El p1blico no era tan hume

sc poca concurrencia anoche en-

juicio, cuando Sc trata de alle-

Small Pox at Pembroke.

Two new cases of smallpox have
developed since our last seport,
says the Pembroke Journal. They
are members of the family of Matt
Killebrew, colored, who lives in a
cabin on the Jameson farm, near
Kenner's creek. They contracted
the disease by contact with the
Parish family, who brought it here
from Casky.
The patients are being guarded
in their homes as closely as posi-
BILE to prevent them coming in con-
tact with others. Marshal Jack
son has been appointed guard and
has charge of the patients.

Tennessee Central Road, Is in town
looking after the interest of his COM

work up as large a business a s pos

freight and passenger. In this he
has been very successful on that
part of the road running from Nash
Vile 10 Hartman, Tenn. From
Hartman the Tennessee Central
runs several excursions annually
TO Nashville. They are known as
Business Mems Excursions and
the extremely low rate in force en-
ables the merchants to go to Nash
willie to buy their fall and winter
stocks. One Of the aims of Mr..
Law hon ; present stay in Hop
kinsvllle is TO look into the matter
OF running excursions from this
place to Nashville, and so far he
has been given every encourage
menl by the business men and by
those who would a sightseeing 60.
The limit ct the excursion ticket is
usually four or FIVE days.
1t is interesting to note that Mr..
Lawhou has instructions from his
company to spend two or three days
of each week IN Hopkinsville wait
ing on our merchants. This prac-
tically gives Hopkinsville her own
soliciting man and it is hoped that
the shipping public will show it's
appreciation in a most substantial
way.

London, Aug. 2S.-Accordiug to
dispatch of to-day's date to the
Central News from Lao Yang, an
artillery battle has been in prog.

near Lao Yang. The Russian
main position, the dispatch says, is
what was formerly the outpost line
OF the Lao Yang garrison.
The fight at Anshanshan result

tinulug all day and all night, The
Russians lost heavily. The retire
ment, it is stated, was in an orderly
ly manner, and the order to retreat
was great disappointment to the
troops, who were lighting valiantly
against odds, according to reports
from Russian sources. 1t is a gen.
eral belief that big battle will be
fought at Lao Yang. Japan is
said to be sending reinforcements
to Port Arthur, and $4,000 men
have arrived at Dalny' in trans

Milling wheat ought to bring fancy
prices if the prediction of H. v. Jones,
to Minneapolis crop expert, are veri-
fed by results. Jones says in sum.
ming up the northwestern wheat situa-
ton:
"The northwest has raised 15,000,-
bushels less, wheat than last year,
including macaroni. This is in meas
ured bushels. When we take weight
into account at sixty pounds to the
bushel, the yield is much less. I do
not think the northwest has to exceed
lis, 100000 bushels of milling wheat,
not counting macaroni, which up to
this time has checkered career from
milling standpoint. The total Of
504 100000 for the United States does
not include the 100000 macaroni;
neither does it allow for deduction for
poor quality. The United States, in
my Judgment, does not have above
100000 bushels of milling wheat
or about home consumption"

OF Great Local Interest.

Wilton News: Professor Babcock
is very enthusiastic over the outlook
for briquettes and thinks the time not
far distant when the commercial
briquetting OF American Ignite coal
will be reality. How much it will
mean to us locally can be readily i'm.
agined. It will make our product not
only Of superior value as fuel, but
it will put 1t in such a condensed form
that 1t can be shipped long distances
at a much cheaper freight rate, and
can be thus sold at a profit. This will
enable our mines to run to their full
capacity both summer and winter,
doubling our payroll and the number
OF our local wage-earners. As the
supply is practically inexhaustible, the
beneft that would accrue to Wilton
and her people can be. easily seen.
The st. Louis experiments will be
watched with much interest here.
