q the I. G. y
The committees from the Com
mercial club and the general council
held a meeting yesterday afternoon
and appointed the following sub
committee to act as a committee of
reception when the Nashville de,ega
ton arrives tomorrow afternoon:
Messrs. Charles Reed. Ed. p No

Nauheim. John Bonds. John G. Rink
lei aud Charley Wheeler
The delegation & expected tomor-
row about noon over the I. C. They
have several palatial coaches. and
each one is fitted out with complete
telephone service furnished by the
Cumberland Telephone company.
When station is reached a line is
run to the train and the members of
the party find themselves in instant
communication with their firms and
homes in Nashville. or anywhere else
they desire TO talk. The arrange
ments are the most complete of theh
kind ever made in the south, and are
n great credit to the Cumberland Tel
ephone Co. Manager Joynes, OF Pa
ducah. has completed the connec-
tions at the depot here. and when the
train arrives all that will have to
be done will be to attach the wires
to the train and 1t will practically
be a direct line from Paducah to
Nashville. Nearly all the Cumber-
land officials are in the Nashville
crowd
The form of entertainment for the
visitors will be fully decided on by
night. When II was learned that
these distinguished gentlemen from
the south were going to stop at Pa
ducah, the Commercial club invited
the mayor TO meet with them. but
the mayor. as usual, wanted to put
things of. He wanted a meeting
held when the board of aldermen
meets tonight, but this would give
no time for preparations, and the
Commercial club insisted on imme-
diate action. The result was the APP
pointment of the committees.
The visitors will be taken over the
city in automobiles souvenir cards
will be distributed and possibly the
delegation taken for a street car ride.
Secretary Coons has out an artis-
Tic souvenir card to present to the
members OF the Nashville board of
trade when they arrive tomorrow.
They are small cards with the
blank map of the United States prln-
ted ON IL. In the upper left hand cor
uer is the picture of a man with hat
on and in an attitude OF welcome,
bowling towards the only city on the
map-Paducah
The cards bear the compliments OF
the Commercial club and have one
or two salient facts about the city
printed on the margin.

One Of the livery stables OF the city
has q white colt that Is wonder,
Today. he successfully accomplished
the feat Of jumping the fence which
surrounds Lincoln park and though a
cart was attached both equine and
buggy landed safe and sound In the
enclosure. An inventory discovered
that there was no damage to either
the caft or the horse.
This white three-year.old has not
been broken to drive, but as will be
suspected. II is very natural for him
to Jump. This afternoon. he was
hitched to o cart and with one stal.
wart youth leading him and the other
occupying the seat Of the cart and
handling the reins. an attempt was
made TO walk the beast around the
park. The high spirited animal got
tired Of 10 simple q form Of ambula.
ton and started to raise some excite.
ment He easily tipped on the young
man who occupied the seat Of honor,
gave the one who had hold Of the bit
the shake and started to burn the
streets around the park. Then by
way Of variety he headed towards the
fence, and went over It or under II or
through It cart and all. At any rate
when the horse breakers picked them
selves up and looked about, there was
the horse with the cart inside the
fenced park. The animal, however
declined to show how he did 1t and
had to be unhitched before he could
be persuaded to leave SO attractive q
