J. O. U. A. M.
Shepherdsville Council, #119,
Junior Order United American
Mechanics.
To the Jr. Past Councilor and
Members, Jr. O. U. A. M.
Greeting: Your Councilor is not
unmindful of the responsibility
you have placed upon him, and
while it will be his aim to so
conduct the affairs of his Council
Page 1
as to merit the “well done, good
and faithful servant”, he feels that
the success of the order does not
rest upon the Councilor alone.
Every officer in the order has his
responsibility and likewise the
members. If every member of this
order would do his part towards
its upbuilding during this coming
year, there would be no question
about the result that we would
have, and if every member would
reflect back to his vows that were
placed upon him, he would make
a strong member, and we would
have less suspensions.
Dear Member, put the robe of
honor on your shoulders that once
was there and get busy and come
yourself and bring a new man
with you every meeting night. I
want to thank the members for the
honor that they have bestowed
upon me by re-electing me
Councilor of the order. We have
had one meeting in 1916, with a
small attendance. We would like
to have a full house at our next
meeting. We have some
applications for memberships to
the order, and several of them
want the Oriental Degree, so let
us get busy and give them a good
time. We are anxious to have a
good strong Booster Committee
for this year and it would be
necessary for them to be present
to appointment. There is plenty
for us to do. Let’s have a reunion
of all members, and roll the year
1916 up past the record mark.
May we all think of the past and
study out a way that we can be
more useful in this glorious new
year, and not let any opportunity
pass.
Pray do not become suspended,
Ere it be for you too late; You can
find them by the hundred who
popular members of the upper
House and this present Senate is
some “toppy” body at that. He is
a credit to his County and district,
absolutely honest, strictly moral
and an untiring worker. Bob

and accomplished more for the
welfare of his fellow man, his
party and his state and asked less

years, of near Brooks Station was
arrested by Deputy United States
Marshall, J. R. Howell on a

offense. He will be given trial in
the United States court
Wednesday.
Hon. J. W. Snider, our
Representative from Spencer, is a
man of pleasing personality - a
looker and mixer - an up-to-date
businessman without any of the
earmarks of a new member at all
and should make good without
half trying. Prof. Jack Sander’s
father, R. M. Sanders from
Taylor, is a member of the Senate
and Miss Miss Mary Hall, our
accomplished primary teacher,
has an uncle in the House. Then
there is Johnie Buckman, Head
Janitor in the Senate, to see that
everything is kept in order, and
John Bell, of the Insurance Dept.,
our slow Hess ???, who will make
the judges “take notice” in any
old showing, and all in all, Old
Bullitt can feel that she has
“purty” big kinfolks all over

Of our Son and Brother, Roy S.

1913.
The grief that fills my sorrowed

***Ira A. Griffin
When the impenetrable shadow of
death’s long night gathered about
the couch of Ira A. Griffin, and
the silent messenger called him
away from the busy scenes of life,
Bullitt County lost one of her best
and most useful citizens. His
character was beautiful to look
upon; his life was as an open
book; his heart was as kind and as
generous as ever beat in human
bosom.
M o d e s t a nd retiring i n
disposition, honest and upright in
all his dealings with his fellow
man, and true and faithful to
those dependent upon him, he
was loved by all who knew him.
Young in years, industrious,
ambitious and capable, he had, by
strict application to his trade,
become one of the very best
carpenters in Bullitt County.
Happily wedded to the woman of
his choice, domiciled in a new
home built and fashioned by his
own genius and hands, his life
was filled with the golden
sunshine of happiness, when the
dark and depressing shadows of
disease fell across his pathway
and filled his life with gloom. For
three years he fought with all his
strength and determination
against his last and most terrible
enemy, and at last after a
prolonged and heroic struggle
was forced to yield - to Death.
Peace, Sweet Peace to his ashes;
sweetly may he rest after the
sorrows and pains of his last days,
and beyond the ken of mortal eyes
may he find a home where disease
comes not, and the shadows of
death are not known. A friend.

***Kentucky Leader in Good
Roads
Began building macadamized
roads as far back as the
Eighteenth century.
In 1908, the General Assembly of
Kentucky passed a Constitutional
Amendment permitting the State
to lend its credit to the Counties
f o r r o a d b u i ld i n g a nd
maintenance.
Kentucky was one of the first
states in the union to establish
state aid for road construction. As
early as 1810, the General
Assembly of Kentucky provided
for the opening of roads to the
Virginia line and began the
construction of macadamized
roads in 1820.
Prior to 1840, Kentucky had spent
more than $2,000,000 in the
construction of macadamized
roads which were built on rights
of way sixty feet wide. These
roads were located on light grades
and easy curves, and were graded
twenty-four to thirty feet between
ditches. Talford foundations
between sixteen and twenty-four
feet were used with a good
macadam surface. This work was
under the supervision of a state
eng i n e e r i n g d e p a rtment,
consisting of a state highway
engineer, at a salary of $5,000 per
year, with a corps of assistants at
salaries ranging from $1,100 to
$2,500 per annum. Many of these
roads are yet in a splendid state of
preservation, and are rendering
substantial service in the
communities through which they
pass.
However, the policy of internal
improvement was discontinued
prior to 1850, owning to the
financial condition of the
treasury, and a change in political
parties, and it was not until 1908
that any attempt was made to
revive a state system of highway.

The last Common School
Diploma Examination for 1916 is
being held here this week by Ora
L. Roby and his efficient Board of
Examiners, Mrs. Glenn and Miss
Hall.
The County School Board was in
session Monday and besides
allowing several claims, approved
the plans and specifications for
the new school at Mt.
Washington.
Mr. J. R. Ball, well known
contractor of Zoneton, was
awarded the contract for building
a school for colored children near
the Harry Wells farm for the sum
of $327.00. Mr. Ball has built
several school houses in this
county in recent years and all
have been very satisfactory.
The County School Board last
Monday appointed the following
committee to meet May 15th to
revise the School Rally program
for 1916. Jasper Pearl, Mrs. Jas.
Pope, Miss ?????. Bertha Engle
and Miss Mary Collins.

of Hardin County are the proud
parents of a fine boy, born May
5th. Mr. Payne is serving his first

hear splendid reports of his work
in our sister county.
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Shepherd,
of Belmont, were called here
Sunday night to see her mother,
Mrs. Geo. Weller, who is
seriously ill.
The play given at Mt. Washington
Tuesday evening by local talent
here was quite a success and a
nice sum realized, a good per cent
of which goes to the new school
building at that place.
Miss Verna Funk, of Brooks,
spent several days recently the
guest of Mr. and Mrs. Conrad
Maraman.
The school trustee election here
was very quiet and only a few
dozen patrons came out to vote
for the old trustees, all of which
w e r e r e -e l e c t e d wi t h o u t
opposition. The trustees elected
here were Otis Russell, S. B.
Simmons and J. D. Buckman.

Throughout the world, the 300th
anniversary of the death of
William Shakespeare was
observed the past week. One
American judge took the occasion
to decide that Lord Francis
Bacon, and not William
Shakespeare, wrote the plays
called Shakespeare’s. The
question came up in a publisher’s
lawsuit. This is an old claim made
many years ago, by descendants
of Bacon, and by others. Most
literary critics do not accept it.
The evidence that a man of
S h a k e s p e a r e ’s l i m i t e d
opportunities could not have
written that is rather strong, but
the evidence that Bacon did write
them is extremely weak. Bacon’s
known writings do not have the
least semblance to the plays. It
does not matter much. The man
the world means when it says
“Shakespeare” is the man,
whatever his true name may have
been, who did write these plays.
***Delightful Entertainment
High School “Juniors” entertain
“Seniors”.
On Friday night, the 5th inst, one
of the most thoroughly enjoyable
entertainments of the season was
given by the Junior Class of
Shepherdsville High School at
their school building in honor of
the Senior Class as a sort of
prelude to the near approaching
commencement exercises.
About 8 o’clock, the Juniors,
composed of the following young
ladies and gallant young men, viz:
Misses Laura Daniel, Mary Kirk,
Thelma Lee, Lula Cook, Lula
Ashby, Lucille Wooldridge and
Mary Bell; Messrs Roy Childers,
Ralph Henderson and Buren
Hardin, all tastefully arrayed in
evening costume, assembled at
the main door of the new
Gymnasium and welcomed their
arriving guests with cordial
smiles and easy grace that would
have been a credit to veteran
society belles and beaux and that
made every one feel easy and at
home.
Grace Griffin, Neva Magruder,
Willie May Ridgway, Clara Lynn
Funk, Sylvia Phillips and Sara
Jane Buckman, who will soon
appear before the public in their
graduating exercises. For beauty,
grace and charm of manners, we
challenge the State of Kentucky
to furnish ten fairer or finer ones.
The program for the evening
opened with a grand march, to
delightful music on the piano
rendered by Miss Mayme
Stephens of the Seniors, which
was followed by ??? contests
conducted by Miss Bessie White,
one of the schools accomplished
teachers, who as mistress of
ceremonies, with easy grace and
charming manners, proved her
excellence as a hostess as well as
a teacher and made the evening
one long to be remembered by all
present.
Following is a list of those
present and enjoying the
festivities, in addition to the two
classes above named.
An old fashioned Virginia Reel
was another charming feature of
the entertainment, which wound
up with an elaborate and excellent
supper, beautifully served in one
of the recitation rooms, that was
thoroughly enjoyed by everyone
present and kept the merry throng
till long past the midnight hour.
Prizes awarded in the guessing
contests, consisting of delicious
boxes of candies and confections,
were won by the following: Dr.
Bates, Mrs. Sanders, Misses Mary
Hall and Lula Ashby.
The Seniors, guests of honor,
consisted of Misses Mayme
Stephens, Nancy Jeffries, Lillian
Thompson, Bertha Trunnell,
The entertainment was given to
establish an annual event which
we trust will continue for many
years to come – in fact, as long as
the High School lasts.
Mesdames Lora Lee Bates,
Conrad Maraman, Jack Sanders,
Dora Harris, Misses Mary
Collins, Mary Hall, Stallings,

***Baseball
The Jeffersonville baseball team
motored down to our town
Saturday and played the local
team here in what we consider a
first-class game, defeating our
boys 5 to 4.
Hagan pitched a good game but
his support was at times not so
good, this being the first game
this year. Most of the team need
practice, but the main reason we
Page 10
lost is that the Hoosier team has
a pitcher names “Jinx” who by
the way is some pitcher and the
best batters on our team fanned
out.
Our boys lined up as follows,
which should bring a victory to
most any other game.
Hagan and Bridwell, batteries;
Herps, Sanders, Winedell and
Bullock, infielders; Crenshaw,
Shields and Lee, outfielders.
The feature of the game besides
the good pitching on both sides,
was the playing of Shields in
outfield who covered the entire
center field and played his
position like a big leaguer.
***Revival Meeting
A Revival meeting will begin at
Mt. Weyler Mission, May the
20th. Services will begin at 7:45
p.m.. Preaching by Rev. Hillary
Burns, Everybody Welcome.
***Ordination Service
The ordination service of Harvey
and Hillary Burns at Bullitts Lick
Sunday were largely attended. A
large crowd from Louisville were
out. Services were conducted by
Bro. Albrittin and Myers, of
Louisville. Both are good
speakers and workers for our
Lord Jesus. Both brothers passed
the examination fine and would it
be that old Bullitt could send out
more just such soldiers to win
souls for Jesus, and tell the lost of
their faith, as we go out and see
so many young men who are
letting their time pass and doing
nothing for Jesus, and when the
last day comes, they will cry for
the rocks and the mountain, they
will pray but their prayer will be
too late. Young men, now is the
time to work while it is day for
when night cometh, no man can
work. May the Lord always bless
the two brothers who have started
on life’s battle. They will have
many temptations but the good
Lord ever loves and cares for his
own. If we all only ask, He will
carry us through.
all should go out and hear him.

A Julep
Page 13
When the odor of the mint bed
steals across the balmy air;
And you know there’s
something doing in the
party
over there;
Then you welcome back the ice
man and you hunt a glass
and spoon;
And you soon are busy mixing
to the Rose and Julep Tune.
First you crush the mint
delicious till the odor fills all
space;
Then you add a little water and
of sugar, just a trace.
Break some ice in little
nuggets, just enough to hear
it click,
Then you fill the glass with
Clermont and you’re ready
for a drink.
Then you close your eyes and
sip it till you hear the birdies
sing;
And a thousand pleasant
fancies into active being
spring.
And you swear that “Old
Kentucky” is a place of
perfect bliss.
For there’s no where that you
know of that can measure
up
to this.

Cam we do any better? Shall we
declare war, load our big
transports with soldiers, start
them across the Atlantic only to
have them sunk by German
submarines? Shall we send
hundreds of thousands of our best
and bravest young men across the
seas to risk death by submarines
and torpedo boats and mines?
And if they escape that, to die in
the trenches? And just suppose
they should escape death in all
those ways and should help the
allies to conquer Germany, when
the spoils were divided, what
would we, what should we get?
We would not want a part of the
German Empire, nor a part of
colonial possessions in Africa.
What would we get out of such a
course? Regardless of where our
sympathies lie, we cannot agree
with the brave kickers and paper
heroes that we should declare
War on Germany. It is a case
were we have all to lose and
nothing to gain, and the hot-heads
who are demanding a declaration
of War would hide under the bed
if war were declared. Woodrow
Wilson has looked the matter full
in the face, and his course is that
of a sane, considerate President
who loves his country and
countrymen.
The temptation is to leave work
and go fishing.

***Editorial - War
It seems that all danger of war
with Germany has passed. This is
as it should be. Looking the
situation in the face, measuring
all distance, sounding all depths
and heights, we can see no reason
for war. When, where, why and
how should we fight Germany.
She is there, we are here. For
more than twenty months, nations
living right in German’s front,
side and back doors, have been
battering away with huge armies
and big guns, trying to force,

***Good Improvements
The present town board, or board
of trustees, is doing some fine
work and in the nature of things
(not human nature) is entitled to
some praise. The many gutters
and ditches have been opened,
crushed stone is bring placed
upon the streets and many new
concrete sidewalks are being
constructed.
We love to sing the praises of
those who deserve praise, and in
this instance feel that our board of
trustees should have a few words
of commendation.
The world has a way of cursing a
man as he is alive and then
praising him as long as he is dead,
or at least until his memory has
passed from the mind of the
oldest citizen, and faded out of
the pages of local history.

his departure, and as for “Johnny

what he will or will not do. He

“Teddy or the Runaways” sure
made the people a pleasant
evening. The show was fine and
the actors were hard to beat.
Texana was complimented on all
sides and all were given the
highest praise. We heard some
one remark that the ladies
rendered their parts better than
the men, and another said that
was to be expected, for when they
took part in anything together, the
ladies most always come out
ahead. It was a man who said it,
too. The crowd was large and
about $57 was taken in. The

***Echovale
The Log House in the Kentucky
Hills.
I close my eyes to dream again of
the old school house among the
hills and memory brings back the
joyous faces of those whom I
loved as school master there. The
Page 17
merry romping Sarah, whose
heart was gentler and better than
her manners, the face of the
gentle Ella, who has long lain in
her grave, leaving three
motherless babes, the bright smile
of the red-headed James, who was
ever my favorite of the boys, and
last but not least, the manly young
teacher, who was only eighteen at
the time, and whom more than
half the girls were in love with.
The shady grove on the hillside
are fresh in my memory yet and I
fancy I can hear again the merry
laughter of the children at play.
All have gone now, some the “the
silence of the dreamless dust”,
some to foreign lands, some have
gained fame and fortune, others
still plod on the same old farms of
their fathers as happy perhaps as
those out in the world battling for
an uncertain hold on Fame.
Our teacher is now a husband and
father. He has left the log
schoolhouse many years behind
and has held responsible and
important offices and is an ardent
temperance worker, still teaching
the principles of honor and truth
as he did in his school. Sarah,
who always vowed to never
marry, is the wife of a prosperous
farmer and the mother of a
beautiful girl. She wrote me once,
on the eve of her marriage, “You
know that we always said we
never would marry and I thought
I meant it, but the right one had
never come. He has come for me
now and I hope will for you some
day.” (And he did)
I found my happiness for many
years in the instruction and care
of little children, for I was a
“Kentucky school Ma’am” and
their lives are to my mind, as
noble and self-sacrificing as any
Sister of Charity. I am not
speaking of the girls who took up
teaching as a means of buying
finery until they marry, but of the
devoted class of women who give
all their best years to the work,
with heart and soul. The world
calls them “old maids”. I call
them “God’s Mothers”, for next
to the joy of having your own
baby’s arms about your neck, is
the joy of leading other little one
“aright and gaining their love”.
Kentucky teachers and schools
have been decried by those of
more fortunate States in
educational matters, but from the
log school-houses have come
forth earnest, pure-souled men
and women of whom the world
needs more. They know not so
many of the “ologies and isms” of
higher education but they had
what is the “peach of great price”
in their lives - Truth and Honor.
When the call for great leaders
comes, they do not come from the
city, but have had rugged
character developed among the
hills.
I believe God calls his leaders
like the hills and the valleys ....
David, the Shepherd of old.
The log school house is passing
away, giving us as we believe and
trust, better things yet to us of that
generation, even though we set
our faces towards progress for the
sake of our children, it is a joy to
recall those days, when Nature
was ever entrammeled (sic) by the
thoughts of Greed and Gold, as is
so much today.
New occasions teach new ....
Time makes ancient good .....
We must upward still and
upward. Who would keep abreast
of Truth.

***The Sage of Bullitt
When I was practicing horse
medicine with my partner, Doc
Smith, I got all stuck up and
wouldn’t speak to John Quick and
such fellows, but I could not get
along with Doc, and had to
dissolve the partnership and now
I speak to just anybody.
It is human to be that way. When
a man is riding on the top crest of
prosperity’s waves, he just
naturally has a swelled head, but
when he loses out and begins to
look a little common, his head
dwindles down at a terribly rapid
Page 20
rate.
It’s a far cry from chicken and
French rolls to corn bread and
molasses. Speaking of Doc Smith
reminds me of what a fellow said
last week, but I can not say it in
print, for Uncle Sam might send
after me.
For the past few days, I have been
Superintending. Just
superintending, that’s all. Jay has
been doing the work while I
superintended. It is much easier to
superintend than work, and I have
been conversant with that fact for
years.
Hez McKinney was great on
superintending, and I think I
caught it from him, for he had a
bad case of it, sure.

here, but she is not satisfied with
only a four year high school
course for her preparation for life,
so she expects to enter college
next year. We wish all our
beautiful young ladies were so
ambitious for a good education.
The subject of her graduating
oration is “The Happy Home.”

children we extend our deepest
sympathy. The loss of a mother

Mrs. Finetta Weller, wife of
George W. Weller, died at the
family home in this place last
Wednesday evening after an
illness of ten days. The direct
cause of her death was a stroke of
paralysis which she sustained
about ten days ago.
Mrs. Weller was about 69 years
of age. She was married to G. W.
Weller about four years ago.
Before her last marriage, she was
the widow of the late Samuel
Shepherd, who died about ten
years ago. Mrs. Weller is survived
by her husband and the following
children: Herman Shepherd, of
this county; Mrs. Ida Bishop,
Mrs. Warren Foster and Casper
Shepherd, of Louisville, and R. A.
Shepherd, of Chicago. She is also
survived by one brother, Dr. John
H. Shafer, of this place and many
grand children.
The death of Mrs. Weller
removes from our midst a good
wife, mother, neighbor and friend.
In her home she was industrious,
affectionate and faithful. She was
a loving and indulgent mother,
Her remains will be buried in

On the evening of May 12, the
citizens of Shepherdsville and
community met in the Big
Gymnasium of the High School
Building to participate in the
grand reception given by the
Normal Class of 1916.
On entering, one was thrown into
raptures over the decorations,
which consisted of ferns, pot
plants, smilax and snowballs and
the bright faces and charming
manners of the young teachers.
Promptly at 8 o’clock every one
was called to order by Prof.
Sanders and formed into line for a
Grand March, after which there
were contests of various kinds.
Skip, the old fashioned “Skip to
My Lou” and Virginia Reel.
Names of winners on contests are
Mrs. Lora Bates 1, Robert Barger
1, and Miss Lounette Stansbury 2.
A bounteous repast of cream,
cake, fruit and punch, which
added greatly to the enjoyment of
the occasion, was served at 11
o’clock. After this, addresses
were made to the class, which
represented Jefferson, Taylor,
Hardin, Marion, Casey and Bullitt
Counties in the following: Messrs
Carroll, McCormick, Ridgway,
Glenn, Smith, Maraman, Cochran
and Dr. Bates.
It was with a feeling of regret that
they all said good-bye, but went
away singing praises to Prof.
Sanders and his Normal Class.
Your humble writer has but one
more thing to say and that is this:
This Normal School does not only
add to educational interests but it
helps our town financially by
bringing money to the town that
would otherwise go elsewhere
and we, as citizens, should keep
our shoulders to the wheel and
help make it one of the best in the
State.

***Catarrh Most Prevalent Here
Probably the most distressing and
prevalent disease to which
Americans are heirs is catarrhal
affection of mucours (sic)
membranes. According to the
medical authorities, the indoor
worker is more susceptible and is
the worse sufferer from catarrhal
conditions, of which there are
may kinds.
Catarrh of the stomach and
kidneys is one of the most
common causes of dyspepsia and
Bright’s Disease, and catarrhal
conditions of the nose and throat
often lead to deafness. Nine out
of ten cases of deafness can to
traced to catarrh, it is said.
Frequently, the lungs become
affected by the extension of
catarrhal inflammation by way of
the bronchial tubes to the lung
substance.
The mental and physical state of
the catarrh sufferers is, indeed,
very unfortunate, and it is
surprising to know what an
immense number of people
among those who reside in such
cities as Shepherdsville, Ky are
suffering from this almost
universal malady when they
believe something else is the
cause of their trouble.
The symptoms of catarrh are
offensive breath, constant
sniffling, discharge from the nose,
headaches, full head, pains in the
stomach, unsound digestion, loss
of appetite, broken sleep, and a
great liability to catching colds
and sore throats.
Page 22
Tanlac, the general reconstructive
tonic, was designed to relieve just
these conditions. Thousands of
men and women have
unhesitatingly acknowledged the
benefits they have derived
through this Master Medicine.
Tanlac restores lost appetite,
relives sniffling, discharge from
the nose, headaches, and stomach
pains and will assist in the
assimilation of food and bring
back sound sleep, according to
thousands who have realized the
benefits from this wonderful
preparation.
Tanlac is a tonic of rare
properties, an appetizer and
general invigorant designed to rid
the system of congestion, tone up
t h e s t o m a c h, o v e r c o me
indigestion, headaches,
backaches, nonassimilation of
food, nervousness, dizziness,
ailments of the kidneys and liver,
and the complaints that are so
common to the half-sick
debilitated men and women of
today.
Tanlac may be obtained now in
Shepherdsville, Ky at the
Troutman Bros. Drug Store,
where it is being especially
introduced and its merit explained
by the Tanlac Man.
Tanlac may be obtained in the
following near-by towns. Mt.
Washington - The Cyclone Store;
Lebanon Junction - Murray &
Jenkins; Boston - Boston Drug
Co.; Colesburg - Brain & Padgett;

trustees have shown good
judgment. Our school is our
biggest and best asset. From a
broad view point, it is worth more
to our community than any store
or business house in the entire
district. It draws people to our
town and benefits everybody. In
order to have a good school, there
must be good streets leading to it.
No parent wants his children to
wade through seas of water and
acres of mud in order to attend
school.
When this street is completed and
a concrete walk constructed, the
approaches to our school will be
first class and that is as it should
be. Our trustees have shown fine
judgment in this improvement,
and no man with good judgment
can censure them for having made
the move.

The above is not the name of a
new mule liniment, nor is the
name of some Hawaiian society
queen, but just the name of a dog.
It is the cognomen of a bluish
black dog which Clarence
Holsclaw and Charles Shoptaw
imported from Rabbit Hash,
Indiana. It is a mole killer. It does
a truck raiser good to see that dog
after a mole. As above stated, the
dog is of a bluish black color,
with pale yellow ears and a
lavender effect under each eye,
with pink taffeta splotches on his
left legs; sharp pointed wasp
colored tail and right legs slightly
showing the tiger tawn. Dog has a
powerful appetite and not the
least bit inclined to mince - just
swallows the whole outfit.
Besides hunting moles, this dog
will tree squirrels, fight
groundhogs, chase rabbits and eat
grapevines.

Mrs. Nancy Ann Ratliff (nee
Mumphrey) wife of the late Chas.
Ratliff passed out of this life
suddenly Monday, May 29, 1916
at 3 o’clock a.m. of organic heart
trouble at the home of her son,
Chas. Ratliff, of this place, of
whom she has been visiting the
past week, her home being at
Cane Springs. Mrs. Ratliff was
born August 30, 1948, being 67
years, 8 months and 22 days of
age and was married to Chas.
Ratliff Feb. 22, 1874. To this
union were born six children, five
boys surviving her. They are
Conrad Ratliff, of Ripley,
Mississippi, Frank, Coleman, Gus
and Roy Ratliff, all of Cane
Springs, Ky. May God bless the
heart broken boys as mother was
always delighted in all that made
them happy and another link has
been snapped from the golden
chain. One member has left the
family circle to return no more
and another chair is forever
vacant and beyond the dark tides
of the mystic river, her spirit is at
rest. Besides her five sons, she is
survived by two sisters, Mrs. Geo.
West, of Springfield, Ky and Mrs
Nelse Hardin, of Loretto, Ky.
Nine Grandchildren and a host of
loving friends to mourn her loss.
The last services were conducted
by Rev. McCormick Wednesday,
May 31st and she was peacefully
laid to rest in the family burying
ground near Will Shaw’s of near
Cane Springs, Ky.
Last Saturday, May 26, 1916 at
7:30 a.m., the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Tom Hibbs was visited by
the death angel and claimed its
own their beautiful and sweet
little babe, Tommie Lee, of whom
was just awakeni ng to a
consciousness of those who loved
him so dearly, but was taken
away so quickly from the bosom
of those into whose lives he was
so tenderly loved and cherished.
While its loving mother was on a
short errand to a near neighbor,
Mrs. W. H. Nusz, the child made
its way through the foot of the
bed in which it had been sleeping.
Unfortunately, he got his body
through the place, but was unable
to get his dear little head through
and thus hang in that position
until found by his heart broken
mother. We cannot understand
why this little one was taken from
the home in which he was so
dear, but our lovingly Heavenly
Father deemed it best in his
infinite wisdom to call this little
“Rose Bud” home. Tommie Lee
was born September 25, 1915,
being 8 months and 2 days old.
He is survived by his heart broken
parents, one little sister, both
grandmothers and grandfathers
and several aunts and uncles,
besides being loved by so many
other folks. All was done to bring
him back to his life but was in
vain. So weep not for little
“Sonny”, he will be a bright
shining angel in the resurrection
morn. Sunday at 11 o’clock,
funeral services were conducted
by Rev. McCormick at Cedar
Grove, after which he was laid to
rest in that cemetery to meet his
loved ones.

Death has again invaded our
community, taking away with him
this time, the sixteen month old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Gaddie. She died at 2:30 p.m.
Saturday, June 3rd , and was laid to
rest in Vine Hill Cemetery the
following day. Little Teresa May
just lingered long enough to
entwine herself about the
heartstrings of her parents, but
though the cords are broker here,
yet she is only one more treasure
laid up in heaven where neither
moth nor rust does corrupt nor do
thieves break through to steal.
The parents have our sympathy.

W. F. Monroe, while out hunting
last week met a big rattler. Frank
says it came on to meet him when
he took aim and shot nearly half

***Base Ball
The best game of base ball ever
seen in that part of the county was
played last Sunday in the
beautiful Shady Grove park a few
miles below Belmont when the
local boys played Bill Troll’s
youngsters from Fancy.
The players on both sides were
pretty evenly matched, the
pitching and catching being the
features.
This was the first game of a series
to be played between these teams.
The second will be played next
Sunday, June 18th, at Mr. Troll’s
farm near Cedar Grove and a big
crowd will no doubt be on hand to
pull the Leaches Athletics out in
the lead.
The line up was as follows:
One team - Barger, Herps, Barger,
Ridgway, H. Roby, Shepherd, Ira

***Resigns at Attorney
Hon. Charles Carroll has resigned
as attorney for the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad Company to
assist the Attorney General of the
State as special counsel for the
Commonwealth in defending
various suits brought by certain
public service corporations to
prevent the payment by them of
franchise tax assessed against
them by the State Board
Valuation and Assessments. The
suits are pending in the District
Court of the United States for the
Eastern District of Kentucky and
will be taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States for
final determination.
Mr. Carroll was asked to accept
this employment by the Governor
and Attorney General and fit it his
duty as a citizen to aid in the
settlement of the questions
involved, which are of great
importance to the State. He will
continue his general practice as
heretofore.
***Pleasant Grove WMS
The WMS met at Pleasant Grove
Church fourth Thursday in May,
not as many of our members
present as we want to see at our
next meeting. We, as a rule, have
nice crowd of our members at
each meeting. I can answer for
our Society that I know none of
us ever miss a meeting that we
don’t feel that our presence would
have been of a help to the
President and that we have missed
something good which we all
enjoy.
Our week of prayer was indeed
interesting to all who attended,
and was a help to us; makes us
feel as one family in one Home.
Such a Blessed thought to feel at
home in God’s House. Splendid
programs are arranged for each
month by the President. We
enjoyed our Methodist society’s
members attending our prayer
services, will welcome as many of
them to our meeting as can attend.
Our Society pays dues each
month and we have a self denial
which we pay as many of us as
can and feel like a self denial at
such a time is the thing for us to
do. We have used part of our self
denial money to buy some new
Page 40
lamps to light up the choir.
It is such a great thing to be both
willing and able to help in this
great cause. We know how
thankful the Missionaries are for
each gift; also we feel that they
are under such a burden while in
the field. While in conclusion, I
wish to ask all our members to do
their best to be present at our next
meeting. Also, we will be so glad
to have any visitors who can
come with us and feel welcome in
our meeting and get the
inspiration we receive.

***Watterson’s Political Crook
Woodrow Wilson, who was
styled a political crook by Henry
Watterson some four years ago,
will be the only man thought of in
connection with the Presidency at
the St. Louis Convention.
Notwithstanding the hatred and
opposition of Watterson, Mr.
Wilson won the nomination and
the office, then whipped Mr.
Watterson into line, and has done
fairly well. In fact, Mr. Wilson
has done remarkably well; better
in fact than any other man who
has occupied the big chair since
Lincoln sat there.

London, June 11. Germany, up to

German casualty lists given out
here today. The compilation did
not include German losses in

fighting in the German colonies.
***Bullitt Countian wins High
Honors.
Mr. William Funk, son of Judge
A. E. Funk, who has been
attending the Southern Normal, at
Bowling Green, Ky, has won the
$25.00 prize in the declaratory
contest. This is a star in “Bill’s”
crown when you consider that he
has been there but one year, while
the boy who got second prize has
been attending four years.
“Bill” has been the recipient of
many felicitations and
congratulations since his return
home, and has promised in the
near future to deliver his prize
winning declamation to a Bullitt
County audience. When it comes
to speaking, this young man
seems to be a chip off the old
block, and in this instance, if the
stripling can develop into the
speaker that “the old man” has
been and is, then he is destined to
be a good one. We congratulate
Mr. Funk upon his justly won
honors and trust that the future
may have many others in store for
him, for in winning this prize, he
brought honors to his parents, his
native county and himself.
***A Newspaper
What the Democrats of Kentucky
need is a newspaper which
reaches every home. The CourierJournal is too high and the people
will not pay the price, hence they
take the Herald which is cheaper.
By this means, many Democrats
are lead away from Democratic
teachings. If we had a Democratic
paper in Kentucky as cheap as the
Herald, the Democrats would all
take it and drop the Herald. In this
county, the Herald subscribers out
number those of the Courier about
three to one. Then the Courier has
bolted, and that has soured on the
stomachs of many Democrats.
And the attitude of the Courier on
the whiskey question has killed it
out here.

enthusiastic accounts of Billy
Sunday’s great revival in Kansas
City which will close in a few
days. To date, there have been
thirteen thousand conversions,
and more than one million have
listened to the preaching of this
great evangelist. This in one city
and when one considers all that
Billy Sunday has done and will
do, it taxes ones imagination to
the limit.

Kentucky, be it said that betting
on the race has now been

other words. Every Spring and
Fall, thousands of people are
duped into betting on the races,
and as a result, many hundreds of
thousands of dollars are lost.

pride in her musical talents.
Through an oversight, her name
was left out of the list of vocalists

Board of Education,
Shepherdsville Ky. From Mary E.
Collins.
While visiting her
mother and sister in Dawson, she
was offered a position in the
graded school there. The
resignation came as a surprise to
the many friends of Miss Collins,
who has always been regarded as
one of the best all round teachers
ever connected with this school.
Her loss is one that will be hard to
fill. We wish her success at her
new field at Dawson Springs.
(Paraphrased)
The school board met here last
Monday night and elected Miss
Sara Williams, of Spencer
County, who has been teaching
for several years at Hebron and is
a well qualified experienced

valuable help to the school here.

The following day, up at Mr. Will

Cedar Grove, will try Lebanon
Junction at their grounds a few

***Women are winning
At both the Democratic and
Republican conventions, planks
were put into the platforms
favoring women’s suffrage but
declaring that it was a matter for
each State to act upon, and not a
matter for national legislation.
The women are coming to the
front in politics and within the
next ten or twelve years, we
expect to see the fair ones march
up to the polls and cast their
ballots for best dressed, best
looking, sweetest man for the
various offices.
In that day of advanced ideas and
strenuous practices, a man’s
mother-in-law will be some factor
in the political game. If you
should want a fellow to support
you, it would be wise to interview
the better half of your wife’s
father, and let her, in turn,
interview the object of solicitude.
Oh, yes, the world moves apace
and are doing our level best to
keep right up in the vanguard. In
the matter of short dresses, female
voters, ragtime music, dance hall
talk, beeswax brains and all such,
we are coming Father Time, one
hundred million strong.
Seriously, we believe in four
more years, both parties will
come right out in the pike and
declare for woman’s suffrage. It
may not be just what the dear
creatures need; in fact, we do not
believe they will care of it after it
is given them, but it is on the way
and is destined to get in about
1920.

The recent rise in Salt River
injured corn some and for a while
threatened to destroy hundreds of
acres, but the waters subsided just
before the expected high tide
came.
As a rule, Salt River is one of the
most gentle, docile, corn loving,
corn producing streams in the
whole country, but once in a long
while, she dresses up, and “when
she do”, the river bottom farmers
all sit up and take notice.
Our esteemed friend, Robert E.
Lee, son of W. T. Lee, almost
visited Hodgenville Sunday. With
his family, he started for that
place to visit his uncle, William
Miller, and at New Haven, the
rear axle of the auto decided to
break in two and there he was.
Mr. Charles Bridwell was driving
the car, and was going good and it
was no fault of his that the axle
broke off diplomatic relations.
Rob and his family waited at New
Haven until the afternoon and
came down on the old reliable
passenger train and on Tuesday
morning, Dr. Bates went upon the
train and brought the auto home.
Miss Mary Collins, one of the

Lick, Daniel O. Gober will have
charge of the moving picture
department at The Temple. J. F.
Collins, will as usual, have charge
of the ticket window and in
addition to selling tickets, will do
a great deal of smiling. When it
comes to showering smiles on the
whole congregation, leave it to
Jim.
H. H. Combs, known among the
girls of the younger set at “Uncle”
Harry, left for French Lick
Springs last Monday afternoon
where he will loaf for two whole
Page 50
weeks. His is not exactly going to
loaf for he took work enough to
keep him busy for three weeks, so
you can see for yourself that no
alfalfa is going to grow under his
dainty Trilbies. Harry puts in
about seventeen hours at work
each day in the year, at least he
averages that except during his
vacation when he works nineteen
hours per day. He never enjoys
rest unless he is at work and his
only purpose in taking a vacation
is to catch up on his work.
Mrs. O. W. Pearl, who underwent
an operation for goiter recently at
St. Anthony’s Hospital in
Louisville, has returned to her
mother’s home at Nolin and while
she is yet far from being well,
hopes are now entertained for her
ultimate recovery.

***Old Hickory Chips
In 1916 Europe may again
discover America.
Greece ought to try a little selfgovernment for a change.
Preparedness is having an
umbrellas at each end of the day’s
work.
Very often the weather bureau
delivers the rain along with the

Lately, the peach dove has begun
to coo a good deal like a
gamecock.
Certainly, as Mr. Wilson says, the
world is eager for peace, but the
belligerent nations are going to be
extremely coy about confessing it.
Justice Hughes’ latest political
opinions were uttered eight years
ago, and cold storage facilities for
political opinions are peculiarly
inadequate.
The American men who put
Carranza up to it, think they are
worriers of Wilson; but they’re
not. They’re traitors to their
country.
The struggle with selfishness is
the greatest of all conflicts.
The old guard is always prepared
- especially for the worst.
The fact that Chicago hired 100
bands for convention week is no
sign there’ll be any harmony.
But who can blame those Texas
militiamen for refusing to leave
the State with watermelon season
right in the fling?
You needn’t waste too much
sympathy on Mexico. She won’t
have three national conventions
on her hands in one month.
General military training has not
made Switzerland undemocratic,
but more democratic.
If they had the courage of their

would hold a pork parade.
From the busy man’s point of

be a grand daylight saving device.
Many thinking people admire the
title of the League to Enforce
Peace because it sounds like
efficiency.
If Villa were a true patriot, he
would go and occupy his ready

problem.
Besides setting the clock, an
efficient generation should teach
a great conservatism to the
thermometer.
Do you wonder that the
chiropodists are sitting up and
taking notice now that so many
parades are pending?
Now that warring nations have
quit slaughtering neutrals on the
high seas, rifling the mail bags
will also have to stop.
Of course it is possible to mangle
a preparedness parade by staging
a thunderstorm, but genuine
readiness is waterproof.
Those mail seizures meet our idea
of a British offensive.
If peace is on the way, it certainly
won’t be arrested for speeding.
Funny, but the anti-preparedness
folks are still using lightning rods.
Certainly is tough on somebody
to say Dr. Waite was tried by a

June 30, 1916
What’s doing among teachers and
pupils of Bullitt’s many schools.
The
report
from
the
State
Department of Education to this
office which was recently
received shows that Bullitt
County has 420 male voters who
are unable to read or write.
A very conservative estimate
would give these 420 men at least
an offspring of 1,000 boys and
girls, out of only 3,000 in the
county’s census list, and since
fully 50 per cent of illiterate
parents are indifferent about their
children’s education, it would
mean that a united effort should
be made by every intelligent
person to use their influence to
get backward people in school the
coming year.
The June examination for colored
teachers was held at the
courthouse Friday and Saturday
with the following colored
teachers from Louisville present,
L. A. Bourman, Clara Merrifield
and M. E. Jackson.
Katherine Rouse, Dessie and
Claud Harris have returned to
their homes at Solitude after
spending the past year in school
at St. Joseph College and
Nazareth.
The Bullitt County Fair
Association with J. W. Williams,
secretary and J. W. Barrall,
printer, have just gotten out the
22nd annual fair catalogues, which
is the biggest and best catalogues
they have ever had. All teachers
and school children will be given
a free ticket for Wednesday. This
ticket will be sent through your
local sub trustee and must
positively be gotten before you
come to the fair.
All rural teachers are required to
come to the courthouse for their
supplies before they open school
Page 53
as they are too heavy to mail out.
The Bardstown High School gave
an excellent play here Wednesday
night entitled “Diamonds and
Hearts” which was well received
and well attended. The school, as
well as the play, is in charge of
Prof. Nebitt, one of the best
known young educators of the
State.
Miss Mary Hall is the guest of
friends and relatives this week at
Bardstown Junction.
Little Faye Magruder, age 12
years, has in the last 12 or 18
months practically done what no
other child has ever accomplished
and could easily be classed with
the most successful of the
moonlight school instructors.
Fay’s mother has a very bright
colored cook, age 38, who was
entirely illiterate but was quite
anxious to learn, so Fay
conceived the idea of helping the
cause of which she had heard so
much and the result is that Mrs.
Geo. Smith (col.) can now read
and write and was recently
promoted to the 2nd grade
according to the State course of
study.
The teaching has been done of
evenings and the only
compensation Fay has received in
the past two years has been a
considerable number of the very
latest styles of doll make ups.
***Second Annual Picnic
The second picnic given by the
J.O.U.A.M. Council 119 members
in the shady grove near Cedar
Grove was quite a success and an
enjoyable affair to all. Everything
went off nicely with plenty of
good music furnished by Roger
brothers string band. A good floor
for all who wished to enjoy it,
good refreshments, contests and
shade, what more could we ask
for but a good crowd, which was
there to enjoy a pleasant
afternoon.
The ladies took good part in the
contests as well as the men and
below are the names of the
fortunate winners.
William Funk, son of Judge A. E.
Funk will deliver an oration at the
Red Men’s Picnic on the 4th of
July. The title of this oration is
“True American Patriotism” and

of the three debating societies of
the State Normal School at
Bowling Green, Mr. Funk was
awarded first prize on his
masterly delivery of this oration.

***Oration
Upon
special
request,
Mr.
Feeling confident that there is a
spontaneous and universal call for
a reunion at Pitts Point Academy
or what remains of it, of the old
pupils, of the Gwynn Bros., and
as a loving and well deserved
testimonial of our appreciation of
the high character and ideal
service of Rev. W. R. Gwynn,
who has left his impress upon the
minds and hearts of our people
and believing, further, that this
meeting will thrill and inspire the
hearts of every one that followed
his masterful leadership as they
answer this clarion call, and that
it will awaken and stir and leave a
lasting impression on the minds
of our youth and will act as a
stimulus and inspiration to the
schools of our county, We, of
Lebanon Junction School
Improvement League pledged to
the support and promotion of
everything to the betterment of
our school, do hereby launch the
movement calling upon school
and church organization of our
Page 54
county to take steps to further
promotion of the plan and make
this day a memorable one in Old
Bullitt.
Cupid has been busy in our town
and in this one of his off weeks
has set down to his credit four
marriages. Walter Heizer to Miss
Myrtle Leslie, Floyd Bryant to
Miss Ella Blon Leslie, the brides
being sisters, the grooms holding
a David and Johnathan friendship.
Wm. T. Stephenson, our
undefatiguable worker in the
Christian Church, and a fine and
genial bachelor, brought home as
a bride, Miss Bertha Melton, of
Lebanon, KY. Wm. Thomas and
Miss Vivian Johnson, daughter of
the late Dr. Johnson. All four
c o u p l e s ha v e g o n e to
housekeeping. May their home
also be the home of happiness,
peace and prosperity and the
home of the spirit of Christ.
Ben Hays Collings, son of John
H. Collings, of this place, who
has made good in Columbus,
Ohio and holds a lucrative
position in that city, was married
June 27th in Lewisport, Ky to
Miss Bessie Hagden of that place.
The marriage is a culmination of
a courtship beginning during their
college days at State University of
Lexington.
Miss Bessie Craig has returned
from a visit to Irvine, KY
accompanied by her sister, Miss
Nell Craig.
Miss Elizabeth Coy, of
Louisville, is visiting relatives at
this place.
Mrs. Marion Beets, of Louisville,
was in town this week.
***For Sale. Farm of 80 acres, 26
acres for wheat, 8 room frame
house, 3 barns and all necessary
outbuildings, farm implements.
For terms, write Mary A Davis,
3838 South Parkway, Louisville,
Ky.
***Woodrow Wilson and
Thomas Riley Marshall were ReNominated for President and
Vice-President by the Democratic
National Convention at St. Louis.
(Article)
***Good Roads
Good Roads don’t grow on trees,
nor in the cloverfields; they don’t
come from the columns of
newspapers, nor do they fall from
the mouths of orators, but they
come from a combination of labor
and material used in a sensible
manner. You cannot build a road
while sitting around the grocery
stove, but you must go out there
where it is or should be and build
it there.
Unless you have material and
labor, they must be bought and it
requires money to buy them.
Theories do not make as good
roads as crushed stone or gravel
and screenings make a better
crown than editorials. Bullitt
County wants roads, needs roads,
but she must get them in the
regular way. The kind of road she
is after is the rock road, and that
kind of road can only be made of
material which costs money.
When Bullitt County is able to
use every available dollar
judiciously, and in addition can
secure the labor and cooperation
of her citizens, she is sure to have
more good roads than she now
has, but as said in the beginning,
it takes material to build good
roads, and if you have no free
labor to handle the material, then
it must be hired and that requires
money.
***Baseball
Last Saturday, the Shady Grove
team of Belmont played the
strong Lebanon Junction team at
Shady Grove park and with
Hagan pitching for Lebanon
Junction, the score ended as
Lebanon Junction 7, Shady Grove
2. Next Sunday, the well known
“Old Charter” team will play at
Belmont and the following week,
the Belmont team will be at
Chapeze. Both teams have been
playing good ball and these
games should be quite interesting.
***Killing Birds.
It is a crime to kill any kind of
bird except an English sparrow,
and crow, blackbird, punishable
by a heavy fine and it is also a
finable offense for anyone to have
any kind of birds except English
sparrow and crow blackbirds in
their possession or to suffer
anyone under their charge to have
them in their possession.
Parents allowing their children to
have young birds in their
possession can be arrested and
fined.
The officers of the law should see
that the laws against killing and
destroying birds are rigidly
enforced, and they should see that
every bad boy who kills a bird or
breaks up a nest is arrested and
fined.
It there were no birds we could
not live for the millions of insects
which are destroyed by the birds
would destroy all vegetation and
fill us with destructive poisons.
School teachers should instill into
their pupils the high value of our
Page 55
birds and the great sin of killing
them. Above all, the laws should
be rigidly enforced and all boys
and men found destroying birds
should be made to pay the
penalty.

***Notice
clean and cold. Step in and cool
off.
We are informed twenty
ambitious young men have
applied for permission to take the
examination for carrier on RFD
No. one. As but one can get the
place, nineteen are likely to be
slightly disappointed. The RFD is
the place to educate a man after
he thinks he is educated.
After he has faced rainstorms and
snowstorms and storms of wrath
and hath fought dogs and run
from dogs, and frozen into a
chunk of human ice every other
day in the winter, and been
roasted by the fiery sunshine of
summer; after he has plodded
along through oceans of tough
mud for seven months out of
twelve, and been smothered to
death by the dust the other five
months, he begins to see that his
lot is not a bed of roses. He
realizes that he is earning his
coin.
***Lord Loveland Discovers
America. Penniless Nobleman
seeking fortune has many and
varied experiences in America.
Many and strange were the
adventures that befell Lord
Loveland, scion of a famous
English family, when finding
himself penniless on rising one
morning, donned his monocle and
pair of spats and with as much
money as he could borrow, set
sail for the land of opportunity.
Lord Loveland comes primed for
an altogether different American
than he finds. He has the notion
that all the heiresses will fall for
his title and that the hotels and
restaurants and banks will stand
waiting to give him credit. And
why should not he believe they
would? His mother had said that
they would before he left good
old England.
There has never been play
presented in picture, perhaps,
which possesses so much wit and
humor as Lord Loveland’s
conquest of America.
This famous moving picture
comedy will be presented at the
Masonic Temple, Tuesday night,
July 4 th.
A v e r y i nt e r es t i n g a nd
entertaining musical program has
been arranged as a part of this
show, consisting of vocal solos,
duets and quartets by local and
outside talent.
All of this has been done without
increasing the price of admission
which is 5 and 10 cents.

***Miss Mary Collins
Her departure deeply regretted.
T h e a n n o u n ce m e n t in
“Educational Jottings” in last
week’s issue of Pioneer-News
that this excellent teacher and
accomplished young lady had
severed her connection with our
Graded School came as a surprise
and caused deep regret to a host
of friends and well wishers in this
community. During the three
years she has taught here, she has
been an almost universal favorite
Page 58
with her pupils, their parents and
our citizens generally. In social
circles and church work, her
presence was ever for good,
upbuilding and uplifting. Her
absence will cause a vacuum to
those circles as well as in the
hearts and homes of her host of
friends and admirers here that
will be hard to fill. Where ever
her lot is cast, the prayers and
good wishes of many friends and
admirers here will follow for her
future success and happiness.
We trust that the school trustees
will find some good lady, equally
competent, to fill her place in the
school and in the hearts of her
former devoted pupils.

Skies”, which was recently shown
at the Fraternal Hall here and is
one of the best and cleanest
motion pictures that we have ever
seen.
Nearly $50 worth of advanced
tickets have already been sold and
that community should turn out to
help in so worthy a cause.
***Homecoming, Baptists
T h e B a p t i s t Ch u r ch i n
Shepherdsville plans to begin
their revival meeting on July 23rd ,
with Roll Call and Home Coming
for all the members of the church.
All who can possibly do so are
requested to be present at 9:30 for
the Sunday school. Then at 11
o’clock, the roll of the church
membership will be called. Every
member is expected to respond.
Those who are sick or live so far
away that they cannot come
should write to the Pastor or to
some other member of the church
living close by, and these
statements will be read when the
names are called.
At the close of the morning
service, dinner will be served on
the lawn close by the church. Let
everybody bring a dinner bucket
who can, and all are invited to
stay and enjoy the dinner with us.
Further information will be given
in regard to the dinner by the
women of the church.
Immediately after the dinner, we
will go back into the church for
another service of prayer and
reconsecration in preparation for
our revival. We also hope to have
a large crowd for that evening
session.
Remember the day, July 23rd . The
meeting will continue for two

charge of the choir and the
singing and the Pastor will do the
preaching.

Germans south of the Somme
over approximately six miles has
fallen into the hands of the French
who have also captured the
village of Hem, near the northern
extremity of their line and have
completed their conquest of
Estrees.
The British line has apparently
failed to advance, “except
slightly, in certain sectors” as the
British War Office puts it.
The number of German prisoners
reported by the British and
French has reached about 16,000
while the German casualties have
been unofficially estimated at
60,000.

***Reunion at Pitts Point
For all the pupils who attended
school there.
Some time ago, an article
appeared in the columns of this
paper in regard to holding a
reunion at Pitts Point. Since then,
several of the students have
written or seen me in person and
asked me what had been done and
to encourage it all I could.
We wish to say to Prof. Gwynn
and all his pupils that the columns
of the paper are open and would
be glad to hear from any of the
pupils and publish any suggestion
that they would make as it would
be nice for all the pupils who are
living to meet and spend a day
together.
Let us hear from you and when
you want to hold the reunion, and
we will be glad to do anything we
.. to have all spend a pleasant day
at the grand old school building
once more where you spent some
of your pleasant days with Prof.
Gwynn and the teachers of that
grand old school.
***The Finger of Scorn
Will be presented by Mt.
Washington talent at Fraternal
Hall, Friday night, July 14th.

Washington several weeks ago

Page 62
the best plays ever seen in

***Baseball
The Elizabethtown team played
Lebanon Junction strong team at
the Junction July 1 st with the
following score. Elizabethtown 11, Lebanon Junction 12.
The following day, the Old
Charter team played at Shady
Grove Park, near Belmont and
both sides played a very poor
game. The score Old Charter - 18,
Shady Grove - 16.
July 9th, the Belmont team will
play at Chapeze and a better game
will no doubt be played.
The game that attracted the most
attention and one that could be
classed with the best among
amateurs was played here July 4 th
through the efforts of the Red
Men assisted by Claud Hill and
Dr. Ridgway.
The opponents were the well
known Schuster Bros. of
Louisville, Ky, one of the best
teams playing independent ball in
the city. The score and line up
follows: Hagan, Wiendell, Ice,
McCoy, Lee, Lewis, Viers, (can’t
read) & looks like Hardy & Troll
VS Smith, Durbin, Bibee, Wood,
Logsdon, Willett, Ernst, Hahn,

dates of the various seasons are

Clerks in the State.
***Swat that Fly
The housefly is here in numbered
m i l l i o n s , swarming ove r
everything and into everything.
Now is the time to start the
crusade against them and every
citizen should feel it his duty to
the public welfare to swat as
many of them as possible. Lime,
carbolic acid and other
disinfectants should be used
wherever there are breeding
places for the flies, and other
death-dealing precautions should
be taken at once. Now is the time
to start the fight on Mr. Fly.
***No War at Present with
Mexico.
The latest note from General
Carranza pleases President.
Early resumption of friendly
diplomatic conversations with the
de facto Government of Mexico
to the end that the peace and
order may be restored in Northern
Mexico and along the border is
expected to be the next step of the
United States in its deliberations
with its Southern neighbor. The
crisis precipitated by Villa’s raid
o n C o l u m b u s , NM a n d
culminating in the fight at
Carrizal, (?) Mexico, between
American and Mexican troops,
appeared last night to have been
dissipated by an amicable note
from Gen. Carranza presented by
his Ambassador designate, Eliseo
Arredondo. The note proposes
that the differences between the
Governments be settled by
m e d i a t i o n o r b y d i re c t
negotiations. It is remarkable for
its brevity and its restrained and
friendly tone.

***Rail from New York to
Buenos Ayres (sic)
As a result of the trip of Secretary
McAdoo through the South
American countries, made with a
view of still further promoting the
rapidly growing trade between us
and those countries, the
suggestion has been made that a
railroad be constructed “From
New York to Buenos Ayres (sic)”
Argentina, South America. This
road will be 10,500 miles long,
and of this distance, only 2,700
miles will need to be built as the
existing lines already cover nearly
8,000 miles of this great distance.
The cost of supplying the missing
links of railroad will only be
about $150,000, which will be
less than one third of what the
Panama Canal has cost us, and
will the most wonderful
undertaking ever recorded in the
commercial world.
The idea took like wildfire by
businessmen all over the country,
as it will be wonderful promoter
of Commerce between North and
South America to have this great
double track railroad whereby
goods can be shipped by quick
route from one continent to the
other.

***Flies avoid blue.
A French scientist is authority for
the statement that flies have a
distinct abjection to the color of
blue. This was first discovered by
a farmer who keeps a large
number of cows in several sheds.
One of the sheds happened to be
painted blue on the inside, and in
this shed, the cows were little
troubled by flies. He blued all the
walls and thus protected all his
cows. French farmers in the
vicinity are now adding blue
coloring to their whitewash. The
formula is as follows: To twenty
gallons of water, add two pounds
of slack lime and one pound of
ultramarine. The walls are tinted
twice during the summer.

July 12, 1916
Thru the courtesy of our
congressman, Hon. Ben Johnson,
this office has received the
following, which will no doubt be
of interest to most of our teachers
and scholars throughout the entire
county as well as every citizen
who loves his State for what it has
done at home and abroad.
Kentucky, famed far and near for
its contributions to political
history, the arts, sciences,
literature and the wars in which
the United States have been
involved, nowhere shines with
greater brilliancy t han in
connection with its record for
furnishing big men to serve in
high executive positions when
strong men were needed.
Few of the present day
Kentuckians know anything of the
early day political history of their
State and the following
information; never before
published gives details from
Washington’s administration
down. Kentucky, to its credit, has
furnished the Federal Government
two vice-presidents, two
Secretaries of State, four
Secretaries of the Treasury, One
S e cretary o f W a r , f o ur
Postmasters General, four
Attorneys General. Kentucky’s
part in furnishing among its
delegation in Congress many of
the most brilliant men who have
ever served in that body are well
known.
John J. Crittenden - Under
administration of Millard
F i l l m o r e. C o m m i s s i o n ed
September 1, 1851 to serve
temporarily while holding the
position of Attorney General,
during the illness of Secretary of
Daniel Webster. Mr. Crittenden’s
service in the office of Secretary
of State covering but one or two
months. Secretary Webster died,
however, October 24, 1852.
In addition to the men in high
Executive position provided by
Kentucky, the state may also lay
claim to the greatest President of
the United States, Abraham
Lincoln, as he was born in Larue
County, although elected from
Illinois as chief executive.
J a m e s Guthrie - Und er
Administration of Franklin
Pierce. Commissioned March 7,
1853, served until March 6, 1857.
The Vice Presidents from
Kentucky of the United States and
details of their service follow:
Richard M. Johnson - Under
administration of Martin Van
Buren. Term of service from
March 4, 1837 to March 4, 1841.
John C. Breckenridge, under
a d mi n i s t r a t i o n of Jame s
Buchanon. Term of service from
March 4, 1857 to March 4, 1861.
Those Kentuckians who have
held cabinet positions and details
of their service as follows:

Bu chanon. C o m m i s s i o n ed

March 6, 1861.
Henry S. Breckenridge of
Kentucky is the present First
Assistant Secretary of War under

Jefferson, being the first
Kentuckian to serve in the cabinet
Page 68

December 14, 1806.

a d m i n i s t r a t i on o f Jame s
Buchanon. Commissioned March
14, 1859 served until January 1,
1861. He retired to become
Secretary of Ware.
I t m a y b e s u g g e s t ed
p ar e n t h e t i c a l l y t h a t in
congressional and other public
life, Kentuckians have added
glory to the fame of their State;
the present Speaker of the House
of Representatives, Champ Clark,
of Missouri, having been born in
Kentucky, and the present
majority floor leader of the House
and the senatorial nominee from
Alabama, Oscar Underwood,
have been born in Kentucky.
In addition, Kentucky has
furnished 109 governors of states
other than Kentucky, a record
without parallel.
***The Slogan
The origin of the phrase, “pretty
women, fast horses and good
whiskey” used to describe
Kentucky’s famous products, is
said to belong to Fielding
Merrifield, a Representative in
the Legislature from Nelson
County, who served during the
Forties.
It was early in the session and
Merrifield had offered his first
bill and had taken his seat when a
prominent Whig leader from the
mountains inquired who the
gentleman was who had offered
the bill and where he hailed from.
Quick as a flash, the Nelson
County solon was on his feet and
looking toward his colleague, he
said:
“Mr. Speaker, it is with pleasure
that I arise to enlighten the
gentleman from where the
atmosphere lends strength to all
so fortunate as to hail from that
section of our Commonwealth,
where the thrushes mellow notes
can be heard from sunrise to
sunset; where the huckleberry and
wild grape vines are a distinct
part of nature’s production, and
where delightful breezes fan the
brow of the weary traveler; but,
Mr. Speaker, I live in a section of
Dear Old Kentucky where we
have a abundance of pretty
women, fast horses and good
whiskey; where on every side can
be observed waving bluegrass and
growing crops and there are no
weeds or briars to contend with
and, Mr. Speaker, for the
enlightenment of the gentleman
from the hill tops, I subscribe my
self as his truly, Fielding
Merrifield, Esquire.
Mr. Merrifield’s tribute to his
country made him famous and the
phrase he coined on that occasion
will live long after he is forgotten.

dog snapped him or just hit the
dog in the mouth. The wound was
so deep that it bled. This
happened Tuesday and the dog

man left Saturday for Bowling
Green to be treated.

***Poem
In loving remembrance of Gladys
Harris, who departed this life two
years ago July 7, 1914.
Dear Gladys, thou has left us, just
two years ago today, But, God, he
knows best and took you away.
O, baby Gladys, how we miss
thee, We miss thee in our sight,
We even miss you when we are
asleep at night.
Your little life was very sweet,
and Loved by everyone, And God
loved you, too, and beckoned you
to come.
We know you are an angel and
God, you are nigh. And every
night we pray to meet you in the
sweet bye and bye.
Mother & Father.

***The Deutschland
One of the most sensational
features of the war was the arrival
at Baltimore recently of the
German su b m a r i n e boat,
Deutschland, directly f rom
Bremen with a cargo of dye stuffs
and other very valuable goods of
300 or 400 tons. The boat was
entirely unarmed and declared by
U. S. Custom official to be
strictly a merchant vessel and
entitled to such privileges. She
made the trip in 14 days, avoiding
the English blockade and
claiming to have come through
the English Channel, running
under the English fleet. The
Germans claim that quite a fleet
of these merchant submarines is
being built in Germany and that
they will soon be making regular
trips between U.S. and German
ports, delivering dye stuffs and
other high priced freight badly
Page 75
needed here and heretofore
prevented by the English
blockade. The Deutschland is
reported to have discharged her
cargo at Baltimore and have reloaded with nickel and rubber,
articles badly needed in Germany
and to be about ready for her
return trip. It will be a hazardous
and dangerous one and if
s u cces s f u l l y m a d e , an
achievement wonderful in naval
history.

***The War in Mexico
War clouds that hung so heavily
and ominously over the strife
worn, bandit ridden, ignorant and
degraded land, especially along
the northern and American
border, since the last note from
General Carranza, have rolled
away, or seem so as far as the
American soldiers are concerned.
Carranza seems to have realized
two facts, that it would have been
better for him to have realized
long ago:
One is that President Wilson is a
man of his word and means what
he says in his assertion that he
will stand for no more raiding
along the border or slaughter of
American citizens residing there.
The other is the standard of
“truth” is much higher in the
United States than Mexico and
honesty the same.
It took the calling to arms of over
a hundred thousand troops of the
National Guard, and the
concentration of a large portion of
same along the border to drive
into his thick head the fact that
President Wilson would stand no
more his bullying and broken
promises, and that he was in a fair
way to get a good sound
thrashing. Realizing these facts,
he seems to have gone to work in
earnest to suppress brigandage.
W e d n e s d a y ’ s d i s p a t ch e s
announce the defeat of two bands
of Villa’s bandits by Carranza
soldiers. If the Carranzistas will
keep up that sort of work until
there is some protection for life
and property of Americans and
other foreigners in Mexico, they
will realize that they can get rid
of the American soldiers much
easier and more quickly than by
trying to drive them out.
Verdun, the strong fortress near
the eastern French border. They
claim some successes, but seem to
have made no permanent gains so
far, and the French assert they are
holding their own. Along other
sections of the trench lines, the
British and French have made
decided gains, having driven the
Germans back on fronts of from 8
to 20 miles in length and from 1
to 6 miles deep. The Russians still
claim big gains along the eastern
front and to be within 20 miles of
Kovel, a vital point in the Austro
German Lines, which if captured,
will necessitate immediate
withdrawal or surrender of large
numbers of their troops. The
Russians claim to have captured
over 270,000 Austrian and
German troops since their
advance began.

responsible for his acts. The lad
had never attended school at
Beech Grove, could scarcely read
his own name and had been
deserted by his parents a few
years ago. For this and his age,
the courts was very lenient, but
gave him a good lecture,
admonishing him that a repetition
meant the placing in the Kentucky
School of Reform until he was 21
years of age.

Judge Funk’s court Monday for

Most of our citizens, especially
the well informed, think well of
the new compulsory school law
and of the attitude of the offices
toward it, knowing that German,
Denmark and even States in our
own Union have shown how
beneficial it is to the whole
people, but to the “knocker” and
men who is opposed to any
reforms, we print a letter from
Frankfort which shows just where
we are “at”. Kindly read it and
then lift your voice for a law that
will mean more to the citizenship
of this county than all the
political platforms ever written.
Supt. Ora L. Roby
My Dear Superintendent:
I’m writing to you in regard to the
per capita for this year, which has
been declared to be $5.10. This
compels us to have a seven
months term. My ideal for the
country school is an eight months
term to be divided into two
sections - five and three months
each, four and four each, or all
consecutively as the local
conditions may demand.
You, by virtue of your office, are
the educational leader of your
county and the State Department
wants to cooperate with you and
be as helpful as possible. We
suggest that three things be
emphasized this year in your
county schools.
First, attendance. We have found
that your county, had in 1915,
3001 children, and had an average
attendance of 1,448, making the
per cent of attendance, 46, which
is below the State’s average of 48
per cent. I am sorry to note that
Page 81
you did not reach the average and
yet the State’s average is not
nearly high enough. You have this
year, 3,148 pupil children. I am
asking that, if possible, you to
increase this average attendance.
I note also in your county you
have 35 illiterates between the
ages of ten and twenty. Have your
teachers go after these, as far as
possible.
The second matter I would
suggest is that you hold a close
supervision over your teachers
and eliminate from your teaching
corps all unworthy teachers. One
of the crying needs of our system
is teachers of character.
The third matter is the reading
circle. I am going to suggest that
your County Board under the
head of preparation, give a
premium of one or two dollars per
months salary to the teachers
thoroughly completing the
Reading Circle course. You know
there are three main methods of
training teachers. The State
National Schools, the Institute
and the Reading Circle.
Fully expecting your hearty
cooperation to make this the best
school year we have had in the
State and pledging you the
sympathetic, helpful cooperation
of the State Department, I remain,
Your truly, V. O. Gilbert. State
Supt.
The above 46% we made, of
course on all who attended rural,
graded and high schools as well
as those who attended private
schools and high schools or
colleges out of the county.
Where were the other 54% and
where do you want them this
year?
***Rock Pile
Elvin Doutaz, town Marshal of
Lebanon Junction, and one of the
best officers we have ever seen,
arrested two bootleggers at his
town Saturday night for selling
whiskey.
County Attorney Bradbury had
them arraigned before Judge Funk
Monday, who assessed a $60 fine
and cost against each and they are
now along with 5 or 6 other
prisoners building roads for our
county at the cost of their board
only.
This is done as quite a savings to
the road funds as road hands are
now very scarce and the price of
labor high.
***Parents Fined
The School Board at their last
regular meeting asked that
summons be issued against a
number of families to appear
before Judge Funk and show
cause why they were not sending
their children to school.
The case was set for last Monday
and the following were fined
$5.00 each and costs.
Buck Hickerson, of the Pitts Point
Area.
Jack Stovall of Beech Grove.
P. T. Price, of Hobbs.
Several other cases were
postponed upon a promise to
Judge Funk that they had now
started their children and would
continue to send them regularly
and if this order is not complied
with, each case is to be reinstated
at any time during the term.
The present law is an amendment
to the 1908 school law and gives
the court the power to collect
fines and costs as in all other
cases and since nearly 65 per cent
of the children in this county did
not attend school last year, we
congratulate the court and those
in authority for prompt action in
these and all other cases.
***A Card of Thanks
We wish to thank our many
friends who were so faithful
during the sad death of our son.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Perkins.
***Minutes of W C T H
Lebanon Junction, Kentucky.
The fourth quarterly W. C. T. H.
Convention of District Four
Division B, comprising the

Creager of Cecelia, Pres.,
presided and on account of the
absence of the secretary, Mrs. L.
Burninger, Mrs. R. G. Hampton
was elected secretary pro tem.
The meeting was opened by
singing song No. 1 in KY Rally
Songs, followed by the devotional
exercises led by Bro. Foster,
pastor of the Christian Church.
After singing, “The Fight is On”,
Bro. Short, evangelist conducting
revival services at the Methodist
Church gave a very helpful talk
on “Temperance Instruction in the
Sunday School”. Bro. Bell, pastor
of the Baptist Church, made
“Bible Teaching and
Temperance” a careful study and
entertained the Union with his
views on this great two-fold
subject.
“The White Ribbon” was sung by
Page 82
the Union after which Bro. Ryan,
pastor of Methodist Church, told
us how we might help State Wide
Prohibition.
A committee on resolutions was
chosen, being Mesdames Duvall,
Carter and Gray. After a
discussion of liquor being shipped
into our town, also on the street
fair. The Union was closed by
prayer by Mr. Harned to meet at
1:30 p.m.
The evening session was called to
order by president. After singing
“When Christians shall vote as
they pray”, Mrs. Duvall, president
of local Union, read Daniel 1:822, after which Bro. Foster lead
our devotional prayer. The
minutes of the morning session
were read by secretary after
which the committee on
resolution reported.
The following resolutions were
submitted:
1. That the legality of shipping of
whiskey into dry territory be
given a careful investigation and
that each (can’t read) of said
condition in its perspective
territory.
2. That we demand that all
candidates for public offices, to
declare themselves in
unmistakable terms as to how
they stand on the liquor question,
we deeming their silence on said
question to be sufficient grounds
for our opposition.
3. That we declare in clear and
positive terms for an amendment
to the constitution which will give
the suffrage of Kentucky to say
whether or not our State will be
Prohibition.
4. That we heartily endorse the
distribution of Educational
Literature on Questions of
Temperance.
5. That we especially tender our
thanks to the ministers of the
various churches for their
presence and assistance with the
Convention. We most especially
thank Bro. Ryan, pastor of the
M.E. Church and Evangelist
Short for discontinuing their
morning service in favor of our
convention.
Miss Le Goodwin read an
interesting paper on “Narcotic
Habits” after which an open
discussion was conducted on the
topic by the Union. “How to
increase our membership” was
discussed in a round table
conference and several new
members were added.
“Stand Up for Prohibition” was
our closing hymn after which Bro.
Bell closed the Union with
Prayer.

Postmaster General will appoint
him.

***Revival Closes
The Revival at the Baptist Church
conducted by the Pastor, Rev.
Combs, closed Sunday night.
Several additions were added to
the church by letter and Baptism.
Rev. Combs is a fine preacher and
everyone that heard him was well
pleased with his sermons.
***Horses and Automobiles
Frozen roads are what you might
call death to motor cars. They cut
tires to ribbons and shake
machinery out of joint. Day after
day, I tramp the public roads and
find on them ten horses to one
machine. The farmer is growing
wise. He has discovered that his
bright new machine will become
dilapidated and wheezy if run in
winter weather, and so he keeps it
housed while the ever faithful
horse draws the wagon, light or
heavy, and does not get stuck in
the drift or mire, writes Hilton
Busbey, in “American Horse
Breeder ”.
With the price of gasoline
steadily climbing, the expense of
running a machine is greater than
driving a horse and the farmer
Page 89
always counts the cost in summer,
the machine is much in evidence
on the National Road, especially
on Saturday and Sunday and the
horse in reserved for short drives.
Five days of the week in summer,
the farmer has duties to perform,
and then the great highway has a
deserted look. But when Sunday
comes, the preacher does not see
him. He is flying through clouds
of dust to exchange greetings with
distant friends.
It is folly to talk about the horse
becoming a back number in
agricultural communities. He does
work which machines cannot do,
and is a safe dependence in all
kinds of weather.
As I take my daily exercises on
the highways and drive long
distances on them, I know what I
am talking about. I am compelled
to believe what I see with my own
eyes. The paid stories in some of
the daily papers do not mislead
the well informed.

T h e C o m m i t t ee r e c e n t ly
appointed to arrange for the
Gwynn School reunion at Pitts
Point met at the Court House
Saturday and selected a date and
appointed the various Sub
Committees necessary to make
this affair one of the greatest
educational days in the history of
Bullitt County and since the
former students of that grand old
college are now among our
leading citizens, we have no
hesitancy in saying that this
occasion will bring together
hundreds of noble men and
women from all over this and
adjoining counties as well as
many from other states, who have
made good and who will be only
too glad to meet on this day at a
grand old spot, now almost
deserted, but where once only a
few years ago, was by far the
most favored town and could
easily boast of the most cultured
people to be found in these parts,
so gentle reader, if you are
fortunate enough to have been a
student of that splendid old
school located in what was at one
time a flourishing busy little
center or a patron, a teacher, a
friend, or if you are today
interested in the cause of better
schools, make your arrangement
to go to old Pitts Point Saturday,
Sept. 9, 1916.
The following Sub Committees
were named:
Program - Ella Sweeney Pope,
Chairman, Mary Hornbeck
Collings, Birdie Hill Dawson,
Cora Hardy Roby.
Transportation - J. F. Collings,
Chairman, O. P. Means,
Lawrence Roby, Clarence
Dawson, H. H. Glenn, Dr. S. H.
Ridgway.
Necrology and Roll Call - O. W.
Pearl, Chairman, Hillary
Greenwell, Ben Chapeze, Dr. S.
W. Bates, Ella Pope, Kate
Chambers, Ella M. Magruder.
Gen. Management - Rice Lee,
Chairman, C. C. Lee, Price Smith,
Jas. Greenwell, Joe Woolridge,
John Hill, Jas. Colli ngs,
Lawrence Roby, Chas. Dawson,
Luther Kelley, John Woolridge,
Clarence Holsclaw, Claud
Barrall, Bob Ridgway.

contribution to any member of the
finance committee from 25 cents
up and if the amount be sufficient
said committee will employ a fine
brass band for this occasion.

First Kentucky Infantry. The First
Kentucky Regimental parade,

forty pieces in the foreground.
The parade is watched each
afternoon by hundreds of visitors
from Covington, Newport and
Cincinnati.
***High School Pupils Make
Good.
Every High School pupil who
took the examination passed with
a high grade and about all of this
have schools and are doing good
work in the school room. Every
pupil who passes the common
school examination is entitled to
the High School course and
parents should see to it that they
get the full four year course. In
Indiana, every child has the right
to a High School education just
we have in Kentucky, and in
Indiana every child gets that High
School course whether they be
rich or poor, white or black.
Let every parent in Bullitt County
see to it that their children
complete the High School course,
and whey have done that, they
will have done more for them
than if they had left them a
fortune, but no education.
Houses burn, money takes wings
and flies away, friends are
fleeting, and life is full of
disappointments, but a good
education abides for a lifetime.

Price Smith. He was well known
here and at Belmont, where he

Several months ago, Mr. Johnson
went to Arizona thinking it would
improve his health, but he
gradually grew worse.
There will be a mass meeting at

the summer home at which Mr.
Lee entertains his guests, will
leave in a short while to spend
some time with friends at
Frankfort, where they will take a
post graduate course in shoe
making and chair manufacturing.
To be plain about the matter, Mr.
Nevitt was convi cted of
embezzling chickens and a jury
sent him up the line, until he
could get the feathers combed out
of his hair, and as for Mr.
Akridge, he was sent up for
detaining a female against her
will. The consensus of public
opinion is that they “got theirs”
an well merited doses, and in this
case while the penitentiary loses,
the community where these
brethren formerly lived will be
greatly benefitted.
September 1, 1916
Miss Louise Monroe, formerly of

***Mrs. N. A. Ratliff
Mrs. N. A. Ratliff passed to her
reward on May 29, 1916. She was
born Aug. 31, 1829. She was sick
only a few hours, but had been in
ill health for a number of years.
Everything was done that could
be done to save her. But God had
called for her, and when death
laid his cold hands on her, she
had to go. Everybody that knew
her, loved her. This was shown by
the large crowd of people who
attended her funeral.
Mrs. Ratliff was a good woman.
She was the pride of her home.
She leaves six sons and a host of
friends to mourn her death. God,
in his wisdom and love, saw fit to
call her, so we all have to bow in
humble submission to his will, so
trust in Jesus who is able to help
you to bear up under this awful
sorrow. Remember that Jesus
said, “Let not your heart be
troubled, he believe in God,
believe also in me. In my father’s
house are many mansions. If it
were not so, I would have told
you, and I go to prepare a place
for you, I will come again and
receive you unto myself that
where I am, there ye may be
also.”
What is home without a mother?
What are all the joys we meet
When his loving smile no longer
greets the coming of my feet. Oh,
Sons, do not weep. I think God
knew best, Oh, Sisters, do not
weep, Dear Annie is at rest. She
has left this world and gone
before, To meet her mother at
Heaven’s door, And she’ll be
there to clasp her hand, When
they meet in yonder land.
Her remains were laid to rest in
the family cemetery surrounded
by a large number of sorrowing
relatives and friends. Beautiful
and impressive funeral services
were conducted by Rev.
McCormi ck, of Bardstown
Junction. May the Lord bless and
comfort the bereaved ones.
Signed, A Friend.
Foster, whose fame as an
elocutionist and reader was well
known in Shepherdsville and
Bullitt County, her former home
and the scene of other well
remembered
similar
entertainments.
***Miss Mayme Stephens
For several years past, Miss
Foster has been living in Arizona,
connected as a teacher with the
Glendale Grammar School, but
has been visiting her immediate
family and other relatives, as well
as many admiring friends in this
county who delighted to welcome
her return, even if only for a short
visit.
This charming young lady and
accomplished musician, one of
the best that Shepherdsville has
ever produced, leaves today for
Irvine, KY, where she has already
secured a number of pupils and
will begin her chosen career as a
musical instructor. She graduated
at the Shepherdsville High School
last May with honor and has
devoted a large portion of her
time to the study and practice of
music. Besides being a most
delightful performer on the piano,
is thoroughly competent to teach
and instruct in the beautiful art.
She will be greatly missed in both
church and social circles, where
she is most popular and greatly
loved. The best wishes of a host
of friends here will follow to her
new field of action and long for
the success she so richly deserves.
Her home at Irvine will be with
an uncle, Mr. Jas. Stephens, a
prominent citizen of that place
and we commend her most
cordially to the good people there
as in every way deserving of their
c o n f i de n c e , e s t e e m a nd
patronage.
***Miss Ina Fern Foster
Gives Delightful Recital at M. E.
Church.
One of the most cultured
audiences that Bullitt County
could produce assembled at the
Methodist Church last Friday
night to hear Miss Ina Fern
Page 98
The program was headed Arizona
Sunshine, selections being largely
of the Arizona or Western type
and were handled by her with that
charm of delivery, brightness and
clearness peculiar to her original
style that brought many smiles
and much laughter to the charmed
audience and liberal sounds of
applause after each recital. The
program consisted of 19 different
selections all admirably rendered.
“Where the West Begins, The
Night Wind and Bugle Song”
seemed most especially pleasing
to the audience.
Miss Foster was ably assisted by
Mrs. George Barrall, of Kansas
City, another charming visitor
who rendered two lovely vocal
solos that were greatly enjoyed
and liberally enchored.(sic)
Prof. Jack Sanders of our own
High School also favored the
audience with one of his fine
vocal solos and received the
abundant applause his songs
usually do and are certainly
entitled to.
Altogether, it
was
a
most
delightful evening and will long
be remembered with much
pleasure by those whose good
fortune it was to be present.
Miss Foster left this week on her
return to Arizona, followed by the
best wishes of a host of friends in
this community, who will delight
to hear of her continued
prosperity and success in the
home of her adoption and be glad
to always welcome her return to
the home of her nativity.

***Miss Anna Pierce
After fourteen years of faithful
and efficient service as assistant
Post Mistress at the local office,
Miss Anna Pierce retired from
Uncle Sam’s employment last
week and is now enjoying a well
earned rest.
Always at her post, Miss Anna
became a fixture in the office and
her absence behind the cabinet is
as sad as it is noticeable. She was
kind and industrious and
discharged the duties of the office
with such graceful perfection that
her retirement is regretted by all.
It will be a hard task to fill her
place and it is safe to predict that
no Post Master will ever have a
better or more faithful assistant
than Mr. Troutman, who has just
turned the office over to a worthy
successor.
During all those years, she has
received and dispatched many
Page 100
thousands pieces of mail and no
complaints were ever registered
against her by the many hundred
patrons of her office.
The despicable dun, pestiferous
biladoux, important business
communication and the worthless
patent medicine advertisement, all
received alike her most careful
attention. The rich and the poor,
black and white, young and old,
all praise her for her kind and
uniform treatment and all regret
that her smiling face no longer
greets them where they call for
their mail.

***Victory Meeting
Last Sunday, Bro. McCormick
and H. C. Combs closed a tent
meeting at Victory School House.
Fifteen professions of faith and
the whole community seemed to
be greatly aroused spiritually. I
never labored among people that
have more kindness and
hospitality. This is a splendid
community. Their greatest need is
a Church building and a warm,
spiritual, active Church. And I
hope that they may soon have this
blessing. I hope to return soon to
preach in the School House and
baptize those who desire to come
into the Baptist Church. Signed
H. C. Combs.
***Carriage Business Holds up
Well
In spite of the wonderful run on
automobiles which has only been
equaled by the similar sale of
bicycles a decade ago, the
carriage business holds up and the
manufacturers predict a very
satisfactory season in 1916,
according to a Syracuse NY
dealer in carriages and wagons.
“The elaborate type of surrey and
station wagons are no longer a
requirement”, says this dealer,
“but the serviceable road wagon
and vehicles for hauling heavy
loads are much in demand. The
Automobile has in many cases
replaced the horse, but the price
for good animals is higher than it
was ten years ago, and the same
applies to wagons.”
“Those who maintain stables in
spite of the automobiles are
buying harnesses of the same
standard used years ago. It is
quite likely that horse drawn
vehicles will never return to their
former popular favor, but they are
passing out of use much more
slowly that the average individual
realizes.”

***For Jailer
In a recent issue of this paper,
there appeared the announcement
of Percy Mumford, of Belmont as
a candidate for the nomination of
jailer on this County, subject to
the action of the Democratic
Primaries, August 1917.
Mr. Mumford was borned (sic)
and raised in the Pine Tavern
district near Belmont and except
a few years spent in the west has
always lived in this county and
not only is a true and tried
Democrat himself, but comes
from who old Democratic
families who were never known
to “scratch” a ticket. He is a
farmer and has made a success of
the business, a sober, up-right
man, fair in all his dealings and
stands well in the community in
which he lives and if nominated
and elected, will no doubt make a
fine industrious official.
For nearly 43 years, he has been a
faithful voter of his party, but
never before asked for an office
and is willing and anxious at all
times to have his record as a
neighbor, a business man, a
farmer and a Christian gentleman
carefully investigated and as such
submits his candidacy to the
people of this county.
September 15, 1916
The Gwynn School Reunion was
well attended, not only by former
students of that school, but by
their children, relatives and
friends and by hundreds of people
from Bullitt, Hardin and
adjoining Counties, who came to
meet old friends and pay their
respects to that grand old teacher,
who perhaps did more than any
other man for the educational
uplift of the people of this
section.
Besides the music furnished by
the local brass band and a
splendid address by W. B.
Gwynn, at the close of the other
features, were a roll call of all
students and a wonderful review
of “What that school has done for
Bullitt County” by Sen. J. R.
Zimmerman.
Prof. T. C. Cochran, formerly of
this county, has just been chosen
as head of the Dept. of Education
in Columbia College at Lake City,
Florida.
Miss Elizabeth Cash, teacher at
Mt. Caramel, gave a pie supper
and entertained recently and
besides having a very pleasant
program, realized about $14 or
$15 from the sales of pies.
Kentucky is to have a new
magazine soon, to be known as
the “Kentucky Magazine” edited
by Mr. Webster Huntington and
printed in Louisville. It has the
endorsement of Henry Watterson,
Henry Barker, Jas. K. Patterson
and many other scholars.
C. C. Daugherty, Prof. Sanders,
Willie Mae Ridgway, Dr. Bates
and many other teachers and
Page 109
trustees attended the Gwynn
School reunion Saturday.
The annual Bullitt County
Teachers Institute will open here
Monday, Sept. 18th , for one
week’s session with Prof. J. H.
Sanders as instructor. Thursday
evening, the common school
diploma class will receive their
diplomas. This class is composed
of 50 excellent young students,
the largest class ever turned out in
this county and a large crowd will
no doubt be present.
***The Gwynn Reunion
Largely attended and greatly
enjoyed.
The Reunion of the former pupils
of Prof. W. B. Gwynn at the old
academy at Pitts Point last
Saturday was a notable event and
will live as long life shall last and
ever be cherished in memory of
scores of devoted students who
assembled there to greet and
cordially welcome once more (for
many, it may the last time) their
former loved and now venerable
instructor. Nature seemed to smile
upon the occasion, the bright
sunshine, tempered with gentle
breezes made the day an ideal one
and many happy, smiling faces as
well as cordial greetings and
generous hand clasps from long
separated friends reflected her
brightness and warmth. Prof.
Gwynn was at his best. He stood
at the entrance gate for quite a
while with the same old kindly
smile and warm grasp for all his
old friends, pupils and more
recent acquaintances. But one
grasp of his kindly hand was
necessary to tell that his whole
heart and soul was in the joyous
occasion. His three score years sit
lightly upon him and few to
whom his life’s work was
unknown, would ever believe him
to have past the three score mark
or that it had been thirty odd
years since he left his work at the
old academy for a broader field.
The Program, previously
prepared, was carried out to the
letter, and the exercises
interspersed liberally with music
by the Shepherdsville Brass Band,
which did itself proud and
received liberal rounds of
applause, was greatly enjoyed by
all present. Neither time nor space
permits us to enter fully the
details, but the welcoming
address by Hon. J. R.
Zimmerman, Quartette (sic) by
Messrs Sanders, Ridgway, Bates
and Roby, Song by Marguerite
Sanders and Chas. Lee Bradbury
were especially good and greatly
enjoyed.
One of the leading features was
roll call of former pupils: Both
male and female, many of them
answered in person, others by
entertaining letters whilst
numbers were reported as having
“passed over the River” and are
awaiting the Roll Call Up
Yonder.
The crowning event of the day
was the splendid address of Prof.
Gwynn towards closing of
exercises. For more than an hour,
he held his audience spellbound
with recital of his experience in
years: now away down the
streams of Time, in the old
academy and of events in his busy
and successful life since then.
Amongst them, he alluded to his
experience and the difficulties
encountered in starting and
establishing The Bullitt Pioneer,
of which he was the founder and
first editor, which made him feel
closer and dearer to the writer,
who has always been one of his
greatest admirers. He told of his
success at Lynnland and how now
he is enjoying life on his farm and
happy home near Crestwood in
Oldham County in company with
his dear life’s companion and
their unmarried daughter and
where he says the latch string
hangs out and a warm welcome
awaits any of his former friends
and pupils who chance to come
that way. May he long live to
enjoy the goods so well won and
so richly deserved for he is “The
Noblest Roman of them all”. God
bless him.
**Japanese Fete
The Senior Class of the
Shepherdsville High School will
hold a Japanese Fete on the lawn
adjoining the Hancock Building,

Pathe Gold Rooster Play in five
reels of motion pictures, laid and
photographed amid scenes of the
most charming California scenery

It is a drama with a trace of
comedy running through it and a
finish alike pleasing and amusing.
This picture will appear at the
Masonic Temple, Shepherdsville,
and on account of its unusual
character, Tuesday night, Sept.
26th, has been selected as a special
date on which to show it.
***Miss Otis Mae Porter
Miss Otis Mae Porter, of
Bardstown Junction, left this
week for Auburn, Iowa, where
she is to be principal of the
Auburn school.
Miss Porter was principal of the
High School in Mt. Washington
last year, and it was through her
efforts that the school became
accredited and the new school
building, which is now being
erected, was made possible. She
holds the “Western Normal Life
Certificate”. One of the two that
have been granted to students
from this county and since this
certificate has been recognized by
almost every State in the Union,
she goes where she pleases
without examination. There are
three kinds of Life Certificates One which is granted because of
twenty years experience, one
which is acquired by examination
and one which is obtained by four
years work at the normal school.
The latter kind is the one which is
recognized with high standing in
other states.
Miss Porter is very attractive in
manner and person and her
friends are numbered by the
scores in this County and State,

The following teachers took the
Sept. examination here Friday and
Saturday. O. W. Pearl, Cora
Roby, Clara Funk and Mattie
Funk.
We regret to note the death of
Mrs. J. R. Thompson, wife of
Prof. Thompson who taught here
a few years ago. They were living
in Alabama where Mr. Thompson
was teaching and his wife had
only been sick a short time when
her death occurred. She was one
of the most excellent women that
ever lived in Shepherdsville and
this leaves three small children.
Her remains were brought back to
Kentucky and buried near Horse
Cave Thursday.
In
last
week’s
paper,
our
committee gave a list of all who
donated to the fund for the
Gwynn School Reunion recently
held and since then, we have
received a letter and $l.00 from
Mrs. (sic) Hal Kinnison, of
Arizona, a former Bullitt County
boy, who is making good in that
state and who attended school
under Prof. Gwynn some 25 years
ago. Mr. Kinnison wrote a fine
letter regarding his inability to be
present and expressed a desire
that those reunions be made an
annual gathering.
The school board recently
appointed the following for the
coming year to teach the school at
Mt. Washington: Oscar Pearl,
Principal; Mary Bell, Grade
teacher; Sara Jane Buckman,
assistant. Mr. Pearl, as principal,
will have charge of the High
School recently established there
and approved as such by the High
School inspector and is a wellknown man, a very high class
gentleman, and spent some 10 or
15 years in the school room
before he was elected Circuit
Court Clerk of this County in
1898. Miss Bell is an unusually
popular young girl of the Huber
neighborhood, bright and studious
and will no doubt be a valuable
help to Mr. Pearl in making the
school a success, while Miss
Buckman is a graduate of the high
school here, holds a high grade
Certificate, is well liked and
along with Miss Bell, Miss Funk,
Miss Ridgway and others put our
town on the map here last winter
by their splendid basketball team,
which claimed the State
championship of Kentucky.

***A Letter
A letter from Prof. Gwynn,
Crestwood, KY. Sept. 12, 1916.
Dear Bro. Barrall: I want to thank
you on my own behalf and the
behalf of all my old friends,
patrons and pupils who were so
fortunate as to be at our
“Reunion” at the old Pitts Point
Academy last Saturday. It was a
day that comes perhaps but once
in a lifetime. The weather was
ideal and all hearts were happy.
Some happy with innocent
childish mirth, all unconscious of
the great demands the future will
make upon them. Many happy
and joyous in the full strength of
manhood and womanhood
crowned with success that has
baffled adverse circumstances and
stands triumphant over every
obstacle. Many happy with a
sober, subdues happiness that can
come only through resignation
and gratitude. Many others were
happy in the hopefulness of what
the future offers. All were happy,
though time has changed many of
us so much that it would seem
paradoxical that we should be
happy. But our spirits are as
youthful as ever and we know that
though we grown old and “cross
the river” one by one, we will
meet and be forever the same on
the other shore.
For this happy day, we want to
thank Mrs. S. B. Magruder, who
wrote, “Retrospection” and thus
started this movement and the
Editor of the Pioneer, who
published the article, and so
generously helped through its
columns, also Supt. Roby whose
willing heart and masterful hand
helped so tirelessly from start to
finish, also Prof. Sanders for his
leadership in the music and the
precious little boy and girl who
sang so beautifully for that grand
throng of admirers and the
members of the “Band” for their
many and happy renditions.
Individually, I most sincerely
thank Hon. J. R. Zimmerman for
that splendid address so full of
tender memories, touching
references, beautiful pictures and
wholesome encouragement and
inspiration. May this fruit of his
observation and this effusion of
his heart go far toward lifting the
clouds that so often lower in the
skies of the young student.
To my dear old pupils, I want to
say that the day you gave me last
Saturday richly compensates for
the strenuous efforts and the great
weight of solicitude in your
behalf long ago, you have made
good and I am grateful to my
Heavenly Father that he sent me
in the morning of my life to that
rugged and neglected community,
where a response awaited on
patient toil and hopeful effort, the
result of which was so manifest
last Saturday, so I pulled the cord
and rang the old bell one more
you came trooping in to know if
that was the “first bell”, was it
books? My tears fill, my heart
throbbed with emotion, but I was
happy.
The “Roll Call” was a most
anxious feature of the day. Many
answered “present” and some
made beautiful brief remarks,
others were heard from in
eloquent, fervid letters, but many,
yes, many were not on earth to
respond, but gone before to await
the time when all will be present
at the “Roll Call” in eternity.
Now let the committee on Roll
Call and Necrology put together
all letters, telegrams and get a full
and correct list of the names and
incorporate them into a “Roster”,
form a permanent “Pitts Point”
organization for happy days and
future good. Any may our Divine
Father still guide, and keep us,
everyone till he sees fit to say
“Enough, come up higher”. As
ever and always, most sincerely,
W. B. Gwynn.
***Gerney Parker Passes Away
On July 15, 1916, the shadow of
death cast its gloom over the
entire community when the
messenger of death came into our
midst and claimed for its victim
the immortal spirit of Gurney
(note different spellings) Parker,
and he submissively yielded his
spirit to the God who gave it.
Gurney had been sick seven
months with Tuberculosis and all
was done for him that loving
hands and skilled physicians
could do, but nothing could stay
the icy hands of death. He had
realized that he could not get well
and told his mother not to weep
for him, he had the sweet
assurance that all was well with
him. He told his mother he was
going home. He leaves a father,
mother and sister, Mrs. Mattie
Edlin of Elizabethtown, Ky, and
four brothers, Clell, Bill and John
of Colesburg, Ky, and Rube of
Ripley, Miss.
A few weeks before his death, he
professed faith in Christ and was
Page 115
united with the Baptist Church at
Bardstown, Ky. He told his
mother he was ready and willing
to die. God, in his wisdom and
love, saw fit to call him so we all
have to bow in humble
submission to His will. His
remains were laid to rest in the
Bardstown Cemetery on July 17th
by a large number of sorrowing
relatives and friends. A brother,
Rube.
***Champion Squirrel Skinner
Any pretty girl who desires to
wed a man who is an artist in and
at skinning squirrels should set
her cap for Charlie Shoptaw, for
he is middle weight champion
squirrel skinner for the fourth
congressional district and
possibly of Kentucky. At one
time, it looked as if John
Buckman could shuck a squirrel
quicker than anybody, but John is
an ice wagon by comparison.
Charlie could migrate to the
mountains and make a fortune
skinning squirrels if he so desired,
for he can certainly undress one
in a jiffy.
****Bullitt County Teachers

here, Jessie Grant, only son of
William Grant, after a long illness
of tuberculosis. He leaves a
young wife and one little child
besides his father and stepmother,
three own sisters and one step
sister to mourn his loss. Jess was
one of our boys, honest and
industrious. His honor was
unquestioned and his friends were
many and loyal. We need such
men, but God has taken this one
away in his youth and we know it
was best. His funeral was
preached at Hebron by Rev.
Sudbury, after which his remains
were interred in Hebron Cemetery
in the presence of a large
concourse of friends. We tender
our sympathy to the stricken
family. They sorrow, not as those
without hope, but they hope to
meet Jess where sickness and
partings are no more.

other expenses while ours is made
possible by the generous gift of
the late Col. Samuel M. Simmons.

***For Sale - Two good heating

***A Trip
Last Sunday, away along in the
afternoon, while the sun was
hastening adown the western
skies, a young man of and from
Shepherdsville, stood on the
wharf at Madison, Indiana, and
gazed longingly and wistfully at
the Home Smith, which was
disappearing around a bend in the
Ohio River, and pulling back to
Louisville with its cargo of
pleasure seekers.
The above young man had gone
up on the Homer Smith, and with
his best girl, had disembarked at
Madison, intending to catch the
boat when it came back, but alas,
“Blue Eyes” was so pretty and her
conversation was so charming,
and the skies were so clear and
blue, and the flowers were so
pretty, and the September
sunshine was so warm and bright,
that the young couple quite forgot
where they were, why they were,
where they came from or when
they were going to leave, and so
when they finally walked back to
the river and asked about the
Homer Smith, they were informed
that it was way down stream on
it’s way home. The trains had all
left, there (fold in paper, line
missing). About the time chagrin
gave way to despair, Clyde
Troutman, of High Grove, came
along in his machine, and taking
in the situation, also took in the
young pair and brought them to
Louisville. T & Port.

***Address of Hon. J. R
Zimmerman delivered at the
Reunion of Prof. W. B. Gwynn’s
old pupils at the Old Pitts Point
Academy, where he began his
teaching thirty-seven years ago.
My friends,
You have gathered here today
after a period of twenty-five years
and more to renew friendships,
revive sweet memories, clasp
friendly hands and look through
the glasses of men and women of
mature judgment at the man who
was your master and teacher in
those golden days and who gave
the best years of his vigorous
manhood to the grand work of
teaching the boys and girls how to
prepare themselves for the great
conflict of life.
In that end, and for that purpose,
a great throng of former pupils
and friends have assembled upon
these historic grounds, men and
women in the form, but school
boys and school girls in spirit,
come hither to walk once more
the neglected streets of this once
populace village and to play upon
the green sward once teeming
with their playmates, to stand
again by the onrushing river and
watch the yellow (looks like)
tides flow seaward and (two line
in a crease in paper missing),
which rang so joyously there
more than a quarter of a century
ago.
You are larger of form, slower of
step, and your voices have lost the
silvery tones of childhood, but
today, you are school children
once more; to day, time has
turned backward in her flight;
today the deserted village has
been repeopled by many of those
who peopled it then, and today,
the golden gleams of the same
September sun lave this beautiful
valley that vied with your childish
spirits back in the eighties.
As has been so beautifully said by
Scott, “Time rolls his ceaseless
course the race of yore”, and as
we look in vain today through tear
bedimmed eyes for love d
schoolmates whose forms have
long since passed from the
habitation of man to the dwelling
places of the dead, and listen for
the sweet tones of voices which
are heard no more, save in the
sacred halls of memory, we are
sadly reminded that many years
have gone the way of all the past
centuries, since the dear old
building which stands here today,
storm-beaten and devastated by
the destructive years, pulsated
with life and rang with the
harmonic music of childish
voices.
To those who have been busy
with the cares of life, it seems but
a summer since those who have
gathered here today were boys
and girls, going to their homes at
the close of school with newly
acquired knowledge gathered
from their master and books, and
come back in the morning with
well studied lessons prepared to
begin the new day, but when we
look upon the destroying touch of
time, and look upon the names of
those who fail to answer the roll
call, we are conscious of the fact
that many years have passed since
we gathered here as pupils, and
with those fleeting years have
gone many of our brightest and
best pupils who have crossed the
bar and rest upon the farther
shore.
“Do you remember sweet Alice,
Ben Holt, sweet Alice, whose hair
was so brown?
Who wept with delight when you
gave her a smile, and trembled
with fear at your frown?
In the little churchyard in the
valley, Ben Holt. In a corner,
obscure and alone.
They have fitted a slab of the
granite so gray, And Alice lies
under the Stone.”
Looking back today, through the
many years which stretch away
from the present to the school
days here, how many, oh, how
many of our sweetest and best
pupils have been placed in some
Page 122
little churchyard in the valley,
beneath enduring slabs of gray
granite, to await the call of the
Great Teacher of all teachers
when the appointed day shall
come.
Today, while we look into
friendly faces and clasp friendly
h a n d s , a n d h o l d s w e et
conversation upon these dear old
school grounds, let’s hold in
sweet remembrance our beloved
fellow pupils whose lives ended
before the great battle of life had
fairly begun.
No section of Bullitt County
possessed a stronger minded,
sturdier and thriftier population
than this when this school was in
its zenith. There were names that
carried respect and admiration
wherever heard, and they were
among the best socially,
financially, politically and
otherwise.
The Dawsons, Hardys, Hays,
Lees, Hibbs, Pearls, Greenwells,
Hargans, Fosters, Chambers,
Hornbacks, Myers, Godds,
Tydings, Glenns, Quicks ,
Ellisons, Ashbys, Fromans,
Griffins, Hills, Smiths, Raymans,
Cowleys, Vessals, Cochrans,
Howletts, Brashears, Wises,
Wooldridges, Moores, Stovalls
and many others whose names
have temporarily passed from my
memory, were strong factors in
building up Pitts Point, and
making the Academy what it was.
My mission today is to tell you of
the influence this school wielded
and still wields in Bullitt and
surrounding counties. In my
opinion, a more appropriate
subject would have been, “In
Kentucky and other states”, for
wherever a Gwynn scholar is
found, whether it be in the grand
old State of Kentucky or in some
other state, there you will find an
influential man or woman
impressing their high ideals upon
those with whom they come in
contact by their clean lives.
From this institution, forty female
teachers and twenty-five male
teachers have been sent out into
the world equipped for the great
profession of teaching the young.
They carried from this old
building, out to sixty-five other
school buildings, the Gwynn idea
of discipline, industry and
ambition, and from no other
school within the memory of my
audience, have such splendid and
efficient teachers gone forth.
Two of our leading physicians,
who have high standing in their
profession and otherwise, once
came to this school, and three of
the boys who came here to equip
themselves for life’s labors,
became members of the Bullitt
County bar, and of those three,
one has become one of the leaders
of the Kentucky bar.
Politically, the pupils of this
school have done well; one has
been County Attorney, one of
them was Clerk of the Bullitt
County Court; one was Circuit
Clerk; two have been sheriff, one
deputy circuit clerk, one deputy
sheriff, and Henry Cochran has
been highly honored in his
Missouri home, so has Dave Lee.
It has been along the cool,
bequestered walks of life that the
pupils of this school have
displayed their real worth. In the
school room, they have
demonstrated beyond all question,
their worth as teachers, and in
their homes, as mothers and
fathers, and husbands and wives,
they have shown their true value
as citizens.
Wherever found, on the farm, in
the office, or school room, in the
home or profession, they have
shown themselves courageous,
honest and worthy, and such traits
must be traced back to the homes
in which they were born and the
school room in which they were
taught.
We are here today to rekindle old
fires, rebuild fallen shrines, drink
again from the fountain of
inspiration which flowed here in
the glowing days of childhood
and carry back to our homes at
the close of this day, sweet
memories and high resolve and
clearer ideas of life.
The memories of Pitts Point
Academy shall live as long as the
pupils of that Institute shall life;
and the influence of this school
shall live long after the lionhearted, strong minded Master
and his beloved pupils shall have
gone to rest eternal, for this
school was founded on Truth,
Justice and Fear of God and such
foundations shall never be
destroyed.
More than three hundred pupils
came here ....... knowledge and
they drank from the fountains,
pure and undefiled, and when
school days were ended, went out
into the world to teach and live
the lessons which they had
learned here.
They were taught the lessons
contained in the text books, and
were taught more than that. They
were taught the value of industry,
the beauty of truth, the glory of
self-reliance and personal
Page 123
independence, and the love of
God, for trusting, obedient men;
and when the Master sent them
out into the world, they were not
burdened with useless knowledge,
but went forth armed and
equipped for the fight.
In Bullitt, Hardin, Nelson, Meade,
Jefferson, and many other
Kentucky counties, hundreds of
happy homes are presided over by
former pupils of this old
Academy. They are tilling the
soil, keeping house, teaching
school, practicing medicine and
law, selling merchandise, and
engaged in almost every honest
calling and wherever found, they
are, as a rule, honest, industrious,
law abiding, God fearing,
independent citizens. The old
building which sheltered and
protected you in your school days
is rapidly yielding to the inroads
of time, but roof is decaying, the
walls are giving away, and in a
few more years, the pitiless hand
of time will have swept it from
sight, and the wild winds shall
sing their mournful numbers
above the spot on which its four
walls rest, but the glorious truths
there shall never die; and long
after the master and the last of the
pupils shall have given back their
souls to the Maker, the influence
of this situation shall be felt in
this and other counties.
What influence has this school
had? It filled the homes of Bullitt
and other counties with educated
boys and girls, boys and girls who
were taught the values of personal
independence, the values of
industry, the value of patience,
the value of intellect, the value of
personal effort; the value of good
citizenship; the value of virtuous
womanhood; the value of a
manly, courageous manhood, and
above all, the value of a Chrstian
life.
Do you wonder that it has
wielded a great influence at home
and abroad? Do you marvel that
the pupils of this man and this
school have been so successful in
life, with such teachings and such
splendid codes of spiritual, moral
and social laws?
Every living pupil of this school
who is not here today in person is
here in spirit, and many prayers
have ascended heavenward today
from many portions of the earth
from men and women who were
scholars here, asking for the
success of this day, and that
heaven’s blessings may rest upon
those who came. And while we
mingle and rejoice with the living
who are here, recounting the
many experiences of our past
lives, may we not forget those
who are not here, and who are not
among those who live, but who
are sleeping somewhere the last
long sleep. They may have sunk
to rest far from the green fields
and smiling streams of their old
Kentucky homes, but today, let
....... love lighted hall, and while
we shed tears of joy over the
return of some beloved friend,
let’s shed tears of sadness
because some dear one has fallen
into sleep eternal and cannot
come.
Today this village wears an air of
joy which it has not worn in the
past twenty-five years. The
vanished have returned, master
and pupils have come back and
the whole countryside is here to
bid you welcome. Many, very
many, who were here in those
days are not here today to
welcome you back. Since you
left, buildings have gone to decay,
trees have vanished, familiar
landmarks are gone, but the Old
School Building still stands, and
some of the older friends who
were here then are here today to
bid you welcome and help make
the day enjoyable to you. Wafted
back from the invisible shores of
long ago in the tender breezes are
the voices of loved ones who
once stood beside us here, and we
can picture their youthful faces
today as fair and animated as in
the days when they walked arm in
arm the play grounds or bravely
contended in the class rooms for
the approbation or praise of the
master. Would that those absent
ones could stand once more with
their fellow pupils about this
storm beaten house and recount
the happy events which transpired
herein those unforgotten days.
Would that all the pupils might
stand beside their teacher today
and listen to his inspiring words,
but the decrees of fate have been
written and they decrees of fate
shall never be revoked.
With your permission, I shall say
a few words regarding the man to
whom you own so much. He did
more for Bullitt County than any
other teacher who ever taught in
this County.
He taught more than the contents
of school books. He taught the ten
commandments, he taught a
philosophy which transcends the
philosophy of mere text books,
and he taught industry of body
and brain, honesty of heart, mind
and body in theory and practice.
He filled his pupils with energy
and ambition and taught them the
beauty of forgiveness. He taught
Page 124
them thrift, independence and
reliance and courage. He taught
them how to live and how to die
and having so taught them, sent
them forth to the great battlefields
of life, ready to take their places
and fight for name, wealth,
position and respect.
I deeply regret that I never knew
him until after he had left this
school, and I feel profoundly
sorrowful because it was not my
great privilege to sit in his school
and learn life’s lessons from his
lips.
How firm should be the
friendships and how lasting the
love of this accomplished
teacher’s pupils, and friends who
have gathered here on this
memorable day, their lives,
health, and minds spared and
protected by a loving God and
how full their hearts should be of
thanks as they journey off toward
the silent, shadowy hour of
sunset.
Looking today upon this historic
building, and looking back
towards the days of its glory, I
can see in my mind’s eye the
scores of happy boys and girls
who came here to drink from the
fountains of knowledge and truth.
I can see the girlish pride and
boyish glory of the (one line
missing) as they played upon
these grounds and passed in and
out of the old Academy doors.
Death has thinned your ranks, and
disease has wasted many forms
and sorrows and joys have come
side by side and golden hopes
have been blasted; wedding bells
have rung out their glad message
of joy and the solemn tones of
funeral bells have told their story
of sadness.
As we say good-by at the parting
hour this afternoon, for many it
may be a final farewell on this
earth, and may faces which wear
here today the smile of gladness
may before long, be dampened by
tears of sorrow.
May you meet here again in
reunion as you have met today
and may your lives and the life of
your beloved teacher by filled
with joy, may your years be many
and may your good influence live
and spread as the waters which
cover the sea and finally, when
your day has ended and the
shadows fall eastward, may the
former Principal of this famous
old Academy and all his pupils be
gathered over yonder on the ever
green campus of that Eternal
School, whose Principal is God.

which is trying to raise five
kittens. She chicks and tries to get
the kittens to be chickenish, but
they are wedded in their ways.
The kittens stay in a nest in the

***In Loving Remembrance
Of Rev. T. J. Ramsey, who was

July 28, 19l6.

was married at an early age to
Miss Melvina Gibson, of Indiana.
To their union were born four
Page 127

whom he so much loved, Misses
Mattie Mae, Mabel, Eulah, Bessie
and Evelyn Funk, Hazel Ramsey

Since the death of his wife 12
years ago, Bro. Ramsey made his
home with his daughters. He died
at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Chas. Funk. He had been in
failing health for two years. Bro.
Ramsey began preaching when
almost a youth and continued to
do so as long has his health would
permit. He was a loving father
and grandfather, and the M. E.
Church has lost one of its most
loved ministers. But, dear
children, weep not. For some day
you will meet him and your
Master in that land where partings
are unknown. His funeral was
conducted by Bro. Hardin and he
was laid to rest by the side of his
wife and Knob Creek Church

conducted S. S. for 25 years.
Many who read this remembrance
will remember his kind loving
voice and sweet words of comfort
in hours of distress.

not for little Louise, she will be a

A few years ago, there was a

before they reached a hundred,
then two hundred. Now they have
a membership of several hundred,
and the Dickey Brotherhood is
famous among Sunday School
circles in Kentucky. Twelve of
the pick of these men are coming
to Shepherdsville Sunday night to
tell us how they did it. The night
service at the Methodist Church
will be turned over to them, and it

worth hearing. All of the people

board here, accepted a place in
the Louisville city schools. Miss
Hall is an unusually sweet,
cultured lady and our town and
community regret to lose her, but
congratulate Supt. O. L. Reid for

excellent primary teacher in the
city schools of our largest town.

sure it will be at least $5.35 next
year.

The annual School Rally which

in every way a success, even
greater than the previous rallies

conclusivel y, the deep and
constantly growing interest taken
by the citizens of Bullitt in the
cause of education. Every school
district in the County, save two or
three which were prevented by
s ickness a m o n g s t pu p i ls
amounting to almost an epidemic.
The floats this year were more
numerous and handsomely
decorated then ever and the
parade which traversed our
streets, headed by t he
Shepherdsville Brass Band, and
disbanded at the fair grounds,
where the day was spent in
contests between pupils of the
various schools and social
greeting and intercourse of the
older ones. Keen rivalry in both
athletic and mental contests was
the order of the day and proved
the deep interest of both pupils
and teachers in the rally. The day
was an ideal one for the occasion
and will long be remembered by
all whose good fortune it was to
be present. Many kindly
e x p r e s s i o n s o f g r a t e f ul
remembrances to the late Col.
Samuel M. Simmons, who
contributed so liberally to the
founding of these rallies, with a
permanent endowment for
purpose of defraying expenses
thereof were heard. That deed and
his generosity towards the cause
of education will always be
remembered and appreciated by
the people of Bullitt County.

***N.... and Whites
Curran Troutwine has returned
from Detroit, Michigan where he
spent a couple of months. He says
the natives up there eat with the
Negroes and treat them as well as
they do the white people.
Michigan has long been noted for
its great love of N----. The N---- is
a welcome fellow in Michigan,
where he is treated as an equal.
Wonder is why more N---- don’t
go up there and live.
It’s no trouble to find mixed
schools up there, and less trouble
to find the two races eating and
hobnobbing together.
That kind of doings may suit
those hide bound Republicans up
in Michigan, and o t her
Republican states, but it does not
suit the white people down here
in Democratic Dixie, where the
colored man loves to life. Down
here, he is a n---- by color, and is
treated as such and is far happier
here than up there.

Never before in our memory has
the N— been courted quite so
much as at this time. He is being
sought on all sides by Republican
workers, given a hearty
handshake and perhaps a drink
and cigar, and told to come out on
election day and vote for “Abe
Lincun” and Gen. Grant, and
barring death, he’ll be there.
Every young man who casts his
first vote in this election is
offered th the Republican party,
political fellowship with the N–.
He is invited to fall in ranks with
political soldiers who are mixed,
one white and one black. By the
Democrats, he is offered
fellowship with a lily white party
that contains all whites.
And, while the colored man is
giving Republicans trouble now,
he will prove more troublesome
as time goes on and he becomes
educated and enters the
professions and trades and tries to
claim professional and social
equality with the whites.
Already the Republican party has
given many offices to the N—,
and right here in Kentucky, a N–
by the name of Asbury was
nominated by the Republicans for
Register of the Land office, and
that N– got just about as many
votes as the white candidates.
Last summer, the Republicans
sent eight delegates at large from
Kentucky to the National
Republican convention and one of
those delegates was a N– editor
by the name of Brown, from
Hopkinsville KY.
We never met delegate Brown Republican Delegate Brown, if
you please, but his picture
showed him to be a big fat, ebon
hued fellow and it looked as if he
hated to have his picture placed in
the paper with the seven white
delegates. The Republican party
was bred and born in the North. It
is a foreign fee, and was created
to fight the South and Southern
Institutions. And today, the
Northern Republican hates the
South and all her ideals and
sentiments, and we of the South
have very few real friends in the
Republican party up North.
In the North, the Republicans
believe in the equality of the two
races. They believe that a few
years in public office and in white
schools and white parlors will
take away the color and smell and
make the colored brother just as
white and intelligent and good
socially and in all other ways, as
the white man.
Hughes is making a sectional
fight. He hates the South and if
elected President, will make the
lot the South harder than it has
been since the days of the carpet
bagger and N– governors and
legislatures.
Let every Democrat in Bullitt
County get busy and see every
Democrat he can, and urge them
to got out and help out vote the
N—, for the white Republicans
have worked them up, and they
will be out in full force on
election day.
***You Kissed Me
The above entitled poem has been
submitted to a local Board of
Censors, composed of “June”
McCormick, James Hardaway
and Jimmie Lee Williams, and
pronounced superb. Members of
the board say it is surpassingly
beautiful and commend it to the

***Belmont
Belmont is again settling down
into the routine of its duties after
the great event so well named,
“The School Rally”. For a time,
all was excitement and interest.
No one had time to attend to their
own affairs, for they were so
enthusiastic over the chief event
of the year. Boys and girls, men
and women, all worked with a
will and zeal never seen before.
They began early and toiled late,
never reflecting or a moment on
the question of being tired. They
decided to think of that later. The
results of all ths labor and time
expending were two of the most
gorgeously decorated floats that
could be seen at the Rally. They
were indeed beautiful, but it is
useless to repeat that compliment,
for all there were bound to see
and notice these floats. In
addition to the wagons, an
automobile belonging to R. F.
Davis was decorated until it
resembled a “Dream of Beauty”,
fit to convey a princess to her
castle on her bridal day. Bob
Davis Jr was the chauffeur. It
really deserved the many
flattering compliments passed by
the spectators. Numbers of the
pupils went from here and
declared they had never enjoyed
themselves more in one short day.
Surely an event that creates so
much interest and brings so many
people together should continue
to be of greater interest each year.
Long continue our School Rally
and “thanks” to the generous gift
of man who made it possible for
us to enjoy this “wonderful” day.
Our church is still of great
interest in this community. Our
attendance is steadily increasing
in spite of the fact that the dreary
season of the year is approaching.
“Belmonters” do not mind the
chilly winds and muddy streets,
where Church or school is
concerned.
A number of people here have
been ill recently, but are
improving now.

Sophomore “Halloween Party”.
We closed our baseball season
very successfully by winning a
double header last Saturday. The
first game was played with
Boston which proved a very
interesting one. After the first
inning, Prof. Martin did the
twirling for Boston and caused us
more trouble than any other hurler
we faced this season. The most of
his success, we think, can be
attributed to the fact that he
throws with the wrong arm which
was a little awkward to us, but
nevertheless, we pounded his
delivery for enough hits to pile up
six runs. The best they could do
was to make an unearned run off
of our clock working pitcher,
whose name is Thompson. We
defeated Lebanon Junction in the
second game by the score of 12 to
3. This game proved to be a
thriller from the first until the
seventh inning when Westerfield
weakened and we ran in seven
runs. The features of the game
were a home run by Ice and the
timely batting of the entire
Shepherdsville team, while
Roller’s batting featured for
Lebanon Junction.
***Mrs. Melville M. Stevens
Mrs. Melville M. Stevens passed
away at her home, 10559 Prospect
Avenue last Saturday morning.
She was the widow of Alexander
B. Stevens, founder of the lumber
company which bears his name.
Mrs. Steven’s maiden name was
Melville Miller. She was born
near Shelbyville, Ky. Sept. 18,
1842 and was educated at Dr.
Broadus’ Boarding School for
Girls in Shelbyville. At the time
of the Civil War, she was a
teacher in the Louisville Public
Schools and became acquainted
with Mr. Stevens, who was then
serving as a Union Soldier, being
stationed in Louisville, Ky. Mr.
and Mrs. Stevens were married in
Louisville near the close of the
war. From Louisville they went to
Cleveland to live, then to Auburn,
N. Y., and from there to
Coldwater, Mich.
In 1875, they moved from
Englewood to Washington
Heights where Mr. Stevens was
employed as agent for the Rock
Island and Pennsylvania Railroad.
Mrs. Stephens was one of this
community’s early residents. She,
together with her husband, was a
charter member of the First
Baptist Church of Englewood,
and after moving to Washington
Heights, for several years an
active member of Bethany Union
Church. Early in the history of the
cause of Christian Science, she
identified herself with this
movement and thereafter gave to
it her loyal and active support.
She was, for several years, a
director of Fourth Church of
Christ Scientist of Chicago, and
for many years, a Christian
Science Practitioner in this
community. She found her
greatest happiness in bringing
comfort and help to others, as she
many friends well know.
Mrs. Stevens leaves two
daughters, Nettie M. Stevens and
Jessie C. Stevens and one brother,
Robert Miller, of Shepherdsville.
The funeral service was held
Monday afternoon at her home
and was conducted by the readers
of Thirteenth Church of Christ
Scientists, Dr. M. A. Whinney
and Mrs. Bretsnyder (sic). The
pallbearers were: J. E. Bayard, F.
M. Timms, W. I. Hitt, Wm.
Bretsnyder, C. E. Leech and J. W.
Long. Interment at Mt.

***The World’s Most Interesting
Woman is coming to town in a
Pathe Gold Rooster 5 reel play.
She is LINA CAVALIERI, the
Italian actress whose classic
beauty is the marvel of men and
envy of women throughout the
world. She is featured with
Lucien Muratore, her husband,
the finished French actor, in this
play, a feature remarkable for its
unusual story, the beauty and
grandeur of its settings and the
quality of its photography, most
o f w h o s e s c e n e s w e re
photographed in Italy.
This pair of world-famed artists
will appear in Pathe’s 5 reel
creation at the Masonic Temple,
Shepherdsville, Thursday night,
De. 12th . It is a great photoplay,
with a strong moral, and there
will be a lump in every throat,
and not a dry eye in the house at
the climax with which the picture
ends. East Lynne and The Old
Homestead were million dollar
stage productions because they
had this same big heart appeal.
This is the biggest and most
expensive picture we have ever
shown. Read what the Pathe
Exchange which made and
booked us the picture, says of it:
“Masonic
Temple,
Shepherdsville, “THE SHADOW
OF HER PAST” is the first of our
Master Productions. For the first
thirty days, we are charging
$50.00 per day, and for the
second thirty days, we are
charging $30.00 per day for it.
Taking into consideration the
magnificent picture it is, and its
splendid drawing powers, I
Page 149
believer you can afford to book it
for one day. We will include a
reel of Florence Rose Fashions
(Pathe’s) which rents for $5.00
per day. Our first open date is
Dec. 12th and we are holding it for
you.
Very truly yours, Pathe Exchange,
Inc. W. S. Wessling, Manager.
The Florence Rose Fashion Films
are charming and are sure to
delight every woman, and please
every man. They are not in any
sense advertisements, and nothing
like has appeared here. The one to
be shown on the above date is
“Betty at the Wedding” in which
for fifteen minutes, beautiful
creations for the wedding and
honeymoon are shown to their
best advantage on exceptionally
pretty living models.
The music on this occasion will
be furnished by the accomplished
Miss Bernice Wimberly on the
violin with Miss Edith Hancock,
whose ability as a pianist is
beyond question, at the piano.
Shepherdsville pupils of Miss
Wimberly will also render violin
selections.
In view of the unusually high cost
of the pictures for this program, it
is impossible to maintain on this
date the regular picture show
prices, and for this date only,
admission for all seats will be 5
cents for children and 15 cents for
adults. No seats will be reserved.
It will require a big attendance, at
these prices, to cover the cost of
this program and we trust the
public will patronize it
generously.

***Death of William J. Phelps
Photo
Mr. William J. Phelps, Bullitt
County’s oldest and best loved
citizen, died at his home two
miles northwest of this place last
Friday, from the effects of a fall
which he had sustained a short
while before. Mr. Phelps was
born in Luzeren County,
Pennsylvania, October 8, 1820,
came to Bullitt County in 1836,
and was married to Miss Susan
Murray in 1847. To this union
were born six daughters and five
sons, and of these four sons and
six daughters survive their father.
Mrs. Phelps died several years
ago and since her death, Mr.
Phelps has been tenderly cared
for by his children.
Last Sunday, the funeral was held
Page 152
at the Phelps home in the
presence of a large concourse of
friends, relations and
acquaintances who gathered to
pay a last tribute to a man who
was respected by all. The services
were conducted by Rev. H. C.
Combs, of the Baptist Church
here, of which Mr. Phelps had
been a devoted member for sixty
years.
After the services were concluded
in the home, the remains were
taken to the family burying
ground nearby and laid to rest
beside the beloved wife and
mother who had gone before him.
Six grandsons were pall bearers.
The services were very touching.
There were few dry eyes in that
large crowd.
As the grave was being filled, the
choir sang “The Sweet By and
By” and while the words and
music of that beautiful hymn
brought tears to the eyes of all
who stood about the grave of their
departed friend, the soul of the
sainted patriarch had crossed over
to that beautiful shore and with
the countless hosts of the
redeemed, was singing “the
melodious songs of the blest”
The life of Mr. Phelps was an
open book with unstained pages.
He was upright in the sight of
God and man. Like the waters of
a brook, he moved on smoothly
and evenly without tumult or
friction. His sober, clean life
enabled him to live twenty six
years beyond the allotted span.
Peace to his honored ashes, and
may the boys and men of our
county emulate his good example.
To his devoted children and
grandchildren, we tender our
deepest sympathies.

Mrs . E l izabeth Caldwell
Rickerson, beloved wife of J. I.

Shepherdsville, Thanksgiving
morning of heart disease, from
which she had suffered for some
time. Her remains were buried in

services in the home, conducted
by Rev. P. H. Ryan. Mrs.

age and had spent all of her life in

She is survived by her husband, J.
I. Rickerson, one daughter, Mrs.
Pearl Lee, one grandson, Frazier
Lee and numerous other relations.
Mrs. Rickerson was a faithful
wife, loyal and devoted mother,
and as a neighbor and friend, she
had no superiors. She was a home
loving woman, devoting all her
time and care to her home. She
was a faithful member of the
Shepherdsville Methodist Church
and in her church and its
societies, her loss will be felt
most keenly. She lived and died
in the faith. Her high standing and
worth were so well known in this
town and county, that we cannot
add to it by a multiplicity of
words. “She was a good woman”
expresses it as plainly and fully as
columns of panegyric could. She
will be mourned for and missed in
this community, and her death has
left a void in her home which
cannot be filled. Her aged life
partner who has walked by her
side for almost a half century,
sharing life’s sorrows and joys,
will miss her more than all others,
and to him, and to her faithful
daughter, and to her grandson, to
whom she was both grandmother
and mother, we extend our
Mr. N. H. Weller, a highly
respected citizen of this place,
died at his residence last Sunday
night, after an illness of several

Leaches.
The remains were buried in Cedar
Grove Cemetery last Tuesday
morning. Mr. Weller is survived
by his widow, Mrs. Biddie
Weller, one son, G. Herc Weller,
of Knoxville, Tennessee, three
brothers, G. W. Weller, of this
place, N. J. Weller, of Pineville
and Thos. Weller of Illinois, two
sisters, Mrs. Amanda Bowman of
this place and Mrs. G. W. Lutes,
of Texas.
Mr. Weller was one of the best
known men in our county and few
men had more friends. He was a
quiet, home-loving man who
attended strictly to his own
affairs, always had a good word
for his fellow man, and his
cheerful disposition made him a
favorite amongst his associates.
He was plain and unostentatious,
cared nothing for style and
pretension and abhorred shams
and deceptions of all kinds. Until
a few years ago, he was an active
business man, but age and disease
destroyed his activity, and for
several years, he had lived quietly
at home. We tender our
sympathies to the bereaved ones
who have suffered an irreparable
lose in the death of their loved
one. A loving husband, father and
brother has obeyed the last
summons.

Teachers, take notice that what
you have been teaching your
pupils for years about the evil and
injurious effects of alcohol is
now, at last, being appreciated
and the politicians or the parties
are running a race for the dry
plane in their next platform.
Nick Weller, who lost the sight of
his right eye several years ago, is

Miss Willie May Ridgway left

yet have two excellent teachers
for vacancies and will ask that all
teachers, who are compelled to
close for sickness or any other
cause, notify the County School
Board, care of Ora L. Roby.
***Dodd-Clevidence
Marriage license were issued this
week to Mrs. Rosa Dodd, of this
c o u n t y , a n d M r . R o b t.
Clevidence, of Charleston,
Monday.
The bride is the widow of the late
Wm. Dodd, who died some three
or four years ago and for the past
16 years, has kept house for
Greenwell Bros., at their farm
near Pitts Point.
Mr. Clevidence was raised in the
county but some years ago moved
to Missouri and is now a well
known successful farmer of that
state. The Pioneer extends
congratulations.
***State Debt
In 19l2, there was a deficit in the
State Treasury of $440,687.09,
and in 1913, a deficit of
$102,351.51 making a total
deficit for the two years of
$543,038.59, or an average deficit
for the two years of $271,519.29.
In other words, the State lacked
just that much of collecting as
much money as it spent. When a
farmer, or merchant, or contractor
spends more than he makes,
bankruptcy is just about in sight.
It is so with the State. We are
bound to take care of our State
Page 156
institutions and pay salaries, and
provide for the common schools,
and it takes money to do that.
They only relief in sight must
come through a better, more
efficient system of assessing
property and levying taxes. There
are thousands of rich people who
are not paying taxes. Some way
must be found by which they can
be reached and taxed. With the
State debt mounting higher and
higher, does anybody doubt that
we need a better taxing law? We
need it right now. Procrastination
in this case will be the thief of
State credit, the father of debts.
***Loyal Daughters’s Banquet
On Tuesday evening, November
28th, the Loyal Daughters of the
Christian Church of Lebanon
Junction, assisted by their teacher,
Mrs. R. G. Hampton, entertained
their many friends at their annual
banquet in the Masonic Temple of
that city. Places were laid for
about eighty-five and a real
Thanksgiving banquet consisting
of turkey, cranberries, ice cream
and all such good things as are
only found at a banquet was
prepared.
Rev. W. T. Foster, pastor of the
church, presided in his most
elegant and entertaining manner
as toastmaster and talks were
made by Mrs. R. G. Hampton,
Messrs A. H. Harned, Wm.
Stephenson, T. C. Carroll and
Roy K. Roaderick. A most
entertaining musical program was
rendered by Mrs. Hampton,
Messes Westerfield, Myers,
Steiger and Hendrickson and one
thing especially that made each
person glad he came was the
welcome extended by Miss
Whittinghill.
Too much praise cannot be given
the young ladies and their teacher
for the manner and spirit in which
this banquet was given and after
benediction was pronounced, it
was the unanimous wish of all
present, to be at the one next year.
The Loyal Daughters is a class of
twelve young ladies of the
Christian Church taught by Mrs.
R. G. Hampton. Their motto
“Living, Loving, Lifting” and the
interest they are taking in their
work has aroused much interest in
the churches of Lebanon
Junction.
May they continue to, in the
future, their good deeds of the
past. Then surely, they deserve
their reward hereafter.

***Death of Mrs. Sallie Lee
Preston
On Wednesday night, Dec. 6,
19l6, at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Wm. Miller, in Hodgenville,
Mrs. Sallie Lee Preston, after a
long and painful illness, entered
calmly, sweetly, and peacefully in
the Great Beyond.
Her death, although not
unexpected, came as a sad shock
to her family and friends.
Everything that mortal hands
could do, was done to prolong her
life but God chose otherwise and
her spirit has only winged its way
from this sinful world of sorrow
and death to the blessed and
beautiful realms of eternal life.
She was born in Belmont,
Kentucky, and lived here the
greater part of her life, where she
leaves many warm friends who
knew her from childhood. She
was married about thirty-five
years ago to Mr. W. H. Preston,
who with one son survives her.
She had a bright and cherry (sic)
disposition and her presence was
always sunshine, and conceived
all along of failing powers and
approaching dissolution. No word
of complaint or impatience ever
escaped her lips. But the
Heavenly Father has called her
where there is no suffering nor
sorrow and loved ones are never
parted.
May God’s grace sustain the
husband and son, brothers and
sisters a few more years when
they too will cross over and join
her in that better land.
The last rites were performed by
Rev. Bell at the Lebanon Junction
Baptist Church and with the
beautiful hymn, “Oh, Think of the
Home over There”, her remains
were tenderly borne to the
cemetery at Lebanon Junction
there to rest and await the
resurrection morn.
The sorrowing relatives and
friends have the sympathy of all
in the dark hour, and may this be
the light to guide their faltering
steps to the home - not made by
mortal hands - beyond the valley
of darkness.

***Death Claims Mrs. Anna
Newton
Mrs. Anna Newton, beloved wife
of Rollie Newton, died at her
home near Pleasant Grove

Dec. 9, 1916. She was sick only a

to rest in the Pleasant Grove
Cemetery Sunday after funeral
services conducted in the home.
She is survived by her husband
and three children, two sisters,
Mrs. Mae Harris, of Pleasant
Grove, Mrs. Sallie Howlett, of

R. S. Stallings, J. P. Stallings, one
aunt, Mrs. Clara French, of

a cousin, Mrs. Claud Lutes, all of
Lebanon Junction, Ky. She will
be greatly missed in her home and
neighborhood where she was a
kind neighbor and a loving
mother and wife. Her death has
left a void in her home which
cannot be filled. We extend our
sympathy to the sorrowing
husband, children and relatives
and friends.
***A Beautiful Girl Dies
Greatly lamented was the death of
Miss Bessie Ross, at her home in
Louisville, Friday, December 8,
19l6 of peritonitis, when her spirit
took its flight to the God who
gave it and He who in his
wisdom, doeth all things well.
Only an illness of a few days,
then one of the lights that shed its
sunshine around the hearthstone
has faded from earthly vision to
shine as a beacon light of hope on
the shore of eternal beyond. The
idol of a mother’s heart, the life
of a father, being the spring day
companion of her two brothers
and her twin sister, whom she
idolized. Her death will be
mourned in the dreary days to
come with all the compassionate
tenderness the human heart can
bestow; but she has gone from
earth to return no more. The
flower has fallen, its stem rudely
broken by death in the spring time
of beauty and grace, but Jesus has
snatched it to bloom as a token of
His love and delight ‘neath the
smile of His grace.
If words and feelings of sympathy
have taught to assuage the bitter
pangs imposed by death, then
bereaved ones do we extend ours
in the truth and sincerity. Bessie
leaves to mourn her loss besides
her mother and father, Mr. and
Mrs. J. K. Ross, Oscar and
Howard and twin sister, Mamie, a
host of relatives and friends. She
was a niece of J. W. ??? of this
place.
Grieve not, for your darling
Bessie has only gone before and
will wait for you on the other
shore where life immortal forever
dwells. Funeral services were
held at her home on Central
Avenue, Monday by the Rev.
Sweets, Editor of the Christian
Observer, after which her remains
were laid to rest in Cave Hill.
***Farm Folks - Big 4 act play by
local talent.
The play to be presented at
Fraternal Hall, Friday, December
22, by local talent for the benefit
of the Red Men promises to be a
most entertaining affair.
The rehearsals during the past
week show an unusually strong
cast. Critics who have been
present say without hesitation,
that it is exceedingly impressive
and interesting play, the kind of a
play everybody understands and
likes. A story with a strong heart
interest and pathos, yet so
intermingled with comedy that it
is simply side splitting at times.
The story or plot is woven around
a pretty demure country girl of
eighteen and two young men. One
a handsome, polished young
business man, the other sturdy,
good looking, manly young
farmer. These parts are played by
Miss Bessie White, C. F.
Troutman Jr and Irwin Funk.
Mrs. Annalea Smith, as “Delia”,
the hired girl; Mrs. Cora Roby as
“Mrs. Peasley”, the country
gossip and C. A. Masden as the
“Jack of all Trades” supply the
comedy and you will never see it
supplied in greater abundance and
variety.
Other important and difficult
parts are played by Mrs. Hallie
Hamilton, Miss Laura Daniel,
Mrs. Jim Croan, Prof. Ora Roby
and Mr. Henry Hamilton.
A special musical feature will be
rendered by the Red Men band.

***The Times Did It
It is not often that the Louisville
Times can be indicted for using
dynamite, but it certainly turned
loose a few sticks of that
dangerous substance when it
published that celebrated article
on the submission of State Wide
and Woman’s Suffrage.
Not only have democratic
politicians and papers been taking
sides with the Times; Many of the
most prominent and popular men
in the republican party have
changed over in favor of
submission. Scared to death lest
the democrats might “beat them
to it”, A. T. Hert (He was Hurt
when Hughes was beaten), John
P. Haswell and Edwin P. Morrow
have come out flat footed for
submitting the amendments.
O’Rear and Bennie Bruner were
on that side “alretty”, and Powers
and Langley are dry. E. T. Frank,
is also for submission, so John
McCulloch and Richard Ernst and
Marshall Bullitt and Dirk Stoll
are the four republican leaders
who have not declared for it.
Until the Times published that
article, Ed Morrow was supposed
to be as wet as a big Mississippi
catfish, but since then he has been
as dry as the arid desserts of
Sahara, or Death Valley,
California.
Judge Charles A. Hardin,
Chairman of the State Central and
Executive Democratic Committee
favors a submission of the
amendments on the high ground
that the people should be allowed
to have a voice in the matter.
The Times has started out for a
hard, aggressive fight and with
it’s large and intelligent corps. of
workers, it will make its influence
felt.
It would not be at all surprising
the republicans held a State
Platform Convention in the spring
and adopt a platform for the
guidance of their representatives
in the next legislature, favoring
the submission of State wide and
Woman’s Suffrage. They are just
a little anxious to beat the
democrats to it in advocating
those two amendments and
convention may be looked for in
the late winter or early Spring.
Just what action the democrats
will take, we do not care to say,
but they will be “around”, there at
the psycholo gical mome nt
wearing bells and getting busy.

***Resolution
At a meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the town of
Shepherdsville, the following
resolution was adopted.
Where as: Bullitt County was one
of the first counties in the State to
vote in favor of Local Option and
Shepherdsville was one of the
first towns and:
Where as: The Whiskey Trade
persistently refuses to recognize
the expressed will of a large
majority of our citizens and
continues to flood our town and
County with intoxicating liquor
and to debauch our young man
and:
Where as: We have waited in vain
for moral or active aid from our
so called “Friends of County
Unit” or the “Model License
League”, therefore be it:
RESOLVED: That we the Board
of Trustees of Shepherdsville
hereby go on record as favoring
the submission of amendments to
the constitution prohibiting the
m a n u f a c t u r e or s a l e of
intoxicating liquor in Kentucky
and favoring Woman’s Suffrage
at the earliest possible time when
it can be legally done.
