RAILROAD MEETING
Committee Accompanies Officials
On An Inspection Tour.

G. d. Grubbs, H. Clay Mckee
and r. H. Vim returned from
Chicago whittier they went to con-
fer with representatives of the
Cincinnati, Kentucky and Virginia
Railroad Go. relative to the COLI
struction of that road through our
city, extending from Cincinnati
up the Licking valley through
Virginia to the Atlantic coast.
The hope is to get the line via
Paris, North Middletown, Mt.
Sterling to Yale, KY, thence to
Virginia Arrangements were
made for a conference. After
their return there was meeting
of our citizens at the Courthouse
on Thursday, when the committee
reported. The outlook was en-
couraging.
A committee was appointed to
accompany representatives of the
company over the route from this
city to Yale and made engagement
for Monday of this week. At the
appointed time Mr.. H. r. Stone,
president of the road, and his civil
engineer, Mr.. Gerber, were here
and on Monday morning these
gentlemen were accompanied by
r. H. Vim, w. A. DeHaven, G.
G. Chenault, G. ID. Grubbs and
Clay Mckee and son, Trimble, on
an inspection of the route to Yale
on Licking river.
The value to our county and city
of such road will be very great,
giving a competing line to Gin
cinnati and the great beyond, and
opening up a vast territory rich in
timber, mineral and other prod
ucts.
After the feasibility of the line
through our city is demonstrated
we hope that an agreement can be.
made which will result in the
building of the main line through
our city. The assurance has been
given that the road will be built.
The vital question to this county
is, will the road pass through our
city,
The time has come when Mt.
Sterling must bestir herself if she
is to cope with surrounding Ken
lucky towns and preserve her
standing in the business world.
We should extend our facilities for
travel and shipment of freight in
and out. These great benefits are,
usually secured by a liberal coop
Grafton.
Many towns have lost out be-.
cause they haye thought that rail-
roads MUST be constructed through
them or factories located in their
bounds. There are interests and
responsibilities that are mutual
between companies and communi-
ties.
We hope fora favorable issue.
The trip has been made. The

Montgomery County Farmers
Institute.

29th of July, was the third annual
meeting and showed greatly In
creased attendance and interest
among our farmers and even other
business men.
Commissioner Rankin, who was
prevented from attending by a
wreck on the road, did everything
possible, with, the aid of President
Il. j. Bigstaf, to make these meet
incs a success, and besides the reg
ular lecturers for this district, had
several noted special lecturers to
talk on subjects that were especial
ly adapted to this community and
country.
Our best and most progressive
farmers were present to take adj
vantage of these lectures on up-to-
date farming, and those who missed
them were unfortunate indeed.
But by the way the average Ken
lucky farmer % is the slowest of
any business man to inform HIM
self concerning his own business,
and the last to learn and adopt the
scientific changes and improve
ments necessary in these modern
times.
Farmers Institute meetings held
north of the Ohio river are not
only well attended, but it is diff
cult to get buildings large enough
to hold the crowds, so eager are
the farmers to get this free educa-
ton on agriculture.
Although blue grass is our great
resource, there are many things
our farmers do not know about it,
which they could have learned
from the lecture of our old friend,
Mr.. Roudebush.
Every farmer thinks he knows
how to cultivate corn, but the old
fashioned farmer, Mr.. John G..
Blair, told the newer and better
way of cultivating it in his lecture
on The Good Corn Grower" and
at the same time Restoring Fer
tility to Worn Soils"
"Mr. w. T. Stafford, who was
one of the best lecturers present,
and a most fOrceful and interesting
speaker, told why These Insti-
tutes Were Held" showed the i'm
portance of the Organization of
Farmers" and his address on the
Relation of Landlord and Tenant
was revelation in handling such a
difficult subject.
On account of the recent scare OF
the report of Chambers here the
lecture of DIR. David Mckenzie,
one of the greatest veterinary sur
geOns in the United States, was
better than text book on that
subject and was so clear and in
sdch plain language that any farmer
could understand it, and as this
county is the greatest horse county
in the State, every one should have
been interested enough to hear it.
He also lectured on the diseases OF
cattle, sheep and hogs.
AS this is a great cattle-grazina
country, and so many of our PEG.
pie are engaged in buying feeder.
and making out of them export
cattle, by special request of T. j
Bigstaff, Professor GOOde, cattl,
expert, of the Kentucky Expert
ment Station, gave an illustrated
lecture on the ideal beef animal
and how to feed, that no farmer
should have missed hearing.
These lectures are most interest
ing and educational, delivered b.,
experts on their respective sub
jects, and are the creme de Ia crem,
of all their experiences of practica
farmers as well as the combined
results of the Agricultural College,
and Experimental Stations of al
our States and that at Washington
City operated by Uncle Sam,
the biggest and best farmer OF
earth.

Good Musical Company.

A few years ago the coming OF a
good musical company to our city
was a great event and always filled
the house with fine audience. OF
late musical entertainments have not
been so freely patronized here. Why?
Simply because the usual programs
were too classical and cold for the
average auditor In the program to
he given by the Schubert Symphony
Club daa Lady Kuartette on Febru-
ary oath, we have a musical enter
tainment that is highly en1oyablI
from first to last. Our readers will

often that we are offered such least
of musical good things as the Scnu-
berts program contains.

FOOLISH YOUNG MAN.
Gets in Serious Trouble For Raising
Money Order.

A foolish young man by the name
of W. o. Warren, who lived near
Kline, in Bamberg County, has got
ten into serious trouble by his dis
honesty. Warren IS charged with
raising postof!lce money order and
the warrant for his arrest was sworn
out by Postofice Inspector S. w.
Kingsmore. Deputy United States
Marshall A. Fisher, of this city went
for Warren and returned with him
to this city on Tuesday.
The foolish young man admits the
charge and the only excuse offered
was that he did not know why he did
it. The facts in the case are as fol-
lows: On November 2, 1907, Mrs.
A. E. Beverly, Waren's aunt, purchas-
ed a money order at the Bamberg
postofiice for $1.S1 in favor of
Chicago mail order house. The mon
ey order and order for goods were
given to Warren to mail, but before
doing so he changed the order to
1881 ond added several articles for
his own use.
When the package arrived at the
express office it was delivered to War
ren, who removed the articles which
he desired for his own uE and car
ried the balance to his aunt, who was
perfectly ignorant Of the irregular
part of the transaction. The matter
was reported to the postoffice author
tiles by the Chicago house and the
inspector was not long in locating
the guilty party.
Warren was taken before Robert
Lide, Esq, United Staets Commis-
sioner, who bound him over in the
sum of three hundred dollars for
his appearance at the United States
Court. WarreL- is young white
man about twenty-five years Of age.
