Editorial. About 1,500 persons were killed at railroad crossings in the United States last year. Most of them were in automobiles. Some didn't look; other's didn't listen, and very many tried to beat the train across the tracks. Men waste hours and hoard seconds. A fellow will loaf all day and then risk his life in his hurry to cross a congested street or race across a track ahead of a train, to save a minute! It's a poor sort of thrift. What's the hurry? It's better to get there late than not at all. Everybody knows this, of course! But the headline that tells of a family wiped out at a railroad crossing has become a commonplace of the day's news. "Stop, Look, Listen!" is the classic among snappy slogans. Everybody knows it by heart, but nearly everybody forgets it when he needs it most. Men of Pulaski County Are Urged to Attend Decoration Exercises. All ex-service men of Pulaski County are urged to attend the decoration exercises at the National Cemetery. There will be a special program rendered by the men from Pulaski who saw service in the late war. The war department has given permission for these men to wear their uniform on this day. There are something like fourteen hundred ex-service men in Pulaski county and it is hoped that a greater part of these men will be present and take part in the exercises. Utilities Co. Offers to Sell Railway to Somerset People For Fifteen Thousand. Mr. J.L. Waddle read a letter from the Kentucky Utilities Co., before the Pulaski County Citizens Business Club last Friday, in which they offer to sell the street railway to Somerset capital for $15,000.00 but with the understanding that they are to get an increase in their water and light rates. Mr. Waddle and associates have taken the matter of purchasing the plant under advisement. Will Start Work. Mr. A.T. Sears, who will have charge of the work on the Stanford Pike, is making all preparations to begin work this week or the first of next. The heavy rains has caused a delay in the work. Mr. Sears says that he is going to push the work just as fast as he can and he also says that he is going to build the best piece of pike in the county. The Judge should begin work on the road to Burnside and the approach to Pitman Creek bridge also. These are two of the most important pieces of work to be done in the county. Some Rattler. Mr. L.E. Meece killed a rattlesnake last Saturday that measured over five feet. He was riding along Haynes Knob and spied the animal making toward him. His life was short for Mr. Meece had good aim. He now hangs in Mr. Meece's office and has been viewed by many. Sells Home. Governor Edwin P. Morrow has sold his property on Oak Street to Mr. Ben Kohler of this city. Mr. Ben V. Smith is now living in the house. Mr. Smith will begin the erection of a beautiful home on North Main Street next month. Hail. Dexter Hail, son of Mr. Berry Hail, died at his home in this city last Sunday morning after a short illness. Funeral services were held at the South Somerset Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon, conducted by his pastor, Rev. T.C. Duke. Internment followed in the City Cemetery. Mr. Hail was a young man of splendid morals and a devout Christian. He had been employed lately at the Ferguson Shops where he had many friends. He also worked awhile for the Southern Express Company and for M.L. Gover. He leaves a wife and two children. Col. Morrow Coming. Col. Chas. H. Morrow will arrive in Somerset this week to visit his brother, Col. S.S. Morrow, and other relatives. He will be accompanied by his twin brother, Governor Morrow. Col. Morrow has just returned from Siberia where he has been located for the past three years. Before going to Siberia he was in China and the Philippines. It has been over five years since Col. Morrow has been at home. He will likely be stationed in Kentucky as Inspector General of the State Militia. Property Changes. Messrs W.H. and Coleman Stigall purchased the Gann property on East Columbia St. this week. Mr. Gann will give possession at once. Mr. J.L. Waddle bought the Hail property on Maple Ave. John Randall Dead. "Uncle" John Randall, well known in and around Somerset, died of heart failure at his home on North Maple Street Wednesday at the noon hour. He was 64 years of age and had been in declining health for several months. He was formerly employed at the Queen City Bakery, but had to give up his position on account of bad health. He was quiet and unassuming in his disposition and may he find the path smoother and the ravel easier in the land beyond the skies is the hope of his friends. Doing Fine in N.Y. Mr. Albert L. Clothier, a former Somerset boy, now located in New York City is making a name for himself in that metropolis. He has been a member of the firm of Wood, Clothier & Herberle income tax experts. In a card just issued Mr. Clothier announces that he has established offices at 111 Broadway and is prepared to act in an advisory capacity in tax problems and to represent clients before the proper government authorities. Elected Adjutant. At a meeting of the Pulaski County Post American Legion held last Tuesday night, Mr. Paul Dexheimer was elected Post Adjutant to succeed Mr. S.A. Waddle who resigned.

John Carr of this city and Charles T. Warren of Science Hill, who are attending State University, have been appointed to represent the University at the summer Reserve Officers Training Camp at Camp Custer, Michigan. They will be in camp about three months. Disappointing. The report of the Census Bureau giving Somerset less than 5,000 population was disappointing to the people of the city. There are many who believe there is a mistake in the figures and there has been some talk of asking the department for a recount. Griffin Appointed. Dr. T.R. Griffin, formerly of Somerset, has been appointed Medical Advisor to the Workmen's Compensation Board. The appointment was made by Governor Morrow. Dr. Griffin has been located in St. Petersburg, Fla., for the past year. Two Licenses Issued. Only two marriage licenses have been issued from the clerk's office during the past week. They were for Ingram Heath, 26 to Mollie Barnes Durham, 26; and Vola Hall to Verla Lester, 21. Where Are The Dogs? County Clerk Langdon reports that up to May 10th, he had issued a little over 500 dog licenses for the year 1920, as compared with the same period last year he had listed over 2,000. Where are the 1,500 dogs that were licensed last year? The dog law has not been repealed as some seem to think, but there is a very severe penalty for those who fail or refuse to have their dogs licensed. Killed in Illinois By Horse's Kick. The following account of the accidental death of Lemuel P. Neikirk, formerly of Somerset, Ky., is copied from a Mt. Carmel, Ohio, paper: As a result of being kicked on the left temple by a horse which he was preparing to unharness, Lemuel P. Neikirk, 67 years of age, living half a mile west, and three quarters of a mile south of Lancaster, died Saturday evening at about 9 o'clock. The accident resulting in his death occurred about 1:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The deceased and his grandson, Alva, aged about 12 years, had been to Sumner. On returning home they unhitched and put the horses in the stable, leaving them harnessed. A little later, they went to unharness the animals after feeding. The harness was taken from one. Mr. Neikirk started to crawl through a crack where some planks were off between the stalls into the stall where the other horse was. The animal became frightened and kicked him on the left temple. He was rendered unconscious and did not recover consciousness before death. The deceased was born in Somerset, Ky., Aug. 1, 1852. He was married in Kentucky, in 1875, and was the father of ten children. Two children are dead, William Parker and an infant. The widow with the following children survive: Charley, Ishmal W., James Y., Stella Neikirk and Dorris Harness, of Lancaster; Archibald, John and Lizzie Howe of Edgar County, Ill. Proposes to Establish an Industrial School in Somerset. Mr. J.M. Ross has returned from Los Angeles, California, after an absence of seven years, will present before the Pulaski County Citizens Business Club this Friday evening a brief synopsis of plans which he has for establishing a chain of Industrial Schools in the Cumberland country. It would not be practical to attempt to state the details of the very comprehensive plans for this good and much needed institution for this section here and now, but that will be fully explained and worked out as the days and weeks go by; it may be appropriate to state that all students will be required to work the same as study and to wear the same kind of clothes during school hours and those who have no money are especially the ones who will be assisted to obtain an education. It is the intention of Mr. Ross to first organize an association that will take full charge of the organizing and managing these schools and the several industrial enterprises which will be affiliated with these schools. The Cumberland Industrial School Association to be capitalized at $25,000. Whether or not Mr. Ross will be able to accomplish what he proposes is yet to be seen, but the Journal heartily endorses same plan whereby Somerset will have more places of employment for our young men and young women which make it so they would not have to go elsewhere for employment. With Baisley. Mr. C.G. Faulkner, who has been conducting a store on the south side of Somerset for the past 15 years, and who sold his business there to L.W. Gossett recently, is now with his partner, H.L. Baisley at their well known stand on Maple Street where they will increase their hardware business. Brought to Hospital.
