Big Things Continue To
Come Thick and
Fast.
HOPTOwN is HUMMING.
Foreign Capital Is to Puoh a
Sentimental System
Through Here.

One big thing follows close upon
the heels of another!
There are hot rumors of the big
gest thing Of all, that is right at
hand.
Hopkinsville is to have another
railroad, that will cross the county
from east to west, being part of the
great Cairo and Cumberland Gap
projected fifteen years ago. At that
time the surveys were all made, but
B. A. Neal and others who tried to
finance the road failed. Recently
French capital has been interested
and a prominent Mayfeld capitalist
will be here today, Mr.. Jno, w.
Landrum, to explain the proposition
to our people.
The company asks only the right
kind of treatment, 1t does not
want money, as it is already capital
lied at $12,5OO,0O0.
This road will begin at Cumber-
and Gap connecting with a road
least tothe Atlantic ocean, and will
run in almost a.<bee line westward
through the coal fields of. Bell, Whit
ley and Pulaski counties, the oil fields
of Wayne, the timber.lands'of Gin
ton, Cumberland and Monroe, vir-
gin territory without railroad
thence into the rich farming lands of
Allen, Simpson, Logan, Todd and
Christian counties; it passes through
the iron beds of Trigg and thence
through the fertile farm lands of
the Purchase counties to Cairo,
H., where connection is had with
several great systems and both the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers. There
is not q richer field for railroad de.
velopment in the United States. The
road traverses. the dark tobacco dis
trict from end to end and crosses
five other great railroad systems in
its length of between 500 and 4OC
miles.
&There will be some interesting de-
tails of this great project to give in
our next issue.

POLICE DOINGS.
-Four Arrests By the Police
For as Many Different
Offenses.

George Taylor, colored, was be-
fore City Judge Brasher Saturday
for stealing a suit of clothes. 1t
seems that Taylor, who is OCCASION
ally employed at the Hill House,
took fancy to suit of clothes be-
longing to another negro who works
at tho same place. So strong was
his desire, it is charged, that he
broke open the trunk in when the
clothes were locked up and took
them while the owner was not pres
ent. Taylor was held over to await
action by the grand jury, which will
be selected at the opening of Circuit
Conrt next week.
Three other negroes were also
arrested for different offenses:
Billie Johnson, for breach Of the
peace; Henry Davis, for drunkenness,
and Chas. Brown for fast driving
