The Somerset Journal-The Oldest Democratic Newspaper in the Mountains of Kentucky Feese
& Williams |
Somerset, Ky., Friday, May
28, 1920.
Editorial. This week the Journal is twenty five years
old. During these
years many newspapers have come and gone in Pulaski. This
has not always
been a good newspaper field and for that reason papers started
here were
generally short lived. To run a first class paper in any
community several
things must unite. The people must take and promptly pay
for their local
paper. The merchants, the farmers and business people must
use the columns
of the paper to boost and sell their wares. The citizens
must unite in every
way to encourage, stick by and assist the managers of a newspaper
in order to
have a real live one; a paper that will publish the news of the
community and
develop a demand for large business enterprises throughout the
county. Such
a paper is of a great value to the people in every walk of life.
The Journal
is here to stay and to serve the people. It has always been
able to weather
the storm. The price of paper is sky high; wages are
greater than ever
before and living is much more expensive. Yet by a slight
increase in
subscription, we shall march on in our effort to give the people
of Pulaski
and adjoining counties a high class, progressive, wide-awake
Journal to which
they are justly entitled. The number of our readers is
daily increasing; our
advertisers are many. By an increase of both, we will have
even a better and
more useful paper than we have ever had before. Our purpose
is to help the
farmers, to assist the merchants and business men, to boost the
cause of
education and urge the benefits of the church, to better mankind,
to enlarge
and beautify the community in which we live and by means of all
these, to
make Pulaski greater, grander and better. The Journal
keenly appreciates the
loyalty of its patrons; the interest manifested by its many
readers and
advertisers. It's watchword is service. Its intense
desire is to publish
the news without fear or favor; to be of help to the people, to
the end that
we may all prosper, be better and more useful. God bless
our people
everywhere and may the Journal live long to carry out the objects
herein
expressed.
Editorial. If you want to know who the boss is in
Louisville now it doesn't
take you long to find out after you have been in the city a few
minutes.
Just find out who owns the Brown Taxi Co., and you have the boss
of the city.
Cars of this favored taxi company owned by Mr. Hert, are
allowed by the
police to park most anywhere and stay as long as they like, but
you let
anyone else drive up and the police will almost insult you.
The police are
surely loyal to the hand that feeds them.
Growing Impatient. The people of Pulaski County are growing
impatient over
the slowness of road improvement in the county. During
these progressive
times people are not content to live on mud roads. Our
public officials must
wake up to this fact. Pulaski needs more pikes and needs
them now. The
Journal hear complaints every day of the awful condition of the
roads.
Parker's Expected. The Danville Messenger had the following
item last week
under a Somerset date line: "In a recent letter to
relatives, Mrs. Sam
Parker of Honolulu, announces the prospects of their leaving for
the states
in the near future. Dr. and Mrs. Parker were among the
first of our young
people whom we lost to the war. The doctor offered himself
for duty shortly
after hostilities were declared. His promotion has been
rapid as was
expected by everyone who knew him. For more than two years
he and Mrs.
Parker have been on the islands. He is Major Parker now,
and from every
viewpoint, a true soldier and citizen. Mrs. Parker is the
daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. George Sallee, and we feel sure has played no small part
in Major
Parker's continual rise to promotions.
No Work At Akron. Several of our young men from Pulaski
County have in the
past few weeks gone to Akron, Ohio, and other points in Ohio,
seeking
employment. A great many of them have been disappointed
because the
factories in that section are turning men off. Several men
from Pulaski who
have been working in Akron, Toledo, Detroit and other cities have
quit their
jobs and returned home knowing that it would be only a short time
before they
would be let out.
Buys Farm. Mr. R.O. Jones, the hustling "Knight of the
Grip," has purchased
a twelve acre truck farm about two miles from New Albany,
Indiana, and will
move there to make his home. Mr. Jones is leaving Pulaski
county because he
wants to live where there are good pikes. He says he would
rather live in
Pulaski than any place on earth but bad roads are too
expensive. If our
public officials don't wake up to the great and growing needs of
the people
we will soon lose all our best farmers.
Farm News.
Corn planting will be completed this week if the weather stays
fair. Farmers
were badly behind but they got scared at so much bad weather then
when a good
work day came they exerted every effort to get ahead and have
succeeded
fairly well in catching up with the season.
Pulaski, The Buckwheat County. Pulaski County is widely
known as a buckwheat
county. A County Agent in Pike County, Illinois, is on a
deal with buckwheat
dealers in this county for a large order of seed buckwheat for
the farmers in
Pike County, Illinois, who have failed to get land to corn on
account of bad
weather an dare planning to put in a large acreage of buckwheat.
Sweet Clover. Sweet clover cannot be excelled for a soil
builder in rough
limestone land. Farmers in northeastern Pulaski near Plato
are taking hold
of sweet clover and they find it grows on exceedingly rocky
limestone land.
Mrs. J.J. Purcell has just seeded a field this spring to sweet
clover and so
has M.E. Burton. Lum Randolph has been growing sweet clover
for three years
and he now has a crop waist high right on a rocky point where
nothing else
likes to grow. Sweet clover will thrive well on any rocky
limestone land and
is an excellent crop to fill gullies and washes.
Tobacco. Tobacco setting has started and from the looks of
the beds there
seems to be a good chance for Pulaski County to get out a
reasonable early
crop. It is reported that tobacco beds in the Bluegrass are
from two to
three weeks behind a normal season.
