Woman Appointed County Road Engineer. Mrs. Wilda Curtis Named By Judge. Probably the first woman in Kentucky to be named a County Road Engineer has been appointed by Judge R.C. Tartar, Judge of the Pulaski County Court. This week he named Mrs. Wilda Cecil Curtis as Engineer for Pulaski County with all authority to act in road matters. Mrs. Curtis has been clerk of the Court for some time, and has handled a great deal of the road work. In the order making the appointment, Judge Tartar authorizes Mrs. Curtis to countersign all papers and documents pertaining to the administration of road affairs and she is authorized and empowered to act in all matters affecting the proper handling of the road interests and directed to perform any and all duties prescribed by law. Mrs. Curtis is the wife of William Curtis, manger of the Central Motor Company. She is a young woman of unusual executive ability and will make the county an efficient road engineer. Morrow Announces For Police Jude. Is Opposed by Mayor George C. Cruse. The announcement of W.B. Morrow for re-election to the office of Police Judge of the City of Somerset has added fuel to the fire and a pretty fight is on. Mr. Morrow will be opposed by Mayor George Cruse, who announced several weeks ago. Each candidate represents different political factions and while the city races are supposed to be free from politics, we see now a pretty political fight. Mr. Morrow was campaign manager for the Kennedy forces in the recent primary. Mr. Cruse was secretary and general manager for the opposing faction. So there you are. The Democrats will hold the balance of power. Offers Reward. Crescent Lodge No. 60, K. of P., has offered a reward of $200.00 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who assassinated R.T. King at his home near Somerset on August 4th. Governor Morrow has also offered a reward of $200.00. Big Crowd. Circus day was a big day in Somerset last Saturday. It is said that 5,000 people attended the afternoon performance. The show was about like the average circus. A good many people complained of the prices charged. School News. On July 29th, thirty-five took the county teachers examination. Supt. Meece reports that 26 passed the examination and will be issued a certificate. Nine received first class certificates and 17 second class. Out of the number 14 are now teachers and the others took the examination to improve their standing. The highest grade was made by Miss Viola Quinton. Her grade was 92 8-12 percent. Miss Quinton lives at Science Hill. There are seventeen vacant schools in the county at this time but Mr. Meece hopes to fill quite a number of them with those who passed the examination recently. The attendance this year is the best in the history of the county. Mr. Meece says the average is about 90 per cent. Fiscal Court. The Pulaski County Fiscal Court met last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. An order was made selling the voting house and grounds at Bourbon precinct to John Allen for $1.00. Lonzo Fletcher was appointed agent and inspector for the county on the Crab Orchard Road. Ten thousand dollars worth of road and bridge bonds were sold to the First National Bank to take up vouchers on the Ansel Pike. It was ordered that an ad valorum tax of $1.50 be levied on each $100.00 of taxable property lying in Somerset Public Graded School District outside the City of Somerset for school purposes. A poll tax of $2.00 was placed on each male inhabitant in the said territory. There will be no poll tax on the women. In Session. The City Board of Supervisors are in session to hear complaints of property owners who think their assessment has been placed to high. The board did fine work last year and we believe they are gong to do the same this year. The assessment has always been to low in Somerset. That is the reason the city is always in debt. Buys Haynes. Mr. W.R. Muth returned from Michigan Tuesday with a 1922 Haynes touring car. Mr. Chas. Dunn accompanied him. They were held up by the police in New Albany, Ind., because they had no license or bill of sale for the car. It took much persuasion to be allowed to proceed on their journey. A Good Friend. Rev.

The Southern Railway News Bulletin published the following item that will be read with interest by friends in Somerset: Frank Fenton Forth, formerly district passenger agent at Nashville, Tenn., has been promoted to district passenger agent at Birmingham, Ala., vice C.N. Smith, deceased. Mr. Forth entered the service in December, 1902, as yard and file clerk at Somerset, Ky., and Chattanooga, Tenn., he was promoted to city passenger and ticket agent at Chattanooga in November, 1910; to traveling passenger agent at Chattanooga in October, 1915; to agent, consolidated ticket office, Chattanooga, in May, 1918, and to district passenger agent at Nashville, in April, 1920. Ogden Resigns. The following item is taken from the Harlan Enterprise, Harlan, Ky., and will be read with interest here: E.L. Ogden, cashier of the Harlan State Bank, since the date the bank was established, has resigned and he has been succeeded as cashier by G.T. Howard, who for some time has held the bank vice presidency. The future plans of Mr. Ogden have not been given out. For a brief time, at least, he will be in Somerset, where his father has banking interests. As a banker and citizen Mr. Ogden was highly popular in Harlan. A large percentage of the credit for the fast growth of the bank belongs to him. The bank officials all appreciated the great value of his influence and service and asked him urgently to reconsider his proposal to retire, and following his actual retirement, a fine tribute was paid him in a resolution presented in a directors meeting. It is said everyone connected with the bank regretted to see him go. Former Pulaskian Dies In Montana. John H. Watson was born in Pulaski County, Ky., May 8th, 1836, and died at Threeforks, Montana, August 4th (?), 1921. On March 15th, 1861, he was married to Ellen McKenzie who preceded him to the grave thirteen years. To this union were born twelve children, nine of whom survive. Mrs. Surreilda Gastineau and Willie Watson died in Kentucky, and Andy J. Watson was killed by a railroad train in Montana. The living are: Cy W. Watson, Mrs. A.M. Burleson, and Mrs. Fannie Gilmer of Missoula, Mont.; Mrs. Alice Alexander and Grover Watson, Threeforks, Mont.; George Watson, Threeforks, Mont.; George Watson, Spokane, Wash.; Alfred G. Watson, Alberta, Canada; Mrs. Sarah Fuson, Covington, Ky.; and Mrs. W.A. Isaacs, Dallas, Texas. Mr. Watson's occupation was farming, and he resided the greater portion of his live near Woodstock, in the county in which he was born. In politics Mr. Watson was a Democrat, but had many friends among the ranks of the Republicans, which was shown by his election as Sheriff of Pulaski County, which is largely Republican, and he served his term without fear or favor and made an excellent officer. He was an upright Christian gentleman and a lifelong member of the Baptist church. After the funeral services which were held August, 7th., at the residence of Mrs. Alexander, his remains were laid to rest in Meadowview Cemetery, Manhattan, Montanan. J.B. Bobbitt, Manhattan, Mont. McKee Family. The following article is taken from the Masonic Home Journal and is about the ancestors of Mrs. Woodson May, of this city. McKee Lodge, No. 144, at London, Ky., was chartered Sept. 6, 1846. This lodge has never been molested. She has withstood the heat and burden of the day from that good day down to the present time. The first Master was John McKee, for whom the lodge was named. Another generation of McKee's sprang up and J.V.S. McKee, a son of John McKee, Sr., became Master of the Lodge. The third generation of McKee's came on, of which Jno. C. McKee is one. He, too, has been Master of the old Lodge many times. He is the father of three sons, and two daughters. John, the eldest son, is a resident of Canada, is a dentist and is said to have amassed a fortune in the Great Northwest. Robert McKee, the second son, is a banker and lives in Jellico, Tenn. The third and youngest son lives in East St. Louis. Of the two daughters, Miss Lucy, the oldest, married Mr. Woodson May, of Somerset, Ky., where they now live. The younger daughter, Miss Nellie, married a Mr. Jones, who resides at London, Ky. This family of McKee were of the old Blue Stocking Presbyterians, a family known up to the fourth generation as men and women whose lives stand for something. The younger generations, however, have affiliated with the M.E. Church. The reason this old Masonic Lodge has stood the heat and burden of the day through all these years, was from the fact that there were some fine brethren who had charge of the lodge affairs. The Lovelaces and Marnes, and lots of others, who made the old lodge one of the best country town lodges in the State. She has gone over the top in the Million Dollar Campaign about three times. God bless you men; let it stand for something to belong to this Great Order. Typhoid Fever Is Caused By Unsanitary Conditions. Sewerage System Badly Needed In Somerset. Louisville, Ky., Aug. 8 - Basing his recommendations on a recently completed investigation of an outbreak of typhoid at Owensboro, State Sanitary Engineer, F.C. Dungan, has made to Dr. A.T. McCormack, State Health Officer, nine recommendations which, if put into effect immediately, and continued attention is paid to the necessity of having a good water and milk supply, will mitigate the severity of the present outbreak of typhoid in Kentucky. If these measures are not adopted, Mr. Dungan says, the disease will be certain to continue to occur sporadically. His recommendations follow: All municipalities should compel the liberal use of lime in privies and vaults, especially during the fly season. All persons who have not had typhoid fever nor been vaccinated within the last two years, should receive the typhoid inoculation immediately. Wherever there are houses on sewer lines, but not connected thereto, ordinances should be passed requiring all houses to be connected where sewers are available. All privies, vaults or cesspools existing on property which now is connected or which is connected in the future should be destroyed or filled. In municipalities which are only partially sewered, sewers should be built in the remaining portions without delay. All municipalities should make more frequent collections of garbage and trash. All property owners in the State should be held responsible or the growth of weeds either on their property or on the grass plot in the sidewalk. A general clean up of all municipalities should be made immediately. Municipalities should have city plans and should be divided into city zones. Well laid out cities are kept clean more easily and have lower disease rates. World War And The Civil War Compared By J.K. Ashley, of Science Hill, Kentucky. The world war in which the United States was so recently engaged was of a magnitude that so far eclipses anything in warfare of which there is any previous history; in view of the foregoing fact, the remnant of old veterans, North and South, who participated in the Civil War of the Sixties. Yes, these old tottering Vets have been persuaded through imagination that the Rebellion and War for the Union was a mere family scrap of little importance from a military point of view. Yet, my comrades, as a rule I find are, willing to evaporate most of their patriotic pride and valor that was achieved in the great Civil War of the States, but I wish to assure my old friends that by a correct comparison there is nothing to lose for them but the laurels of American valor yet remains in the Western Hemisphere, the same courageous blood that built this great Republic on the ruins of European tyranny. Just a few facts to confirm my assertion that the Civil War was the greatest war, comparatively, ever fought; that is was safer at any time during the high tide of the European War and less fatal than between Sumpter and Appamatox. Just a few figures and facts from the Federal point of view. In 1860, the entire population of the United States was just slightly less than half what it is now. Of this number about two-fifths early in 1861 were in rebellion against the Federal Government. Notwithstanding this fact, the Federal troops enlisted during the war exceeded over two million. Seven hundred thousand of this number died of wounds and disease. The South, lost proportionately, or a grand total of one million, four hundred thousand men. Had the loss been comparatively as great in the World War, many more sad homes would have been made for the loss of a great additional number of our boys that would never have returned. What was the result of meeting our own blood on the field of carnage is briefly told in the foregoing facts that we had run up against ourselves and had our Southern friends been possessed with equal numbers and resources the lost cause might have been North of the Mason and Dixon line, but fortunately our victory was the happy result of again assembling the States under the same old flag that again floats over a united people of the greatest republic of the civilized world. Fraternally yours until the last roll call, J.K. Ashley, Formerly of the 20th Ind. Battery. Farm News. The growing of alfalfa is reckoned by most farmers to be a crop for city farmers to play with. Alfalfa in this county has proven to be a paying hay crop. Lime is one big essential for alfalfa and the farmers that used plenty of lime six years ago on alfalfa land have a good set today. O.H. Hubble at Grundy has four acres of alfalfa that is now ready for the third cutting. Two acres of this alfalfa was sown in 1915 and has had nothing done to it but cut three times per year. This crop of alfalfa is as good today as it was the first year it was cut. Mr. Wm. Bates, Mr. S.B. Smith, Mr. John Murphy and Mr. Hunt and Mr. Plackey, all near Grundy, are successful growers of alfalfa. Alfalfa hay for dairy cows cannot be excelled; it partly takes the place of high price concentrates. Mr. Geo. Richardson near Somerset is sowing five acres of alfalfa this year. Mr. S.B. Smith and Mr. Wm. Bates are also sowing alfalfa. Hospital Notes. Mrs. Phoebe Ford, who underwent a very serious operation for gall stone, is getting along nicely.
