could he induced t. 90 to Lexing-
ton to DO their trauing, in pursu-
ance of a policy We have main
tanned ever since THE HERALD was
started. Through our paper and
the Morning Herald, of Lexington.
We have asked the capitalists of
that -''y t. aid in the enterprise.
Now, We rca,-ga that the cost of
such a road, the pi~rt - operate
it, &c, would be, perhaps, more
than they would care to invest
and, upon the principle that if YOU
can't get What you want get what

poses, wOq Id answer as well. As
the merchh hnts Of Lexington would
get all the trade of this place and
considerable scope of country
contiguous t. it We would rather
have LeXl lngton capitalists back
the enterprise than anybody aside
from our OWN home people. We,
therefore, gentlemen of Lexington,
appeal to you to aid Us in the en-
terprise, and If you, who are iden-
titled with her material interests,
have half the zeal that We do as a
native of the place and a we'll
wlsher, you will certainly aid in
building the road. 1t is only five
miles; no grading, practically, and
our people will give ground for the
stables, grant you right Of way,
and take sufficient stock to secure

will you do? We hope your papers

A Peculiar Case.

S. s. Combs, of Campton, Is sui
fering with Il swollen hand from
some unknown cause. He was last
week stricken with n pain III the
palm of his hand which ran through
to the back, and was accompanied
by swelling. Without Il scratch,
bite, cut or sting the pain came,
and was so severe that he could
neither sleep or eat. y red spot
about the size of Il silver dollar
appeared on his hand, but he can
not remember of straining it, even,
to account for the trouble. Char
coal and something else is kept
upon the wound lest blood poison
set up, but nothing seems to alevi-
ate the pain. His daughter Mrs.
Pieratt, and her husband, of this
place, went over Thursday of last
week, and stayed all night with
Mr.. Combs, and they say he had
no rest during Thursday night.
His many friends hope nothing
serious will result but at the same
time feel much anxiety.

A Hard Luck Story.

Once more We appeal to those of
our subscribers who are in arrears
to come i'll and pay up. We owe
other people and want to pay them
but unless those who owe us pay
We can not pay those We owe. And,
furthermore, We are dependent up
on the income from the paper to
pay the expenses of printing it.
Hence, unless you pay We can not
print it. This is plain enough for
any child to comprehend, and We
do hope everybody who owes us
will pay SO We can pay everybody
We owe. We don't like to feel when
we meet Il man that he is saying
to himself, Cooper owes me IL
cents and it looks like | never can
get it," Now, if you will pay Us
We can pay him the II cents, or
any other sum. If you don't pay
us we'll have to stop printing your
paper-we can save that expense
any how.

SOME twelve years ago, before
tho new constitution, which throws
many safe guards around tho coun-
ties, and is in many ways blow
at internal development, was
adopted, TIE HERALD advocated
the building of good roads through
out the mountain country. Thcu
We could have availed of convict
labor on contract by the counties
and the expense would have been
very small. Now, when it is
4 hard matter to vote AID for Il
road and an impossihility to use
the convicts all the papers in the
state are crying out for better
roads. Had our suggestion oh-
tanned Mt the time this country
would ere this have been cob
wrhhcd with system of roads as
good or better than any IN Ken
tucky. and the pauper counties
would have been returned solvent
some Of the newspapers. ike a
cows tail, ar always behind. We
are still for good roads, but had
the press gang joined with us then
the work would have been done,
much of it, and the people would
today hc enjoying the facilities of
easy road transportation. Since
that time the state has paid to
maintain the mountain pauper
/ counties over Il million dollars,
and they are still in the pauper
list. Good roads would have lift
ed them out before or by this time.
But even now every good citizen
should do all he can To- better ouI
system of roads. Thy certainly
need improving.

THIS MEANS YOU.
Parents and Guardians, Attention

The next session of Hazel Green
Academy will begin on Tuesday,
September Bird, and we would be
pleased to have your patronage
during the session. We can prom
ise you better instrction and facil-
tiles for work. Besides it will be
cheaper IN proportion to send the
entire session, than to send aftor
the holidays.
Two teachers will be added to
the present force at the opening of
the session, and all i'll all, you will
be delighted at what we can give
you. The rates of tuition have
been changed; the following will
be the rate:
In primary department, for ell
tire session, 5000; from Christ
mas till close of session, 800.
In academic department, for
entire session, $15. 90; from Christ
mas till close of session, $12.0O.
Thus by enrolling your children
on September Bird for the session.
you get Ii weeks tuition for $500.
Surely there could bc nothing bot
ter offered, not even by the public
schools. 1t is better for your chill
dren to be in the same school for
the entire session; they are the
gamers thereby. If it be possible
have them enroll with us OH the
opening day.
All parents within four or five
miles of Hazel Green can send
:heir children each day during the
fall, from their homes.
For any particulars, call on the
principal, WM. II. CORD,
