Death in Methodist Church
of Mrs. Mary A.
Lewis.
AGE 70 YEARS.
Before Leaving Home Said
She Had AS Soon Die In
Church AS Anywhere

! A death, the manner of which has
never been known here before, oc-
Cured in the Methodist church last
Monday afternoon just before the
services for the older people had be-
gun
Mrs. Mary A. Lewis, who lived on
North Clay street, left her home
and walked to the Methodist church
against the protest of her daughter,
Mrs. Lucy Finn, who lived in the
home of her mother. Mrs. Lewis was
in the 10th year of her age and was
in delicate health, though able to go
about her home. When she express
ed her desire and intention of going
to the afternoon service her daugh-
ter told her she was not able to walk
so far, but if she would go she would
go with her. Mrs. Lewis replied:
well it makes no difference; | had
as soon die in the church as any
where.
Just after taking a seat, her daugh-
ter by her side, Mr.. ]. o. Cook, who
was near her, noticed the old lady
looking very pale and that she lean
ed suddenly forward, which move
ment caught the eye Of Mrs. Finn,
who called help, saying that her
mother was very i'll. Mr.. Cook ran
to his drug store after restoratives
but they seemed to do no good, the
old lady meantime having been car
ried into the infant class room. DR..
Harmed was soon summoned but his
remedies were unavailing, the aged
lady breathing her last in the House
of Cod ~a
) Mrs. Lewis isisurVived by four
children, Mrs. Lucy Finn and Mrs.
Marah Aughenleck of this city: Mrs.
Ella Cannon, of Bowling Green and
Mr.. Eugene Lewis of Warren county.
Mr.. Mac D. Lewis, who was with j.
H. Anderson & Co. before his death
about five years ago was a son of
the deceased.
Mrs. Lewis was a member of the
Methodist church from her childhood
and was a charitable, deeply pious
woman. She will be greatly missed,
not only by her eevoted children but
by a large circle of friends. Her re
mains were entered in Hopewell.

''When KnighthOod
Was In Flower

The cast of when Knighthood
Was In Flower" with Roselle Knott
in the stellar role as MARY Tudor"
indicates something of the strength
the company lends to the already
beautiful play. Charles Brandon,
the impetuous lover, finds a worthy
exponent in Ernest Hastings. King
Henry the Eighth, bluff and hot
headed, is ably portrayed by Ogden
Stevens. Caskoden, the ever faith
full friend Of Brandon and Princess
Mary, is played by Lioneh Seybolt
The villianous Duke of Buckingham,
who causes all the trouble, but who
is foiled is convincingly interpreted
by Wedgewood Novel; The other
male parts are in equally competent
hands, while Miss Anna A. Day, as
Lady Jane Bolingbroke, Mary's best
friend, more than happily portrays
her part. Claire Colwell, as Mis-
tress Anna Boleyp, and Maude Nor
ton as Mistress Jane Seymour, Sadie
Travers as Queen Catherine, of Eng
land, and Lillian Hayne as Louise de
Valois are all that are required to
complete most able cast Of twenty
five people. At Hollands Opera

CONTRACT LET
FOR BELT LINE
CONTINUED from First Page,

view ~ securing something that
would ultimately do more for the
city than anything else obtainable.
In their negotiations they have had
much to do with prominent railroad
men like j. T. Harahan, I'd Vice
President Of the l. c.; w. j. Hara-
han, 4th V. Pres; T. J. Hudson,
Chief Traffic Manager, and VIM.
Smith, Jr., Asst. Gen. Fit. Agent of
the Southern lines of the system.
Some idea of what is now in the
future for Greater Hopkinsville may
be formed from what the Forbes
Manufacturing Company has already
planned to do, and do it at once.
The Company has bought IL acres of
ground on the proposed belt-line,
fronting on 18th street, running
through to 21st street with Hopper's
East line, bounded by the l.. & N,
on the east. The company will build
on its property an up-to-date band
saw mill and hub and spoke. factory;
also lumber sheds\ into which they
will load direct from the cars all
shipments coming in from the South,
such as yellow pine lumber, flooring,
ceiling, etc. The company's output
of Mogul wagons is to be increased
from 5000 to 10000. This will, of
course, necessitate the more room,
and the company will erect a large
building on their beIt-line property
sufficiently large to meet all require
ments. After moving the machinery
used in the present quarters for
manufacturing wagons to the new
quarters the company will then
commence, probably the manufac-
ture of buggies on large scale, as
we'll as increase the manufacture Of
lawn swings.
The building of road to connect
the |. C. and L. & N. had it's first
conception in the mind of Mr.. James
K. Forbes, now on account of feeble
health, retired from business. In 1904
Mr.. Forbes told Mr.. Wilkinson that
such a road would be not only
profitable investment but of a great
benefit to the people generally.
Then Mr.. Wilkinson began casting
about to find live, enterprising men
who might assist him in securing
outside aid if necessary. to build the
road. Mr.. Bell and Mr.. Anderson
who are known to be among our
most successful merchants, joined
hands with Mr.. Wilkinson, and
while other men slept, they labored
and planned to carry out their
scheme.
1t is gratifying fact, for which all
our citizens should be grateful, that
these gentlemen have made the lead
ing officials of the great l. C. system
friends to Hopkinsville. This alone
should inspire the most pessimistic
with hope for the future of our
thriving city.
And now everything is done but
the shouting. Let's all shout at once.
Mr.. Harahan has signed the contract
everybody else has signed it, and all
there is needed now is for the con-
tractor to go ahead and grade the
road and the Illinois Central has only
to touch the button and the thing
will be done. What glorious start
for 1906. AS Sam Jones says, Let's
everybody say Amenl

SCRIPTS WILL FILED.
Estate to Be Divided Equally at End
Of Thirty Years.

DETROIT, Mich, June 4.-The will of the
late James e. Scripps, publisher of the De-
troit News, was filed for probate today 1t
makes no mention whatever Of the size OF
the estate, the entire control of which IS
left In the hands of Mr.. Scripps' son, Will
liam E. Scripps, and his sons-in-law George
G. Booth and Edgar B. Whitcomb. as trus-
tees. They are to handle the estate for
thirty years, the income to be divided
among Mr.. Scripps' four children. namely,

THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY.
Planting Nearly Finished-Crop Out
look Variable.

Copious showers, (which are reported to
be general throughout Virginia, added
greatly to the prospect OF full crop for
the dark tobacco section. This enables
planters to take down from the barns the
remainder Of the old crop, which had be-
come very dry and could not be gotten to
market. The receipts and sales at Peters
burg increased, with very good prices for
all offered. The Reggie handlers have
been enabled to take down their stock,
which had become very dry and could not
be packed in the casks. Merchants and
warehouse men say they are shipping more
fertilizers than usual and It is said that
as large a crop of tobacco will be planted
as the labor will afford for that purpose
AT Lynchburg the receipts last week were
the heaviest Tor long time, being 113, 100
pounds, but prices continued as for the
past few months. Favorable weather for
planting the first of the week was taken
advantage OF generally in that section
Men, women and children worked plants
all day in the rain. and in some districts
even on Sunday. The planters report very
large proportion of the tobacco crop plant
ed, many of the farmers having planted
their entire crop.
At South Boston practically no leaf to-
bacco was sold last week, farmers being
very busy planting. The long drought, last
Ing nearly the whole month Of May was
cluSu ny CUplOuS showers IOr SGv6ral Gays,
making the season for transplanting a ia
vorable one. About So per cent. of the crop
has been planted, but unless there is an
other rain within a week. many of the
plants will not survive the hot, breezy
weather. Hardly an average crop will be
grown this year unless the weather Is more
favorable than in the past month. The
soil is not In good condition for pro-
ducing, so old planters declare, owing to
the unusual weather conditions
At Richmond the breaks failed to mate
rialize last week. The farmers, who have
from 100000 to 100000 pounds of sun
cured leaf still in the barns, were too busy
setting out plants to go to the market.
However, the warehouse men made some
pretty good sales of private stock In stor-
age. The market was very quiet all of the
week. The receipts of brights continue
light, with the market quiet but firm. The
market is quite active sun-cured with
quotations unchanged and the receipts very
light.
At Durham, N. c., little or no leaf to-
baco is being marketed, but the big manu-
featuring plants are doing considerably
increasing business. the amount of ship
ments weekly reaching colossal proper
tions, and young men trained In the to-
bacco business are being sent frequently to
foreign countries to look after the growing
trade of the American Tobacco Company,
one representative leaving there for the In
terror of China within the past week. The
season for transplanting has been favora-
BILE lately, and probably 80 per cent of the
crop or more has been set out, and from
present indications almost, IL not quite, an
average crop will be grown.
