OPERATION PERFORMED
Saturday Morning Upon Mrs.
Nick CrOucher.

Drs. Jackson, Sargent and Wood
ard performed a very difficult op-
Grafton Saturday morning upon Mrs.
Nick Croucher for a trouble caused
from an accident over a year ago.
Mrs. Croucher had never been well
since the accident happened and her
condition had become very critical
and the operation was deemed nee
essary by her physicians. 1t was
successful and Mrs. Croucher's con-
dition yesterday wasimproved great
ly and her physicians think she will
soon entirely recover.
Mrs. Croucher is a bride of few
months, who before her marriage
was Miss Bette Johnson, youngest
daughter of City Sexton j. T. John
son, and the many friends of the
family will learn with pleasure of
the success of the operation and
hope that when Mrs. Croucher re-
covers from it she will be erestored to
good health again.

Great March of the Tobac-
co Association Boys
Yesterday.
SPEECHES BY SEVERAL.
Horseback Parade Cheered
BY Many Thousand
People.

Yesterday was a red-letter day
with the Planters Association. They
were here from every section of the
county, and anyone having any doubt
as to the enthusiasm and determina-
tion of the members to perpetuate
their organization must have been
thoroughly convinced that it has
come to stay.
Early in the morning the farm ers
began to come into the city on every
avenue. 1t was evident that the
whole county had responded to the
call and by 9 O'Clock Main street was
thronged with a moving mass of
humanity.
1t has been many year since Hop
kinsville has seen so many men on
horseback. The parade was formed
on South Main street, and preceded
by Lebkeucher's band, marched
down Main street, the head halting
at the court house. When the mar
shall of the day, Judge James S.
Ragsdale, at the head of the column,
reached the court house the rear end
of the procession was so far out on
South Main that it could not be seen.
AS the line of horsemen passed
through the street frequent cheers
went up from from the people on
the sidewalks which were taken up
by the men in the procession.
Several carriages, occupied by
men identified with the association,
and numerous banners were dis
played, different trades were repre-
sented with banners, cards, etc., and
the whole affair was a fitting demon
stration OF the intention of the mem
bers of the tobacco association and
their allies to never again allow their
tobacco to be sold at a price that is
ruinous to every one that cultivateS
it. They all stand pat on that prop
osition and will die in the ditch be-
fore it shall be otherwise.
The crowd in town was estimated
all the way from 1000 to 5000.

considered all the pros and cons he can
not, for the life of him, understand why
apparently sane-minded persons will de-

There are wonder works ad infnitans.
There is the wonder of civic beautihca-
ton. The last link is being put in the
splendid driveway that will stretch along
the eastern shore of the Hudson from
Seventy street to the upper end
of Washington Heights, at Two Hun
dredth street, in straight line matter
of six and one-half miles. A new Belle
vue to take the place of the famous but
now antedated hospital buildings, and to
cost seven millions, is under way. New
school houses spring up by the tens every
year, and millions are spent for them
and their sites. In 1909 eight millions
were SO spent, and this year the sum
total will not be less. Up on Morning
side Heights is being erected cathedral
that will vie in dimensions and grandeur
with any in the old world. 1t will be
the only real cathedral in the United
States; its cost will range somewhere
around seventy-6ve millions, and, great
wonder in this day Of hurry, its builders
do not expect it to be completed for two
or three or more generations.
From the heart of the Catskills,
peopled by the quaint little Dutchmen of
Washington Irving's fancy, the city is
going to draw an additional water sup
ply, at cost to exceed hundred mil
lion dollars. To get to the streams that
are to be tapped the mountains will be
tunneled. The water will be brought un-
der the Hudson and then down to the
city by an aqueduct that will be one of
the longest and costliest that the. world
has ever seen.
And down on the East Side, where
human beings are packed together closer
than elsewhere on this earth, the wonder
of sanitation is being firmly established.
This is being done under the Tenement
House Law, whose provisions insure
sanitary homes to all dwellers in New
York. And the city authorities are max
