Enroute to North Middletown
gsIdaes. Birds, Blood Hounds. Gull
Yerts and Cattle.


On Wednesday, April %, the
.=-.ter went to North Middletown.
On Febrl airy IL, our last trip was
made there. We then called atten
tion to that dangerous place in the
pike near he home of A. B. Ratlitf.
We are pleased to state that same
has been repaired, and possibly a
damage suit prevented.
We noticed that there we're defects
in two culverts and bridge before
oideyiew is reached nlanks broken
out in culverts land in one hole Il
large rock, put for protection, pro-
trudes about five inches. o: my
countrymen, think what would
happen if the buggy wheel were to
hit that rock when the horse is
going at a 2:4O gai9. On the
bridge the railing is broken down j..
If horse, OK ar man were to SO
over, the fall would be about II to
Is feet.
Lest some one should say: here
he is az ain fault finding" we will
observe that there are many stretch
es lin spots) of pike which are
smooth, and without gulleys wash
ed, and we saw most beautiful
red bird sitting on the limb of a
tree (only one red bird, probably
looking for mate) and the blue
grass pastures are very attractive,
BLooDHoUNDs.
Have you heard it intimated that
since the pixies have been made
free, petit larceny has increased in
the country? The farmers poultry
yards, meat houses, barns, farms,
ETC., have been pillaged and great
loss has resulted. The toll gates
served as a partial protection, fol
thief did not want to risk being
detected by the gate keeper. Now
that the pixies are free, many other
things are free. as thieves find a
ready market for stolen articles i
they get more than they want fol
personal use.
We have heard it intimated thai
is this getting to be nuisance, anC
there is demand for protection.
One suggestion is that the coun-
ty buy bloodhounds, so that thieves
and criminals can be traced. w,
would like to have expressions from
our readers in country and town OF
this subject Our columns are oper
to you. If you have grievance OF
suggestion, make it. Do not al
speak at once. Tell us what you
think about the plan. The Fisca
Court may be considering the mat
ter, for an opportunity may arts,
to say yes or no.

We called at the home of B. F
Mark to see Mrs. Ella Priest, wht
has been sick since September
We regret to say that her friend
are not encouraged with prospect
of recovery. God makes all thing
work together for good to thos'

Hopkinsville, Ky.

The editor of the Kentuckian
made a visit, partly on business
and partly for pleasure, to Missis-
sippi last week. A part of the time
was spent at the stirring little city
of Grenada, as the guest of an edI-
torial friend, Mr.. ]. w. Buchanan.
The towns of Mississippi are won
derfully prosperous, the banks in
Grenada and other cities showing
such healthy state of affairs that
stock sells at from ST. .25 to $1.75.
ard the dividends ia some cases
are as high as 40 per cent per an
num- The country people are not
so prosperous. Depending upon
one crop only, they .donot find cot
ton planting a ready road to
wealth. What the South needs
above all things is healthy immi-
grafton of farmers who know how
10 raise other crops besides cotton.
The soil Of Mississippi can be made
to produce we'll in hay, peas, fruits,
vegetables, potatoes, &c. Stock rails
ing of all kinds seems to be neglect
ed, especially thoroughbred stock.
When the Southern people learn the
advantages of diversified crops,
Kentucky, Mississippi and other
states will show the same prosperity
in farming operations that charac-
terizes states possessing no SUI
perior natural advantages, in other
parts of the country. The people
of Mississippi are typicalISouthern-
ers, noted for their hospitality to
strangers, and we met many of
them and received a cordial well

BUSH For JUDGE.

Christian county is to have a can
didate for circuit judge who will
enter the contest with an undivided
support az home. The retirement
of Mr.. Jas. B. Allensworth from the
race on Tuesday, has caused Judge
Chas. II. Bush to reconsider his
previous decision not to run, based
on the prospect of divided county.
His formal announcement appears
by authrity in todays paper. 1t
has been nearly forty years since
Christian county furnished the dis
trict a circuit Judge, although it is
by far the largest county in the
district and court is held here tour
months of every year. Judge Bush
is a native of Christian county and
his position at the head of the Hop
kinsville bar has been won solely
on his merits as an able and sue
cessful lawyer He is recognized
all over the district as frst-class
judicial timber and his friends feel
confident that his popularity at
home and abroad will make him an
easy winner. He is opposed by
two worthy gentlemen, Judge ThOs.
P. Cook, of Galloway, and Mr.. Jas
H. Coleman. of the same county.
With Christian practically solid for
Bush and the vote divided in the
other end Of the district, the Hop
kinsvile candidate seems to hold a
most encouraging position in the
race.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only pos
tive cure now known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upen the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature
in doing it's word. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer one Hun

d. Clardy. who also endorsed DR.
Bell, was given the same assurance
The Governor at thattime and lateI
the same day pledged his word t
Mr.. Meacham that he would do al
he had promised in regard to DR.
Bell and might possibly do better.
Gov. Beckham's Secretary, Mr.. Ed
o. Leigh, bore the Governors mes
sages and has personal knowledge
of these facts, and also of the fact
that Mr.. Meacham made no other
recommendations for Office for any
one.
The Governor had promised to
make the appointment within ten
days, saying that he would give the
candidate subsequently appointed
first assistant the place OF second
assistant.
The appointment was not made
and it soon became known that the
Governor had deceived Mr.. Meach-
am for the purpose of influencing
his vote in the committee meeting
held soon afterwards, and that he
had no intention of keeping his
word solemnly pledged in the pres
ence of witnesses. This is the
whole truth in regard to asylum
patronage and any statement to
the contrary is lie pure and
simple, no matter from what source
it emanates.
Truth is virtue that is greatly
respected and pledge of honor is
regarded as a solemn compact be-
tween gentlemen. After his expe.
rience with Gov. Beckham, Mr..
Meacham preferred to give his sup.
port to Judge Black in the cam
paign that followed.
When the nomination was made,
Mr.. Meacham supported the nomi-
nee and when Gov. Beckham Wis.
tied his town introduced him to the
audience, although he has never yet
vouchsafed an explanation of the
deception practiced, nor offered an
apology for the breach of faith.
a year later certain men Of bad
character appointed to Office in the
Western Asylum and to other posi-
tons of honor and trust in the
county, began to cause scandals by
the asylum a rendezvous
for lawbreakers, a good many Of
whom were finally indicted and
punished. AS a good citizen, Mr..
Meacham could do. nothing less
than condemn the retention ia Office
of corrupt and immoral men. The
guilty officials were not endorsed
by him and the Democrats article
needs NJ better evidence of its I'M
truth than the statements that the
Governor dismissed him" and
then appointed "an official who was
his friend" AS matter of fact,
the Kentuckian, in common with
the decent press of Kentucky, de-
manded that every guilty man be
turned out and proper men be put
in Office. He made no recommends
tons for the Office and preferred no
charges against the Governors
friends, who dare
not even now deny that only part
IF the guilty ones were indicted.
We have departed from our usual
custom to offer this explanation,
since the Democrat has evidently OBJ
aimed its information from some
liar.

Pittshurg Leader.

To the layman, the man unacquainted
with the steam spinning wheels and puff
fling exhaust pipe, visit to q modern
engine, aside from most casual and
superficial glance at the power station
where one of these novel power -g1vers is
operating, would be a rude shock. To the
boy or girl who has been a born admirer
Of the great engine with massive drive
Wheel smoothly gliding piston rod, huge
crank shaft and the cleaning revolving
mechanism, that is at least inspiring and
pretty to look upon. the appearance of a
modern turbine engine is somewhat dis.
appointing because the beauty is gone.
The manufacturer. however, who has to
pay the bills finds In 1t more than any
one else. A coal saver, a steam econo-
mizer, q space saver and a mininnizer of
danger to his employees.
In the new power house OF the Pitts
burg and Connellsville railroad. near Con-
nellsvllle, there are three Of these new
machines, probably the first of their type
to be used In western Pennsylvania. with
the exception of the works Of the West
fnghouse plants, where they are built.
n The first question one asks when he
sees the engine is: Where are the
wheels?" There are no wheels, is the an
swer. a.5-- ~
There stands the twentieth century
power supply, in full operation, but not
thing about it, so far as the eye is con-
cerned, Is in motion. Only the ear can
detect the life in the thing. It has low
singing hum to it's Internal motion that
resembles the sound Of the modern cleo
trio generator. There Is nothing left of
the cylinder the great hywheel, the piston
rod or crank shaft. There are no eccen-
trio rods, pulley wheels and huge betting
to connect with the overhead shafts. All
these are wonders Of the past and to the
turbine engine are antiquities Of an earlier
period. They are not gone, by any means,
but they are going.
Instead Of all Of this brilliant array Of
whirring steel and iron there stands be-
fore the visitor an apparently inanimate
object. It looks like an engine frame Of
the old style, shorn of its wheels and
most important parts. In reality, it is a
steel encasement, within which is the long
steel shaft. having short blades projecting
from it and upon which blades steam Is
working. as 1t rushes thru the encasement
from the point of entrance to the point of
exit. One Of the men explained It's meth
DDS Of working by saying that it is like
an ordinary screw being inserted into a

metal tube. Steam is turned in at one
end of this tube, runs along the thread Of
the screw to the other end and makes
the screw revolve. This is all done on 4
big scale inside of the huge iron case or
frame of the engine, and to do away with
wheels and shafts the same screw Of tur-
b1ne Is projected beyond the bladed part
and Is attached to a dynamo, which is
worked as part of the engine.
While the Industrial world is talking of
the wonder of this new machine the most
interesting feature Of it comes from the
fact that 1t Is q return to the earliest
known type of steam engine in the world S
history. The very principle it uses was
first tried, according to reliable data, about
l2O years before the Christian era. and
among the Egyptians The first machine
was more Of a toy than a practical in
strument for the aid Of mankind. In
1929 the de Laval turbine was invented.
which was a slight improvement on the
first or Egyptian machine. This second
one might have been taken up and i'm
proved from that time, but in 17O5 the
existing engine appeared. It is called the
reciprocating engine, and turbines were
not thought Of again until within the very
recent past.

ached to knock some one into the middle
of the next week. e
One day the old folks went to town and
left me alone, and by and by, as I was
working near the highway, dude Of a
chap came along in a buggy and called
out:
:" My deah fellah, can you tell me how
fab it Is to Williamston?'
1t is nine miles-at,' replied In
knocking tones.
Deah me. but you don't seem to like

asked.
Because it was two hours later when
q neighbor found me in a, fence corner,
and I had a broken nose and two black
eyes. and my ambition had departed for
ever. Whether the little dude landed on
me once or twenty times can't say, but
