Judge Denny speaks.

Judge George Denny, of Lexington.
was greeted by big crowd of his old
friends at the Court House Friday at
ternoon. He is man who stands
high in the estimation of the Garrard
people, and they always turn out when
he makes o speech either political or
in a law ease. His tribute to this, his
old home county, was quite touching.
His speech was devoted to the Chinn
bill, the election law and McChOrd
railroad bill, upon which points he
dwelt for probably an hour and quar-
ter. He said he had never been hon.
ored by election or appointment since
leaving Garrard and gave as the reason
that when a watermelon was cut
there was always lot of republicans
who beat him to the slices. After de.
vouring the melon they would careful
ly wrap up the seed and say "Here.

About The IL abroad.

Capt. Respess, chief of the corps of
engineers, was here Sunday and tells
THE RECORD he has completed the
line to JellicO. He says he has never
run more satisfactory line, and be-
lieves it impossible to get a better one.
He has now been ordered to run an
other line from harrisburg to Cum
berland Falls, which, the company
thinks will probably open little
better territory, but in this there is
great doubt. In Mr.. ReSpess' line he
has about % per cent less tunnelage
than the L. & NJ, and keeps the grade
at one per cent. the entire distance.
The curvature also comes within his
limit. Mr.. Re;pess has run ten
lines for the Southern and nine of
them are now either in operation Or
course Of construction, so 1t will be
seen that he is a fine surveyor and
understands his business.
The surveyors are stu at work In
Boyle county and have run several
lines. We do not suppose they will
have much trouble getting through
that county, but they will have a
monkey and parrot time getting past
Stanford. A gentleman who knows
what he is talking about "a resident
of LincOln) told us that back of STAN
ford runs for several miles a cOntin-
uOus hill several hundred feet high.
To get past, tunnel as long as Kings
MOuntaing tunnel will have to be
made. This is the only way the other
route can be built, unless they parallel
the L. & N, from Stanford out to
Brodhead and then take w Mr.. Res
pess' present line.
The Danvllle people are hopping
about like hen on a hot griddle, stuff
fling the surveyors with wine, taffy and
hot air, but as THE RECORD has said
all along, Garrard will get this road,
if it is left to the best route, the
best territory and the shortest line.

eral prosperity, with prospect for
water-wOrks and another railroad,
have caused number to seek homes

the city, and even building lots will
soon be in demand. Until it is settled
that the new railroad will be built, l
offer the following property at the
very low prices:

rooms, with two cisterns and all nee

Here's what the Danville Advocate

Here's what the Danville Advocate
has to say about the railroad:
Captain Maple and his corps of sur
veyors are still running lines in Boyle
county for the proposed Southern rail-
way extension. Tney will complete
their preliminary work tomorrow and
move their camp toward Stanford,
halting sOmwhere about midway be-
tween the two towns. The surveyors
have taken several lines around town
into consideration, and nothing def
mite could be stated. even were it GER
tain that the road would run through
this county. 1t looks, however, as if
the road is to be built, and Danville
and Boyle county will stand a splen,
did chance of winning if they will
make the proper bid. If the road is
built and we lose 1T, the town and
county will be set back many years in
the march of progress. The road will
be worth all it would cost, and 1t Is
understood that the price would not
be burdenSOm.
