Close Game.

The game between Princeton and
Marion yesterday was witnessed by a
large and appreciative audience of
Princeton and Marion people.
The game was called at 3 o'clock
and an old time "Rebel Yell" went
up from the large audience, but the
announcement that Wacker, the Gen.
tral League pitcher for Marion, had
failed to show up, was a disappoint-
meut to the entire audience, as a
pitchers battle was expected between
him and the "1nvinciBle' Guy.
OF course, with Marion, shy of
their pride pitcher the players went

into the game considerably handicap
ped, and the Princeton players did
not put the vim into the game that
they fully intended doing. However,
it was an interesting game and high
ly appreciated by the entire audience
of men, women and children.
Some excellent plays were made
on both sides, and many good hits
were registered. The field work of
both teams was excellent aud the
felders we're frequently applauded.
There were many clever people,
both men and women, from Marion
to witness the game. and the very
best of feelings prevailed throughout
the entire game. We are always
delighted to have the good people of
Marion present on any and all oc-
casions pulled of IN Princeton

W. n. Arfack won the blue rib
bon and sold his colt on the ground

The show was a novel and interest
ing sight and each one Of the entries
really deserved prize for each of

sown in bluegrass, which is now
growing beautifully. But in every
case where exposed to violence, rip
rapping has been resorted to. The
company railroad from its collieries
here to the new tIpple is about seven
miles in length and after striking
near the river, runs up the river un-
der the overhanging rock to the new
tipple. The approach to the tipple
is 3, 500 feet long and wide enough
for 9 number Of tracks precluding
any possibility Of block. Besides
this an extra siding has been pro-
vided some half mile in length just
outside the tipple yard limits which
is ample provision for any emergen-
cy. AT the old tipple a temporary
tipple has been completed for the
handling Of the coal from the mines
at Whestbroft to be brought in reg
ular forty ton railroad cars. Since
arrangements have been perfected
with the Illinois Central railroad for
the use Of their road from Wheat
croft via Blackford to Sturgis, thence
over the company tracks to the river
there will be excused for broken runs.
This great company has need Of every
ton they can possibly mine and very
soon the West Kentucky coal trains
on the Illinois Central and its own
road together with the smoke from
her towboats on their way to the
company yards at Paducah, Memphis
and New Orleans, will begin to
show the people Of sturgis and I'm
ion county what this company really
means for Sturgis.
A new engine and boiler house has
been built and the machinery install
ed at colliery b and very soon, coal
will be running over screens in the
new tipple there. The company has
bought and are now using their big
new Z ght engine for hauls over
the |. G. besides having just reciev-
ed one for the mines here. Very
soon cOlliery & will be reOpened and
in less than twelve months all their
works will give employment to 2, OOO

ent at big expense, every dollar
put out leaves something done with
an eye to permanency to show for it.

To TOBACCO GROWERS.
Judge TOWery, Of the County Execu.
utiVe Board Has Something
TO Say.

Perhaps it will be a surprise to the
tobacco growers of Crittenden county
to see IN print an article written by
me in regard to the present growing
crop of tobacco In this county, which
is now included in the Stemming
District Tobacco Association. Hav-
ing the honor of being chosen as a
member Of the executive board from
my county to that body, which met
at Henderson last Saturday, desire
to say to the friends who will have
tobacco to market this year that we
have made a deal with a distinguish
ed gentleman, who lives in the city
of Henderson, who has the reputa-
tion Of being the greatest tobacco
man known to us, to put up all OF
the tobacco which is pooled and will
be pooled in the aforesaid district
this year, at a cheaper rate than has
ever been done since the organiza-
tion began. | am authorized to say
that he will operate factories any
where in said district where they
can be secured at reasonable rates
and enough tobacco to justify the
operation of same. This promise
being made in my presence, GER
tainly pressed the claim for Critten-
den county to be in the rush Dand the
distinguished gentleman referred to
above assured me that we would
have al opportunity to have our to-
bacco handled at Marion, which GER
tainly is the proper place for the
most Of the tobacco grown il Crit
tenden county to be prepared for
market.
The next thing | desire to say to
the public is that after this proposal
was made to me for my county, it
gave me pleasure to assure him that
the citizens of my own beloved coun-
ty seat would welcome his arrival at
any time.
1t is not my aim in this article to
tell whether it is best to pool or not.
can only point you to the record IN
our Stemming District Tobacco Asso-
citation, which shows that we have
twelve million pounds pooled in 1907
which indicates to me that if the to-
bacco growers who follow this meth
cd of marketing their tobacco which
they produced in the best tobacco
district known to man, it needs no
futher argument. With kind words
for all and Ill will toward none, |
remain yours, as ever,

BUILDING Big Triple
Work on The Structure Now Going
on with Large Force
Of Men.

Sturgis, Ky, Sept. AT pic
turesque point just below the noted
old town Of Caseyville, KY, not far
distant from the world renowned An
vii Rock mentioned in the geogra.
phies and IN close proximity to the
supposed vast hidden treasures Of
Duff. the noted robber Of several
generations ago, and three miles a.
bove the mouth Of tradewater river,
the Great West Kentucky Coal COM
psny is erecting on the banks Of the
Ohio river a coal tipple to be one Of
the greatest steel structures between
Pittsburg and New Orleans.
This great mass Of steel and con-
crete will cost little less than 5000,
900 when completed. The founda-
ton work is in the hands Of Mason
Hanger Coleman company Of Rich
man, KY, while steel work Is under
contI-c, to E Hicks * Co. of North
Vernon, Ind. On tn,s immense con-
tract these two we'll known firms
have consolidated and are now trad
ing under the firm name Of the Hang
er-Hick company. This giant con-
struction company have a Aotills
consisting Of fine tow boat, the In
gleside recently bought Of Captain
Hornbrook Of Evansville, one dredge
boat, two large orange peel dredges,
two large barges, one tug boat and
one store boat. The equipment on
the bank consists Of several ingines
for driving piling, pumping and
mixing concrete and last q big saw
mill just below the mouth Of Trade
water. From fifty to one hundred
teams are now and have been for
some time at work on the grading,
which will be raised to a height Of
fifty-seven feet above low water mark
or one foot above the unprecedented
rise Of 1884.
While this is being done the found
alton work is being pushed to the
limit. The first abutment is being
made by driving the best cypress pill
ing in a crescent shaped excavation
sixty-hive feet long, ten feet wide
and five feet deep, with fifty piling
driven to a depth of twenty-five feet
and the five foot filed with concrete.
In addition to this there will be four
mammoth piers to be built IN the
same manner. The first two piers
contain thirty piliug and the last
two pinety each, surrounded with
concrete.
At distance OF 800 feet above
the tipple, five immense breakwaters
will be built, each to be fifty feet
high by twenty-five feet wide, re-
quiring 5000 cubic yards of stone
and 300, 900 feet of lumber. The
object of the breakwaters is to pro-
trect the tipple, towboats and feet
of over 200 coal barges {. ON Ice and
drift and give harbor in dead win
ter. The sand and gravel will be
taken from the bed Of the river by
two large centrifugal pumps of ca
pacity of $50 cubic yards per day
each. This gravel will be barged to
the tipple landing, where 1t is sent
up in cars to the concrete mixer,
where it is mixed as fast as it can be
used. Especially courteous to The

it is then that you will humble your
self to God who will cover all the

Ghost, and his mighty power will
come into you and cleanse your very

that we may know we are able to

to our faithful race to glory.
The inspired speaker continued at
length to ieed his congregation upon
mama which fell direct from the
hollow of the creative hand OF God,
then brought his sermon to a close
with a beautiful description Of heav-
en- where today are gathered host
OF our dear loved ones who we're pre-
pared to share the full blessings and
Joys of heaven through the influence
Of Hurricane csmpmeeting.
The following submit as bits Of
history Of the campmeeting:
Hurricane campmeeting was es-
tablished in the year 1890, and at
that time was in what was known as
the Marion Circuit which embraced
Marion, Hills Chapel, Sloan and
Hurricane.
Preachers salary at that time was
1925 and at present il is $500.
Since the Inauguration of this
campmeeting We are glad to note
the fact that two grand and noble
churches Of God have been organized
in this circuit, via. Tolu and Hebron.
Since the organization Of this
great and good work Of God at old
Hurricane, the original Marion Cir
cult has been divided thereby placing
Hills Chapel on the Shady Grove
circuit and making Marion q station.
The sermons preached during this
campmeeting are in number about
500.
The souls converted and ssnctihed
| feel safe to estimate the number to
exceed 1000.
The following am glad to give
you as list of those who have been
called to the ministrey Of God
through the influence of Hurricane
campmeeting, viz, i. j. Millikan
who today is crowned with the hon
ors Of Presiding Elder, +. S. Moore,
Hodge Murphy, Ben Yates, W. T.
Nation, Will Humphrey, Elisha
Thomas, Uriah Terry, Joseph Stone,
Lemon Threlkeld, John Love, f. }.
Martin, John Haynes and Miss Alice
Griffith to Foreign Missions.
The following ! am now glad to
submit as a noted army Of men who
have been licensed to exhort aud
sing, viz, X. VI. Franks, J. \.
Wheeler, W. B. Yates, X. II. Yates,
T. S. Threlkeld, Robert Lear, Ulie
Threlkeld. Chas. Lear, George Yates
and VIM. Brazle.
During the period of time since
the organization of this csmpmeeting
we are glad TO note that three tracts
of land have been bought, paid for
and decided to the Methodist church
South. And quite a lot of repair
work has been done on Hurricane
church in the way Of roofing and
painting.
am glad to say that the Huru-
cane campmeeting is being recog-
nized by not only those who are pro-
fessed followers of Christ, but also
by many who are not professors Of
religion as the fountain head Of
many blessings to our town and
country.

Man

He comes into this world with
out his consent, and goes out
against his will, and the trip be-
tween the two lis exceedingly
rocky. The rule uf the contraries
is one ofthe importaa. festur-s of
the trip.
If he is poor, he is bad mana
ger; if he is rich,.he is dishonest.
If he needs credit, be can't get
it; if he is prosperous, everyone
wauts to do him a favor.
When be is little. the big girls
kiss him; but when he is grown,
the little girls kiss him.
If he is in politics, it's for pie;
if he is out of politics, you can't
place him, and he's no good for
his country.
If.he is actively religious, he is
a hypocrite; If he takes no inter
est in religion, he is a hardened
sinner.
If he shows affection, he is a
soft specimen; if he seems to care
for no one, be is cold blooded.
If he dies young, there was q
