Then think how absolutely priceless two solid hours of continuous laughter would be. If you want a sure cure for the blues, if you want to forget your cares, your debts, the worries of everyday life, be sure to witness a performance of "The Tin to be presented at Stanford High on December 19th by the Junior Class. Plays of this type are supposed to be funny but "The Tin Hero" upsets all precedent by being ten times as funny as the average farce comedy.

Imagine the comedy that can be wrung from the situation of a fond and adoring mother who exaggerates everything pertaining to her son. She makes mountains out of mole hills and when her son writes her from Cannes, France that he has saved a young lady from drowning, the mother immediatecirculates the report that her son is A hero and a champion swimmer. As a matter of fact, the son cannot swim a stroke, but when he returns to his home in America, he finds a hero's welcome awaiting 1 him. He has got to live up to this reception, otherwise his mother's "fibbing" will be exposed. He is forced to enter a swimming contest and how he does it and what the outcome is, form the basis of one of the funniest plots ever used in a comedy.

All the members of the cast have congenial parts and will be seen to excellent advantage. STATE TO SELL PROPERTY ON WHICH TAXES IS NOT PAID When ever the sheriff of any county in Kentucky sells his delinquent list and there.is no bid on the property offered, which is of frequent occurrence, the auctioneer knocks it off to the county and state. There is quite an accumulation of such property and the county and state are going to sell it before long. We are informed that there is considerable property in this county on which no taxes have been paid and it, of course, will go under the hammer. All such property from 1929 to 1938, inclusive, will be sold.

STANFORD GARDEN CLUB The spacious home of Mrs. Earl Cole- man was gay with Christmas decorations, making an appropriate setting for the Garden Club meeting Thursday after noon, when a real Christmas Party took the place of the customary program. All members, with the exception of two or three who were unable to be present, brought beautifully wrapped Christma's gifts, and after a short business session, in which the question of awarding prizes for the prettiest and most appropriately decorated doorway, large house and small house in Stanford was discussed and voted on favorably. Mrs. J.

R. Cowan, of Danville, judged the wrapped packages. The gold star was awarded the package brought by Mrs. 'William Severance, the blue star went to Mrs. C.

Hays Foster, and a red each was given to Mrs. K. J. Francis and Mrs. Will Wearen.

The judge expressed regret that she could not attach a star to each and every one of the packages, they were all so lovely. After the judgting, Mrs. Cowan made a talk on "Wrapping Christmas Packages" and illustrated her talk with examples of her artistry, for artistry it was. She said that ing this time of. sadness and strain, it was imperative that we make of Christmas a more than usually happy and beautiful time, but that as little should be spent on wrappings, as possible, since there were so many causes near to our hearts that called for pecuniary aid, and demonstrated what really lovely things could be done with a very small expenditure.

Mrs. Cowan's talk was not only interesting but instructive, and the Club is deeply grateful to her. Mrs. Roland VonGruenigen played Santa Claus and handed to each guest her own 1 special gift, after which a delicious lunch was served by Mrs. Coleman, assisted by Mrs.

Alfred Pence and Mrs. Ben Gaines. DEATH OF AGED EX-CONFEDERATE SOLDIER Mr. John Francis. Simpson, 98 years old and a Confederate soldier, died at the home of his niece, Mrs.
