n. 4 caused by the blow OF the me-
GRO, but that in falling after being
S ruck by the negro, his hend
struck the stone curbing and the
Skull was fractured, causing death,
Other theories are advanced, and
many believe that the unfortunate
man was struck with an axe or n
spade. The negro is now in Gus

GAINESVILLE.
Our Growing Nsighbor is Jubilant
Over Its Bright Prospects.
GAINESVILLE, KY, |
March %, 1901. {


DEAR EDITOR: We desire thro-
ugh tho medium of your excellent
paper to speak about prospective
enterprises, which we hope will
soon be ours in reality.
Railroad talk is in the air. The
people are breathing the air, and
hence the talk. But from the way
things are looking up it will not
be all air and talk. The mineral
man Barnes came down Saturday
and talked about mines, minerals,
and railroad. The people heard
him gladly. A commercial club
was organized that night with all
the business men here as members
w. A. Boyd is President and @. P.
Threlkeld Secretary. This meet
ing was followed by a mass meet
ing Tuesday night. Farmers we're
present who live six, eight and ten
miles out. 1t was an all talk NEE
ting and all talked. The thermo-
meter registered 100 talk in favor
OF the road. But how much are
you in favor of itY That was the
test. But with Kentucky public
spiritedness the farmers donated
the right of way through their
farms. The town people respond
ed literally. In all about one thou
sand dollars was subscribed; more
will soon follow.
But we might ask, what materi
al benefit will this road bring. tc
Carrsville and the territory thro.
ugh which it may meandsr? Much
in every way. 1t would be bene
ficial for speedy shipments in anc
out, other than treacherous aqua
tic one. The Ohio river during
two periods Of the year is OF little
service. In summer the water il
too low to permit the passage o.
any sized steamer, many times
none at all, and in winter it is gor
ged with ice. Again, the building
of the road would furnish employ
ment to many deserving ones who
battle with great difficulties fol
existence. Again, it would stimu
late the people to develop to the
greatest extent our mineral wealth
The prospective mines now lying
dormant would yield their contents
to Jealous workmen. Already goot
prospects are located on the Youn
ger, Stone, johnson, Watson anc
Bradshaw farms. But with little
outside inducement and these
pockets" will yield paying dirt
to labor's ceaseless warfare. A
railroad is one great inducemen
to start these embryo mines to full
blast. Let us look to our own ma
terial interests.

THE new RAILROAD.
Some Sound, Pertinent Sugges.
tions as to Its Terminus.

EDITOR PRESS: see by an arti-
Gle in your last weeks paper that
the Salem and Livingston county
people are getting interested in So
curing a railroad for that town. l
am glad to hear this and hope they
will succeed in their undertaking,
and before the close of the year
1901 have trains running into Sa-
lem. But are they not making II
mistake as to the place they want
to tap the Illinois Central railroad
at? / think they are. Marion
would be much better point than
Mexico. A much easier grade can
be got from Salem to Marion than
from Salem to Mexico, or any 9TH
or point on the Illinois Central X
r. The head waters of Claylick
creek are in or very near the town
of Marion. The grade from Ma
rion to Claylick valley and down
the creek is easy and light and ina
terial along the Icreek and route
abundant and suitable to construct
the road bed. l also think the
right of way OH this line could be
obtained for less than on any 9th.
or line, rs the road would necessa.
riIy follow the meanders OF the
stream until it left the valley tc
90 out into Salem. l am OF the
opinion that good outlet with al
easy grade can be found from Sa
lem to the Claylick valley.
If the promoters of the Salem
enterprise will investigate thu
Claylick route to Marion / thinl
they will find it much the best; i
will also pass through better far
ming and mineral country ant
more mines now being operated II
Livingston and Crittenden conn
ties will, I think be in closer toucl
with this route than any other. l
the Salem and Livingston promo
ters will get the survey or profile
of the survey made by the Ohi'
Valley railroad from Marion vii
Dycusbnrg to Kuttawa, when tina
road was being located, they viii
find that the Claylick route hal
many advantages over any other
When that survey was made the!
| got down to the water level with
out any difficulty from Marion
their starting point. Iihave mt
doubt but this survey referred to
with profles of same, and all in
formation desired can be had b.
applying to the Illinois Central l
r officials. Mr.. G. @. Genung, tn

Reward Offered for Rouk.

Flanigan's sheep ranches in Washoe

He was in Winnemucca several days on

1t is understood that the Rouk case
was brought before the grand jury.
but no action was taken on account OF
the lack of evidence. At present it is

theft was committed in this county or

THE. CARNIVAL.
The Subscription Committee
Meets With Success.

Yesterday the Subscription Committee
of the proposed Carnival started on its
tour, with the result that the Carnival is
CO. The committee visited the business
men along the main street, and before
night had signatures for the sum of fif
teen hundred dollars with several places
to hear from. From the way the list has
started, it is likely that the sum will come
pretty close to $1,000.
The question of cash has kept the exec
utive committee from rushing work on a
big scale, but now that the money is in
sight the big entertainment project will
now go along with a hurrah.
Carson has taken the carnival fever
this time and will give the people of this
State the greatest time they ever enjoyed
In few days program will be arranged
by the committee, which will keep
everybody interested in the success OF
the undertaking, hustling. Everyone
must get in line and make this the

The Proper Spirit.

The Reno Ledger, in speaking OF the
Carnival, has the following good things
to say, and also offers both Reno and
Carson some sound advice:
We suggest that Remedies 'stand in'
and help Carson give a rousing carni-
val celebration on July 4th. We be-
lieve that the jealous feeling the two
communities have harbOred for each
other for years should be allowed to
drift into oblivion. We are all Neva-
dams and we should help one another
as much as possible. 1t is the true way
to build up our State. This Internal
back biting between communities re-
suits in no good. It is injurious. There
should be harmony of action between
Reno and Carson on all things. Car
son has been unfortunate in ways the
past few years, while Reno has been
rapidly progressing. We can all go to
Carson on July 4th and tell the people
pleasure. Yes, with them as friend:
and neighbors, not foes. We can tel
them that there will soon be a State
Fair held at Reno and that one day 0
the fair will be set down for Carson an(
that on that day there will be SOM
great attractions. After we tell then
this we can extend them warm
friendly invitation to visit US and W
will give them day OF pleasure long t
be remember Believing this to b
the proper spirit, we now announc
that the Ledger will give what aid
can to the Carson committee in the wa
of free ad vertising space, and invite
the committee to communicate wit
this office. Hurrah for the Carso
