The jacksonville Hustler says:
1.-The Hustler has one unique SUBJ
scriptIon recorded on its books.
Hon. R. P. league called at this Of
flee on Monday and stated that he
had started in as a subscriber to the
Cleaner when C. C. Givens started it
at jacksonville in 1888, and had
been taking the papers edited by
Mr.. Owens since that time. He
stated he was tired of being bother
ed with renewing every year and he
knew that he wanted to take the
Hustler as long as he lived. He
made US a proposition to pay US $40
and that we give him a clear receipt
for the paper until death, which
was accepted and entered according.
ly on the books of the Hustler Office
This is the first and only subscriber
whose term the Hustler has insured
until death and is perhaps the only
one of the kind in the United
States"

SUFFERS LOSS OF FOOT.
The Rev. J. D. Walsh UndergoeS
Operation borrowing an
Accident.

The many friends of DR.. Walsh, in
Ohio county, will be panied to learn
that his recent injury. which was
mentioned in these columns at the
time, has resulted in making him a
permanent cripple. Wednesdays
Louisville Herald gives the following
account of his condition:
"Amputation of the left foot was
found necessary in the case of the
Rev. j. d. Walsh. formerly Presid-
ing Elder of the Louisville Method
ist church, at the Deaconess Hospit-
al. DR.. Walsh sustained injuries to
his foot in a runaway at Glasgow
Ky. ..several weeks ago.
Drs. Askenstedt and Clendenin per.
formed the operation, and it was re-
ported last night that DR.. Walsh's
condition was improving.
By action of the recent Methodist
conference at Greenup, KY. DR.
Walsh was appointed to the pastor
ate of Shinkle's chapel at Coving

A Correction.

Last week in a news item we
stated that the Fiscal Court Of Ohio
county would convene in regular
session Tuesday, October 2. We err
red as to time as the court con-
venes the second Tuesday which will
be October 9. We relied for our in
formation on Sec. 1888 Kentucky
Statutes which provides that the
Fiscal court shall hold two regular
terms in each year. commencing on
the first Tuesday in April and Octo-
Der. But the County Court may by
an order Of record fix different
date for the commencement Of said
terms, Provided. that one of said
terms shall be held in October. The
clear inference is that one term shall
be held the first Tuesday in October,
But it did not suit the convenience
of some county judge at some period
in the county's history to hold Fiscal
Court the first Tuesday in October
as the law provides and he changed
lit to the second Tuesday. Hence
our error. 3D.

ALL THE NEWS
While II Is New Is Not Always
Found In the City DailieS,
as Some Suppose.

1t is the general opinion of most
people that daily paper prints all
the news and very much in advance
Of the weeklies, especially country
weekly.
To show that this is not always true
we reprint little news item which
we published in our issue of Septem-
Der Z, and in connection Herewith
reproduce items taken from two Of
Kentucky's leading dailies:

This is only one of the many in
stances wherein the country weekly
has outstripped the city daily.
The thousands who read these
special dispatches in these extensive
ly read publications and had not
seen copy of The REPUBLICAN
of date September Z, were probably
led to believe that the Mayor an
nounced the appointment Of the del
egates September %, whereas he an
nounced their appointment Septem-
Der 6.
News, while it is new, is not always
to be found in the city dailies. 1t is
therefore best to have the reliable
country weekly.

KILLED. HIMSELF
Did Percy Hunt Instead Of Losing
His Life In Wreck as
Reported.

A dispatch from Rockport. KY, to
the Greensboro Inquirer of date
October says:
The remains of Percy Hunt, who
committed suicide last Friday by
drinking four ounces of carbolic acid,
is expected here to-day. the remains
having been greatly delayed in tran
sit by washouts on the railroad.
Immediately upon the arrival of the
corpse it will be transferred to a
steamer and taken to Rochester,
where interment will take place.
Hunt who was about twenty-five
years old. was a mail agent on a
railroad running between Arizona
and California with headquarters in
Los Angeles. Cal.
Last Friday morning he boarded
his train as usual to make his regu-
lar run. He seemed in the best OF
rpirits and was in jolly mood until
the train reached a small town near
Los Angeles. At this point Hunt il
is said, left the train and inquired
for physician. Not being able tc
secure one, he went to a nearby drug
store, where he purchased four
ounce bottle of carbolic acid. Upor
securing the bottle he Immediately
turned it up to his lips and drained
the contents, before the Mortified
druggist could interfere. Coolly, a
if he had only taken a drink of wa
ter, he lay down upon the floor o.
the store and before physicians coult
arrive he died in terrible agony
The body was turned over to an un
dertaker to be prepared for ship
ment. UP to this date no cause ha
been assigned for the rash act
The remains are expected to arriv
over the Illinois Central, from Lo
Angeles to-day. Mr.. H. d. Hunt
the boys father, meets every trail
that reaches Rockport in hopes tina
the remains will arrive on the train
Percy Hunt has a large circle O.
friends who greatly regret to heal
of his untimely end.

A Splendid Record OF Hartford
College.

Last Friday marked the close OF
the first month of school. The pros
poets for an excellent years work
were never brighter. The total en-
rollment in all departments for the
month was 232. This is perhaps the
largest enrolment for September in
the history of the school.
In the teachers reports which fol-
low there are two items which per.
haps should be explained. namely;
per cent. Of attendance on enroll
ment" and per cent. of attendance
on belonging" The first per cent,
named is obtained by dividing the
total number of days attended by
all pupils, by the whole number OF
days that would have been attended
during the month, if every pupil
had entered the first day and missed
no time. The second per cent. !:
ATTAINED by dividing the total num-
of days attended by all pupils, b,
the same number, plus the tota
number Of days pupils were absent
from school before their names were
dropped from the roll. A pupil''
name is dropped after he has beer
absent from school three consecu
tive days. After pupils name ha'
been dropped from the roll. he i

TOBACCO GROWERS
OF Seven States viii Meet at
ClarkSviIle, Tenn.
National Tobacco Growers Asso'
citation Convention Will Try
to Adjust Prices Again.

A large number of leading tobacco
growers from Kentucky, Tennessee.
Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana
and Wisconsin will meet in conven-
ton in GAINESVILLE. Tenn. on October
10 the occasion being the third annual
convention of the National Tobacco
Growers Association, of the Amer
lean Society of Equity. Department
of Tobacco.
The department was organized in
Lynchburg, Va. November 10, 1904,
with an attendance Of fifty delegates
from Kentucky. Nerth Carolina and
Virginia. At that meeting officers
were chosen and plans laid for Wig
orous campaign of education among
the members. At that time the
membership of the association was
approximately. 10000.
The second meeting was held IN
Owensboro.
Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana were
represented ia addition to the state
above named. Practical plans for
a complete organization Of the grow
ers were instituted as were also
plans for making cooperative seals
and for holding crops until a fair
price was offered.
Mr.. c. Hays Taylor. Of Virginia.
with present headquarters with the
National Union of the American So
ciety of Equity in Indianapolis says.
The coming convention means
something to tobacco producers, man
ufactures and consumers, all three.
We confidently expect to perfect our
plans for better system OF market
ing our tobacco system that Will
shorten the route from producer to
consumer; and while it will undoubt-
eddy give the producer more for his
product than he would otherwise re-
ceive, we do not believe it at all
probably that it will make the fin
ished articles cost the consumer
more. On the contrary we think 1t
more than possible that prices to
consumers can be reduced. But at
any rate there is no necessity for
farmers to sell their tobacco for less
than it is worth, determined by a
careful study of the tobacco business
from the field to the consumer. and
our people are determined not to dc
it.
Mr.. Taylor states that the Other
Tobacco Growers Associations are
to be represented by delegates, SC
that a conference may be held to dis
cuss the situation in general. He
considers the most important WORK
is the adoption of a constitution anc
bylaws to govern the association
New officers will also be elected.

Justice Exceeds His Power.

On last Tuesday Saylor Wright, of
Lineville, brought to Corydon Buck
Lane, of that place, who had been
drunk Christmas day, and also fighting,
and had been arrested. He had been
taken before Squire Swan, of Lineville,
and he sentenced him to six months in
the county jail. This was little too
much, as a justice of the peace is not
allowed to sentence in the county jail
for more than thirty days. We presume
that the justice thought that the crime
deserved that much punishment and so
he gave him six months in jail regard
less of what the law says. OF course
this would not do, so the county attor-
ney set him free, but rearrested him
and tried him Thursday afternoon in
order to bind him over to the grand
jury.
Buck Lane is said to be quite a bad
character. He is son of the Lane who
is balloonist, and has made some as.
tensions himself. 1t is reported in
Corydon that he whipped Saylor Wright
before being arrested Corydon Times.
