"POP" BEAT THE MONOPOLY.
And Gave the Youngsters Chance
to Get Weighed.

A Philadelphia Ledger reporter
occupied one of the benches In o,
downtown square with politician,
when, sauntering along at an easy
gait, came the father of family,
and he had the family in tow. His
right hand held the left hand Of o
five-year-old, while an infant with o,
cute little white sunbonnet perched
on his left arm, endeavoring to UNI
fasten the few struggling hairs orna-
menting the pater's upper lip. This
wife and two small sons, who looked
about ten and twelve years old, fol.
lowed the advance guard OF the FAM
lily. 1914. ...
Near the center Of the square
stood one Of Councilman Bristow's
beautiful slot machines, with its big.
clock like face beaming patroniziug-
ly on the group, to whom 1t silently,
announced that for one cent Ii
would give correct weight. AS soon
as son No. l adiread the announces
ment he pleaded so earnestly 10
''get weighed" that his two younger
brothers joined in the chorus.
AS soon as the father could get q
word in edgewise he quietly
remarked to the clamoring Juveniles
that it was Thursday and he only
had six cents left.
The trio of youngsters received
this news with crestfallen coante-
nances, but suddenly the same kind
of q countenance on which was pic
tured woe on the sons on the
fathers lit up with the light and
expression of a man who has
''struck good thing"
Quickly, almost pervously, he
handed the infant to his wife and,
diving into his pocket, he produced
nickel aud copper.
Pop" stood on the scale and
dropped in the penny. The hand
Travelled around the dial until It.
stood opposite the mark indicating
one hundred and fifty-two pounds.
Then, before he got off the scale, he.
had his wife step on. The hand
went back to one hundred and
thirty-seven. Then, In succession,
the twelve-year-old son, the ten.
year-old, the fve-year-old and the:
baby were weighed, and, gathering
his family around him, Pop
walked proudly off, with the visible;
feeling of satisfaction at having
beaten a grinding, grasping

Will Leave Tomorrow.

One of the largest crowds that ever
left the city on similar trip, will de,
part for Old Point Comfort tomorrow
morning. The party will be joined
at Guthrie by about 80 from Clarks-
vile and the various stations along
the L. & n. from Guthrie to Louis
vile will nearly all furnish delega-
tons. At Louisville a large party
from Greensboro, one from Hender-
son, and one from Paducah will be
added to the list. There will be be
tween two and three hundred people
to go on the trip and it will require a
train of seven sleepers and two day
coaches to carry them, besides two
baggage cars, and the train will be
run with what is known as a double
header"-with two engines. This
great trip to the sea shore is always
filed with pleasant events and the
party which will be made up of the
best people of the country, will be a
most congenial one in every respect
A majority of those going will spend
about two weeks from home, while a
good many will stay the limit of the
ticket, which is three weeks.

A MUSICAL PRODIGY.
How He Secured a Liberal Musical
Education.

Eight years ago New York city
went wild over little Holman. He
created an excitement the like of
which we did not see until Paderewski
appeared here in 1892. He was such
little fellow that 1t looked almost as
though he could be carried away In
the pocket Of greatcoat. He was
only ten years of age, but he played
the piano marvelously. Gerry tried
to stop his playing in the public,
claiming it was iniuring the boys
health. The father said: ''But what
am to doG I am poor and am
earning this money to complete
little Josef's education"
Commodore Gerry then said:
"Will you take him of the stage for
six years If you receive money
enough to support yourself, his
mother and him, and to give him the
best instruction for that length OF
timer"
The father replied that he would
gladly do so, and Commodore Gerry
within a week raised sum of money
sufficient to yield yearly income o.
five thousand dollars. This he placed
in the hands of trustees, who were
bound to remit to MIR. Hofmann in
quarterly sums for six years. The
lad was taken back to Europe, be-
came the favorite pupil Of Rubin
stein and only few weeks ago
appeared again in public, justifying
by his playing the highest promise
of his boyhood days.

was brought into use. Messrs Tibbs

ONE WOMAN SAW THE JOKE
She Also Embelished II to Her Hus-
bands Discontinue.

A half-dozen young lawyers hap
pened together at the courthouse 81
few days ago, and one of them re-,
marked that he had told his wife a.
very funny story and she never
cracked a smile, so he proposed,
says the Birmingham Age-Herald,
that the others tell it to their wives
and they would meet together and
report the results. The story was
this:
A widow desiring to hold COM
munication with her dead husband,
wishing especially to find out
whether he was happy in the other
world, went to a spiritualist and
asked that the late husband be.
called up. In little while it was
announced that he was at hand.
The weeping widow said: "Howdy,
John2" He said: "Howdy, Suep"
She then, with voice full Of mourn
tulness, asked If he was happy in MS
present state. The spirit yawned
and answered: "Yass, bout as.
happy as l was on earth. Don't see
much change" Then she said:
Where are you at, JohnH He
said: I'm in hell"
When the lawyers met again they.
all reported that their wives couldn't
see anything funny in the story, ex~
cept one, and they called on him for
o report, after the laugh went
around. "W.a-a-l," he said, II
think got the worst of it. I told
her the story in a very significant
way, just like it was she and 1,
sorter sarcastically and funny, too,
and then l was right full of laugh.
and chuckled, and she turned round
and said: If that had been your
spirit, Jim, that said that to me, ]
would have said you were right
where you ought to be-"

A Bear in the Woods.

Several parties living in the vicinity
of Crofton report having seen large
black bear in the woods near that
place last week. A party of fifteen
or twenty, armed with guns, clubs
and bats, have been out on a hunt
for the stray bruin with their dogs,
but failed to come up with him. The
bear, when last seen, had a rope tied
around his neck, and had evidently
escaped from some bagpipers travel
ing through the country.

Smith Claimed for Blackburn

CAD1z, Aug. 5.-The nomination of
Denny P. Smith for representative
Saturday surprised no one here. Nor
was his big majority surprise. All
the candidates took the same position
in their public speeches, and all in
dorsed the resolutions of the meeting
that sent delegates to the LOUSY lie
convention. 1t was we'll known that
Smith personally was for Gov. Jno.
Y. Brown for senator until that gen
tleman withdrew, but all refrained
from committing themselves in their
speeches for q. S. Senator, Smith all
the time saying he would be gov
erned by instructions. Mr.. Quick,
however, knowing that Blackburn's
friends were largely in the majority
in the county, decided on the eve of
the election to declare in a public
speech at Roaring Springs that he
would support Blackburn for Z. S
senator. Mr.. Smith stood by his origi,
nal plan and refused to commit him
self, saying he wished to be elected

popularity Of another, but pointing to
the meeting of the Democracy Of the
county, June 18th, '95, said he would
be governed by the instructions of his
party.
Mr.. Smith has satisfied the Demo
Gratis who met in that meeting that
his Democracy is sound; that meet

resolutions looking to that end"
Mr.. Smith is talented young gen
tleman, and any insinuations sent out
from here to the Louisville press that
Mr.. Quick was defeated because
he was for Blackburn, will have no
effect here, but may mislead where
the facts are not known. We will
elect him. The county will instruct
for Blackburn again if necessary,
and Smith will vote as instructed.

A SHOOTING AT SARASSA.
A Negro Resists an Officer and is Shot for
 His Fooiishness.

Parties arriving from Sarrassa, Lincoln county, today, report that a shooting took place there Monday which will probably result in the death of a negro.
 The story as learned by a GRAPHIC reporter, is as follows:
 On various occasions the store of Mr. Joe Garrett, at Sarassa, has been burglarized and goods stolen. Suspicion pointed to a negro whose name was unknown to our inform ant and he was arrested and q quan- tity of stolen meat found in his pos session. The officer making the ar rest was Jim Muse. When he at tempted to conduct his prisoner to jail he showed fight. Muse sum- moned Messrs. Joe Garrett and Jim Willis to his assistance. The negro continued to resist and the officer drew his gun to intimidate him, but instead of this having quieting effect it only made the prisoner more savage, and he attempted to wrest the weapon from the hands of the officer. Failing in this he drew a knife and began to slash at the off, cers and succeeded in stabbing Will lis through the arm. Mir. Garrett drew pistol but the negro knocked it from his hand and was endeavor ing to get it. Willis reached the weapon, first, however, and as the negro came towards him with the knife he shot him. The ball entered the cheek, ranged down and came out at his neck.

ADJUSTMENTS.
eThe Fatted Calf. :,

A very small audience greeted Eugene Robinson's company in the above named comedy at the Opera house last night. The play is very unique one, abounding in odd situa- tions and funny expressions, the company that presented it is above the average. MT. Heaman Hirshley as Squire Daniel Perley, Q wealthy stock raiser. was simply superb, and the ready wit displayed when caught in embarrassing situations, kept the audience in good humor and merri- ment. Miss Nellie Sheldon as Mrs. McCann, was typical Irish nurse and played her part to perfection. The singing of Misses Lewis, White Leslie were good and they were re- peatedly encored.

THE PRESIDENT AT ATLANTA

 Visitor.

ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 23.-Presi- dent Cleveland with his Cabinet and other members of the Presidential party were driven to the Exposition shortly after 10 clock this morning. An artillery salute of twenty-one guns was fired in honor of the dis tinguished visitors, and the Presi- dent was greeted with three rousing cheers from the multitude as he stepped from his carriage. The party was escorted about the grounds by Gov. Atkinson, Mayor King, President Collier snd several State officials. At II o'clock the Presidential party viewed parade and exhibition drill of the military The principal companies that partic- ipated were the Fourth Regiment of the Virginia National Guards; the Gate City Guards of Atlanta; the Governors Foot Guards of Connect icut. and the Asheyille {N. C) Light infantry.

REPORT oF ROAD COMMITTEE.


 We have carefully examined the re- port of the Road Overseer and have discussed at length the present mode of working the roads, and have ar rived at the conclusion that as done now it is almost a waste of time. We urgently recommend that our Hon. County Judge employ q practical civil engineer to be known as Super visor of County roads; man compe- tent to instruct our road overseers in good road building. Should only a small portion of roads be built an- nually in a first-classs manner, it would not be long until Jefferson county could show a system of roads equal to any in the United States. Good roads would enhance our farm lands and will induce class of peo- pie to settle among us that we ur- gently need. Give the people goud roads and steel and iron bridges will soon span our creeks and bay ous in place of the costly and some times dangerous wooden affairs now in use. In this connection we believe it would be to the best interest of Jefferson county should our county prisoners be employed in building roads.

if within his power, to audit the time worked by the various conyicts, the time lost, and on what account it is lost, so that the GOuntyewill always get the wages due from her prisoners, as they earn it, and that the prisoners will get full credit for the time worked. Under the present arrangements the warden in charge of the county farm report the time worked and lost by each convict, !, and while the correctness of his monthly report is not here ques- tiened, we submit the system is faulty. Under the present contract the County receives F cents per day for each convict for the number of days actually worked until the prisoner works out his fine and costs, he, of course, getting a credit of 30 cents per day ds fixed by law, and we are advised that all monies derived from this source, which are ' we are informed by him, are des- bursed to the officers receiving the costs, usually the amounts for dis bursement being SD small, and hav- ing to be divided between the officers, jurors and witnesses so many different times before the costs of d case can finally be paid out, we are forced to conclude that confusion and disorder and probably injustice to the County and those interested in such costs will be the inevitable results, here we suggest to Judge Jones that if it is in his power, under the law, that he credit the various items of costs in all cases and issue County Warrants therefore at the said time, pay all money received from the services of prisoners to the Sheriff and be required to pay the same into the County Treasury. Both Mir. Oracle and Judge Jones informs us that the hire of the convicts will pay the costs of prosecution. This being true the County will be benefited by the arrangement. It is in the inter- est of the County and those inter- ested that we call the attention of Judge Jones to the matter.
 We desire to express our thanks to your Honor and to Hon. 5. C. Martin, our Prosecuting Attorney, for the kindness shown and efficient services redendered us, thereby greatly facilitating our labors at a nominal cost to the County.
 We further compliment Sheriff Triplett and his efficient dep uties for the prompt service given in hurriedly disposing of all business coming before us, also the Circnlt Clerk. GABE MEYER,

CHEAP BEEF.
The Beef Trust Given n Black Eye ny
 the Agricultural Department.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 2s:-There is reason to believe that the Aineri- can people will not be robbed by the Beef Trust the coming winter as it was in the ea~licr months Of the present year. The order of the Department of Agricultural admit ting Mexican cattle to the United States for the purpose of being fed and fattcned, become effective to- day and from what Secretary Morton says the winter meat supp ply of the county will be increased during the next month or two to an extent that will insure con- siderable reduction in prices. Two million of fat cattle, principally from the northern provinces of Mexico, are expected to pour through the five ports opened today. These will be ready for immediate slaughter. In addition, 00,OO0 heads of "feeders" will be brought in also. The latter are lean cattle that will be fattened before ready for the market. The coming of this grand army af hungry Mexican cattle will also tend to relieve the Western farmer of his heavy corn crop, and it was with this object in view that Secretary Morton issued his fled and fattened' order If, as anticipated by the Department of Agricultural, 100000 half-fed cattle are brought across the border, 1t is~ also evident that the Beef Trust magnates must count on 100000 hogs being brought in also to he fattened in conjunction with the cattle. The hogs are necessary to eat the waste corn that falls to the ground while the cattle are feed ing.
