on the man living in Pacific county for
support. This exemption is intended
for every head of a family, and if the
party referred to contributes to the
support of mis- family, whether they are
in Pacific county or anywhere else he
would be entitled to the exemption.
IF, however, he is living alone and
separate from mis- family and not con-
tributing to them in any way the mere
fact of his being a married man and
having a family would not entitle him
to the exemption.

The charges preferred against the
plaintiff in this case, If true, are of a
very serious nature, and the conduct
alleged against him, If true, is very
reprehensible. but, in my opinion,
they are charges that effect him as a
citizen and not in his official capacity,
and that he, like any other citizen of
the commonwealth, is amenable to
the law for any violations thereof,
and may be tried and punished there
for. as any other citizen of the COM
monwealth, but he must be guilty OF
some official misconduct, or some
thing that effects his Office, OF the

FLOUR TO BE CHEAPER.
In Kentucky This Fall, From Indica-
tions.

From the present outlook millers
are confident that the price of flour
will not be far from normal during
the fall and winter, and in Ken
lucky the price is apt to be slightly
reduced on account of the abundant
crop now being threshed in the
state. Although the rains have done
considerable damage in many por-
tions of the state, other sections have
produced an extraordinary crop, and
local millers expect more wheat this
year than has been placed on the
market in ANY of the last three sea-
sons.
Rains in parts of the state, nota-
bly, the Bluegrass section and the
central counties, have been too fire.

doctor. Owe did not ask them or urge
them to use large number of bottles, as
is the case in the advertising of many

give such advice. Owe know by the ex-
perience of over IS years that one 7s-cent
