Hargan Motor Co.

and many will remember the auspicious occasion. The office was beautiffed with baskets of cut flowers sent by admirers of Col. Matt R. Hargan and others sent by business firms who appreciate his liberal and square dealing. The most noticeable of the floral offerings was a huge pedestal in the center of the room bearing the word "Ford," made of pink flowers.

This was presented by the Misses Hampton, Stanford florists. Others who contributed floral designs were the Goodrich Tire Rubber Co. Howard Louisville, Perkins Louisville, Solomon Louisville, Adams Louisville, Carothers Loutsville, Kentucky Utilities Stanford, Iris Hill, Stanford, Dexheimer Motor Somerset, First National Bank, Stanford, J. B. Dick Co, Stanford, Lancaster Motor Lancaster.

During the day sweet music added to the pleasure and brilliancy of the occasion. It was furnished by a local band composed of Al Sampson, Will Boone and Roy Dempsey. Misses Gretchen Gilliland and Dora Katherine Hill, two of Stanford's most charming young women, helped greatly in making all the visitors feel that it was good to be there. They saw that each guest was supplied with a souvenir as a reminder of the opening of the most modern garage in Central Kentucky. Mr.

George Buck, of the Goodrich Tire Cincinnati, G. E. Livingston, Ford dealer at New Albany, assisted in entertaining the crowd that gathered from early morning until nearly dark. Mr. Livingston was accompanied by his family.

Col. Hargan was a most genial host and he and. Mrs. Hargan did much for the delestation of their guests. It was a general holiday for his force of mechanics, salesmen, and they all helped make it.

pleasant for the many who visited the garage. Mr. Harry of the office force of the Hargan Motor was detained in his room by illness, much to his regret and that of his many friends. Saturday was big day for the Hargan Motor Co. and an enjoyable one for the 2.000 or more who were most courteously treated at Stanford's newest enterprise and the most complete and modern garage in all this section.

The Interior Journal congratulates Col. Hargan on the success of his opening, the city on the acquisition of so handsome a home for autos and auto accessories, and the business men of Stanford who made the building possible by taking stock in the movement for its erection. The next opening in the building will be that of the beautiful sleeping rooms over the garage, which will be used by the St. Asaph Hotel, Mine Host Parks having leased the second floor for a period of ten years. Friends of Col.

Hargan, who came from 8 distance for the opening, were Mr. Kellogg, Ford dealer at Richmond, Mr. Paul, Dexheimer, Ford dealer at Somerset, Col. Bob Waddle and Editor Cecil Williams, of Somerset, Col. Hargan has proven a valuable citizen to Stanford, and really he is one of city's biggest and best assets.

Our splendid asphalt streets are to a considerable extent due to his work as councilman and many other of the modern improvements we enjoy were pushed through with his assistance. He is interested in every phase of civic work, gives liberally of his time and means to any and all good causes and does well whatever he attempts. He has represented the Ford Automobile Co. a long time and has sold enough cars for the great mechanic and manufacturer to almost belt Lincoln county. That he may continue in his work, both as a business, man and civic worker, and prosper even more than he already has, is the wish of his many friends, including his home paper and those who push it along.

ACCEPTED CALL TO DEXTER, MO, CHURCH Rev. J. T. Dougherty, who resigned as pastor of the First Baptist church here some months ago and has been doing evangelistic and supply work since, has accepted a call to the Baptist church of Dexter, Mo. Dexter is a city of some 3,000 and the congregation of the Baptist church has recently erected a handsome house of worship.

There are some 200 members of the church and Mr. Dougherty believes it a splendid field for him in his chosen work. He will leave with his family in a few days for Dexter, where the best wishes of his many friends will always be with him. Mr. Dougherty is an able expounder of gospel truths, an untiring worker in his Master's cause and has the happy faculty of making friends of all who come in contact with him.

It is generally regretted that he and his excellent family are to leave Stanford. PRESBYTERIAN LADIES BAZAAR Please remember the bazaar of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Presbyterian church next Saturday. Dec. 6th, at Hargan's new garage. Nice country ham.
