DR.. James Iledley at the Methodist

ses to BIO a beautiful and graphic pic

the Hopkinsville Public School bonds
we're called in. or the original

50, 900 have been paid of. Hopkins
Vile never made an investment Of
any kind equal to her public schools,
which are the pride Of the city and
will be entirely paid for in less than
half the time allowed for the bonds
to mature
Some unthoughtful persons are In
the habit of writing on the walls in
the post-oflice, posting bills or other
wise defacing the property. There
is no reason why this should be done
| In tho post ofiice any more than any
business house or private residence,
and for the benefit of those who do
not know, we will state that any one
who defaces property lays himself
liable to a fine, and It might be well
to be little cautious In future. The
interior of the Office will soon be
nicely painted, which will very much
improve the appearance of things.

conspicuous advertisement of Sam
