FLOODS RECEDING
TRAVEL RESUMED.
Much Damage Done to Roads
And Bridges---Great IncOn-
veniance to Farmers.

The high water which for the past
several days, wrought so much in.
convenience to farmers and stock.
men in the low lands, is slowly re.
ceding. Public roads and bridges
have suffered immensely, in fact, il
is almost impossible to make an in.
telligent estimate of the damage
Levees have been cut to pieces by
the current and numberless bridges
have been washed away.
Farmers, besides again suffering
from ungathered crops being sub,
merged were compelled to move
their stock to the highlands, and ir
many instances the homes of those
living in the low lands have beer
flooded and families compelled tc
take refuge in the hills.
The water is sufficiently off the
levees West and North of Hartford
for the most adventurous to cross
them.
While the water lacked few
inches getting as high at many
points as the November rise, it die
very much damage and inconven
fenced the people quite as much.

FISCAL Court T0ELECT
A ROAD SUPERVISOR
To Meet Requirements of Law as
Construed by Court Of
Appeals.

To meet the requirements Of the
law, as construed by the Kentucky
Court Of Appeals, the Fiscal Court
which Is now in session, will elect or
appoint a supervisor Of roads for
the entire county. The party elect
ed will be practical road worker
and will De paid a reasonable salary,
and will pe required to devote his
entire time to experimenting and
working the roads.
There SIRE several applicants for
the place but it is not known who
will be selected. Under the present
iystem, wii;h has been in vogue
probably for a quarter Of a century,
a road and bridge commissioner is
provided for each Magisterial dis
Jrict and eacn Of the seven are paid
on an average of 500. This amount
paid to one man for all his time will
no doubt bring better results. AT
any rate. the law requires that SUI
)ervisor be appointed or that the
County Judge act as such, and any
one familiar with the duties of Coun-
ty Judge will testify that the duties
are onerous without anything addi-
ional.

while fitting a dress for Mrs. Tom
Black, in walked Mrs. Thomas say
ing, we'll, have you heard the news?
Well, asI was coming over here |
saw Mesdames Tweeddell, Bennett
and Bach standing in front of the
Economy Store talking, and | asked
what the trouble was. They said
Cassie Riley had just told them that
she had letter from Mrs. Phil
lips saying Mrs. Wedding and Miss
Minnie Mcintyre said they would tell
her something, but was afraid it
wasn't true and would wait until
they heard more about it and she
wanted to know what it was. Now
Cassie she didn't know what it was,
but her sister. Hettie said that Misses
Carrie and Sophia Werner said they
did hope they would wait week, as
they were going to join, but didn't
guess they would, as Miss Nettie
Rogers said that Mrs. John Wesley
Taylor told her that she heard Mrs.
Judge Wedding say she didn't see
how they could on account of some
not being here, bat they might, as
Mrs. SanGerfur said she thought our
Record Keeper had been notified,
but guessed not or we would have
heard more about it, but that it
wasn't too late yet, as Mrs. Mat
thews and Mrs. Taylor said Miss
Sac Yeiser was just tickled to death
because she was going to get in in
time, and said too, that Mrs. King
said that she was so sorry our ont Of
town members couldn't be here, and
said, also, that it was sure thing,
because Mrs. E. e. Birkhead wrote
her last week while in Louisville
that the K. o. T. M. were going to
entertain the L. 0. T. NJ. and didn'
ask tie ladies to furnish Ii thing.

ANOTHER FARCE
and DISGRACE
Is Trial of Jim Hargis For the
DR.. Cox Murder.
Prosecution Turned Down at Ey-
cry Point BY BeCkham'S
Special Judge.

Jackson, KY, Jan. 8.-The Com
monwealth received many setbacks
to-day in the trial of Judge James
Hargis on the charge af completely
in the murder of DIR. Cox. Just be-
tore the adjournment, Mr.. Byrd, one
of the attorneys for the prosecution.
declared that 1.-THE court has not said
turkey to the Commonwealth once
during the entire day."
The Commonwealth tried this
morning to have the other alleged
conspirators tried before Hargis,
but special Judge Karnes, who was
appointed by Governor Beckham,
refused to allow this. The Com
monwealth's attorney then sprang a
surprise on the defense by asking
that the indictment against Hargis
be quashed, and the matter refer
red to another grand jury. Judge
Karnes over-ruled the motion.
The Commonwealth then asked
that the names Of jurors be drawn
from the wheel, but Judge Karne5
refused to grant this request and
announced his intention Of having u
jury summoned from bystanders,
The defense then moved that the
regular sheriff be not allowed to
summon the jurors, but that a
special elisor be appointed for that
purpose. 1t was here that the storm
broke. Mr.. Byrd spoke for fifteen
minutes, scoring the conduct of af-
fairs in connection with the Breathitt
feuds, and appealing to Judge
Karnes not to allow another stain
on the state judiciary, Ike those
that were placed there by the form
err trials of James Hargis. He said
that the court, not being. acquaint-
ed in Breathitt county would in all
probability, appoint a Hargis man
as elisor, and that done, the rest
would be smooth sailing for the de-
PENDANT. He declared that Hargis
had already arranged with men to
serve on the jury and they were
then in waiting, ready to appear at
a moments notice, and that they
would clear Hargis though he should
go on the stand and confess to hav-
ing killed DIR. Cox.

American Society of Equity in Han
cock county,. brought a load of his
tobacco to Greensboro yesterday,

selling it, but he made. the mistake
of leaving it ovei night, and he will
beanable to sell it this morning.
Judge Birkhead,. at 10 o'clock last
night, granted temporary restrain
ing order, prohibiting him from dis
posing of his tobacco outside of the
AIS. of E.
The plaintiffs in the suit are J. E.
Minnett, Thomas Wright. Calvin
Lamar and A. P. Voyles, constitut-
ing the executive committee of Han
cock county. They allege that
Railey pledged his tobacco to the
association, that he brought por-
ton of it to Greensboro with the in
tention of selling it. that he would
sell it unless restrained and that he
is insolvent so that damages could
not be recovered.
The case is set for hearing on mo-
ton for permanent injunction at
1920 o'clock, January II. j. E.
Minnett, who is President of the So
ciety in Hancock county, followed
Railey to Greensboro and brought

LOVE NE NOW.

If you are ever going to love me,
Love me now while | can know
All the sweet and tender feelings
Which from real affection flow
Love me now while am living,
Do not wait until am gone
And then chisel it in marble
Warm love words on ice cold stone.
If you have, dear, sweet thoughts
about me,
Why not whisper them to me?
Don't you know twould make me hap
py,
And as glad as glad can be?
If you wait till | am sleeping,
Never to waken here again,
There II be walls of earth between us
And couldn't hear you then.
If you knew some one was thirsting
For drop of water sweet,
Would you be so slow to bring it?-
Would you step with laggard feetl
There are tender hearts all round us,
VINO are thirsting for our love;
Why withhold from them what nature
Makes them crave all else abover
| won't need your kind caresses
When the grass grows DER my face
l won't crave for love or kisses
In my last low resting place.
So then if you love me any,
If it's only little bit,
Let me know it now while living
can own and treasure it.

PENTECOSTAL CELEBRATION.
How the Portuguese Observe Whit Sunday
With a Fete.


SAUSALITO, CAL, May 90. i will
try and give you a description of the
'PentecOstal shower that has settled
over this little town for few days.
1t is religious festival by the Portu
gese, and they always celebrate Pente-
cost, or White Sunday. 1t is more
like the 4th of July in Gruetli. Thurs
day the men decorated about 90 head
of cattle and paraded the streets with
them with a small procession. Friday
the cattle were slaughtered and cooked
for a grand feast Sunday. Yesterday
being Sunday, and Pentecost, there
are quite few of us who are trying
to get our hats enlarged, and the drug
stores are doing fine physic business
Hat bands may stretch but mine seems
to be made of steel
Saturday night was the beginning of
the dance 1t wound up this morning.
There were free viands and pitchers of
pure sold Dago Red, and everything
was free. There were four tables
across the hall and each table could
seat very near 100 people, and each tas
sb.,s was SHED three tiiaos, whi sh would
make 1900 people. The HallA is a e
story building and the first floor was
used for dancing and the second for a
mess hall Everyone enjoyed them
selves very much We went to the
Catholic church in the forenoon, and
marched back to the hall after church.
All the little Portuguese girls were
dressed in white and made a glowing
picture as they marched so nicely after
the band and were free when they ar.
rived at the hall.
As L am not Portuguese and Wis
tied their hall, here are the names Of
the little girls who entertained me ant
made me welcome: Rosie Amaral
Henrietta MarsolO, Mary Thomas, Car
rie Rosa, Mary and Julia Amaral Ro
sa and Minnie Mello. They were from
nine to thirteen years old. The presi
dent. Mr. Sylvia, of Sylvia & Petus
was all smiles but he had his hand
full keeping us quiet.
Well, as the "Dago Red, afflicted
my head so badly | will close and G,
down to Mr.. Lawrence's store and ge
a hat-one that | can wear, without
band. ". L. BROWN.
