CLAMORING.
For A Deputy County Collector To Save
A Raise In Assessments.

Dr. Grow, County Collertor,
was in the city Monday and as
far as we could learn was as
mum as mice abont the condi-
tion of collections and the con-
ditiou non collections would
put our schools in.
Monroe City will have to ia ce
a condition, not theory. She
will have to insist on a collec-
tor or his deputy doing his or
their duty or raise the tax in
tins city from 75 to 85 cent on
800 to foot bills or rather
shortage caused by negli-
gence.
1t is now up 10 the people Of
Monroe who in self defen Sc
will be compelled to put it
next the collector aud as
general thing, when it comes to
a sque ze, the people ca be re-
lied on.
We are reliably informed tina t
! things are in the same shape at
Florida and Indian Creek that
they are in, in Monroe. Money
there six weeks ago, no one
to receive and receipt for same
and the people kicking about
it.
/ The postmaster at Paris, we
are told has TO go to the Doctor
and tell him to come and col
Iect money on the large num-
( bers of money orders that are
sent there TO pay taxes with.
1t is the first time ia the his
tory Of the world when money
goes begging to be received for
taxes, just because \ PJ6y
System cannot wake up long
enough to rake the sheEe.s iu.
Again We say to Won people
of Monroe, Indian Creek and
jefferson townships, will YOU
submit to having schools clos

The Kentucky Oil Fields.

Few of us realize the position
Kentucky has taken of late as an
oil center. To-day the Bluegrass
is hustling with oil men. Crews
of oil drillers, promoters and agents
are on the ground and much is ex-
pecied of the field The first
pumps have been started bv the Es-
till Company, and amber oil is
flowing into the tanks from sew
eral wells at the rate of several
barrels an hour. The wells are
expected to maintain an average
of five to eight barrels a day, and
there is every evidence of such a
prospect.
But little drilling has been done
in this county. A pool has been
struck surrounding the village of
Irvine and within the area "a con-
siderable production is expected.
fhe Standard Oil people are already
on the ground under the name of
New Domain. The Standard has
already secured most of the availa-
BILE leaseholds, but the Michigan
Company has handsome slice.
The Appachian Oil Company, of
Lexington, and the Flat Rock Oil
Co. are also drilling in sight. Eight
drills are at work, two operated by
the Great Northern.
The Estill Company is operating
directly east of the Kentucky river,
The Detroit Compahy's drills are
at work adjoining, to the east,
while on the west the Standard s
drills are working. A well is also
being driven on the west of the
village ~ be- ssill Springs sum
mer hotel is being opened early to
accommodate the rush of oil men.

Something Of a Prophet.

The lexington Democrat is
proving to be something of a
prophet. He first said Judge
Breckenridge would withdraw,
from the race for Governor,
and later said both of the oppo-

be out of the race when the pri-
mary cahle up. In this it hit it
exactly. h

The Estill field is reached from

Junction on the Southern railway,
the Louisville and Atlantic road
leads to Irvine and passes the wells

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Bottle of hamberlain's S
cough Remedy.

"When | had an attack of the grip
last winter (tbe second one) actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
w. Perry, Editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest
truth. at times keep from coughing
myself to pieces by taking teas poon-
full of this remedy, and when the cough
ing spell would come on at night |
would take a dose and it seemed that
in the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough aud its ac-
companying pains. To say that the
remedy acted as a most agreeable sur.
prise is putting it very mildly. had
no idea that il would or could knock
out the grip, simply because ! had
never tried it for such a purpose, but
it did, and it seemed with the second
attack of coughing the remedy caused
it to not only be of less duration, but
the pains were far less severe, aud |
had not used the contents of one bot
tie before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu."
