The Y. M. G. A. will meet in Odd
Fellows Hall promptly at 7 O'Clock,
this, Thursday, evening. 1t is very
important that all interested be pres
emit; as the roll of membership will be
made up and several other matters of
vast importance taken up and settled.
The plan has met with great encOur-
agement and it is an assured fact that
the building will be erected. All hav-
ing the matter at heart should be on
hand tonight and say what they think
about different matters connected
with the association. The meeting,
and not the street corner, is the place
to do your talking. In next issue we
will publish list of those enrolled to-
might. We want to say again, that
young men from out in the county are
especially invited to come in and share
the benefits to be derived from this
organization. The library, the gym
nasium, the bath rooms and reading
rooms are cOnveniences seldom to be
found in country town, and, after

ings, all will praise the Y. NJ. G. A.

A Western Cyclone.

The following is Dakota papers
account of cyclone: "a southeast
ern wind hurled tumbled weeds and
Russian thist'es through the air at a
twenty-nine mile gait and the gait
went too Many stoves were drawn
out of the chimneys, the strong wind
blew in at the neck of a bottle and
blew the bottom out. Nebraska wag-
on tracks passed over the town by the
thousands. The strain on the wire
fences was SO great that staples were
drawn out of the north side of the
posts. A kerosene barrel standing in
front of grocery store was sucked
out of the buns hole and turned in
side out like lady's slipper. The
dirt blew from post hole in the hill
side and left the hole sticking out of
the ground about two feet with the
dirt around it,"

Additional section men will be put
to work on this branch of the l.. & N.
as soon as the weather opens up. There
is strong probability that the COM
pany will put day passenger trains
here in the spring, and 1t will be done
If the proper effort is made in that di-
rectiOn. The trains now running to
Livingston could be easily made to
connect at Rowland with both trains
on the Knoxville division. The trains
over there now meet at Junction City,
and by having No. q leave Louisville
thirty minutes earlier they could meet
at Rowland. Then have the day trains
now running to Livingston get to
Rowland and leave at the same time
and you will have close and perfect
connection with both Cincinnati and
Louisville from all over Central Ken
lucky. This arrangement has many
other advantages which we will not
set forth here, but il the matter Is ex-
planned to the proper officials, it will
undoubtedly be done.

Public Administrator Resigns

L. F. Hubble has resigned the Office
of public administrator and guardian
for Garrard county. When Mr.. Hub
BILE was appointed to this office, some
eight years ago, the office was not
very lucrative, but by his faithful at
tentiOn to business he has made it pay
from $500, to $500 per year. Mr.. Hub
BILE has made settlements of the estates
in. his hands and his accounts balanced
to cent. We understand Lewis l..
Walker has been appointed to said
Office since Mr.. Hubble resigned.
Every county in the state ought to
have capable and efficient public adj
ministratOr and guardian with an
Office at the county seat, and make
that his business, then so many estates
of infants would not be squandered by
incompetent persons attempting to
act as guardian.

Boyle County Bonds Sold

FOrty-Six thousand dollars worth of
Boyle county turnpike bonds, i'm de-
nomination of $1,000 each, were sold
at auction in Danville Saturday, to
SasOngOod & Mayer, Of Cincinnati, at
a total premium of 1,246. This is We
ry close to per cent. premium, and
as the bonds are to run for only an av-
erage of eight years the sale was con-
sidered a splendid one. Rudolph,
KleybOlte g. Co., of Cincinnati, were
the highest bidders by total of 81,
but as their agent had failed to pre-
pare himself for posting the $1,000
forfeiture demanded the other firm
got the securities, although the high
est bidders were perfectly able to pro-
cure the forfeiture i'm short time.

Good for Garrard.

Judge Burnside, on Monday morn
ing received from W. III. Harris, of
Chicago, a draft on New York for So,
49,. This is in payment for the turn
pike bonds recently purchased by Mr..
Harris. AS soon as collected, the
money will be distributed throughout
the county to parties from whom the
various roads were purchased. Ac-
cOmpanying the draft was highly
complimentary letter from Mr.. Harris
who said, among other nice things,
that the papers sent him were the
most complete and accurate set that
had ever passed through his hands.
This is very gratifying, in view of the
trouble our neighbOring counties are
experiencing with their bonds.

Backed Out

The Stanford Journal says Briggs,
Smith & Co., the Cincinnati brokers
who bought the Lincoln county bonds
through J. H. SOwder, have for fri
volous reasons declined to take them.
They want to wait for certain decis-
ions and claim that as the fiscal court
refused to pay interest on the bonds
given turnpikes, that it may do so with
them. 1t did not refuse to pay such
interest except where the turnpike
bondhOlders refused to return the
bonds, which had been issued under a
misconception Of the law. The bonds
will be sold again Feb. Is.
