Houses Several Aspirants For
Municipal Executive Chair,
and Game Has Started.
0ae Shot Already Taken at As
piration Of Hannah.
TRUE INwARDNEss OF ATTACK

Although Mayor Smith is Just be-
ginning the second year of his four
year term, already political conduct
and official action are beginning to
shape themselves with respect to the
succession. President Ed Hannah
has nursed an ambition to blossom
from the vice-mayoralty into the full
bloom OF executive honors, while the
upper board boasts at least three 9TH
er respective candidates-Alderme
Durrett. Jackey and Potter.
Just now, 1t is as plain as the nose
on ones face, that Alderman Lackeky
is basking in the bright light of the
favor of those in power. which con-
slider themselves very much in esse,
while the glory that was Humans a
few short months ago. is slightly I'M
der cloud.
There was a disposition to pit A.
derman Lackey against Alderman
Hannah for the presidency this time.
but Alderman Lackey, who went up
from the council board to the alder
manic board the first of January.
would not listen to the tempter.
Both have proven good legislators up
to this time, and President Hannah
has dignifiedly resisted all calls for
partisan manipulation OF his office.
That Is enc reason for the unfriendly
attitude Of 1.-The ring toward him.
Whether Alderman Lackey will be Sc
duced by political ambition. or man
age like President Hannah, to pre-
serve an erect attitude in municipal
affairs remains to be seen.
The attack by the ring organ on
President Hannah Sunday was the
first open play to bring him into party
disfavor. For almost two years there
has been no politics in the general
council sexcepts at the electioz1of. offl-,s
GERS. and party lines were isnore6~by--
mutual consent. President Hannah
this course this year, and ex-
posed himself to a partisan attack.
From now on the candidates will
be under the eyes, not only of the
but OF the people, and the
records they make both for political
and public business will be watched
The next two years and half are
bound to be interesting.

Moore. formerly of Hopkins county,
who has been purchasing timber in
Tennessee, found, found a beech tree
bearing the name 20. Boone"
"17S4" and 1880" Il is thought
that Daniel Boone, the famous ex-
plorer and pioneer of Kentucky, pass
ed through the valley where the tree
stands in 1884 and carved his name
and the date. The latter date, 1900,
was evidently made upon his return
en- route to Kentucky from an explor-
ing expedition in Tennessee. The
famous beech stands In a beautiful
valley and is so dense with foliage
that the sun rarely shines through
the leaves. The owner Of the prop
erty on which the tree stands has
been offered a large sum Of money
by various parties for the stump of
the tree bearing the name and date,
but he has refused all offers.
