Editorials.
For some time there has been talk of a wholesale dry
goods house in Somerset. Several of our business
people are interested but no one has ever taken the
initiative. Somerset is ideally located for a
wholesale center. This is demonstrated by the fact
that two wholesale grocery houses have done well.
The territory to serve is large and wealthy. Why
send all our money away from home when it should be kept
here?
Professor
D.H. Lyons of Mount Vernon a A member of the State Board
of Examiners, reported to Superintendent Colvin that the
teachers in Rockcastle this year answered entirely too
well in arithmetic and geography. A special
investigator was sent down from Frankfort with the result
that another examination was ordered. Now some of
the teachers in Rockcastle have become "peeved"
at Lyons for doing a plain duty and threaten him with
dire disaster. Hurrah for Lyons and shame on such
teachers! But it looks to us, from a letter by the
State Superintendent, that the whole thing is being
white-washed. This is a very grave matter and
should be sifted to the very bottom, accompanied with a
publication of the facts in connection therewith.
We call upon Superintendent Colvin to publish the report
of his inspector. It is so seldom that such things
are exposed, that when they are the severest penalty
should be administered to the guilty. Would it not
be a good idea for the next grand jury in Rockcastle to
make a special investigation? Would it not also be
a good idea to get the State Inspector before that
body? The people should know the whole truth about
the matter. If anyone has violated the law, let
such person be exposed so that future examinations may be
on the level. We feel that for the good it will do
the grand jury of Rockcastle should give this subject a
thorough and honest investigation that the real facts may
be brought to light and that the guilty, if any, may be
speedily punished.
Receives
Patent. Mr. W.D. Brown of Somerset who invented an
automobile shock absorber and made application to the
patent office at Washington over a year ago, for a patent
has finally received it with his patent number, and he
can now proceed to manufacture them under protection from
the Government. This invention is known as Brown's
Shock Absorber and it is said by those who have used them
that they are better than any shock absorber on the
market. Mr. Brown has made several and put them on
cars in Somerset and they are now in use. He
intends to begin to advertise and manufacture the patent
on a large scale.
Wants Literature. Mrs. J.H. Kline of Atlantic City,
N.J., writes to the Board of Commerce wanting some
literature about Pulaski County. Mrs. Kline says
that she is the aunt, grand-aunt and grand-grand-aunt of
quite a number of youngsters in the county. She is
planning a visit to the county soon.
Buchanan Leaves Cumberland. Mr. Ed Buchanan, head
bookkeeper for the home office of the Cumberland Grocery
Co., at Burnside, has tendered his resignation to take
effect the first of August. Mr. Buchanan has been
connected with the Cumberland Grocery Co. for the past
thirteen years and has made the company a most valued
employee, therefore his services will be greatly
missed. He and his good family will remove to
Ashland, where he has a very nice position with a steel

and Mr. Otto Watson of Independence, Ky., son of Mr. and
Mrs. J.A. Watson of near Woodstock, this county, were
quietly married yesterday (Thursday) morning at the
Presbyterian Manse, Rev. C.H. Talbot officiating.
Those in attendance were Miss Mosella Vaught and Harold
Kennedy, and Miss Stella Bryant and Mr. Pete
Crocket. The bride and the ladies present were all
dressed in blue traveling suits with hats to match.
The ceremony was short and impressive, after which the
happy couple left for the home of the groom's parents at
Woodstock to spend a few days before going
to their home at Independence. Mrs. Watson has
forth past two years or more been one of the most valued
employees of the Farmers National Bank as bookkeeper and
has a host of friends in the city of Somerset and Pulaski
County. Mr. Watson was formerly connected with the
same institution before the war, offering his services
when the war started with Germany, made a fine soldier
