W.CAMPBELL
DIED Midday
IN BOTH YEAR.
Was Last But Two OF a
Once Large
Family.
ILL BUT TEN DAYS.
A Man of the Highest Sense
of Honor and In
tegrity.
ILL BUT TEN DAYS.

Mr.. Joseph W. Campbell died
Friday night last at the age of SO
years. He lived but about ten days
after being taken down with fux.
In the passing of Mr.. Campbell
Hopkinsville has lost another Of its
oldest and most respected citizens.
Mr.. Campbell was what might be
called, by persons who did not know
him well, unique" character. In
deed, he was unique in the fullest
sense Of the term. To those who
knew him best he was the soul of
honor. He was a man of the highest
conception of honesty and integrity.
One who was guilty of a dishonest
act never found sympathy with Mr..
Campbell. He had a sympathetic
heart, and those in trouble and adj
versity were more the object of his
thoughts than the prosperous and
joyous. He never sought popularity
or advancement but was what was
called a retiring man. Were his
charitable deeds known to the world
but few in our midst would be cred
tied with having done more to sup
ply the needs of the deserving than
he. Mr.. Campbell was educated at
Georgetown college and retained
more of what he read than the av-
erage man. Few men in our midst
were better informed as to current
events than he. He was great
lover of home but not a recluse.
There was nothing small about him,
though he was most positive in his
convictions and rarely ever swerved
from opinions when once formed.
Mr.. Campbell was a son of John
P. Campbell, ST., President of the
Bank of Hopkinsville when the civil
war closed and probably the wealth
lest man in the city or county at that
time. The deceased had four sisters
and three brothers, only two of whom
survive him, Mrs. Cook the wife of
DR.. E. r. Cook, and Mrs. Sue Faux
ner, of Virginia. Mr.. Campbell was
married in 1853 to Miss Margaret
Beazley, who bore him two daught-
ers, Mrs. Henry D.Wallace and Miss
Bette Campbell. Mrs. Campbell
died many years since. The Hon.
John. P. Campbell, Jr., who repre-
sented this district in Congress, was
a younger brother and Mr.. James
! U. Campbell, the father of Mrs.
John R. Green was the oldest broth
er of the family.
DR.. c. H. Nash conducted the fun
eral services at his late residence
Saturday afternoon at A o'clock and
his remains were laid to rest in
Hopewell cemetery.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
theinflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inAamed condition of the
nucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
eulars, free.

out in the paper and made the state
ment that owing to the improved
service and the increased number Of
subscribers they could afford to re-
duce their rates.
If such be the case, il is very fun
ny to the average subscriber why it
is that the rates are higher in Evans
vile, Nashville and Louisville, if
they can afford to reduce their rates
on account of the increased number
of subscribers and the Improvement
Of service, because ia all three of
these cities there is a much larger
number of subscribers than there
are in Hopkinsville. It is also very
strange that the Cumberland Tele.
phone Company could not have done
this prior to competition as we'll as
after and it is also strange why it is
or why it was that they stated that
before they would reduce their
rates they would move out of town.
There are many places in Christian
county today where they are now
receiving county service for S1.65
per month, whereas before competi-
ton they were paying $4.15 per
month. Not only that, but prior to
competition, there was not citizen
in Christian county who was receiv-
ing good telephone service and in
addition to paying higher rates,
each and every subscriber was com
PEELED to pay toll rate from fifteen
to twenty-five cents per message
every time it was necessary for him
to telephone outside of the bum ex-
change with which he was connected.
Therefore, when everything is taken
into consideration and is weighed by
all business men and all subscribers
who are interested in good telephone
service, each and every one can read
lily see the benefits that have been
received by and through tie Home
Telephone Company have been the
means of not only giving us a first
class service in every particular, but
it has been the means of giving us
reasonable rates, and in addition to
increasing the number of people to
whom we can talk without toll mes
sages, has been the means of saw
ing to the people of Christian county
no less than $4,000 year.
The Home Telephone Company
from the beginning up to the pres
ent time has fulfilled its every prom
Use and has given to its subscribers
a service that is unequaled and I'M
surpassed anywhere in the state of
Kentucky today and when all things
are considered, there is no public
serving enterprise or no company in
our county that IS more deserving
of the public support in every way
than is the Hopkinsville Home Tele-
phone Company.
We wish to give due credit and
due justice to all the enterprises of
Christian county and in face of the
conditions as they existed before and
after competition, we cannot too
strongly state that the Home Tele-
phone Company is the only telephone
company that is entitled to the just |
of the citizens of Christian |
county.

Benefits 1t Has Brought To
Telephone Subscribers
In County,
IN SERVICE AND RATES.
People Owe Much To The
Company That Brought
Competition.

It has now been just about one
year since the Hopkinsville Home
Telephone Company began to get
ready to give telephone service to
the citizens Of Hopkinsville, and we
feel it due to the company and to its
stockholders and patrons tostate the
many advantages that have been
gained through the advent of this
enterprise.
When the Hopkinsville Home Tel
ephone Company was first organized,
great many people seemed to
doubt whether the exchange would
ever be built, and in case it was,
whether it would ever give a better
service than the already rotten one
that they were receiving from the
Cumberland Company. At the time
they first began construction, the
Cumberland Company made every
attempt to block their progress and
to the extent that they went out and
stated to the citizens Of Hopkinsville
that if they would refuse to sign any
contract with the Home Company
they would give those who refused
free county service. This move on
the part of the Cumberland Teler
phone Company only went to show
that, for the time being, they were
willing to give this free county SER
vice to our citizens, not because of
their love for the people, but because
they thought by SO doing, they
would be able to keep the Home
Telephone Company from doing
business.
Prior to this time, the citizens Of
Hopkinsville had been laboring with
the Cumberland Company to give
them better service and, if possible,
to reduce their rates, but in con
fronting the officials of the Cumber-
land Company with the proposition,
the only satisfaction that the repre-
sentative citizens got from them was
that the Cumberland Company would
not improve their service unless they
increased their rates and before they
did make an Improvement without
increasing their rates they would
move out of the city. 1t is not worth
while for us to dwell upon the class
of service that was given by the
Cumberland Telephone Company
prior to the advent of the Home
Telephone Company, because every
citizen of Hopkinsville who is not
directly or indirectly associated with
the Cumberland Telephone Company
knows it was beyond all question
about as rotten as could be thought
of.
However, as soon as the Home
Telephone Company began active
work and the Cumberland Telephone
Company realized that they were
going to do business, they at once
gave up the idea of trying to do
business in competition with the
rotten and out-of-date service and
at once began to reconstruct their
entire plant from beginning to end
and after that was done, they came
