Editorial.
Over in that much loved, but greatly behind the times County of
Rockcastle,
the Fiscal Court thinks it is unwise and in fact extravagant to
appropriate
$500.00 toward helping to pay the salary for twelve months of an
Agricultural
Agent for that county. Berea College was willing to pay the
other half. In
the face of that generous offer, together with the absolute
necessity of
having a farm expert to work with and instruct the farmers, the
Fiscal Court
refused the appropriation. God pity the near sightedness of
such magistrates
and may the people wake up to the necessity and wisdom of
electing more
intelligent and progressive men to office. If the voters of
Rockcastle had
been awake as they should have been, some of the officers of that
county
would not now be connected with or a part of that important
Fiscal body.
Although such action is most discouraging, let us hope that the
good,
progressive citizens of Rockcastle will better themselves and
obtain the
services of a farm agent any way.
Everybody in Somerset is proud of the high school football
team. They
performed wonderfully last Saturday and took from the strong
Lexington team
the high school football championship of Kentucky. Again
Somerset comes to
the front and to Captain Dexheimer, the coach, goes the credit
for the
victory. Out of a squad of youngsters, with little
football experience, he
produced a winning team, one that has made football fans all over
the state
take notice. We congratulate the boys who compose the team
on the record
they have made and predict for them all more and greater honors.

Bessie Rhea Baugh. About 8 o'clock Wednesday evening
November 19th, 1919,
Bessie Rhea Baugh, wife of W. Delton Baugh, departed this life
and was wafted
into the Great Beyond after an illness of only a few days.
She was taken to
the Somerset Sanitarium on Wednesday Nov. 12th, and tho all that
loving hands
could do they were unable to help her so her spirit took its
peaceful flight
to God who gave it. Mrs. Baugh was a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John Bailey of
near Science Hill, Ky. Last June she and Mr. Baugh were
quietly married at
his home in Science Hill where they have since resided. She
was a kind and
loving wife and her many friends were numbered by her
acquaintance. Her
married life was very short but God in his wisdom saw fit to take
her unto
that beautiful shore where tears are smiles and sorrows
unknown. She leaves
a husband and a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn
her loss.
In Loving Memory.
All earthly ties are broken,
In Life we meet no more;
Our thots are with you Bessie,
On yonder distant shore.
Dearest Darling how we miss you,
Since from earth you passed away;
And our hearts are aching sorely,
As we think of you today.
Card of Thanks. I desire to express my sincere thanks to my
relatives,
friends and neighbors for their kindness shown in the sickness
and death of
my beloved wife, Bessie Rhea Baugh. I also wish to
especially thank the
nurses and attending physicians for their kindness and attention
during her
short illness. W. Delton Baugh.
