COMMERCIAL CLUB
FOR EVERY TOWN
In Kentucky Proposed by
State Chairman.
CAMPAIGN NOW UNDER WAY
Will Strive to Make This
the Banner State of
Whole Union.

Rush C.. Watkins, chairman State
organization committee Louisville
Commercial Club, is vigorously push
ing a plan to make Kentucky the ban
ner State as far as commercial organi-
cations, similar to the one in Louis
Vile, is concerned. The project means
the establishment Of a Commercial
Club in every secondary city in the
State which so far has no organiza-
ton to look after its welfare and boom
its interests. The cities Mr. Watkins
proposes to organize Commercial Clubs
In range in population from 5000 to
1000 inhabitants.
Already Kentucky's commercial Or
CARNATIONS rank high both as re-
CARDS number and Importance. II
the plan which Mr.. Watkins is back
of comes to a successful elimination,
there will hardly be a town of any
Importance in the State which Is
without a commercial organization of
some kind.
AS an organizer, Mr. Watkins is
called an unqualified success by the
members of the Commercial Club.
Already he has communicated with
the towns deficient in so far as
they lack a boosting club, and the
interest being aroused Is becoming
Statewide. Literature on what a
commercial club is and how to organ
lie such institutions is being sent over
the State in response to inquiries for
information on such matters. Mr..
Watkins says the benefits to the CT
ties, the State and Louisville will be
inestimable.
When the interest has been aroused
in a sufficient degree Mr.. Watkins and
band of trained organizers will hold
meetings in the various cities and in
itiate the townspeOple into the mys-
teries of commercial clubism. As
now projected all the clubs will be
closely affiliated and work in close
union and harmony. Towns without
commercial organizations are: Paris,
Dayton, Bellevue Franklin, Russell
Vile, Fulton, Pineville, Stamford, VIII
liamsburg, Latonia, Bardwell, Clinton,
Carlisle, Campbellsville, Providence,
Columbus, Vanceburg, London, Red
ash, Falmouth, Elkton, Mt Washing
ton, Midway, Springfield, Owensville.

said to be an attack he made few
days ago on Joseph Smith, a grocer,
whom he accused of having insulted
his daughter.
The town was completely in possess
sion Of the raiders for three hours.
The Sheriff and City Marshal were
warned that it would be best for them
to stay in, and both firmly concurred
in that view. More than a thousand
shots were fired, but fortunately no.
body was injured.

Another one OF those pleasant So

very popular In Hartford the present
winter was the progressive euchre

cherries, and cake. 1t was indeed
delightful refreshment Just before

CIRCUIT COURT
A NEW SCHEDULE
Prepared forThis, the Sixth
judicial District.
BETTER THAN PRESENT SYSTEM
wiz be Sent to Frankfort
and Legislature Asked
to Authorize II.

A new schedule of courts for this
judicial district has been prepared
by Jas. r. Skillman, of the Owens
boro bar, and it will be introduced
into the legislature in the next few
days. 1t Is claimed that the bill, If
1t becomes a law, will afford many ad-
vantages over the present schedule.
One advantage is that there will be
a vacation for the court officials from
the middle of July to the first Of
September. 1t will also avoid having
any term of court during the week of
the annual election. The first civil
term will come in February, which
will afford prompt trial for suits
growing out of failure of persons to
comply with contracts maturing the
first of the year.
Mr.. Skillman has sent q draft of
the bill to all senators and repre-
sentatives in the district, and the bill
will be introduced in the senate by
Senator w. r. Owen of the district
in which Hancock is located, and in
the house by the Hon. H. K Cole Of
the Greensboro district.
The new schedule embraced in the
bill follows:
Daviess county.-At Greensboro six
terms, beginning first Monday In
January, twelve days; fourth Monday
in February, thirty days; fourth
Monday in May, twelve days; first
Monday in September, twenty-four
days; first Monday in November,
twelve days; first Monday in Decem-
Der, twenty-four days.
Mclean county. AT Calhoon, three
terms: Third Monday in January,
twelve days; second Monday in May,
twelve days; first Monday in October,

twelve days; second Monday in June,
eighteen days; third Monday in Octo-
Der, twelve days.
Hancock county-At Hawesville,
three terms: First Monday in July,
twelve days; third Monday in Novem-
Der, twelve days.
The schedule now in force is as
follows:
Daviess county Third Monday in
January, six weeks; second Monday
in April, three weeks( criminaD first
Monday In June. six weeks; third
Monday In August, three weeks (crim-
inal; first Monday in October, six
weeks; second Monday in December,
three weeks (criminaD.
Terms being in Mclean county on
the first Monday in January and
May, and the third Monday in Sep
tember, in Ohio. county. ON the first
Monday in March and August, and
the third Monday in May and Novem-
Der; in Hancock county, on the fourth

THE BOAT WE THREE"
Now SplendidIy Equipped..-Ad-
vantage for Hartford
Business Men.

The boat We Three, which plies
Rough, Green and Ohio rivers be-
tween Hartford and Evansville, was
somewhat delayed on her last trip
up, on account Of the ice, but left
Monday on her regular trip to the
Indiana city. On account of rising
waters, it Is not thought she will
again be delayed by freeze.
This boat has lately been equipped
In a splendid manner for the trade.
A fine new fifty-horse-power gasoline
engine has been installed at an ex-
pense of $1,000, and other improve
ments made. This enables her to make
better speed and not stand back on &C
count of a big load. With her barge
attachment she is now able to handle
all kinds of freight and also accom-
modate passengers. She leaves Hart
ford every Monday morning and re-
turning reaches here on Friday after
noon. She has an accommodating and
reliable set of officers and managers,
composed of Capt. w. NJ. Forman and
sons, George and w. NJ. Forman,
Jr.,-"We Three" They are men Of
business and experience.
1t is perhaps within the memory of
most people of this section of coun-
try when every man who ran for
Congress in this district was per-
force compelled to include in his plat
form the purpose to have a lock and
dam put in Rough river and the
stream thus put in order for nayiga-
ton. This plan finally came to pass,
and several boats entered the trade,
but none have stayed so long nor rem
dered the service which the We Three
has given the people of Hartford and
along the route. 1t behooves the bus
mess men of Hartford especially
to stand by this boat and give it their
traffic when feasible. 1t speaks well
for town for the outside world to
know that ii possesses both river and
railroad accommodations. Like any
other business proposition, the We
Three must be adequately supported,
in order to stay in the trade. The
Forman people, at large expense,
have put themselves in a position to
hold up their end of the proposition,
and they only ask for that support
which will enable them to continue
carrying on the business. It's a pub
lie enterprise The boat is very pop
ular and is commanding a nice trade.
A weak stomach means weak stom-
ach nerves, always. And this Is also
true of the Heart and Kidneys. It's
pity that sick ones continue to
drug the stomach or stimulate the
heart and kidneys. The weak nerves,
not the organs themselves, need this
help. This explains why DR.. Shops
Restorative has, and is promptly
helping So many sick ones. 1t goes
direct to the cause of these diseases.
Test this vital truth, and see All
dealers. m

Road Commissioners Reluctantly Ae-
knowledges that Automobile
Is some Use

Colonel Frederick Gilkyson, Of Trenton,
making his annual report as State Com
missioner of Highways, tells Governor Fort
that there is some good in the automobile
after all. In damaging the highways OF
the State, the automobiles have made it
necessary for the department to find new
methods of construction and repair work,
aud in this way the standard Of excellence
has been raised.
Colonel Gilkyson reports that while road
building has been greatly advanced during
the past few years is has not yet attained
perfection. Experiments are being made,
however, that give promise Of producing a
new material that will make model road
surface.
In recommending that greater attention
should be paid to road repairs the commits
soner insists that when a road is surfaced
it must be sacrificed, all foreign surfaces
removed, and when stone is put on it be
bound with oompesent binder and rollees >
He also wants counties TO apportion sec
tions Of roads to repairmen, have material
for repairs constantly on hand, and quickly
repair all cuts and damages. He recem-
mends the railroad section style Of work,
with prizes to the men haying their sections
in the best order
The Commissioner, to get greater uni
formity in repairs, wants the automobile
act amended so that $4,000 may be set aside
each year for two travelling supervisors
whose du'y will be to see that the work of
the State is done correctly at all times. The
Commissioner also wants automobile law
amended so that the cities can not claim
any of the automobile moneys for repairs.
