OBJECT
LESSON
On Good Road Building, at Lex
inglOn, Next Saturday,
Will be Taken in by Chas. Boiler al
City's Expense.

Monday nights session of the city
council was made interesting by reason
of the fact that the city dads did some
thing toward the cause of good roads in
this section.
After the regular business bad been
disposed of Ed Goodnight appeared be-
fore the body and stated that Agricultu-
raj Commissioner Lucas Moore had
made a call for a good roads convention
to meet at Lexington, June 10th.
At this convention practical tests Of
road making will be given by govern
ment experts who will demonstrate to
those who attend the convention how
all the problems of drainage that are
presented on country roads will be over
come.
Mr.. Goodnight suggested that as Chas.
Boiler bad been appointed road super
visor for this district, and as TIE city
would be the largest beneficiary of his
work, it would be to the interest of the
municipality to send Mr.. Boiler to L K
ington as a delegate and paw his ex-
penses while on the trip.
The good ideas he could derive at this
school of demonstration would be of
value to the city il practically applied.
John D. BAbbaae then addressed the
council and spoke on the same lines.
w. H. Bowmer, one of the largest tax
payers in the district pointed out the
fact that the absence of drainage was re-
sponsible for the bad condition of our
county roads, and thought that the APP
pointment OF Mr.. Boiler as delegate to
the convention would be wise idea.
Mayor Barry approved the step and
thought it would be Of advantage to the
city.
Mr.. Skllman made a motion to the
effect that the mayor be empowered to
appoint Mr.. Boiler as delegate to the
convention and that an appropriation be
made to cover his expenses to Licking
ton and back.
Mr.. Oelze seconded the motion.
Skillman, Oelze and Conrad voted aye
on the motion, while Haynes and
Lillard voted nay.
On petition of r. l.. Newsom, Center
street was opened up for traffic.
The regular monthly bills were allowed
and $500 was appropriated to meet the
June interest on bonds.

My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken.

friend advised trying Electric Bitters ;
and to my great joy and surprise, the
first bottle made decided improvement.

WEALTH
OF STONE.
Several Quarries to Be Extern
sively Developed.
Victory Sandstone Is the Best In the
World.

The quarry interests in this section
are growing so rapidly that sandstone
and limestone may prove to be Klon-
dikes Cf wealth for Cloverport.
The largest quarry now in operation
in this vicinity is the Cornwell quarry
below this city.
About fifty hands are now employed
on the works.
Last week several new steam drills
and holsters were installed and now the
quarry is magnifcenily equipped in
sveTy way. A number of car loads of
stone are shipped away every day.
Mr.. Cornwell is cleaning out the rock
in the quarry so that he can install chan
nellers in the next big contract.
The Spottsville. Iron Grave, Company's
limestone quarry just above the city,
will be in operation in a few days.
Steam drills will be installed and an i'm
mense stone crusher has been purchased
and is now at the quarry preparatory to
beginning work on contract to furnish
the city OF Henderson with 100 cars of
crushed limestone.
A chemical analysis has been made OF
the sandstone deposits now being devel-
Oped at Victoria by the Breckenridge
Camel Coal company. Expert geolo-
gists say it is the best sand stone in the
world and all architects who have yet
seen samples Of the stone are loud in
their praises of It, The strata is 40 feet
in thickness and its proximity to the
railroad and the fact that it is compare
lively near the surface will make it easy
to work.

HOT TIME
PROMISED.
Albert Thompson Makes Some
Salty Charges.
Claims Honey Was Used to Secure
His Defeat.

Albert Thompson, who was defeated
in the primary election for representa-
tive from Meade county, has addressed
the following hot letter to the voters Of
that county:
Custom, Ky. MAY 81, 1899
To THE DEMoCRAcY OLE MEADE COUNTY
i as defeated candidate in the late
Primary, wish TO disclaim any intention
OF personal interest in the matter which
l herein propose to discuss.
l accept my defeat and have no desire
to contest in my own behalf, but in the
interest solely Of the Democratic party
OF my county and State. You will all
recollect, that l charged my opponent
with being the candidate brought out by
certain parties in the interest of Corpor-
atoms and at the commencement of the
campaign, could not for certain call the
names CT the parties to the transaction,
but during the progress OF the canvass,
l learned more and more until near the
windup, came in possession of facts,
that il true, should place the seal of
condemnation upon any man, who
would resort to such methods to secure a
Democratic nomination IN Meade Coun-
ty, and if l mistake not, the temper Of
the Meade County Democracy, will not
sanction such methods. l charge, that
at least $500, and possibly, rs much as
$500 was sent to this county, by Railroad
Corporations to defeat me, and that
friends Of my opponent, discussed the
same at various voting precincts in
Meade County, on the day of the Pri-
mary, for the purpose Of debauching the
voters and thereby, defeated me for the
nomination. All this l propose to es-
tablish beyond a reasonable doubt and
more besides. Now, what l desire, Is
that the Democratic Committee OF Meade
County be called together with the day
fixed to investigate these charges, and il
proven to be correct, for them to take
such action, as may seem to them best.
Now as l said in the outset, l do not
wish it understood, that l make this
fight for any personal interest, was de-
feated by the vlest methods, that lies
and money could contrive, and do not
desire the nomination, nor would now
receive it under any consideration, but !
have an interest in the Democratic party
OF my County, State and Nation, and
when see unworthy men and measures
sought to be fastened upon the party by
money sharks, and their tools in this
county, l feel, as Democrat and citizen,
that halt should be called. Democrats
and esp' cially the democratic committee
OF Meade county, alleged these charges
for your serious confederation, and if
you deem it best to investigate the mat
ter, 1 hold myself in readiness to make
good the charges, that have herein
made.
If cannot, then the party wishes to
know it, 80 that the nominee may have
the united support of the party, and if
they are true, then hold the nomina-
ton was obtained by fraud and in viola
ton of law and should be set aside.
Yours

of the serious illness of the leading actor,
Mr.. Don G. Hall, the play, Rudolph,
