a Razor.

dashed by him across her left side.

her arms and her forehead IN the
desperate battle between them, one
trying to cut the others heart out

JEALOUS LOVER
SLASHES GIRL

Several stitches were taken and
handages we're applied and She now
has a chance TO recover. though she
will doubtless be manned for life.
Monroe was captured by Constable
J W. shrader IN the rear Of 65S
Mulberry street about noon TUESDAY
and placed in jail to be given hear
ing later by Justice G II. Gordon,
on warrant charging him with
felonious assault.
Jealousy is said to have been the
cause OF the attack. In the after
noon Monroe was with another girl,
but later in the day was seen with
the Cheatam girl in Glen Elk. Upon
their return to her home at late
hour, they quarreled and he then
murderously assaulted her.
Both parties to the bloody affair
are about 90 years OF age, and we're
employed at one OF the hotels.

NEW FRANCHISE FOR LOCAL
PHONE.

We have information that the
City Council is considering the
granting of a new franchise to the
local telephone company. We are
also informed the company's pres
ent franchise will not expire until
August. 1908. If these reports be
correct. believing in the fore
thought that the city should not
tie her hands against the advan-
tages of any Improvements that
may come, we do not. with
what information we have in hand,
see any reason why another fran
chise should be granted during the
life of the present one. We are
living in an age of inventions and
it NAV be some attachment may be
invented by which our present
system may be greatly improved
and to tie ourselves now, hand and
foot. we may be deprived of such
improvements. Our people de-
serve the very best, they pay for
it and should have it. This mat
ter. however, has been assigned to
Councilmen Bourne. Wade and
Sullivan and we feel sure in them
the city's interests will be safely
guarded and that no hardship will
be allotted to the phone company.
We are anxious that liberties be
given to the phone company, that
they be encouraged to give us at
all times, now and in the future,
the very best service an up-to-date
plant can produce, and that for
their services the company may be
enabled to realize a fair remunera-
ton, that the operators and other
employees may be paid according
to their value and that all la
borers be competent to discharge
their duties to the satisfaction of
the company and patrons as well.
This is very serious matter and
we cannot be too cautious in our
decisions and acts.

COMPARISON OF ms AND
OUTS.

The streets of Mt. Sterling are
in deplorable condition. They
were awful under the former adj
ministration and it seems to us are
equally as bad or worse, and that
after pledges had been made that
they would be improved. Tax
payers, you can draw the compar-
ison.
The present administration in
their appendix to statement confess
that the rock they are now using is
no better than the former stone
and intimate the only way to get
away from it is by the use of wood,
brick or asphalt. Will the city
adopt either, and if so, when or
will the citizens who pay the tax
limit be forced to continue to wade
in mud almost shoe-top deep 1! If
there is a remedy why not inaugu-

preliminaries why not get ready 7
