A Delegation Waited Upon Him
Saturday With Complete
Success.

A delegation of business men went
to Nashville Saturday and waited

lnitely settled with him the ques-
tion of coming to Hopkinsville. In

and Judge Breathitt, acting for the
committee, delivered to Col. Baxter
the subscription of $10,027, the a.
mount asked by his road ofthe peo-
pie of Hopkinsville. He also pre-
sented an agreement asking that a
physical connection be made with

itat;ngly and accepted the subscrip-
tion papers. He said he expected

pected to begin at the Hopkinsville

DEADLY FRACAS.
COIOred Festival Near Pembroke
Ends With Rough House.
Two Negroes rlOrtally Wounded
and a Third Shot in the
Mouth.

One of those deadly devices for
thinning out the colored population,
known as ''festibul," was held at
Frank Massie's house on the r. f.
Chiffon farm, near Pembroke,
Saturday night and the festivities
resulted in the wounding of three
negro men, at lest two of whom will
die. A row come up in which the
Ware brothers, four young negroes,
sons of Harvey Ware, became dis
orderly and Frank Massie, the
owner of the house, was asked to
restore order. The Wares resent
ed his efforts as peacemaker and a
general fight followed, in which
many shots we're fred. Massie
had no pistol, but he was one of the
first to fall, with bullet hole in
his chest, just below the neck. The
ball went through his body and
lodged in the right shoulder.
A young negro Ramed Tandy, a
son of Tom Tandy, was shot four
times. He was hit in the thigh,
arm, hand and finally in the bow
els. The last shot is necessarily
fatal, though Tandy was alive yes
terday morning. Another negro
named Williams was shot in the
mouth, the ball coming out behind
the ear. He will recover. 1t is not
known who did the shooting, though
it is credited to the Ware boys.
No arrests have been made.

The Famous Lakeside

Even if you were willing to spend a
fabulous amount for piano you could
not buy better one than the Lake
side. 1t is the very best piano the
richest man in the world can buy, and
it IS the most inexpensive piano for ev-
eryone. The first cost may not be as
small as for some other pianos, but
consider the many more years of ser
vice there is in a Lakeside. The few
{ repairs it will require because of its
perfect construction, and its sweet
ness of tone far superior to any other
instrument made. BY all means put a
Lakeside in your home if you want a
strictly high grade piano.
