interview of Mr.. Fleming's before the
cotton-growing readers of The Pro

from a trip through the South, "and
so consistent is his course with his
public avowals on the subject, that
the trade is confronted with the alb
normal situation of a positive enor-
nous surplus, and yet merchants
who have contracts for delivery to
spinners find an actual scarcity of
offerings, and what is bought is at
a heart-breaking basis as compared
with their future hedges.
Danger i'm Coming Contest.
Should the owner of the cotton
see fit or find it practicable to con-
tinue for the next thirty days the
policy pursued during the last sixty

interesting indeed to the locker on,
but sure to leave its mark on some
of the participants.
"The parties to the impending
fight will be the planter who owns
the cotton. the merchant who has
contracts with the spinner for speci
fed delivery, the spinner who has
not yet contracted for all his wants
and the speculator who expects to
profit by the discontinue of one or
the other of these legitimate forces.

the Franklin Favorite.
This king Of birds was caught in a

The eagles foot was caught fast

impossible for it to fly away with
it.

of his succession to the throne. His

The matter over, and the next morn

visit to the office. Arriving at
O'Clock, he found no one there. A
long search unearthed a solitary
clerk who was smoking cigarettes.

for Signor Prinetti and suggested
that instead Of asking for clerks he
should make it his business to see
hat the existing clerks attended to
their duties.

A remedy that cures catarrh must

Danger in Little Sleep.

Many energetic people seem to
think that they can steal from their
nights rest to accomplish the work.
Sometimes it is unfavorable, as when
student has to prepare for exami-
nations, and occasionally it probably
does no harm, but the regular prac-
tice of sitting up until all hours of
the night is one of the silliest things
a sensible person can do. An au-
thority says: There is no overstep-
ping Of the limit which is more dam
gerous than that of doing work
which curtails sleep"
1t is a common thing for girls in
college and students in professional
schools to loose sleep by working un
til after midnight. A certain we'll
known oculist, in speaking of this
practice, said that he and his broth
err entered college together, that he
himself worked like a grind" and
was graduated with honors, while
his brother was always at the foot
of the class. Now" he added,
my eyesight is forever impaired
and my health is delicate, while my
brother has made fully as much of
in life as /, though in a diff
ferent walk, and his eyes and health
are perfect and likely to remain so
until good old age"
The end for which schools are es-
tablished namely, useful career
in life-is defeated when one starts
with weak eyes and tired, overwork-
ed nervous system.
Of course, there is such thing as
to much sleep, but it is a decided
to rouse up an energetic
young person or growing school
child who has oversight. If the rest
was not thoroughly needed he would
probably have not oversight. "Work
while you work and rest while you
rest" is a good motto for all indus
trious young people.

KENTUCKYS LOST CITY,
MartinSyille Founded in 1885
Deserted And Lost.
Once Had More Than a Thousand
Inhabitants On the Bar
rem River.
Victor Moulderl

We have read stories how in an
cient times cities were obliterated
and their identity lost, but in our
new and progressive America very
few places that ever grew to any
size have been entirely deserted and
their very existence almost forgot
ten. So far as the modern history
of our State is concerned there is
only one place in Kentucky. which
reached the proportions of a city,
that has passed from the memory of
man Martinsville.
This city at one time could boast
of her three hundred residences, her
fleets of flat boats that piled the riv-
er, her great warehouses and i'm
mense shipping and her ten hundred
souls within her limits. With over
flowing storehouses and surround
ed by thousands of acres of the most
fertile farming lands in the world,
this Inflated city declined and grad
ually passed from the shores OF the
quick into the heavens OF the
dead.
Martinsyille was founded in the
spring Of 1888. Il was located on
the north bank Of Barren river, in
Warren county, some twenty miles
east of Bowling Greco The place
was first settled and took it's name
from Hut Martin. q hardy pioneer
accustomed to the vicissitudes of
frontier lfe. lie was a native Of
Virginia, came TO Kentucky IN 1877
and settled at Boonesboro. He was
"A friend and companion of Daniel
Boone and materially aided that
great explorer in conquering the
wilderness and opening to ciyiliza-
ton a vast domain of untold /
wealth.

idiocy. A British army officer told
me of a sad case a case of two rival
tailors, one of whom gave the other
a small dose of dhatoora. The vic
tim of the drug remained an idiot
all the rest of his life. He sat and
moved his empty hands as though he
were sewing. He was a formidable
rival no longer.
"Mercaptan produces a melancho-
ly so great as to terminate nearly al
ways in suicide. No government
would permit the manufacture and
sale Of this poison.
"Dhatoora, mercury methide, mer-
captain and some twenSy other poi
sons are neither made nor sold in
any public way. They are only ex-
perimented with. Such poisons
would be formidable weapons in un-
scrupulous hands. Driving their
victims to suicide or to insanity,
they leave behind them nothing sus-
picious or untoward. The giver of
these poisons is secure from any fear
of punishment.
Hence it is no wonder, is it, that
the learned men who know such poi
sons keep their knowledge to them
selves? If dhatoora, for instance,
were obtainable, think how our
opera singers, our painters, our
dressmakers and our money kings
might fill the lunatic asylums with
their rivals"

In the fall of l777 Boone. Martin,
McFaddin and others left the infant
settlement at Boonesboro and set
out on a journey into the wilds of

the divide, passed through what are

During the interim Martin kept his
minds eye on the fertile valley down
on the beautiful Wah-ri-he (BaTen)

as soon as the disturbed state of the
natives would allow.
Accordingly in March, 1885, he
put his resolutions into effect and
set out with his family and possess
sions in a caravan train for the
shores of the Wah-ri-he. With him
came Andrew McFaddin, Stephen
Claypool, Charles Dabney and fifteen
other families. McFaddin settled
on Barren river. four miles east of
the present city of Bowling Green.
His place was known as "McFad-
din's Station" and was located on
the farm now owned by Mr.. Emmett
Logan. Ruins of this old station are
still visible. Claypool settled on the |.
