OLD TIMES IN FRANKFORT.
No. ".

In the long ago the settlement of
Leestown, near Lock No. 4, was u
place of some prominence as a con-
tiguous suburb to Frankfort, being
connected with it by a rip-rap road
of stone, that led along the river
bank.
It's prominence was, no doub t,
due to the fact that, largely before
the construction of the locks and
dams, there was II ford across the
Kentucky river, connecting the
county road, just at the foot of the
Big Eddy, and, that following the
building of the locks. it was Il
steamboat landing eff marked inn
pOrtance. The old stone house
that formed its central figure, and
that was erected nearly u century
ago, is still standing and used as II
dwelling. 1t was in this house, in
ali obscure corner, the writer of
this article, found, some twenty
odd years ago, printed ordinance
or order, issued by the Trustees of
Frankfort, as they were styled.
prescribing rules for the police gov
ernment of the city. The names of
the Trustees were attached, and
were of residents long since dead.
as are their children. 1t directed
that the watchmen. as the police
were called, should patrol the town
during certain specified hours, and
that ut midnight they should stand
at the street corners, and proclaim,
in u loud voice. ZIP O'Clock, and
all is wellu' No provision was
made as to what should happen if
"all was not we'll" All slaves
were required to be off the streets
and at home by 8 p. IN.
The settlement of Leestown de-
rived its name from II family of
Lees, who moved there and built
the stone house. The residence of
the late Mr.. II. II. Murray was the
property of the Lees, and Col. a.
n. Rennick, for so many years
clerk of the county court, married
IA daughter of Mr.. Lee. Provisions
and other supplies for the forces
under Richard Johnson, who killed
TecuIlseh (as represented by his
statue in the State cemetery, were
brought to Leestown from the in
terror and thence shipped OH flat
boats to points on the Indiana
shore nearest to the troops in their
march against the Indians.
Near Leestown were the resi-

contiguous to the river are pierced
by railroads. With very few eX-
ceptions, there are no mines sufii-
GENTLY near the river, reached by
the slack water of the completed
dams, to provide a supply as load
ing for the barges.
The long double roadway wooden
bridge, that connected North and
South Frankfort, and was replaced
by the present iron structure, was
built in 1917 by Albert G.. McNairy,
of Massachusetts, as contractor,
ard ). VI. Day, as foreman. Our
impression is that the beautiful
arch bridge over the Kentucky
river, at the mouth of Hickman
creek, connecting the Lexington
and Danville turnpikes. was con-
structed by the same parties.
In constructing the bridge here,
"a narrow passageway of timber
spiked together was first laid for
ing was difficult and dangerous for
inexperienced persons. but Col. b.
B. Sayre, conductor of the Sayre
School, was wont to accomplish the
feat by using long balancing pole
to steady himself.
The first railroad bridge was a
suspension bridge, of light calber,
permitting the use only of light
engine in drawing trains across
the heavier engines being halted
on either side of the river. The
demands of traffic required this
bridge to be replaced by n covered
wooden truss bridge, that was
burned by the Confederates i'm 1862
and was succeeded by light iron
bridge, and this in turn 10y the
present strong and substantial
structure.

"hole in the GrOund,' by which

the next section above, at Mack
Inns pork house, by Thos. Flynn;

Black Hawk Sullivan, and the see

BY this new modern line, the old
primitive roadway of stone stills
and flat rails, upon which cars of
rude construction were drawn, first
by horses and later by locomotives
of ancient construction, and which
was completed in 1882 ar 1888, was
superseded and consigned to the
crypt of the dead past.

was cashier of the United States
Bank. or branch of that bank (the
veto of whose charter by Andrew
Jackson produced such national
eXcitement), and of Geo. +. Frazer,
who fought the Indians in the West
as volunteer under Gen. Jim
Lane and Col. Sublett, about 1923.
The full history of Frazier's adj
ventures was published in the
Roundabout about ten years ago.
The internal Improvement en-
braced in the construction of the
first four locks and dams on the
Kentucky river marked an era in
the history of Frankfort.
Railroads had not then invaded
Southern and Central Kentucky,
distributing the goods of the whole
sale merchants of the cities to the
interior towns and villages. Sew
eral lines of steamboats, ran regu-
lalry to Louisville and Cincinnati,
bringing great quantities of mer-
chandise, which were distributed
to Central and Southern kentucky
by the old-fashioned prairie
schOOners.
The city wharf was the scene of
great and constant activity, caused
by the arrival and departure, the
loading and unloading, of the old
Blue Wing, the Dove, the Ken
lucky, the Bob Letcher, the Sea
Gull. the Wren, the New Argo, and
many others. The last-named boat
was sunk whilst commanded by
Capt. Holton, by striking the crib
bling at the entrance TO lock No. /.
The Sea Gull and Bob Letcher had
u famous race on the Kentucky
river, i'm full view of the citizens of
Frankfort.
Lock and dam No. I, was con-
structed by Mr.. Saml Knott, and
all Were completed about the year
1888. Fishing was very good in
those days about the dams and in
the pools. Salmon were caught in
considerable numbers. Old Elisha
McCurdy, II veteran uf the craft,
fastened, with hook and line, to II
100 pound catfish, and was nearly
II whole day landing his prize.
The fish, at times, would sink to
the bottom, and, with IL long pole,
McCurdy would stir it into motion
again.
1t is not probable that the system
of locks and dams on the Kentucky
liver, that are being constructed at
such great expense by tie govern
ment, will be of any material ben
eft to Frankfort, as an avenue of
coal supply, until the mountains

TENTH ANNIVERSARY.
Epworth M E. Church South Cele-
brated Yesterday

The twentieth anniversary of the Ep-
worth Methodist Episcopal Church South
7th and A streets northeast, was celebrated

had hard struggle to build I'D the pres
ent church.
TAe Methodist Episcopal Church South
was formed in 1916, and give years later
a church was opened here. The church
prospered until the opening of the civil
war when 1t closed. After the war a
church was formed in the northern section
of the city. and lately became known as the
Mount Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal
Church South, the only one of its denomina-
ton in the city for a number of years.
The people of the eastern section of the
city felt the necessity of a southern Meth
odist Church in their section and soon after
the organization of a Sunday school, in
Odd Fellows Hall on Sth street, meeting
was held and church instituted, the name
of Grace Mission being adopted.
The first services were conducted by Rev.
j. c. Jones. In 1895 ]. o. Knott succeeded
Mr.. Jones. Later new church was built
after additional ground had been purchased.
The new church was dedicated In January,
1896, by Bishop Wilson, when the member
ship was 1S4. 1t has grown to 400. Rev.
William 8. Hammond succeeded Mr. Knott
in 1889 and the presiding pastor took
charge in 1903.

The greater portion of the juvenile popu-

grounds. Lieut.. Boyle of the third precinct
with a detail of thirty policemen from the

order. prevent accidents and to restore lost
little ones to anxious parents.
The scene presented In the pretty park
was an animated one-a hurly-burly of life
and color There were little children and
big ones; black tots and white tots; rich
and poor: tall and short; fat ones and slim
ones. In fact, every phase of American
juvenility was represented to the number
of about five thousand. The three tree
