POPULAR TOBACCO MAN IN THE
CITY.

Mr.. Charles Hutchinson, some time
of Louisville and Frankfort. but
whose home Is in Augusta, Bracken
county, blew into the Capital, Monday
evening, to witness the inauguration
ceremonies. Mr.. Hutchinson is a
buyer for the Planters Warehouse, Of
Louisville, and is now stationed in
Shelby county, with headquarters in
Bagdad. He is one of the most ac-
complished judges of tobacco in the
State and is such a clever and. jovial
fellow withal, that although as an
independent buyer he has been oper-
ating in forbidden territory, the
might riders" have mercifully spared
him a visit. Mr.. Hutchinson was in
charge Of the rehandling house of the
Planters, which was located on Holmes
street, in this city, in the spring. sum-
mer and fall of 1905, and made numer-
GUS friends here where he became
quite popular.

NO SMALLPOX IN FRANKLIN
COUNTY.

1t was reported on the street, dur
ing the early part of the present week,
that there were several cases of
smallpox in this county, but the re-
port is strongly denied from an au-
thentic source, and probably gained
currency from the fact that, just over
the Woodford line, in the Millville
and Old Crow neighborhoods, there
are ten or twelve cases.
AS these have all been isolated,
however, it is not anticipated that
there will be such an epidemic as
will carry the dreaded disease over
into this county. Should it eventu-
ate, Frankfort and Franglin county
with well equipped eruptive hos
pital, are prepared to meet and over
come the threatened invasion.

IS a MOTHER WORTH LESS THAN
FATHER

Two small children in New Jersey,
Mildred and William Carter, lost their
parents in a wreck, and a jury, sit
ting in Camden, has just awarded the
orphans $4,000 damages, $4,000 for
the loss of their mother and $4,000
for the loss of their father. There
was no insinuation that Mrs. Carter
was not good mother, but, being a
woman, it was assumed that her
value to her children was less than
one-third that of the father.
1t will remembered that another
New Jersey jury, some months ago.
in awarding damages to the parents
of school children killed in railroad
accident, decided that a son was worth
vastly more than daughter.
