First Cars and first Load of Iron
for Kentucky Midland
Reach Central City.

The work of grading for the Ken
lucky Midland r. r. which is to ex-
tend from Central City to Madison
vile is now under way and a large
force of men are at work on the
heavy grade that occurs about five
miles West of Central City. The
force is being increased as rapidly
as possible as it is the purpose of
the compasny to get all the heavy
work out of the way before spring
so that there will be no delay in hur-
rying through the remainder of the
work.
1t is claimed that the mines along
the the right-of-way would be open
and cars running over the line with
in four months. Coal and mineral
rights amounting to $4,000 have
already been secured by the COM
pany and it is probable that more
land will be brought up before the
completion of the road.
A few of the cars for the new road
have been purchase and are now at
Central City. The first car load of
iron has also reached Central City.

GoIdsmith's Snowy Clothes.

Goldsmith was ludicrously fond of
snowy clothes. When he sought to
take orders in Ireland he tried to
dazzle his Bishop by pair of scarlet
brooches.
While studying medicine in Edin-
burough he. wore "rich sky-blue
satin" fine sky-blue shalloon" and
silver hat lace. Before johnson,
Reynolds and Garrick he strutted

coat, and when his reputation had

CENTRAL CITY HUSTLING.
For the Court HouSe---A Petition
Will be Presented to the
County Court in April.

The Commercial Club. says the
Central City Republican, has set the
ball in motion and we must keep it
rolling. A petition will be present
ed to the county court at its next
session asking that the question of
the removal of the county seat be
submitted to the people of the coun-
ty. Central City is the most conve-
nient town to all the people of the
county by reason of its railroad facil-
tiles. Central City is nearer the
center of population than any other
town in the county.
As a matter of convenience, all of
the towns west of Central City, on
the |. C. railroad clear to the Hop
kins county line, will prefer this
place to Greenville. Why enumerate
the advantages of Central City over
the present site.
We want the county seat here.
We are entitled to it by reason of the
fact that we are the most accessible
place in the county to the greatest
number of the people in the county
and the greatest good to the great
est number" should ever be our mot
to and the people of the whole coun-
ty will endorse that principle.

An Easy Way.
tTit-Bitsl

An army examiner once had a very
stupid candidate before him, who
apparently was unable to answer the
simplest question. At last the ex-
aminer lost his temper, and with sar-
castle emphasis, quite lost on the
youth before him queried:
Suppose, sir, that you were a
Captain in command of infantry;
that in your rear was an impossible
Fabyss; that on the other side of you
lowered perpendicular rocks of I'M

One would think the Laxative idea
in a cough syrup should have been
advanced long before it was. 1t
seems the only rational remedy for
Coughs and Colds would be to move
the bowels and cleanse the mucous
membranes of the throat and lungs
at the same time. Kendedy's Laxa-
alive Honey and tar does this. 1t is

RIO GREAT CITY,
SAYS v. c. FOX

to Pan-American Con-
ference.
FOUND SEAPORT SANITARY
Heat in Brazil Not Nearly So Try
ing as 1t Is in Wash
ington.

William {. Fox, who, IN company with
Secretary OF State Root. has been at
tending the third Pan American Confer
ence at Rio De JaneirO, returned TO
Washington this morning after a six
weeks absence, Mr., Fox declares that
he never enjoyed himself more than dur
his stay at Rio. Being fOrewarned that
the city was Overrun with yellow fever
and other deadly maladies, Mr.. Fox de-
clared he had expected upon his arrival
at the South American port 70 immedi-
ately fall a victim 10 one of the incur
able diseases. Instead of arriving at a
veritable pest hole Mr.. Fox says that
ne found one of the most picturesque
little cities in the world one OF the
many features OF Rio Is an avenue rum
ming through the center Of the city
which has been constructed within the
past three years. This thOrOuEhfare.
he declares, is one Of the most beautiful
driveways he has ever seen. II was
built at an expense OF $4,000 600. over
700 houses were demolished 10 make this
avenue possible. and now that IL has
been completed the entire city is swept
by sea brcczes. This fact in Itself Mr.
Fox thinks. should be enough to hanish
the idea that there is yellow fever or
any other malignant disease prevalent.
Mr. Fox has been eighteen DAYS on the
sea. Since his arrival here he says he
has suffered more from the heat than he
did In Rio.
