AN AWAKENING AT HAND.

II certainly speaks well for the coun-
ty when the progress manifested in
the demand for more and larger
schools and for better roads is tax en-
into consideration. McCracken coun-
ty is one Of the best in the state, and
with the proper effort could be made
one of the most progressive, produ ct
i've and up-to-date. By up-to-dste is
meant one with good roads, good
schools and modern public institutions,
and the class Of men who realize the
necessity and importance of such. A
little enterprise ON part Of the proper
officials will do much towards devel.
opiug the latent spirit Of progress that
exists In the minds Of residents of the
county, and bring about great good.
There is seldom any reduction in the
amount Of taxes levied in McCracken,
and if the people would stop to think
more about what becomes OF this
money they would soon more fully re-
slize the justice Of getting their
moneys worth and the fact that they
are not doing it. -s
The good roads move is one that il
successfully carried out will save
much money, in addition to affording
the people better roads, facilitating
travel and traffic, and benefiting the
people of the city and county alike in
many ways. The Sun, like every
other paper that considers the welfare
of the people above everything else q,
believes in urging the officials to take
up such work and educate the people
up to it, where they are not already
so, and believes in giving credit to
those officials who accomplish good
along the lines Indicated, no matter
what their politics.
McCracken county is now prepar-
ing, from all indications, to enter a
new era, and one of progress. With
new and better schools and good roads
the demand for more will increase as
the benefits become more and more
evident, and soon the Wanted blue
grass counties will be far surpassed by
McCracken, the best and most import
ant county in the Purchase.

1.-THE Fool Of School," a comedy

Theatrical Notes.

The scenery and costumes in THE
Sword Of the King" the comedy
which will be presented at The Ken
lucky next Friday night, by Miss
Henrietta Crosman and her company
are worthy Of special consideration.
Nothing handsomer, richer, more cost
ly or effective was ever presented ON
the stage. All Of these accessories are
new. having been made for Miss Cros-
mans recent engagement at the Grand
Opera house, Chicsgo. The prepare
ton Of this production is one OF the
marvels Of dramatic achievement.
More than three hundred persons were
employed continuously night and day
in completing the stage mountings.
The result was q setting for the come
dy far more handsome and elaborate
than that which has been used in New
York and the cast. Ronald MacDon.
AIDS play, THE Sword Of the King"
offers liberal opportunity for ricn seen
10 effects and costumes. There are
ise scenes. showing handsome exteri-
ors and interiors Of stately old English
homes. while the dress Of that period
calls for q gorgeous display Of velvet
and silk and lace for both sexes. The
play itself Is intensely interesting,
without dull moment from curtain
TO curtain. The action is rapid, the
scenes are stirring, the climaxes ORA
matte and effective. The chief ele-
ment Is comedy which is made the
more telling by contrast with power
full and emotional situations. II has
been said of Miss Crosman that in
1.-THE Sword Of the King'she does her
best work She reveals herself both
IS the Coincidence and the emotional
actress. The characters In the play
are uncommonly well drawn and all
are excellently portrayed by one Of the
best companies that ever appeared to
this country.
In one act Miss Crosman puts on
boys attire and fights duel with the
man she loves. He has mistaken her
for lad in her masquerade, and she
has aroused his jealousy by pretending
that she is the .favorite Of the girl he
cares for. This is one Of tho cleverest
comedy acts ever written, and has Gre
ated as much enthusiasm in New
York, Boston, Philsdelphis, Chicago
and other cities as anything ever
played on the stage. This exhibition
Of her comedy gifts by Miss Crosman
is followed by striking displays Of
emotional powers which reveal the
marvellous versatility of the artistic.
1.-THE Sword OF the King is an I'M
commonly clever play and as present
ed by Miss Crosman and her gifted
company, is one Of the most interest
ing entertainments Of the present dra-
matte season.
