From the Franklin County Advocate.

There was a crowd here Mon
day, The Supervisors meeting
and Tax Collectors sale Of delin-
quent lands brought together a
larger crowd than is usually sect
here on such occasions. Sheriff
Newman sold about forty sepa-
rate pieces of land for taxes, all
|of which went at considerable
margins above taxes and dam
ages, Only one subdivision, CON
tanning a few acres, was sold to
the state.
The only change made in this,
the sixth, circuit district by re-
cent act of the legislature redis-
tricting the state, is that Law
renee county was cut off and Lin
coin added; and the question why
Lincoln should not have been
given the term time of Lawrence
and let the balance of the district
remain with its court terms as
formerly. presents itself with pc
culiar force to the people of
Franklin. Franklin gets the
worst of the shuttle in having it's
spring term of court in the mid
die Of May the busiest season
of the year.
Our old and much esteemed
friend, DR.. G. z. Hogan, was an
appreciated visitor to the Advo-
cate office Monday and gave US a
brief, but very romantic and in
teresting, sketch of his early
life, back in the sixties of the past
century, with "reminiscences Of
his first and second marriages in
Kentucky, his native state, and
the part he played in the civil
war and reconstruction. This
bit of the Doctors past history
was brought wildly to mind by
his recently learning the where
abouts of a daughter, the issue
|0f his second marriage; who is
no other than the distinguished
writer and author of " Mrs.
Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch
and other well known books.

WON BY A HEAD

The mile and 20 yards handicap at the
Fair Grounds. New Orleans, yesterday
afternoon produced the best race OF the
season. 1t was both a question OF riders
and horses. and the best horse and best
rider won. Only four paraded to the post,
with the 2-year-old Kings Trophy as the
favorite in the opening betting, but under
the steady play on De Reszke the latter
was the choice at post time being backed
down from to TO even money. Rankin
and Matador were not considered serious
ly and were practically neglected In the
betting II was nip and tuck between this
pair. Starter Fitzgerald got them of to
a good start De Reszke set merry clip.
but was collared at the three-quarters
pole. From this place on home the pair
fought Il out. II was very close, and
when Kings Trophy managed to get hfs
head in front to the finish a shout that
all but shook the grandstand went up
Jockey Nicol put up an exceptionally
fine ride, and the same can be said OF the
lad Hennessey who rode De Reszke.
ST. Sever, which went down with Jockey
Crimmins the other day, was the winner
OF the first race The books overlooked
him. and, after being practically left at
the post, st. Sever came on and won by
