"MINNIEVILLE"
New Factor in Breckenridge
County Affairs Little
Town Booming.

"Minnieville, Breckenridge county
Kentucky" while not so old as some Of
her sister towns, nor quite so we'll
known, promises, nevertheless, to be-
come in the near future. an important
factor in the affairs of the county.
Minnieville is only two months old
and is located near Tar Springs. The
town was founded by Mr.. J.C. Merserve
and sons, who are engaged extensively
in the lumber business. Mnnieville
now has three saw mills, employing
about fifty men, one grist mill, two gen
eral stores and several residence. Other
houses are being built to accommodate
those who are moving in.
Mr.. Merserve and his three sons are
firm believers in the old adage that "in
unity there is strength" They are in
vesting considerable capital in the new
enterprises. They say the timber there
abouts is the finest in this section of the
State, both in quality and quantity.
AS yet Minnieville has no postoffiee
but Mr. Merserve is striving to have one
established there shortly.

is S52,5oo. So far $5o,e5o has been
paid into the hands Of Secretary Mott
Ayers. The Assessment, for the Clerk
Of the Court Of Appeals is $4,000. John
B. Chenault has already paid in 81 $50.
Should w. B. O'Connell, the other can
didate. decide not to enter the race, then
John B. Chenault will be required to
pay in 5 $50 more, which, Of course,
he will readily do to get rid Of all op-
position.
The biggest assessment. probably,
against any candidate before the pri-
mary is that against South Trimble,
candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Mr..
Trimble has been required to put up
$1,000, yet in the entire four years of
the term he only draws 81 400 salary,
just $40o more than the entrance fee.
Congressman Trimble. though, seems to
be satisfied with the apportionment, and
paid his assessment without a murmur.
