Suit Against Exchange Bank
Reversed.

The Court of Appeals has re-
versed the case of j. T. Day against
the Exchange Bank of Kentucky
from this county. The matter in
controversy in this case has been in
litigation for about Is years. j.
T. Day, by his agent, j. G. Trimble,
i4 1884 purchased from the Ex-
change Bank 60 shares Of It's CAPT
tai stock and afterwards in 1887
sold the same to different parties,
and in February, 1888, there were
various errors discovered in the
books of the bank which greatly
deprecated the value of the stock,
and the result was that the parties
who had purchased the stock from
Day instituted suits against him
and his agent, j. G.. Trim BILE, to re-
cover the difference between what
they had paid for the stock and the
book value of it when the errors in
the books had been corrected, and
recovered judgments against them
for upwards of SO, 1000, which Day
had to pay. He then brought suit
against the bank to recover the
amount he had to pay, and at the
April term, 1901, of the Montgom-
cry Circuit Court the case was tried
and verdict found for the defend
ant. Day took the case to the
Court of Appeals, which has been
reversed, the Court deciding that
the plea upon which the defendant
relied is not sufficient to defeat the
action. The bank will now have
to pay the debt to Day, which, with
it's interest, will amount to upwards
of So, 900.

PROM EVERY SECTION.
Worlds Pair Exhibits Already Ar.
ranged for Prom 1903 Of the
l19 Counties.

Since the Kentucky Exhibit As
ISOLATION has succeeded in raising
the full amount, 800, 900, for Civ
ing Kentucky representation at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, its
entire efforts henceforth are to be
directed towards the gathering of
exhibits from every county in the
State. 1t has arranged tor dis
plays from all but sixteen counties.
Committees are now at work in
these sixteen counties and it is evil
dent that before the Worlds Fair
opens on April 80 every county in
the State will have representation,
The Association is hoping that this
representation will be adequate.
1t wants to give to every county
space sufficient for an attractive
display of its products and re-
sources, believing that great good
viii result from such exhibits. The
Association has committees at work
in every county and urges citizens
generally to come forward at once
with any exhibits they may think
worthy space at the exposition,
turning them over either to the
Worlds Fair Committee or sending
them direct to the Kentucky Ex-
hibit Association at Louisville. In
addition TO the exhibits to be made
in the Kentucky Building, which
structure is about completed. The
Association has been allotted from
1000 to 1000 square feet in the
main exhibit palaces in which tt
make creditable displays of Ken
tucky's products and resources. 1
behooves the citizens of our count,
to come forward with everythin,
that would interest an exposition
visitor. No time is to be lost, a
all exhibits Ould be in Louisvill
not later than April 1st-the soone
the better.

Road Commissioner.

Since the action of the Court of
Appeals relative to Magistrates
acting as Road Commissioners, it
has caused quite a stir over the
State, resulting in many applica-
tions for such a position. In the
event it becomes necessary to elect
a Road Commissioner for Mont
gomery County we are sure our
Board of Magistrates will consider
the fitness of the man for the posi-
ton. We are sure the place de-
mands a thoughtful man with
well-trained mind who reasons
we'll to a conclusion--one who can
manage force of hands, deal with
contractors, is strictly honest, in
dustrious, reliable and responsible.
We are informed Mr.. r. S. Stokley
will be an applicant for the place
in this county should the Board of
Magistrates conclude to fill such a
place, and we do not know of any
man better qualified for the posi-
ton. Should the Magistrates de-
eide to elect Special Commission
er we would have them to be mind
full of the Importance and RESPONSE
bility of the position of which all
citizens are concerned.

An Expert Proof Reader-He Al
ways FINDS Errors in Every
Book He Reads.

SSOA az AAOAASs
One of the most extensive read
ers in this section of the State is j
Clyde Nelson, of Sharpsburg, Bath
county. His fondness for reading
developed in early childhood, and it
is said of him that he has read
every book he could obtain, either
by purchase or borrowing. His
range of reading includes fiction,
history, biography, poetry and cur
rent literature.
In recent years Mr.. Nelson's pc
rusal of books has, in addition to
the pleasure and instruction deriv-
ed therefrom, established the fact
that he is a connoisseur in correct
punctuation of sentences, para
graphing, the use of good English
and other essentials of modern
high class literature. In his read
ing he is quick to detect any error,
typographical, orthograp hical, or
otherwise, and during the past five
years he has never read a book in
which he failed to fad some errors.
In many of these cases he has writ
ten the publishers, calling atten-
ton to the errors, or else he has
reconstructed some sentences, or
made other changes, with the re-
suit that, in>every such instance,
the publishers have acknowledged
that he was correct, and have rec
ognized his ability by incorporat-
ing in the next edition of the book
the corrections or alterations sug-
gested by him IL consequence of
this he has received offers from
publishers, rendering him the po-
sition of proofreader in their estab-
lshments, and it is likely that he
may soon accept one of these offers.
Mr., Nelson is yet a young man,
being only weight years of
age. He is graduate from the
law department of Northwestern
University, Chicago, and also pos
sesses liberal education He was
formerly Police Judge of the town
of Sharpsburg, and was also Town
Attorney for a number of years.
During the past twelve years he
has been editing the Bath County
! World, local newspaper publish
ed at Sharpsburg, He began his
editorial work without previous
experience. Among his duties is
the preparation of all copy for the
compositors, afterwards proofread
ing it. He has an Unborn ambition
to have everything just right, being
exceedingly careful and painstak-
ing in his work. This natural trait
with his training in the little coun
| try newspaper office, has developed
him into the critical reader that he
is, and has given him the qualifica-
tions that may soon make him a
valuable attache of some large pub
fishing establishment.

English Society and Tips.

Life in so-called high society in England
Is by no means all cakes and ale. The
man who is on the visiting list of the gem
try and nobility who own large country
houses has no easy time accepting his.
chances for entertainment there. He must
expect to spend a considerable sum of
money i'm exchange for the hospitality
granted to him. For at every establish
ment, especially those with hunting pre-
serves. the tipping system has been deyel-
oped TO the point of high art and woe be-
tide the visitor who thinks to escape with
out paying literally for his entertainment.
The London Mail has recently started a
crusade against this nuisance and in a re-
cent issue stated that hundreds of English
sporting men are compelled to refuse in
vitations to country houses because of the
heavy expense involved The tips are usu-
ally arranged on a scale of generosity
which staggers the man of slender purse

give. as a rule. ten shiliings, or $3.50, for a

GA Little Drop of Water"

Mr. Watson. in his address in New 1ork
last night said with other things:
This I know, and know it full well,
that what am doing is not wasted, Never
since the morning stars sang together mas
the right, the essential right, OF any true
man or woman been thrown away. Inc
little raindrop, the tiny. little raindrop,
leaves its home in the clouds and scarcely
occupies space as it comes downward to the
earth but to the seed sleeping in the sod 1t
brings a message: i am the resurrection
and the life Whether I shall reap the har-
vest or not, what do care! Let it be mine
to plant and water the seed. Let the har-
vest come and let the people get the bread.
The figure of speech is pretty, but infeiici-
tous. Mr. Watson in the role of a little
drop of water will make no votes in New
York or Indiana and he may repel some in
Kentucky. The role of a little grain of
sand would have suited him better. He has
the sand. When, some years ago. in order
to emphasize his populism, he closed UP his
law office in Georgia, sold his law library,
and went in on a twenty-acre scale for agri-
culture, he left nothing to be desired in the
matter of his conversion to the new doc
trine Still as Mr. Watson has for his run
ming mate a poeticaf gentleman of the name
of Tibbles he may have felt that he owed
something to him, and offered it in the
shape of this charming bit.
