in most exquisite taste with hearts Of
all sizes in honor Of st. Valentines day.

most delightful features OF the carni
val, AID the large audience which
attended we're more than pleased
with the performance. The play
was comedy from beginning to end
and if there was one person in the
audience who did not enjoy hearty
laugh it was certainly no fault of
Mr.. Clarke aud his company. for the
audience was kept in roars OF laugh
ter and showed their appreciation by
tremendous applause. Mr.. Harry
Corson Clarke is no stranger here,
having appeared here the last two
seasons and each time winning many
friends. He is comedian of no
mean ability, His work in the part
of Mr.. Pennie proved his right to
rank among the foremost actors of
the day. Joseph Lehman as Mr.. Bur
nay, was excellent. Miss Margaret
owen, who possesses a pretty stage
presence, and who knows much OF
the art of acting, made decided hit
in delineating Mrs Pennie. Miss
Myra Ketcham, as Nita, to say the
least divided honors with the best of
the cast. The remainder OF the COM
pany were splendid in their respec-
tive parts. As whole this was one
of the most pleasing attractions of
the most pleasing attractions of the
season. The costumes we're hand
some, the scenery pretty and the
play and play ers would undoubtedly
be hard to improve upon. Surely
there was nothing more to be desir-

new LAMAR FACTORY
A New Company Incorporated to Man.
ufature Pressed Brick and Roof
Thing at Lamar

Articles Of incorporation were filed
with the secretary of state yesterday
for the Lamar Brick and Stone Co.,
capital $50, 900, with w. G. Gould,
W. ]. wayte and L. Writ Markham
O. incorporAtors. Tho new company
will put in plant for making 25,OOo
brick per day and be ready to begin
manufacturing brick about April l5.
The company has purchased q plat
of ground in the northeast part OF
town and will begin work at once.
When in operation the plant will en-
ploy 20 to % men and be big item
in the upbuilding of Lamar. Mr..
Markham has besn ono of the chief
promoters of this enterprise, which
promises 80 much for Lamar, and
with his customary psrsistency has
kept at it until success has crowned
his efforts. It means the best build
ing material in the state at reason
able cost for Lamar in addition to
. good manufacturing plant The
capital has bsen fully assured and a
ready market for the product secured.
The brick will be manufactured from
sand aud lime by . German process,
which has been successfully used
there for so years but only recently
introduced in this country. They
are absolutely impervious to heat,
frost, water or acids, and can be made
in all oolors. The company will later
manufacture a perfect roof tiling by
the same process The machinery
is very expensive as it is OF the hsav-
lest steel structure. Ono machine
subjects the brick to pressure equal
to 80 tons per brick. They are then
placsd on cars and run into an i'm
msnss steel tube 88 feet long and
baked by steam for . period of ten
hour, after which they are ready for
the market. The product is as much
superior to ordinary pressed brick as
that il TO common brick. Watch
Lamar grow! Next!

ment company, to which position he

Mr.. Flournoy has been connected
with the concern for the past year
or two, and had for quite a while
been urged to come to Atlanta and
assume the active management of
IL, the directors approaching his ex-
ceptional business ability.
He was a short time ago elected
president. and consented to locate In
Atlanta. which he did February 18th
since which date he has been in
charge of the enormous plant OF the
concern.
Mr.. Flournoy says that he will
always have warm spot in his heart
for Kentucky and Paducah. and
that he while his home will be in At
lanta. and his business will keep him
there most OF the time. he will come
to Paducah as often as he can. to see
his friends. He also has extensive
business interests here. which will
claim some OF his attention.
Mr.. Flournoy's success in the bus
mess world has been great For sew
eral years he was secretary of the
Street Railway company. and has
helped build up many of Paducah's
most important enterprises. He has
prosPsred steadily and Is considered
one OF the wealthiest men In South
west Kentucky.

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT
TO Be A BITTER ONE
People of Barlow City Want to
Get Court House.
The People OF wickliffe Who Have
Just Built a New Court House
Are Much Wrought Up.
PETITION ~ CIRCULATED

1t is reported that a movement Is
on foot to change the county seat OF
Ballard county, Kentucky, Cairo's
neighboring county across the Ohio
river, from wickliffe to Barlow and
II is said that Wickliffe people are
up in arms over the matter. And
well they may be. with a handsome
new court house Just completed.
says the Cairo Telegram.
A petition is being circulated at
Barlow and vicinity which will be
presented to the legislature asking
the right to hold an election in the
county to vote on the question of
the removal of the county seat to
Barlow.
1t is altogether probable that the
people of Wickliffe will make a hard
fight against the measure. Recently
the handsome new court house at
Wickliffe was completed and is
source of great pride to the towns
the courthouse at Wickliffe was
built by unfair means. They aver
that the county Judge and justice of
the peace who reside at or near
Wickliffe, were in the majority when
the question of building came up for
consideration and that they pushed
the matter through against the wish
es of a majority of the people of the
county.
The advocates of Barlow complain
Of the location of Wickliffe as being
remote from the other parts of the
county being situated as it is in the
southwest corner of the county.
Carlyle and Ballard counties were
all one large county some years ago
ard a division was made into the two
counties, Mayfield creek being the
dividing line. The county seat of Bal
lard county was removed in
1850 to Wickliffe.
In the event that Barlow wins
in the fight, the land on which the
courthouse stands at Wiekliffe would
revert to the heirs of Colonel Wick
life who donated the site to the
county.
A gentleman from Ballard county
today stated that he didn't think
there was any doubt about the coun-
ty seat of Ballard being moved away
from Wickliffe, but that he didn't
believe it would go to Barlow, KY,
but to La Center, which is said to be
about the center of the county.

NOTHING DONE.
The Proposed Plank Walk Cannot
lie Constructed.

The meeting of the board of
works and joint street committee at
the city hall yesterday resulted in no
definite action. II was proposed that
plank walk be constructed from
Sixth and George to Eighth and
Bockmon streets, the estimated cost
being s325, but It was learned that
the property over which Il would
have to go is private and the owner
is not willing that the walk be built.
In regard to building the culyert
on Caldwell street to take the place
of the bridge. the board of works
was instructed to confer with the
Illinois Central and Street Railway
company and try To get them TO
stand part OF the expense, which will
be about $4,000.
