Supt. Meece is Re-Elected County School Superintendent of Pulaski County for Term of Four Years. At a recent meeting of the County Board of Education, Mr. L.E. Meece, who has served as County Superintendent of Schools so efficiently for the past four years, was unanimously re-elected for another term. Mr. Meece has made one of the best Superintendents the county has ever had and has greatly advanced the cause of education in the county. He is universally popular with all of the teachers. When Mr. Meece took over the office four years ago he found a deficit of $27,000.00. He has reduced this to about $10,000.00. During his term the salaries of teachers have been doubled and there is a much better school spirit throughout the county. The attendance is also the best in the history of the county. Mr. Meece is a young man and has determined to make a record in the office. His ambition is to make the Pulaski County schools the best in the State and to have the best teachers obtainable. We believe the board acted wisely in re-electing him. Prize Winners. Mr. Sam Hicks, secretary of the Pulaski County Fair, states that Mr. J. Honeycutt of Norwood, Ky., season ticket No. 935, drew the bull; Mrs. Chas. Roberts, Somerset, lady's ticket No. 791, drew the cow. The stock has already been delivered. Lucy Brady (no address) drew the number for the calf. All those who bought tickets on the Ford Sedan can get their money back by calling at R.J. Smith Co., and asking for Carter Bros. Shanks Here. Mr. Milo Shanks of Elmira, N.Y., president of the Kentucky Coal and Electro Chemical Company has been in the city this week on business and going over the grounds on which the big plant will be located. Work was stopped for a few days on account of some trouble in securing the right of way but things will open up in a short time and work will be pushed to completion. Cook To Run. Attorney J.R. Cook has made up his mind to make the race for City Attorney and his petition is being circulated now. Mr. Cook is a splendid citizen and a Christian gentleman and would make a good record as city prosecutor. There are two other candidates, Judge Paul and Harlan Cundiff. Bethurum Slated. There is a rumor afloat that Judge B.J. Bethurum can have the appointment of legal advisor to the State Prohibition Enforcement Officer if he wants it. The place has been offered him but he has not made up his mind yet as to whether he will accept. He has several other flattering offers and is now in Ponca City, Okla., looking into one of the offers. The job in Lexington pays $3,300 a year and takes up little time. >From France. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. T. Washington, 135 Central Ave., received a message Thursday morning that the body of Corporal George T. Washington Jr., who was killed in action in France, left Hoboken, N.J., Thursday and due in Lexington sometime Friday morning. W.R. Millard will take charge of the body and burial will take place in the family lot, Lexington Cemetery. Rev. Dr. J.W. Porter will officiate. King Signs. Mr. Dud King, of Lexington, a brother of Mitchell King of this city, has just signed up to go with the Louisville team, Kentucky Colonels, of the American Association. He will report today. Mr. King is well known here where he has played both baseball and football. No Danger. Dr. A.J. Wahle, City Health Officer, says there are only three cases of diphtheria in the city and that parents should feel no alarm in sending their children to school. They are just as safe in school as out. The rooms are all well ventilated, and the building is disinfected twice a week. There is no epidemic and no alarm should be felt, though every precaution should be taken. Chapter Election. The following officers were elected at a meeting of Somerset Chapter no. 25, Royal Arch Masons, held last Friday night: Harry Jeffrey, H.P.; B.L. Waddle, King; Leonard Meece, Scribe; E.P. Buchanan, C.H.; Gladstone Wesley, P.S.; Denney Gooch, R.A.C.; Frank Ellis, Recorder; Sam Ferrell, Sentinel; J.M. Richardson, Treasurer. Killed by Auto. John Steele, Corinth, Ky., 55 years of age, was struck by an automobile driven by Jonas Ware of Pulaski and received injuries from which he died at the Somerset Hospital a few hours later. The accident occurred near Science Hill, Mr. Ware was driving along at a moderate speed when Mr. Steele stepped out from behind a buggy. Mr. Ware, in trying to avoid the accident, ran his car into a ditch but the pedestrian in trying to get out of the way ran into the car. The affair was unfortunate but unavoidable. Pool - Miles. Miss Mammie Miles of this county and Mr. Carl Pool of Loraine, Ohio, were married at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 7th of September. The news of the wedding was not received here until several days after it happened. Lyon - Jackson. Mr. Russell Lyon of Parkersburg, W.Va., and Mrs. Helen Jackson also of that city, were quietly married last Friday evening at the home of Rev. W.G. Montgomery, pastor of the First Christian church. Mrs. Lyon is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Dunn, of this city, where she is well known and has many friends. Mr. Lyon holds a responsible position with the B&O Railway at Parkersburg. They will probably locate in Somerset in the near future. >From Subscriber: Hutchinson, Kansas, 406 N. Central Ave., Somerset Journal, As I am sending my subscription to your most welcome paper, will try and write a few lines also. Nothing appeals to us more than the good old Journal and its good news from home. It has been almost two years since we left the dear old county. Somehow one forgets the trend of time in a new location for it don't seem as it has been that long. This is Sabbath evening and the sound of the sweet church bells makes the place seem (I was going to say home, but will say) inhabitable. This is a fine country to live in. New friends are near but old friends are dear. It feels as though Jack Frost will spread his blanket of white over us tonight and everybody is wearing their winter apparel. Many flocks of tourists are going east now that have spent the summer in the west. Rev. Harvey Baker Smith has just returned from Kentucky. He is pastor of the best church in Hutchinson. This is a town of about 30,000 population and has the largest salt works of the world besides several other industries. Schools were opened here Labor Day with 4,500 pupils enrolled. Preparations are being made here now for the big Kansas State Fair beginning the 17th. Well, I must close by hoping the next copy of The Journal reaches me. With best wishes to The Journal and its good readers, Your old past correspondent, Bessie Warren and Family. To Corbin. Rev. W.G. Montgomery and Bennie D. Smith went to Corbin yesterday to have a conference with Rev. Kellems who will begin a revival at the First Christian church here on Sunday, the 25th. Mr. Kellems is now holding a meeting at Corbin where it was necessary to abandon the church and erect a large tabernacle to take care of the crowds. Thousands of people are attending the daily services and there have been many brought into the church. Rev. Kellems is known as one of the biggest preachers in the Christian Church and has held meetings in all the large cities of the United States. He will bring a choir leader with him and the music is going to be one of the features of the revival. Easy Money For Those Who Will Turn Up Moonshine Still Operators In County. It was announced Wednesday by Chief Prohibition Officer Blackburn that a reward of $10 will be paid by the United States Government to any person furnishing information leading to the seizure of a moonshine still. Provision for such reward has been made by the Federal Prohibition Commissioner, Washington, D.C., State and County officers whose duty it is to suppress violations of liquor laws will not be entitled to this reward. Rewards will be paid to persons entitled to them following recommendation to that effect by the prohibition enforcement officer in charge of the district in which the seizure is made and approval of that recommendation by the Commissioner at Washington. Petrified Body Exumed At Falmouth. (Falmouth Outlook). Fifteen years ago, the body of Mrs. Martin Elliott was buried in Riverside cemetery. Tuesday morning, the body was exumed and found to be petrified. At the bottom of the grave gushed a vein of water the size of a man's wrist. The grave was half full of water in a few minutes after the body was removed. O.C. Craddock and Ernest Grissom, of this city, were removing the body to another lot in the cemetery. Martin Elliott, the aged husband, who resides in this city, was beside the grave when the body was removed. The men in charge of the work dug down to a depth of about five feet when the soft earth caved in. They removed this soft earth and several times the shovel struck a hard substance in the grave. However, when the greater portion of the loose earth had been removed, the body, a solid mass, suddenly pushed forward, as though there might be air pressure beneath it. The casket and the clothing on the body were completely decayed, but the entire body, even the hair on the head, was intact. The features were plainly recognizable. The chin had dropped down before petrification was accomplished and the teeth could be seen plainly. They too, had turned to stone, the same as the rest of the body. The body in places where decaying clothing had not discolored it, was of the color of the human body, though of a pinkish hue. Straps were secured to the body and it was lived from the grave. It was many times the weight of the ordinary human body. George Washington's Prayer. The following prayer by the first President of this Republic has today a historic interest and a singular appropriateness in view of present conditions. It was sent by the President's order to all the State Governors. For a hundred years we learn all trace of it was lost. A copy of the prayer was found not long ago, and is to be placed in the new George Washington Memorial at Valley Forge, Va.: "Almighty God! We make our earnest prayer that thou wilt keep the United States in thy holy protection, that thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and abedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection for one another and for their fellow citizens at large; and finally that thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to justice, to love, mercy, and to bemean ourselves with that charity, humiliation and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech thee, through our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen." Marriage Licenses. County Clerk C.M.
