W. Tilson. Theso nine elubs are lociitecl as near as possible in the various com munities that come nearest eoyering tho eptire county. The members of {lieso clubs will be junior demonstra tors for their communities. Eaeh elub member is selecting a project involv Jntr ;? nursbrqd p'g or calf or poultry ;;nd ! c or slic will demonstrate tho '?-"'?vim * manfigement, feed, housing and care of whatever type of livestock is used in the demon stration. Meetings will be held each months by these boys and girls in each Community Club with the County Farm Agent present to aid in the programs and discussions relating to *the proper carrying out of the work with the project a home and build ing up a strong community spirit of cooperation in working out any prob lems of the: community. Some things Community Agricul tural Club Work teaches the boys and girls. ? 1. Proper care of purebred ani mal commands and cultivates inter est and pride in the work the boy or girl is doing and these are essentials of success in any work. 2. The financial income from club work teaches the boy or girl that they have ability to cam money and save money, hence the important lesson of thrift. 3. A succcssful project carried out by any boy or girl gives them confidence to do other and more dif ficult tasks. 4. A club boy or girl learns that purebred livestock properly cared for pays far better than scrubs, and that livestock which produce a product the market demands are essential to making farming pay. Club work will build up a strong community pride and cooperative community spirit so much needed among our farmers today. 6. Club work develops leaders and leadership is much needed in any vocation of life. 7. The training acquired thru community agricultural club work will i^ake a better farmer, business cv professional Man or woman out cl any boy cr Parents if y.-n.T b;y or girl is in terested in ci !i ?. ' v .'/.nccuiage him or her to ti' ?? ; a-iive part in the work and i J, tp secure the purebred pig., calf r>r poultry neces sary for carrying on their demon stration.

'' I am going to do my best to make a good record", said the prisoner as | the gates were closed on him, "an<: I have not given up hope of getting my situation cleared up before long.' Langley expressed the belief tha in time he would be exonorated of the charges against him when all the facts in the case were known, and declar ed further that his friends wouk continue their investigation of th circumstances in the caee in an effort to furnish the federal authorities with further evidence favorable to tho prisoner. Mrs. Langlc3r and the children will remain in Pikovi" ?, Ky., during his incarc. muon here, ho said.

BUCHANAN On Tuesday January 26, about 2 A. M. the spirit of Mr. \V. O. Buch anan (better known as "Uncle Os") took its flight from earth to Heaven, after an illness of 6 months and one day. He was in his eighty fourth year. He was a loving husband, a kind and dutiful father, 9 desirable neighbor, a worthy citizen and con sistent christian. He was the darling of the U. D. C. and the reason why we did not do more for his comfort during his sick ness, was because there were so many willing and eager hands in his own home to administer to his every need; that wo feared our help would prove a hindrance. > The funeral at tho Baptist church Wednesday at 1 P. M. was largely attended by relatives and friends. Services conducted by Rev. Thai Deitz, assisted by Rev. J. J. Gray and Rev. W. M. Robbins. The floral offering was magnificent. We often read about pretty weddinps and other pretty things, but, who ever read of a pretty funeral? Well I l'ecl just like calling this a pretty funeral. For those who knew him as I did, could not think of his cold corpse in a casket hidden by beauti ful flowers; but of his spirit as a shining light on the other shore. May our Heavenly Father who doeth all things well bless and com fort the loving wifo and children, and help tliera to feel and know that he is safe and happy in that home, that he begged to go to during h!.> illness, is my prayer. Mrs. J. H. Cathey.
