In 1868 the suggestion was made that the city might to it's own great advantage in a commercial way, undertake the building of rail- road which would give it trade control

Paducah doctors have been very
much interested in the proposed law
to require of every person before mar.

cate Of good health, ever since an able
paper read several weeks ago by DIR.
Lillard Sanders before the Paducah
Medical and Surgical society. 1t was
so much liked that he will by request
read it at the state meeting of the
Medical Association here in May. and
an effort will be made to induce the
state association to indorse its recon-
mendations, as the local society did.
The physicians say that they more
than any one else are able to realize to
their fSliest extent the evils of allow
ing unhealthy people to marry, and are
heartily in favor Of law TO prevent
it, such as the one in force in Ger
many, which has helped make such
sturdy, healthy race.
The doctors do not think that any
thing but a strict law, vigorously
enforced, will remedy the growing
evil that threatens future generations,
and will from now on work hard to
have the next legislature enact such a
law in Kentucky. 1t is believed that
the local medical society will cncoun-

Outlook for the Roads Being

NOTHING DEFINITE DONE YET

There is a prospect that Mayfield
will get another railroad, branch Of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis. The Mayfield Mirror says
There is correspondence going on
now between local capitalists and the
officials of the N, @. and st. L. rail-
road, toward building line from
Msyfield to the nearest branch of this
road.
Let the road be built by all means.
Think of the advantage it would be
to Mayfeld as a manufacturing center.
With the greatest county in the union,
the hest town in the state, and the
entire jackson Purchase to draw from,
we could attract manufactures from a
distance right away. besides the good
it would be to the town right now
reducing freight rates on tobacco and
goods manufactured here in our fac
tories.
IAN almost level track could be
built from here to the nesres. point
Of this road, with hardly any bridg.

very small, considering the cost Of
building other roads.

proper consideration. He is a man
possessed at above the ordinary
ability found in the Office of County

can be brought against Mr.. Crandall
is, he is a terror to criminals yet
he does not infringe on their rights

So far in the political question no
reason has been given why Grass
is superior man to Shell, if he is,
he has not demonstrated it nor his
friends have not said so. Sentaor
Shell has performed all the duties
devolved upon him while he was in
either branch of the legislature; he
secured the passage of all of the bills
that seemed necessary and that is
all that was required of him. By
his experience he is in position to
fulfill every duty he may be called
upon to discharge. So far there has
been no reason given that appeals to
the people of Mobiles county that
they should surrender their right
to be represented in the legislature
by senator; further, there has no
reason been given why that senator
should not be Mr.. Shell, as he is a
man Of experience, conservative,
considerate and weighs every
question with due deliberation, al
ways ready to counsel and give
advice to any one, no matter who
or what their station in life may be
and is in touch with all of the

contains no opportunity, so why
replace him with one who in no way
is his superior. Don t do it.
