ed about forty young people Wednes-
day evening from s to ii in honor of
the fifteenth anniversary of their
daughter, Miss Mary Louise Cray.
This come In the nature of a surprise
to Miss Cray. She was entirely ignor-
ant eff the gathering until most of the
guests had arrived. She had gone home
with Miss Ethel Johnson in the after
noon to spend the night as she suppos-
ed. About O'Clock Miss Julia Carpen-
ter drove to the home of Mr.. Johnson
and asked the young ladies to drive
down town with her, as she wanted to
do little shopping. Miss Cray at first
| refused to go as it was raining very
hard at the time, saying she did not
know why anyone would want to 90
out night like that. The persuasion
was too much for her and she was
compelled TO yield. after Mrs. Johnson
told her to go. She followed little
later. 1t was known in the home that
she was d,wn street and the final prep
arations were made for her reception.
J She refused at first to go into her
, own home, saying the night was bad
! they must hasten back TO Mr.. Johnson's.
However, the girls took her home. AT
the head of the stairway in the hal
leading to the parlor she was met by
her father, who took her by the arm
! saying he wanted to see her a moment
| at the same time opening wide the
| parlOr door. The moment the door was
opened before the young lady could
| realize where she was she found her

little did she dream of the pleasure
awaiting her at home, a nd that every

herself. A most delightful evening was
spent and the NJ. Nj. l. orchestra was
certainly at its best and showed mark
ed Improvement since last we heard it.
The hghtnings flashed, the thunders
roared and the rain fell in torrents
without but in this paradise Of youth
and beauty ali was oblivious to the
elements without. Various amuse-
ments were INDUCED in and refresh
ments were served. The party broke
up about IL O'Clock, all wishing the
dainty little maiden many happy re.
turns of this enjoyable night and the
parents who so thoughtfulIy and yet
secretly prepared this little surprise
long lives to enjoy the society anC

Hon. Edgar Hager Announces for
CONGRESS.

Hon. Edgar B. Hager. of Ashland,
has announced as a candidate for Con-
gress in the Ninth Congressional Dis
trict, subject to the action of the Dem
Ucratic party. We are not in his dis
trict, yet at the same time we are for
him. He is brilliant young lawyer,
loyal, true and devoted Democrat.
His record is clean and an open book.
He is Congressional timber of the
right kind.
Such men as Edgar B. Hager in Con-
gress are the ones that have honor
heaped upon themselves and their con-
stituents. If the Democrats honor him
with the nomination he will surely lead
them to victory.
His many friends in Paris, whom he
made by his geneial manners and con
versational powers during the Knights
Templar Conclave in this city, truly
hope that the Democrats of the Ninth
will give this worthy young man the
nomination, and then afterwards elect
him to Congress.

Indictments Threatened.

A dispatch from Frankfort says the
Scott county grand jury is Investigate
ing by what authority troops were sent
to that county, and several men in the
militia have appeared before the jury
to testify.
Judge Robert Stout, in his instruc-
tons to the jury, said that the Cover
nor had no right to send troops into
any county except on the request of
the County Judge. Sheriff or Circuit
Judge. He directed the grand jury to
investigate whether or not the soldiers
had been sent there for the purpose of
intimidating any citizen, and if they
found that the soldiers were there to
intimidate anybody indictments could
be returned against any State official
who was in the plot to jntimidate.
There is talk here, continues the dis
patch, that an indictment is to be re-
turned against Governor Wilson and
Adjutant General Johnston, charging
conspiracy to intimidate.
The people of that and surrounding
counties are objecting vigorously to
troops beng sent into thier counties
and the growers are up in arms.

LIVE STOCK AND CROP NOTES

The receipts of milk at the Paris
creamery last week aggregated 1887
pounds. or an increase of nearly 1000
pounds over the previous week. A
total of 728 pounds of butter We're
churned. Milk is being received daily.
Gardens are very late, but few if
any of the varieties of vege tables
having as yet been planted. AS an
illutsartion of the backward season
John Morris, large producer of pota-
toes, has yet twenty-siX acres to plant.
Chicago is claimed TO be the larg-
est calf market in the world. During
the year 1907, 4,211, 934 calves were
marketed in that city. UP to Tuesday
of this week 157, 900 calves had been
sold in that market since January l.,
1908.
From what we can gather from
the farmers the fruit crop has so far
escaped the blighting frost. with the
possible exception of cherries. Straw
breries are in fine condition and will
show a good yield, the only thing need
ed is the suns rays for about a week.
The Bourbon hemp crop has practi-
cally been marketed, less than one
hundred acres being in the field yet to
break. The crop aggregated about
1000, 900 pounds for which the farmers
of the county have been paid the hand
some sum of S175,O00. An increased
acreage is being planted in lieu of to-
bacco.
Farmers in Fayette and adjoining
counties of the Blue Grass report that
cattle are dying by the dozens of clover
blOat. the disease is due to the ami
mails eating excessively of white
clover, which is said to be quite luxu-
RANT this spring owing to the cOntinu-
Gus rains. After eating of the clover,
the cattle swell, or become founder
ed" like horses sometimes do after
eating too freely of green corn.
Farmers and landowners who ex-
pect big bluegrass seed crops have
been offering their crops to dealers at
rs cents per bushel with the latter
eluctant to buy. The pooling of the
crop last year by the leading pro-
ducers of the county will, in all proba-
bility, be attempted again this year
as the results obtained are said to be
satisfactory to the members of the
pool.
