Memorial Service BY Col.
Forbes.

On Saturday May 80, Decoration Day
Edwin Forbes, of Fordsville held men,
orial services in honor of the early
settlers of that community at Ma
cedonia Baptist church ,one mile South
of Rockvale, Breckenridge county, at
10 O'Clock a. m. Rev. Henry Fen
tress, a Baptist minister, opened the
services by few remarks on the So
lemnity of the occasion that had
brought them together and after the
choir had sung hymn and he had
offered up a fervent prayer TO the
DivineRuler for His blessings on these
descendants Of the early settlers of
this community, he gave up the pull
pit to Col. Forbes, who in full uni
form of the war of the rebellion, pre-
faced his address by giving a short
account of the early settlement of
Kentucky by Virginia and North
Carolina settlers, and how they, by
holding line of forts from the Falls
of the Ohio(now Louisville) TO Boones-
boro and the intermediate stations
during the Revolutionary War which
so greatly facilitated the ultimate
success of Washington's army; gave
an account of some of the engage
ments between the settlers and the
Indians at Fort Hardin( now Hardins-
burg and Barnett's Station (now
Hartford and read list of names
of the early settlers of what is now
known as the cutoff in Breckenridge
county and its surrounding community
and also, a list of thoes that served
in Washingtons Continental army
and later in the war of 1912, includ-
ing the names of George Eskridge, Ben
Burch, Sanford Petty, Isaac john
son, and James Wells, of Washington
army and VIM. Fentress, VIM. Blair
Buchanan, Jacob Clemens, John Petite
John Ford, VIM. Keown, VIM. Cook
Horace Roby, Elisha Barker and John
Askins, of Gov. Shelby's Kentucky
troops, in Gen. w. II. Harrison's North
the hardships and dangers in settling
homes and driving back the prowling
bands of discontinued sayages long at
ter peace had been made with them
He said that the early settlers were
a social and religious people; that they
brought from their homes in the old
settlements their English Bibles and
hymn books and until they could es-
tablish churches they held religious
meetings at each others homes and
the site of one of their first churches
is near where this church now is.
Fifty years ago he knew some OF
these early settlers and Though they
were far advanced in years their
minds were unimpaired by age and
they talked pleasantly of their early
settling in what was then wilderness
and how near their journey of life was
over.
Col. Forbes closed his address by adj
monishing the school teachers to
teach the rising generation 10 cher
ish and reverence the memory of these
early settlers who not only hurled
back British oppression and Indian at
rocity but made smooth the path for
generations yet to rise up and warned

The main difference between the
demands for campaign funds publicity
law, as given out by Taft and Bryan
are these: Taft wrote TO the Chair
man of the Committee, which had
the bill in charge and marked the let
ter private, so that IL would not be
heralded over the country as a cheap
bid for votes. About a month later
Bryan sent his telegram TO Taft and
at the same time gave it to the press,
clearly showing the his motives were
not 50 much TO influence Congress for
the law, as 70 influence popular favor
for one w. j. Bryan and 10 put Taft
a hole. Instead he put his foot in
it." and started horse laugh" whith
is still reverbrajing over the coun-
try. Taft had not only sent his APP
peal where it could do the most good
in a modest way but had also declare
himself in a public address for the
law.

RAIDERS revenge
DIXON RACE RIOT
The Negro Who Killed Berryis
Summarily Executed
Take Him Out of Town And
Shoot Him by The
Roadside.

Dixon, KY, May 91.-Final revenge
for the Providence race riot of March
IA. in which two white travelling men
were wounded one OF them fatally and
in which Marshal Smith Childers was
dangerously shot, was paid 'by mask
ed band, which took Jake Mcdowell.
Childers' assailant, from the Jail here
this morning and shoI him to death.
Mcdowell was large yellow negro,
and after the mounted and masked raj
ders had galloped out Of town half a
mile several persons who followed
them heard two shots. They found Nc
Dowell's body flung to one side OF
TIE big road with two bullet wounds
and one stab wound.
All the men of whom there Were
about ten were masked, save the lead
er, and he was not known to the Jail
er. .i
The town was quiet about 2 o'clock
this morning, when the clatter OF
hoofs was heard from the South. the
band rode up TO the Jail and firing
few shots, brought out the Jailer. He
was told that they wanted Jake Nc
Dowell, and after being forced into
submission by the muzzles of several
guns he complied with the request of
the raiders. Mcdowell was trembling
and pleading when he was brought
forth but the raiders said nothing to
him. They merely mounted him on
the back of an extra horse and went
trotting out into the county. Here
the negro was dispatched at once.
Mcdowell shot Marshal Childers who
for a time lay dangerously wounded,
but by the persistent nursing of his
sweetheart, Miss Fannie Gallon, of
Hopkins county who was attending
college at Bowling Green at the time
of the shooting he pulled through.
Though still weak Childers is just able
to be around.
race riot of March IA was the am
bush in which the negroes lay bust out
of Providence. j. b. Berry of Louisville
and ]. b. Parks, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, who were riding along the road
were mistaken by the enraged and
frightened blacks for a descending
mob of white men bent on avenging
the shooting OF Childers and were fired
upon. Berry died in an Evansville
hospital from the effects of his wounds
and Parks is still weak from the bull
lets which entered his body. Mellow
ell admitted having been in the am
busning crowd of negroes and he was
that night hurried ~ the Henderson
Jail for safekeeping.
Quiet was finally restored in Dixon
however, and Mcdowell was brought
back to stand trial. He was in Jail
expecting speedy court test when the
mob took him out this morning.
Mcdowell always admitted the blum
der of the killing of Berry and the
wounding of Parks but he declared
that the beginning of the rioJ-the
wounding OF Childers-was justified.
Mcdowell swore that Childers was
mixed up with yellow girl in the
negro settlement of Providence, and
declared that he would tell an ugly
story on the stand. The only man in
the Jail delivery who spoke remarked
laconically:
Dead niggers tell no tales and kill
no whiTe men"

Hartford is one of the best towns
in Kentucky and improving all the
time. There are now no less than half
a dozen business enterprises point
ed our way which should be
encouraged by our citizens. The
Commercial Club should be reor
ganized at once. There is plenty
OF work for it to do. The new rail-
road will soon be a reality and with it
should come many manufacturing es-
Establishments. However, they should
be invited and encouraged in every
legitimate way.

In another column we print a state
ment of the financial condition Of
Ohio County to January s, OF this year
The present administration has re-
duced the outstanding indebtedness al
most $1,000 each year, noowithstand-
ing some heavy expenses incurred for
bridges and levees. The liabilities,
including the January allowances al
present being about $4,000 This will
be reduced more than half out of this
years collections, without interior
ing with proposed road Improvements,
which are badly needed. Under all the
circumstances this is splendid show
ing for the present Ficsal Court. Ohio
county is one of the largest counties
in the State, and one containing more
streams requiring bridges and more
levees than almost any other. Green
river on the South borders the county
for many miles, while Rough River
with its many tributaries cuts al
most through the center. The over
flows from these streams and tribu-
taries cause enormous expense for road
and bridges. The court is on the
right track at last, and will save many
thousands Of dollars In the future by
building and extending to all parts
of the county, as rapidly as possible,
macadamized, roads. e,,

Every Republican vote can be used
this fall, and may be needed. The
friends of the victorious candidate for
the Presidential nomination should not
engage in trying TO kick lifelong
Republicans out of the party.

Both prospective candidates of the
Republican and Democratic party for
president seem anxious for publicity of
Campaign Contributions. After the
Conventions let both OF them demand
of their respective Committees that
the rule be adhered to as same as if
Congress had passed the law.
