Carrard'S representative, John M.
Farra, joined the committee at Louis
vile, Friday, and the entire party
went to New York, Saturday, where
an engagement was had with the
Southern Railway people to meet
Tuesday. The committee was armed
with maps, surveys, statistics and
talk enough TO build a road around the
world, and if they don't get the mat
ter before President Spencer in a ia
yOrable way, it will be a surprise.
Each representative from other couE-
ties carried an absolute guarantee of
the right of way, and our man can
safely say that our people will do what
is right by the road. While, of course.
there is possibility of failure, yet we
believe we have every reason for be-
think it will be built. 1t is now a
settled fact that the Southern has
bought the Air Line, running from
Louisville to st. Louis. Owning the
Louisville Southern to Burgin, isn't a
natural inference that the company
will want to connect, by building the
% mile link on to Middlesborc where
their southern lines terminate? At,
any rate, it's worth the while and
money to make fight for, and it is
gratifying to see how the business
men have taken hold of the matter,

KIND WORDS.

The Lancaster RECORD was ten
years old last Saturday. 1t is a nice,
bouncing boy, and is able to hold its
own i'm large crowd. We watch for
its appearance at our office as it al
ways teens with news and it's tone is
always charlottesville Demo-
crat.
Last Thursday the Lancaster REC
ORD passed its tenth mile-pOst. 1t
was founded by christian gentleman
of the highest type, the lamented Jas.
r. Mars, who gave it up to it's pres
ent proprietor, Louis Landram, a wor-
thy successor, and one who has never
lowered it's cOlOrs to the enemy of
public veal. May THE RECORD con-
tinue to be a credit, alike to its found
er, its present proprietor, and to the
good county of Garrard.-Richmond
Climax.
The Lancaster RECORD was 10 years
old last week and is one of the best ex
changes that comes to this office. LOU
is Landram has done as much for
the building up Of Lancaster as any
citizen in it, and the people are show
ing their appreciation of it by subscri-
bling for the MISUNDERSTANDING
Journal.

aid. He was for years an organizer of
Sabbath schools and is now a success
full evangelist. He perhaps knows
more men and has more friends than
any other man in this section, and
few men have done more good in more
ways to more people than ''Uncle Joe. =
His preaching and praying and sing
ing have attractions all their own and
can not fail to help those who hear
him.

Disgusting.

The shooting of pistols on the
streets at night has become to be a
nuisance of the largest proportions.
Hardly night passes without ten to
a hundred shots being fired within
the town limits, and most frequently
on the Public Square. To those living
near the Square, this thing has become
exceedingly monotinOus. If only one
officer is to be employed, he should by
all means be put on night duty. 1t is
pretty hard to have to pay taxes for
Police protection" and then be kept
awake nearly every night by drunken
rOwdies who not only kick up the dew
il generally, but endanger life and
property. When. some good citizen is
killed by stray bullet, probably steps
will then be taken to put stop to
this high-handed outrage,
