The Old Fiddlers Contest IS Stir.
ring up the Natives.
Liveliest Time on Record is Down
On the Program For Friday
Night.

The Old Fiddlers Contest Friday
night is attracting attention in sur
rounding towns. The Princeton
Banner has this, a'usion to
"Judge" Jack Wylies fitness for
his positions:
"John h. Wylie, the aifable and
efficient Cashier of The Farmers
National Bank, OF this city, has
been notified that he is chosen as
one of the judges in the Old Fid-
dlers Contest which is to come off
in two weeks at Hopkinsville. Jack
would fit any old sort of judgeship
to a nicely, and is known from
Lexington to Mills Point as an all
around good fellow, but we sadly
misjudge if he would know the diff
ference between the music of a fid-
die and a pipe organ.
Jap Sisk, the fiddling wonder
from the headwaters of Pond River,
has laid in fresh supply of resin
and is headed this way. The man
who beats him will have to cut some
lively capers on the catgut.
Judge Brown and his running
mate, Bro. Randle, are rehearsing
every twenty minutes and trying
to overcome any disposition towards
stage fright that may hamper their
work on the strings.
A request was received from a
man at Frankfort last week to be
entered in the heavyweight contest,
but he was told that it was now too
late as Julian Hord had the prize
in that class already cinched.
General Manager Wilgus is so
enthused with the outlook that he
is thinking of taking the road and
playing some of the large cities
with the aggregation.

Blood

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
freshed, bone muscle and brain
in body and mind, with con,
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits
