81 saw a man play a little fiddle and
another one play a big fiddle" said
the boy.
And don't you remember the cello
player, too, Willie?" suggested the
mother, who accompanied him.

COMPLETE FUSION
In Pennsylvania Between
Democrats and Lincolnites.

Philadelphia Pa, July l1.-Com-
plete fusion between the Lincoln
Republican party and the Demo-
cratic party Of this State was effect
ed yesterday at a reassembled con-
vention of the Lincoln party in this
city. The fusion ticket is as follows:
Governor--Lewis Emery, Jr., In
dependent Republican.
Lieutenant GOVERNOR. S. Plack,
Democrat,
Auditor General VIM. 7. Greasy,
Democrat.
Secretary of Internal Affairs -Jno.
J. Green, Democrat.
On May 81, the Lincoln party,
which was formed in opposition to
the regular Republican organization,
and is very strong in the State, met
and nominated q full State ticket,
with Lewis Emery. Jr., at the head.
Later the Democratic State conven-
ton nominated the Lincoln party
candidate for Governor and named
Democrats for the three remaining
offices. All of the Lincoln party
candidates, except Emery, then
withdrew. The State committee Of
the Lincoln party recommended the
acceptance of the Democratic can
didates and they were yesterday
nominated by reclamation. The
prospects are very bright for the
fusion ticket and the regular Re
publicans are alarmed over the sit
uation that confront them.

away with parade and other features
that have become so established that
the circus would indeed seem sadly
lacking without them.
The only first-class circus that did
not enter the combine this year is
the John Robinson Shows, and the
management states that they will
positively not be led by this associa-
ton of trust builders. They will
not only continue the use of the
parade as feature, but will see that
each year adds some new and at.
tractive novelty for the appreciation
of its host of patrons and admirers
Their action in thus standing out
alone against the combine ought t.
win them many friends, and it is
safe to predict that their appearance
here on Monday, July is, will be
greeted with capacity business al
both the afternoon and night per-
formances.

that the paying to the assessor S40(
or $3.50 is simply paying the officer
twice for the same thing, as the as
SCISSOR draws a salary, and he has nc
right to receive a percentage foi
listing persons that he should have
gotten when he made his assessment.
We are not making war on any
ex-officer. Mr.. Duffy is doing
that. and we are only telling the peo-
pie about it. 1t is not our fight, but
if Mr.. Duffy accomplishes what he
has started out to do, and which he
believes he will do, he will in the
future only have to ask for what he
wants of the people and he will get
it.
While Mr.. Duffy, in his continuous
work for the Democratic party, has
formed tue acquaintance of nearly
every man in the county. it may be
that all do not know anything of his
early life. He came to Kentucky in
1894. He was born in GiImer, W..
Va, where he is at this time visiting
after an absence of 16 years. He is
graduate of two institutions of
learning in his native State as well
as one at Nashville. When he came
to this county he located in the
southern part, where he taught
school for awhile, afterwards accept
ing a place in South Kentucky Col
lege. But teaching was not exactly
to his taste and he renewed the study
of law, which he had taken up be-
fore leaving West Virginia, and in a
short time was admitted to the bar.
His success in his new profession is
too well known for comment. Being
a true-blue Southern Democrat Mr..
Duffy took to politics as naturally as
a duck to water. He has been in
every battle with the dominant party
for years, and last year when he was
named as his party's candidate for
County Attorney he went in to win
and came out of the battle by a small
majority, it is true, but which could
not have been won by anyone who
put less work and tireless energy
into the campaign than he. He won
a great victory, and doubtless higher
honors await him in the future.

LIQUOR QUESTION
Will Probably Be Voted Upon
in Trigg County.

A petition signed by more than a
thousand voters of Trigg, asking
for an election on the liquor ques-
ton has been filed with the County
Judge at Cadiz. The date for the
election is set for Sept. Is and the
election will be held under the
County Unit Bill. The petition will
be acted upon by the August County
Court. There are sixteen precincts
in the county, and at present there
are saloons in only four of them.

TELEPHONE COMPETE
TON.

A gentleman who recently attend
ed the big telephone conve ton had
this to say:
"The Independent telephone con-
veation, held at Chicago the last
week in June, was the greatest tel
ephone meeting ever held in the
United States. Every state in the
union was represented by many
Delegates. A number of bankers
and business men Of all kinds were
present to watch the various steps
taken to make each and every COM
pany stronger, and place each COM
pany in a position to offer subscrib-
ers, not only better local service
for less money. but long distance
service as well. From all reports
the people of Hopkinsville will soon
have the advantage Of two good
telephone companies, whereby they
can enjoy the blessings of talking
out of town without being help up,
just the same as they can ride out
by purchasing tickets from either
railroad or telegraphing by using
either line they desire.
Why should not all of us lend a
helping hand to the Home Company
by patronizing them when we can
do 500"

ONE IN EVERY
Twelve Hundred is Blind,
Says Census Report.

Washington, July 13.-Ahout one
person in every 200 was blind and
one in every $50 was deaf in the
United States in 1900, according to
a special census report prepared by
DR.. A. G. Bell. The total number
of blind in the United States was
81, 763,. of whom 35,645 were totally
blind and 29,118 partially blindI
These figures are the minimum, as
an unknown proportion of the blind
were not located. Of the total blind
1854 were males and 27,7O9 fe-
males. In about 5 per cent. of the
cases of blindness the parents were
cousins. Of the blind over 10 years
of age, 20 per cent. were engaged in
some gainful occupation.
The total number of deaf in the
United States is given as S9,2S7, of
whom 1926 were totally deaf and
81, 1861 partially deaf. Of these
55.501 were able to speak well, 9,417
impe rfectly and the remainder not
at all. Of those at least 10 years Of
age 38.5 per cent. were gainfull y

County Attorney John c.
Duffy Making a
Record.
is A TIRELEss WORKER
Has Filed Suit to Recover
About $4,000 of Coun-
tvs Money.

When the people of Christian
county elected John C. Duffy to the
Office Of County Attorney last year,
though they knew something of his
loyalty to the Democratic party and
his ability as lawyer, they hardly
realized that they had drawn a big
prize in the lottery of politics, and
that they had chosen a man who re-
garded the Office as a sacred trust
and would direct every energy in
watching the county's interests. We
can truly say that Mr.. Duffy is
