OHIO d KENTUCKY RAIL
ROAD.
ROAD.

The prospect is very flattering
for the early building of this rail-
road from Jackson, down the riv-
er to Frozen Creek, thence up
Frozen and over on Red river,
thence across to Caney in Nor
gan county. Offices for the COM
pany have been secured in Lex
ington, and an engineering corps
is again at work, and what Capt.
Broas has SO faithfully worked for
seem certain. A country rich in
timber and very fine camel coal
will be developed. The road is to
be s. miles long.
Agents were last week along
the line engaging hay and corn
for their teams, securing telegraph
poles and making contracts for
necessary timber used in its con-
struction.
Our city should either have a
line from here to the L. & E, as
now talked of, or road from Nc
Causey, in Menefee county, via
Hazel Green to Caney. Such
road would be very profitable to
our town. An era Of prosperity
and development has begun. Mt.
Sterling should reap large bene-
fit from such road.

action was taken in regard to party
policy, and the meeting was mainly

meeting will be held at Chicago on

fall of 1899 will be determined.

WATER WORKS.

A proposition will be submitted
to the City Council at their next
meeting in June upon which the
Council will be asked to offer for
sale twenty-year franchise for
water works. The party who
will ask for the sale Of the fran
chise will be ]. M. Pickrell, and
the proposition will be to build a
water plant within the next twelve
months without any contract for
hydrant rent. A price will be
named and the city can use her
pleasure in regard to taking water.
Mr.. Pickrcll will also submit a
a schedule water rate, nothing
compulsory; it will be with the
city as with the citizens.
With their proposition, as we
it, we can see but one
way for the Council to act. If
the plant is constructed it will be
at Mr.. Pickrells expense, his
own money employed, the plant
will be his, and we as city and
can take it or let it
alone.

At close of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
If that mischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be-
come indurated down to a fixture,
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. 1t will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries will 60 to North America.

the fabulous corruption fund raised in
England and Germany, estimated at
81, 500, 900, were the agents that Sc

Notwithstanding the famine price

lous expenditures of money by our
government during the past year, gold
has increased in value eleven per cent.
and all other values decreased in the
same proportion.

Senator William Goebel spoke
on Saturday to large crowd at
Owingsville. Bath county is very
much divided between Stone and
Goebel, and only a count on the
day Of the convention will deter
mine which Of these gentlemen
is Baths favorite. Mr.. Goebel,
as usual, made a strong speech,
clearly defining his position on the
questions now confronting the
people. Enthusiastically he is a
Democrat after the kind that
stand squarely on the platform of
90. He opposes trusts and COM
bines of all kinds and every sem
blance Of one, because he is of
the opinion that their workings
are hurtful to the interests of the
masses. Especially is he against
that gigantic combine, the book
trust, and with the earnestness of
his very being does he favor the
McChord bill and the Election
bill. Everybody knows how Goe,
bel stands and where to put their
finger in order to find him.

know, is an invalid confined to her

yet with a mind and heart to do
something for her Master, this
letter is evidence of results.

lives, and from their efforts much
may have been accomplished,
which has ever been unknown to
them. This story may yet come

AS we see it, this county is for
Hon. w. ]. Stone for Governor
Of Kentucky. They are for him
because he is Democrat true to
every vital principle. They are for
him because he is a W orking Dem
ocrat. The convention over, should
he be defeated, he would not
go about mounting, but would say
the party, in its combined wisdom,
has chosen another, and for that
reason l will take the stump and
labor for him and my party the
same as I would for myself. They
are for him because in peace he
contends for the principles Of his
party, using the powers of his
brain to convince opposing ele-
ments of their error, as in times of
war he shouldered the musket and
fought for what he believed to be
his rights. The people of Mont
gomery are for Capt. Stone be-
cause he is a Democrat on the
money question; because he is
against trusts and combines and
for the people; because he can
carry the solid Democratic forces
and be elected easily and with the
largest Democratic majority.
While we believe we are exact
ly correct in these statements,
that Senator Goebel has strong
following is no joke. Democrats
are for Stone or Goebel, and for
one or the other delegates for
his county will be instructed, and
f Stone is first Goebel will be
second, and vice versa.
