it is in many respects a remarkable

DISTINGUISHED AND BELOVED
MINISTER DIES.

BY a dispatch from Hopkinsville,
dated January 20, we learn that Rev.
Jno. w. venable pastor of Grace Epis-
copal Church, in that city, had died
that day, aged So years.
Mr.. Venable began his long and
useful life as a minister as Assistant
Rector of Ascension Church, this city,
in 1851, under the Rev. Jno. N. Nor
ton.
After leaving this city he was pas
tor of st. Johns Episcopal Church,
in Versailles, for over twenty years,
From Versailles he went to Hopkins
Vile, as rector of Grace Church, and
SO remained until a short time back,
when he retired, owing to the i1firmi-
ties of age.
Mr.. Venable united with the Odd
Fellows in Covington, in 1914, after
wards removing his membership to
Mckee Lodge, No. So, in Versailles,
where it remained until his death.
For over forty years he was Sovereign
Grand Chaplain of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge of the United States, an
honor that no other Odd Fellow has
ever attained.
We have known Mr.. Venable from
our youth and always found him a
gentle, lovable Christian man, intelli
gent and upright, holding the esteem
of all who ever knew him.
He leaves a second wife and three
children to mourn his death.
The funeral and burial took place
on Thursday, at Hopkinsville.

PROMINENT FARMER DIES.
Mr.. Waller Holiday Lewis Dies Sud-
denly From Heart Disease.

On Thursday morning Mr.. Waller
Holiday Lewis, of Woodlake, this
county, died suddenly of heart dis
ease, aged GO years.
Mr. Lewis was in the city on We'd
nesday, and was in his usual health,
which, however, had not been very
robust for several years, owing to
heart trouble. On the morning of his
dea.h he had arisen as usual and was
about his duties, when the Silver
cord was loosened and the golden
bowl broken"
Mr.. Lewis was the third son of Rev.
Cadwallader Lewis, and was born and
reared in this county, where he has
lived the whole of his upright, useful
and honorable life. He was educated
at the classical school of his grand
father, the late Mr.. John Lewis, OF
Llangollen, afterwards graduating at
Georgetown College, in 1862.
After his graduation, Mr. Lewis be-
came a farmer and resided with his
father until the latter's death. Since
then he and his brother, MI w. J.
Lewis, have been doing business as
armers and breeders of fine horses,
under the firm name of w. ]. & w. H.
Lewis.
Several years ago Mr.. Lewis pur-
chased the farm of Mr.. John H. Fra
Ter, and had made that place his
home since.
Some ten years ago he was married

NIGHT RIDERS AT WORK AGAIN

The "light riders" are becoming
emboldened recently, and are at their
work of destruction in Christian and
adjoining counties.
1t seems that they went to the store
of Mr.. Brown, located on the Fairview
pike, and burned the store and con-
tents and the flames came near burn
ing Mr.. Browns dwelling also. The
loss on the store was something over
the sum of $1,000, which was partially
covered by insurance.
incidentally they left a note Of
warning in Mr. Browns mail box, tell
ing him that if he did not stop talk
ing so much he would have his dwell
ing also burned and otherwise punish
ed. This fire occurred on Monday
night.
On Tuesday night about 80 might
riders" burned the barns of Jesse
Burr, a prominent farmer living near
Adairville, in the edge of Logan
county. The barns contained small
stock of tobacco belonging to Preston
Strickland, a tenant of Burr's, who is
not member of the Dark Tobacco
Assocination.
The loss was some $500, and was
the result of a whole years work by
Strickland.
Another barn on the same place, il
which a big crop of tobacco was
stored, belonging to Mr.. Pink Ward,
who is member of the association,
was not touched.

to Miss Elodie Helm, daughter of the
late Gen. Ben Hardin Helm and wife,
who survives him.
Mr.. Lewis was a devout Christian,
member and deacon of the Provi-
dence Baptist Church, at Woodlake.
He was one of the most earnest and
consistent members of that church,
which will be sadly crippled by his
death
AS a man, brother, a husband and
citizen, Mr.. Lewis measured up to
the very highest standard. He was
universally respected and honored,
by all who knew him, for his integrity
of character and uprightness of life.
The highest encomium that we can
pay him (Which is his duel, is that
'he was an honest man."
He leaves his wife, two brothers
civilian j. and DR.. John A. Lewis),
and one sister miss Mary P. Lewis),
and a large circle of relatives and
friends, scattered throughout the
whole South, who will be saddened
by the death of this good MAJ.
The funeral services will be con-

HIeHwAYMEN VERY BOLD.

Shortly after o'clock, on Tuesday
evening, as Mr.. John Falls was on his
way to the Odd Fellows Lodge, and
when he had reached a point in front
of the First Presbyterian Church, on
Main street, he was attacked by two
highwaymen.
Being very why and athletic he
was holding his own with the men
when one of them struck him with
a slung shot, on the back of the head,
knocking him to his knees. Re

In the dim light, Mr.. Falls fired
at both the men, who again ran, and,
separating, made their escape.
Having exhausted his ammunition
Mr.. Falls could not pursue the men
any further.
He reported the facts to the police,
as soon as he could, and search was
instituted.
Mr.. Falls carried big lump on his
head and was decidedly muddy, as
there was a drizzling rain falling at
the time of the assault.

AMERICAN TUBERCULOSIS Ex
POSITION.

1.-THE American tuberculosis Exhi-
bition, which has just closed in Louis
vile, will be opened in Frankfort, on
Monday, February 3rd, where it is
hoped to impress upon the legislators
and others gathered there from all
over the State the needs and posi-
bilities of prosecuting the Anti-Tuber-
culosis movement in every county OF
the State.
The two weeks stay of this Exhibit
tion in Louisville was marked by the
greatest interest among Louisville
people and every business and social
organization in the city co-operated
to make it a complete success. For
Two weeks there was a daily atten-
dance of three thousand people, and
some of the results have already be-
gun to make themselves shown. The
Louisville Health Department has
taken an active hand il the work. the
Police Department has begun to en-
force the Anti-Spitting Ordnance, and
the street railway company has an
nounced its intention o. Cisinfecting
its cars. Other and more Tar reach
ing effects will surely follow and the
work of the Kentucky Anti-Tuberculo-
sis Association, which has already
caused a slight reduction in the death
date from tuberculosis in Louisville,
has received such impetus as will
guarantee greater progress against
this much dreaded disease which kills
more people than any other ailment;
The makeup of the tuberculosis
Exhibition is very interesting, in that
it consists of photographs and many
models of buildings for the open air
treatment of consumption, and illus
trated lectures are delivered in con-
nection with it every hour during the
day.
1t is being sent, to Frankfort by
the Kentucky Anti-Tuberculosis AS
sociation and the Lexington Anti
Tuberculosis Association which will
share the expenses incurred during its
weeks stay in the Capitol. There
have already been presented before
this session of the Legislature a num-
Der of bills providing for steps to be
taken against tuberculosis, and this
is, no doubt, very opportune time for
anaugurating an educational campaign
in the presence of the legislators. 1t
it a thing much needed in this State,
for very few realize that only two
States-California and Tennessee
surpass Kentucky in the number of
deaths from this disease. One out OF
every seven die from it in Kentucky.
Leaving Frankfort the Exhibition
will go to Lexington after which the
Kentucky Anti-Tuberculosis Associa-
ton expects to have so thoroughly or
ganized the Anti-Tuberculosis fight all
over the State that the very high
death rate which now obtains in Ken
lucky from this disease will be very
greatly reduced"

WORTHY ENTERPRISES
1t Is Now Up to Our Merchants To
Help Us Make Good.

The Business Mems Club of Frank
fort, as we'll as many of our merchants,

lend all the assistance we possibly
can to help make this one of the best

1t has for years been the custom
OF large number of our merchants
to send to out-of-town concerns for
their printing and binding, claiming
that the Offices were unable to
supply their want perhaps this has
been ture, to a certain extent, in the
past. but things have changed con-
siderably during the past few weeks.
The Frankfort Printing Company
which has purchased the Geo. A.
Lewis Publishing House and The
Coyle Press, are now in a position to
do any and all kinds of printing and
binding that has heretofore gone to
the outof-town Offices. We are vain
enough to state that our work is
equal to any done, not excepting
the big plants in the larger cities.
We, guarantee each and every piece
of work that leaves our shop. We are
daily adding new facilities to our al
ready large establishment and we
confidently predict that. in a short
while, we will have tie largest house
of its kind, outside of Louisville. in
the State.
1t is now up to the merchants and
professional men of Frankfort to be
up and dong and help us to reach
this end. BY helping us you will also
help yourselves, as the larger our
business grows the more workmen we
will employ, and you can rest as
sured that SO cents out of every dol
lar we pay to employees will be spent
in Frankfort, and each and every
merchant will be benefited directly
or indirectly.
Your help helps us, and our help
helps you. We extend a cordial in.
vitation to all to visit our plant.
