The highest and greatest tribute that'we can pay to any man is to say of him that he is a man of his word. A man c'annot be a manly man unless he is also an honorable man. There is no manhood without honor, no character-without integrity, no life worth living unless it is based upon the fundamental and essential principles of honor, sincerity and loyalty. Make it your ambition to be a man of your word. Never make a promise that you are not absolutely able and willing at all times to stand by to the end. The world has no use for a liar, it despises deceit and hypocrisy. The only man who can gain and maintain the confidence of his fellowmen is the man who Ji at all times truthful and hones^the man whq is a man of his word.'

Campbellsville is to have a canning factory this summer. Three acres of ground o"f of the Theodore Abell farm has been secured and the stock all subscribed. Many of the best farmers of that community are interested in the enterprise and it is said to be a sure go. That community is suitable for the raising of just such stuff as will be needed to make a canning factory a success and we predict that the enterprise will meet with success from the start. The only question about the success of the enterprise is getting enough stuff raised to keep the factoi^y running but' the promoters claim that they have enough stockholders who will raise sufficient stuff to keep the factory running.
