THAT COMMITTEE.

TIE County Democratic Committee
has been called to meet in Hardinsburg
next Friday. Precisely the nature of
business TO be transacted we do not
know, but we presume it is something Of
interest. But ut present we do not
recall anything Of grave importance for
the committee to consider Every thing
80 far rs the good Of the party is concern
ed seems TO be in apple pie order. The
boys are all in and those who are not in
can get in. All they have to do is to
call for what they want. The Demo
cracy is most assuredly in the front and
has the right side up with care. This is
particularly the case here for it seems
that the "other fellows" are not in it.
Never was there time when the out
look was more fattering. Democracy
backed by the boys all along the line OF
march has filed everything in its wake.
Not even the secret ballot, a device for
checking bribery and general corruption,
things Of which we were openly accused
interfered with the procession. At the
last election the Democracy fought
against combinations, the secret ballot
and the Third party thrown in and then
triumphed. All Of this was not without
some difficulty along the way, but we got
there.
The object OF the call by the chairman
we suppose is 10 look after our organiza-
ton. We may joke over the result of
elections and things that have been, but
coming down to business let MS take it
seriously. True there isn't much now,
il anything to require the attention Of
the committee, but it is well enough for
us to stay on guard and be ready for con-
tingences. There is nothing like thorough
organization. Before another contest
comes on, let us be prepared for it.
Just now things are little slack in even
county political machinery, but it can
very soon be warmed up. When a fight
comes let us be ready The committee
should obey the call and prepare to lay
up all the loose gaps. II there is any
immediate work let us have il and an
order for the boys TO fall in line. Here's
looking at you, Mr.. Chairman.

Wheat harvest is on hands now.
Spared Kasey runs the shop now.
ALI Taylor is going to buy the Colmes
farm.
John Slaton has bought the Taylor
farm.
We wish we had cash store to write
about.
Mrs. Hardin went to Hardinsburg last
week.
The citizens of our town are very in
dustrious in improving our town, but the
improvements made by our sister city
Bewleyville since Cash Store has been
running shows us decidedly that we are
not in it. We had an occasion few
days ago to visit our sister city and see
how our brethren run their town. At
the corner of Stith and Drury streets we
took a car for the Cash Store. The
street cars are the old fashioned kind
that carries a mans soul along at the
rate of about four miles an hour and are
drawn by shanks ponies. At Drury and
Paul streets we alighted to inspect the
new Cash Store. 1t is beautiful build
ing four stories high one hundred feet
deep and an eighty foot front. 1t was
piled from top to bottom with goods they
hadn't sold through their Cash System"
Mayor Jones then invited us TO inspect
the bank on Doughnut Hill which is
operated by the Cash Store. From there
we went to the City Hall on Cinnamon
Flat another gift of the Cash Store to the
city. 1t is fine building one they may
well be proud Of Leaving there we Wis
tied several of the fine parks and avenues
OF the city and then returned to the
Cash Store. The streets through which
we passed all had asphalt pavements and
the sidewalks were laid with vitrified
brick from Cloverport Brick Works. All
a gilt of the Cash Store. On returning
to the store we were shown the code Of
laws given by the city council who by
the way are the operators of the Cash
Store. We will try to give them as neal
as we can remember:
|. Any one who chews tobacco has
free permission to spit on the floor.
2. Any one who shall wilfuIly cease
from swearing shall be- fined ten dollars
3. Amy one who does not get drunk
and waller in the gutter viii be fined five
dollars and cost.
4. The Cash Store will sell to everybody
it can for cash and when it can't it vii
sell on credit.
5. Who ever disobeys the above Law
will be sent to Frankfort for life.

Hon. w. L. Minor, of Holt, KY, was
in town last Monday. Mr. Minor was
mixing pretty freely with the Democrats
and gave 1t out that he was a candidate
for the State Senate from this district,
composed of the counties of Brecken-
ridge, Meade ami Hancock. Mr., Minor
made no public announcement of his
candidacy here, but he told those whom
no met that it was his purpose to run
and That they might consider him fully
in the field. A few years ago he made a
race for the Legislature, but was defeat
ed. lie feels now that he has stronger
claims upon the party than he had then.

An Artistic Success.

The concert given by Miss Goodson's
music class last night was an artistic sue
cess. Only a moderate crowd was in at
tendance. The solos were all well rend-
cred. The singing OF Mrs. Wimp, OF
Irvington, was the feature of the even
ing. She has voice both flexible and
sweet, and is particularly effective in the
middle register. Mrs, Lischey, who is a
favorite here always, sang. with her
usual grace and sweetness. Prof. Glib
son rendered very pleasing violin solo.
The other numbers were well sustained
throughout and the entertainment was a
most enjoyable one,
Miss Chastine MacGregor, who was
expected to take part in the concert, tel
egraphed that it would be impossible for
her to come.-Owensbor Messenger.

THE crowds are increasing at the
Worlds Fair. The great exhibition
opened May LIST, but the exhibits were
not all in place, and even now the work
of placing exhibits is still going on. The
gradual increase in the attendance, how
ever, shows that the people will patron
ize the show and that there is probable
ity of its being a success in financial
way. There has been a great deal of
criticism over the fair, first one way and
another ever since the opening day, but
it is pretty much conceded that it is a
wonderful exhibition, far superior to
anything that was ever before under
taken. Those who have visited it come
away impressed that it is much larger
than any idea they had formed of it, and
that the displays are superior in magnif-
cence to the representations already
made. People will visit the fair from all
sections of the country before it closes,
and feel that they have been well paid
for their time and money.

All OF our farmers that wished to set
tobacco were ready, and, as far as can
learn, took advantage of the good season
which was given them last Wednesday
and Wednesday night. Though no great
amount is being set in thi section. The
farmers, think, have almost abandoned
the idea of tobacco growing only for
home use. The exceedingly low price
for their hard labor is discouraging in the
extreme, to say pothing OF time lost.

Ensof of Paris Life ON American students.
An American artist Of considerable
reputation, while speaking the other day
with reference to the easy going Bohe-
milan habits SO common among men In his
profession, said: 1T Is not a pleasant
thing to say, but ! believe 1t Is true that
period Of two or three years Of student
life in Paris practically ruins about as
many young artists as 1t benefits. Stu
dent life in Europe, and especially in
Paris, Is full of allurements and tempta-
tions which only those capable of great
self control are able to resist. It is in its
social aspects delightfully."- free and easy
sort of life, which appeals almost ire
sistibly to the average young man. It
develops the habit Of Incidence with
frightful rapidity, and from Incidence il
is but short step to Indifference, dissi-
patton and reckless self neglect. Con-
vivial associations and the gay company
of colony made Of kindred spirits as
bright and magnetic rs himself too often
put his ambitions to sleep, and he drifts
on and on until he becomes spendthrift
and a lounger, il nothing worse. At the
end Of two or three years he returns to
America, his money spent, his health
frequently shattered and himself 80 thor
oughly bohemianized that he finds it diff
ficult If not impossible ever to regain
anything of the orderly, methodical habit
OF industry upon which his professional
success depends. New York Herald.
