cided opposition to the Equity Soci-
ETY., which is not particularly strong
in this section. Growers plant as
much of the weed as they choose,
and they conspicuously label it to
matoes, /" cabbage" caulihower"
and the like. The result is that the
association men do not dare salt the
beds, and it may be that one of their
reasons is the result of the following
notice received by the Equity Socie-
ty in this county some days ago:
"As soon as the first bed is sailed
or destroyed the Equity warehouse
goes upin smoke.

Amateur night riders invaded

A part of the soldiers stationed
here were sent west on secret orders
Wednesday evening, departing on
horseback. Their destination is now
known, from the following report
from Murray, sent out Thursday
night:
Citizens, of Murray, Galloway
xeounty, are on guard tonight await
ing the arrival of $50 night riders
reported to be forming at Kirksey,
while thirty-one soldiers, who rode
horseback from Hopkinsville, are
resting from their all. day ride. 1t
is believed that the soldiers arrived
just in time, and it is hoped the Dight
riders will attack, not knowing Of
Aeir presence, but it is not believed
possible.
The soldiers are members of the
second regiment, from Whitesburg
and Middlesboro, under command of
Capt. j. G. Owens, of Middlesboro.
Galloway county has been the
scene of the only tobacco trouble
west of the Tennessee river, and re-
Gently night riders have been more
active in the Kirksey section, the
richest land in the Purchase, than
anywhere else. Barns have been
burned, men whipped and notices
served almost nightly. Early We'd
nesday morning the band called out
and whipped AL Perry, planter re-
siding southeast of Murray. Then
they compelled him to hurry on to
Murray and notify Mike Griffin, OF
Paducah, that if he put up ten
pounds more of tobacco at Murray
they would come after him. He in
structed Perry to tell the night rid
ers to come on-he would put up all
the tobacco he had bought and was
ready for them.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able TO cure in all it's stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being constitutional
disease. requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surface of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing its work. The pro-

Sneak thieves looted the home OF

thieves was seen III the home by mem
Der of the family, but gave plausible
excuse and escaped.
DE Bowers was fined $500 and costs
or six months in Jail for being found
guilty of infdelity. He might have been
sentenced TO the state prison but for the
delicate condition of his wife.
Disregarding the election of George
Appleby as marshal by the fire and po-
lice commission under the new state law
the city council elected John Brown.
The city now has two claimants to the
office and the supreme court will have
to pass on the validity of the law.
William Moen, an eighteen year old
farmer residing near Cambridge, was
brought to this city Saturday nearly
blinded as the result of defective car
fridge in rifle. The boy was out hunt
ing and in firing off the gun the defec-

der into his eyes. His face and left eye
were badly injured and the young man
is now at the Mercy hospital.
This spring the Rock County Sugar
company has broken all records for Sc
curing acreage for their factory for the
coming year. Within the past thirteen
and half days they received contracts
for one thousand and two acres and now
have the grand total of six thousand
eight hundred acres under contract.
This means that three thousand people
will be given work in the different beet
fields for this factory alone, and that the
total run of the factory next fall will be
greater than ever before.
Antoine Woletz, aged 80, tailor. fell
from his shop window Thursday into the
Rock river and was drowned before aid
could reach him. Woletz undoubtedly
came to his death by accident, as the
place had every appearance that the I'M
fortunate man tried to save himself after
he had lost his balance. On the broken
window were clothes that were hanging
near and which Woletz probably grab
bed hold OF at the last second trying to
save himself He had been in the habit
of throwing things out of this window
into the river, and while thus engaged
be undou btedly lost his balance. When
he fell he must have struck his head on
timber, as deep cut was on the fore
head near the eye. But little water was
in the lungs, and the man must have
died mainly from injury and fright. The
accident took place about 6 o'clock. Be
sides nine children by his first wife, the
deceased leaves a second wife and six
step-children.
