Political Matters.

Carlisle, KY, Nov. Democrats
all over the Ninth Congressional
district are jubilant since the re-
suit of last Tuesdays election has
shown such great gains for them,
especially in the Republican coun-
ties of the eastern end of the dis
trict where several of them gave
Democratic majorities and elected
Democratic officials. This, the
Democrats say, points to the success
of the Democrats in their determi-
nation to wrest the district from
the grasp OF the Republicans in the
congressional election next fall
The Democracy of the district also
finds great comfort in the fact that
they were able to carry Greenup,
Congressman BENEFITS home coun-
ty, which is one of the strong Re-
publican counties of the district.
The Hon. George F. Wycoff, a
prominent young lawyer of this
city, brilliant young orator and
the Democratic elector for this dis
trict last year, is a candidate for
the Dmocrateic nomination and will
be opposed by the Hon. Edgar B.
Hager, OF Ashland, who was de-
feated by former Congressman j.
N. Kehoe for the nomination last
year. Others who are mentioned as
probable candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination are the Hon. NJ.

ty Attorney Thomas D. Slattery, Of

man does not draw her inspiration

things she needs and must have:
First. your society and companion

third, your love. She doesn't want
to wait until she is dead to read
her virtues on her tombstone, She
wants her husband to tell her how
much he loves her. There are
couples. happy in the eyes OF so
ciety. who In the home are nothing

who in society blossom over with
courtesies to each other, but who In
their own homes are as stolid al

home will allow her to carry the

Following close upon the heels of
the famous Meadows massacre
which occurred in Buchanan county,
w. Va, near the corner of the
three states of Virginia, Kentucky
and West Virginia, few weeks ago,
comes the news of another terrible
crime which was committed in Raj
eigh county, w. Va, only few
miles from Beckley, the county seat.
Major c. w. Hood, aged about 10,
his daughter, an unmarried lady,
about 40, and son, Roy, aged 80,
we're all murdered by some unknown
party or parties and in order to
cover up the crime, the house was
fired and the three bodies we're
cremated.
Bloodhounds we're procured and a
great mob Of Infatuated citizens
have been securing the mountains
in search of the perpetrators of the
terrible deed. Suspicion points to
man who had been a sutton of
the daughter, by the name of Jen-
kins, 1t is stated that the aged
father had objected strenuously to
the attentions of jenkins toward the
daughter and that he had been or
dered to remain away from the
Hood home, and 1t is thought that
the man performed the awful act
through revenge. jenkins has moi
been seen In the community since
the murder was committed and q
man answering his descripitno was
seen running away from the com.
munity. In fact, no one else Seems
to be suspected Of the crime up tC

looking for him, and he will be ar
rested when found.
