caused any embarrassment to local Build
ing and Loan Associations, but these are
| serious ones and almost universal. One is
that at first i'll q local organization there
are q great many borrowers and but little
money to lend. The consequence is that
a great many borrowers are necessarily
| disappointed. AS time rolls on these Dor
rowers. after repeated disappointments,
draw out, sell ont or make other arrange
ments to get money. Then money begins
to accumulate, but there is no demand for
it. unlees capital is constantly invested
it is not profitable. Hence, many local as
sociations have been compelled, in order
to mature their stock. to force members to
borrow, whether they need money or not,
or charge each member with interest,
which comes to the same thing. The 9TH
er difficulty is that local associations can
not form new series very often, because
their operations being confined to one
town, sufficient number of new members
cannot be obtained. This leaves those
who may wish to take stock from time to
time without the opportunity of doing so.

vides complete remedy for both the se de-
fects. 1t does national business 1t has

Wants the Home.

Elizabethtown is making an effort
to secure the Soldiers Home, which
it is proposed to locate at the old
Kentucky Military Institute. The
board of directors of that institution
have received a proposition from the
Elizabethtown people to donate the
grounds and contribute a sum suffi-
cient to erect buildings, and if our
people expect to secure the Home
they will have to contribute literally
to the fund being raised to purchase
the K. M. I. property.

A Little Off.

Although the officials of the Ken
lucky Midland Railroad strongly deny
that any such deal has been talked of
or is conte mplated, we are led to be-
lieve, by appearances and reliable pri-
vate information, that if said road is
not already under the control Of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia Railway System, the new lessees
of the Louisville Southern, it soon
will be. The Midland is not a finan-
cial success for it's present owners
and they are, we understand, the par
ties who are most anxious to make
the sale or lease. But like all rail-
road companies they are going to
deny everything until a definite con-
clusion is arrived at In the event of
the E. IT,, V. & G. people securing pos
session Of the Midland, an extension
of the road from Frankfort to a point
renceburg, is talked of and will
doubtless be built Woodford Sun.
We do not know, of course, where
the Sun man gets his "reliable pri-
vate information" but we have infor-
nation from the officers of the road
that the young man is mistaken. 1t
is true there was an effort made to
get the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia people to lease or buy the
road but it failed, and there is not
now any trade on had with them, and
no probability of any being made.
Such deal would be good thing
for Frankfort and we would be glad
to see it consumated.

to the fund for it's erection. Water
pipes were scattered all over the city
ready to be laid, and many old build

Editor Bruce Champ, of the Bourbon
News, was also visited, and he, to-
gether with Mrs. Champ and Miss
Maggie Clay, accompanied us to the
depot. The return trip was made in
good time, and the pleasures of the
evening were wound up by an ele-
giant supper at the Capital Hotel, at
which most of the male portion of
the party were entertained by Messrs.
Clark and Harper.
To say that the trip was an exceed
ingly pleasant one is putting it mild
ly, for everyone expressed themselves
as highly delighted with it, and were

ladies and gentlemen: Mr.. and Mrs.

At the station in Paris we found
hacks awaiting us, which had been
telegraphed for by Mr.. Clark, and
spent the hour between trains in
driving about the city.
Without making any noise or blow
about it, Paris has gone steadily

Sons Of the
.AO1l.


The annual meeting ol the Society
of the Sons of the Revolution, of
Kentucky, was held i'm the Senate
Chamber, in this city, on Wednesday.
The election of officers for the ensu-
ing year was held, which resulted as
follows:
President -- Judge Horatio w.
Bruce, of Louisville.
Vice-President Col. Lewis Buck
ner, of Louisville.
Secretary - John Buchanan, of
Louisville.
Treasurer Hon. Grant Green, of
this city.
Historian Capt. Ed. Porter Thomp-
son, of this city.
A new constitution and bylaws
were adopted, and applications were
received for quite number of new
members.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, Since the last annual
meeting OF this society, John Mason
Brown, one of it's members, has de-
parted this life.
Resolved, That in the death of our
associate we have been deprived of
one of our most useful members; his
family of a devoted head, and the
State of son whose life reflected
honor upon the Commonwealth
Gifted with a commanding person
and brilliant intellect, he had en-
joyed the advantages of a thorough
education, and had steadily risen in
his profession, until death found him
in its front rank. In similar degree,
he had SO progressed in sound and
moral influence that, although never
in public office, within the sphere of
his acquaintance and in the commu-
nifty in which he lived, his eminence
was conceded, and his counsel fol-
lowed in all matters pertaining to the
public good. No party lines separa-
ted him from his tellow-men in effort
to advance the interests of society or
to promote the welfare Of the COM
munity. A pronounced party man,
difference Of political opinion could
not narrow the ardor OF his personal
friendship; learned and busy law
yer, he was the generous friend of
the novitiate at the bar, and the lib
eral counsellor of his friends and the |
unfortunate in distress. Hand in |
hand with the exacting duties of his
profession, he pursued his classical !
and literary studies and adorned a
life of close professional service by
contributions to history, and the
graces of refined literator.
That one endowed with SO many
elements of usefulness to his genera
tion should be taken from the scenes
Of his labor is matter Of public regret,
even when the allotted space has been
but the sorrow deepens
when we reflect that he had scarce
but reached the maturity of his
powers.
In every form in which personal
friendship or public esteem could
manifest itself, the tribute Of affec-
ion and admiration has been fittingly
paid, and it remains for us only thus
to add our humble testimo-
hal to his death.
RESOLVED, That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of the So
,iety. and copy be furnished to the
amily of the deceased.
