EMPLOYS A NOTED SCULPTOR.

Mr.. Frederick b. Tighlman of New
York City. son of the late General
Lloyd Tighlman, a gallant Paducah
soldier who fell during the Civil war.
arrived in the city last night to
visit his old home and to consult the
local order of the Daughters OF the
Confederacy and James Walbert
camp of Confederate Veterans. with
reference to statue TO his distln-
guished father he proposes to erect
in Paducah. Lang park has been de-
cided upon as the site for the statue,
and Mr.. Tighlman visited II today
with president of the park commits
sioners, DR.. ID. G. Murrell, Mr.. b. II.
Scott and other Confederate veterans,
and was very much pleased with It.
The plans for the park have been
drawn with the understanding that
the statue is to be placed in the GEN.
ter and the drawings were shown
Mr. Tighlman today. Work on the
park has been progressing slowly on
account of the difficulty the commits
sioners have had in getting dirt to
properly grade it, but the contrac-
tors promise to have it completed in
two or three weeks.
Last evening Mr.. Tighlman met
with members of the local chapter,
Daughters of the Confederacy, at
Mrs. James Rogers residence. lie
stated regarding the meeting:
I'VE discussed the matter of
erecting a memorial at length, and
reached definite decision. Mr.. Kit
son, one of the best sculptors In the
country, will be given the matter to
work out. He will model in clay for
cast and then have bronze figure
moulded The size will be heroic,
about eight feet high, mounted on
granite base. The base will of
couse correspond in height with tina
figure, the total height from base to
peak being 16 feet.

here, that it will be second to none,
and an object OF which the city can
easily Justly feel proud. How soon IL
will be finished can not be determin-
ed. 1t may be two years. A mechanic
might rush job through, but an art
list working on such a job will never
be satisfied until he has gotten the
very best out of himself"
Mr.. Tighlman is 60 years old. but
does not look 1t. When he came to
Paducah he was but nine years old.
but remembered wildly many points.
He found only a few residents here
he knew in his boyhood, and but few
remaining landmarks. He was sur
prised at the growth and progress of
the city, complimenting the progress
sive spirit in evidence in every locali-
ty he was taken through in his drive

POST CARD FAD
GROWS IN FAVOR

The souvenir post card fad in Pa
ducah is not on the wane by any
means. a fact easily proven in the
sale Of one cent stamps in Paducah,
and the sale of souvenir post cards
by local dealers. During August a
total of 10000 one cent stamps were
sold here Most of them were for
souvenir post cards. and September
bids fair to Guido its predecessor in
one cent stamp sales, judging from
the start made.
