terian church in this city.
Miss Annie Robinson Is in Cincin-
natl visiting relatives. Mr.. L. NJ. Mid

About o'clock Sunday night Eras-
mus Dunn's new barn on the Danville
road, about two miles from town, was
burned. including all his farming inn

IL is generally believed here that
the majority OF notices posted and anon
ymous letters sent out in this vicinity
were not sent by raiders, but by other
parties, as a matter Of humor TO create
IA sensation or to annoy the recipient.
This statement is due the people. The
odium OF the actual raids is enough to
bear.
II Is suggested that we rush the bull
ding OF our Opera House or get Mr..
Walton TO move his over here. When
an old, blind, colored pianist gets
house worth Sl44 here and the popu-

allowing the claim to supplement Com
monwealth's Attorney owsley's salary,
as had been done heretofore, has caus-
ed much comment and is regarded by
some as thrust at Mr.. Owsley, be-
cause his able and thorough method of
prosecuting does not meet with the APP
probation OF all those who were instru-
mental in the rejection OF the claim. 1t
Is also claimed that as the election is at
hand it is an electioneering scheme TO
reduce the salary and induce Mr.. o. To
leave the track. II the appropriation
was right before, it is now. The court
has erred in one instance or the other,
and IL was in the action of last week
Instead of inducing him to surrender
the track IL will cause him TO work
harder and it will cause many to sup.
port him who would not have done so,
because they do not believe in that
kind of Gealing. The loss OF 1925 is
nothing compared to the strength that
will be gained byi it.
Blind Boone, the historic musical
prodigy, appeared before large and
highly delighted audience on Friday
evening. The receipts were sli4, from

though totally blind, he carries the
key which unlocks the highest and pur.

people are known to be music-loving
and this was happy occasion with
them. Such pieces as the plantation
song" "When l Meet Dat Coon To
night" "Old Kentucky Home" and

THAT they could hear the roar of wind
and even see the lurid lightning. A
lady, living about 300 yards from the
courthouse, heard 1t and thought that
a storm was approaching. Boone Is an
