HAGER
Large and Enthusiastic
Crowd al the Marion Opera House.

Last Friday as per announcement,
the Hon. S. W. Hager, Democratic
candidate for Governor gave the citi-
zens OF Marion aud vicinity, an op
portunity to hear a clear and lucid
exposition OF his tenure in office.
He srrs-ei at ll-.30 from Morganfeld
aud was met by the "Silver Cornet
Band and a committee of citizens
aud escorted TO the Hotel Crittenden
where he dined. Promptly at l
O'Clock he repaired to the Opera
House which had been secured for
the occasion aud was accompanied by
Congressman James and Stanley.
The Opera House was crowded to its
fullest capacity and Mr.. Hager was
gwen a hearty welcome and was in
troduced by County Chairman, W. II.
Clark who in introducing Mr.. Hager,
said, Ladies and Gentlemen, cen
turtles ago in a foreign cline there
was born a beautiful baby boy. On
the account of proclamation that
had been made by the Ruler of the
country, his mother fearful lest the
boys life be taken, hid the boy in the
flags along the banks of a beautiful
stream that coursed its way through
the forest. The daughter of this
Ruler found this boy and adopted
him. This boy was banlshed by this
Ruler and became a herdsman among
the fields, hills and mountains Of
Egypt. While working as herds
man upon the fields of Egypt and
while near mount Moab, he saw the
burning bush and heard the voice Of
his master calling him to govern and
rule over His people. He became the
best as well as the greatest man that
history has ever known and they
called him Moses. Some fifty odd
years ago there was born among the
hills that lie in the shadow of the
mountains of eastern Kentucky, a
beautiful boy. He grew TO manhood
out among the great common people.
One day while laboring in the hills
he heard the voice of the great COM
mon people calling him from his hum
BILE home upon the farm to an office
of trust. He filled this office so well
that he again heard the voice of the
people calling him again. And to-
day he stands before Us as the ac-
knowledged, recognized leader Of the
grand old Democratic party and when
the returns are in from the election
that will be held on the 9th day of
November. he will then be proclaimed
by the voice of the great common
people through their ballots to be the
leader not only Of the Democratic
party but of the great common PEG
pie as we'll. now have the pleas

Somewhere about the close OF the civil

the time was considered quite a preten-
tious structure. although somewhat be-
yond the limits of the business section.

which are soon to be made the feature
OF a dwelling will be eliminated AID

Almost Immediately upon It's compile
ton the store portion was taken as a

Gradually. as the march OF business

and numerous offers for the property

one Of s." per square foot having been
refused during the past two years.
The ground fronts twenty feet and six

CONCRETE BRIDGES
TO REPLACE WOODEN

The county commissioners Of Pueblo
county. Col. have decided to take out
all the wooden bridges In the county
and replace them with .re-enfOrced con-
crete and cement structures. The COM
missioners reached this decision after
an inspection OF all the bridges and
eulverts In the county. They believe
that the new and more substantial
structures can be erected at practically
the same price as was paid for putting
in the wooden bridges. and that they
will not only be better and safer, but
their installation will do away with the
great amount OF repair work that has
been necessary on the structures that
are In service now and which have
been used for a number Of years. All
Of the material. including the iron to be
used for the purpose, will be purchased
in Pueblo.

INCREASING WEALTH
OF SOUTH IS SHOWN

The letting Of the contract for the
building of a s2,5OO.OOO hotel in New Or
leans is striking illustration Of the
enrichment Of the South now under
way. Who would have imagined a few
years ago that, with the splendid St.
Charles and the several other great
New Orleans hotels, there would be
room in that city for a new one to cost
two million and a half more? But
such is the case. The hotel progress
of New Orleans simply points a moral
and adorns the tale of the South's rap
