BEAVER DAM.

4 May 24,--Mr. b. f. Gray is still i'm
proving.
J. A. King and v. G. Hooker started
last week to New Mexico, where they
will take up their residence on claims
which they filed last fall. While We
are sorry to give up our good citizens,
yet we hope they may benefit them
selves greatly by the change. We
understand they are both going to
New Mexico more on account Of their
health than any other cause. Both
being considerably advanced in years,
they can scarcely expect to take the
advice of Horace Greedy: Go West,
young man. and grow up with the
country.
Our school closed last week. The
children had highly interesting and
entertaining program, extending over
q period of six evenings. which was
we'll prepared and most entsrtainingly

SOLD HIS BODY
To a Doctor During Life-Grim
Deal of a Kentuckian in
Hard Luck.

San Bernardino, Cal. MAY 24.-David
w. Rock is dead and therefore Dr.. |.
W. Hazelett, a prominent local sur
geon, becomes nossessed of a corpse
that he purchased for $25 fifteen years
ago. Rock was once noted Ken
lucky lawyer. lie was ii graduate of
the Harvard law school, and his futur
was brilliant. Then he became addict
ed to the use of drugs. His fam
lily sent him to California from Louis
vile, hoping that he would be cured
of the habit, being removed from his
old haunts. But he sank lower and
lower, and for fifteen years has been
u well known character in the red
light district of San Bernardino.
Before he reached the bottom of
the ladder he sent to DR. Hazelett and
a.ked to borrow $25. On being told
that he couldn't borrow the money be-
cause he couldn't pay it back, he
made this proposition:
"Will you give me $50 for my
body when Pm dead? will sell it
20 YOU and give you bill of sale"
.Dr. Hazelett agreed, but insisted
on Rock putting into the bill of sale,
which was drawn up in the doctors
office, the provision that he, Or, Haze
lett, should supply Rocks wants as
he lived. This was done, and when
ever, during the last fifteen years,
Rock wanted some money, he went to
d.. Hazlett and got it. He always
lore in mind the fact that his body
was not his own He ioked about beat
ing DrHazelett on his own deal, and
his last act was to call DR.. Hazelett

Tough BOOSTERS and Old Hens Bring
Biz Prices.

Chicago, May 22.-Coupled with the
announcement that the price of flour
is to be increased twenty cents a bar
rel to-day came the discovery that
live hens are selling on South Water
street at the highest price ever paid
in Chicago.
II. the wholesale market live chick
ems are selling at sixteen cents a
pound. Even the toughest old roos-
ters are bringing ten cents a pound,
double the ordinary price.
r The scarcity of chickens, and es-
pecially of hens, is due TO the refus-
al of farmers to ship them to market
owing to the high price Of eggs, which
are now bringing on South Water
street 21h cents dozen, which is
higher than the average at this sea-
son.

Acreage PIans-Next Meet
ing July |.

The A. S. of E. Green River dis
trict met at the court house in Ow-
ensboro Thursday with delegates from
Mclean, Ohio and Daviess counties
present. This was a called meeting
for the purpose of seeing what ac-
ton would be taken in regard to the
acreage proposition.
1t will be remembered that the
other counties agreed to the 10000
hill limit on condition that Daviess
county would pledge so per cent. Of
the crop.
The pledge was not circulated in
Daviess county. but the other coun-
ties have pledged so to % per cent.
and the district agrees to stand by
the pledge regardless of what Daviess
county does, but asks all men who
believe in a square deal" to abide
by this limit.
The motion to hold the next regu-
lar meeting behind closed doors
carried, and the president will COM
ply with it. So let all delegates to
the regular meeting on the first
Thursday in July come with creden-
tials; for this will be a meeting for
business and only accredited dele
gates will be allowed TO attend.

ALLEGED BUMPER
SUED FOR $4,000
Accused of Violating His
Pledge Contract.
SUIT BtGETS MUCH INTEREST
Because of the Nature of 1t
and the Prominence
Of Litlgants.

Elkton, KY, May PAS. Walton
Tsrgy, attorney in Kentucky for the
Planters Protective Association OF
Kentucky Tennessee and Virginia, has
filed suit for that organization of to-
baeco growers in the Circuit Court
here against Robert Lester a prom
in6nt farmer, of Guthrie, for $4,000
damages, alleged to have been sus-
tanned as a result Of Lester, who has
been a member, selling his pledged
tobacco crop of nearly fifty thousand
pounds, outside the association.
At a meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the association held at
Guthrie, the headquarters, Lester APP
reared before them and notified them
of his intention of selling his tobac-
co, which had been pledged. The
hoard passed a resolution providing
that Injunction proceedings be taken
against him. The papers were pre-
pared. but the bond required by law
was not made. Within few days
Lester had hauled his tobacco TO
GAINESVILLE and disposed of it.
he suit will attract much atten-
ton throughout this section of the
I'lack Patch, both on account OF the
legal propositions involved and the
prominence of Lester, who, as stated
in the associations petition, has here
tofure been one of it's most enthusiast
tic and active members. Lester has
retained attorneys 10 fight the case.
The association claims in its pc
tition that in addition to losing its
regular charges of l per cent. through
LISTERS alleged violation of contract
it has. been hampered, through his ac-
ticn, in carrying out its contract with
and selling the tobacco of his fellow
pledgers. Testers answer has not yet
been filed. The case will come up
1T the next term of the Todd Circuit
Court in July.

CAPT. v. 7. ELLIS
FOR COMMANDER
OF Brigade United Con-
federate Veterans.
ELECTION OCCURS may 27
Friends are Urging Him For
the Place in Event Capt.
Stone RetireS.

A movement is on foot among the
various camps Of the Second Ken
lucky Brigade United Confederate
Veterans to elect Capt. w. T. Ellis,
OF Owensboro Commander in place of
Capt. Stone, the present incumbent.
Friends of Capt. Ellis, who are
members of the Brigade, are promot-
ing his candidacy for the position.
His admirers and friends have long
desired to see him in this high Of
flee and will do everything in their
power to place Kim in the highest po-
sition in the organization.
Capt. Ellis has been urged several
tines heretofore to become a candi-
date for commander, but has declin-
ed. 1t is believed, however, that he
will accept this time, and will ac-
cede to the desires of those who
fought during the war between the
States and were wearers of the gray.
1t is thought that Capt. J. w.
stone Will retire WHeH MS pTeseHL
term expires, as he is growing feeble
and would like to- lay aside the du-
ties of this responsible position. He
has made one OF the most able COM
manders the Brigade has ever had,
and has labored for the organization
with unfaltering zeal. His retirement
would be deeply regretted by the
members of the Second Kentucky
Brigade, who idolize him.
Capt. w. T. Ellis is one of the
most prominent ex-Confederates liv-
Ing in Kentucky and was formerly
a member of Congress, being honor
ed by the voters of the Second Com
gressional district several times. He
is an able lawyer and an orator of
more than Statewide reputation.
The election of officers will occur
on the first day of the annual reunion
OF the Second Kentucky Brigade,
which will be in session in Madison
vile, May 27-2S. This will be one
OF the most interesting features Of
the reunion.

COMMENCEMENT
And Closing Exercises of Yves
Kentucky Seminary Were
Most Interesting

Friday evening, 2lst inst, closed a
series of six evenings. The unusual
L. elaborate and diversified program
was rendered without a single hitch,
with not minute of disturbance in
the big audiences. This confirms in
the minds of the general public the
already prevalent opinion that w. K.
s. has had one of the best school
years of its long and successful his
tory. The patrons with one accord are
greatly pleased with the results.
The first evening witnessed an OPP
ening short play, "The Old Maids"
Their quaint costumes, music and i'm
presentations made an excellent begin
ming for the long series of surpris-
es. This was followed by long and
heavy play, THE Night Riders. 1t
made a profound impression in every
part of the big chapel.
Monday following Miss Wood
ward had an evening of satisfactory
results with the intermediate depart
mert. Tuesday evening Miss Austin
with the Preparatory department.
Wednesday evening the Primary de-
partment, Miss Ficlden. Thursday ev-
ening the Music department, Mrs.
Creal. Each OF these were we'll wor-
thy the occasions and the big crowds.
Commencement evening with Mr..
Justus presiding, with the two grad
yates. Misses Blanche f. Russell and
Sophia Z Williams, Mr.. Runyan, Vice
President. and Dr. j. c. Willis, on the
stage, in connection with the colors
and decorations, constituted a pleas
ing and panoramic opening. The ad-
dresses Of the graduates were heard
with interest Oh the themes What
Next" and Waterloo" The literary
address, on "The Making of Life, )"
by Dr. Willis. of Louisville, needs no
comment, as Ohio county so well
knows the distinguished speaker. The
address of the President of Faculty,
Mr.. C. c. Justus, in presenting diplo-
mas was beautiful and conventional,
pleasing alike to the officers of the
institution and to its host Of friends.
DR.. s. ID. Taylor, Secretary of the
Board of Trustees, was heartily cheer
ed when he announced the reelection
OF the entire Faculty for the ensu-
ing year of 1909-1O.

A Pessimist's View of Life.

Did it ever occur to you that a mans life is full of crosses and temptations? He comes into the world without his consent and goes out against his will. and the trip between is exceedingly rocky. The rule of contraries is one of the features of this trip.
 When he is little. the big girls kiss him; when he is big the little girls kiss him. If he is poor he is bad manager; if he is rich he is dishonest; if he needs credit he can't get it; if he is prosperous everyone wants to do him a favor.
 If he is in politics it is for graft ; if he is out of politics, he is no good to his country. If he doesn' t give to charity, he is a stingy cuss if he does. it's for show. If he is actively religious. he is a hypo- crite. and if he takes no interest in religion. he is hardened sinner.
 If he give affection, he is a soft specimen; if he cares for no one. he is cold-blooded. If he dies young, there was a great future for him; if he lives to an old age. he missed his calling.
 If you save your money you're 8 grouch; if you spend it, you're a loafer; if you get it you're graf ter, ana if you don't get it. you're a bum.
 So what the HelPs the usel-Se- lected.

AIRSHIP AT ALBUQUERQUE
President Will be Given an Opportun- ity to Use Airship at Big Fair.

ity to Use Airship at Big Fair.
 Albuquerque. N. M., Aug. 17th. --''I wonder if that thing would carry me" said President Taft in Washington as he watched the Stro- bel airship circling around between the White House and the capital. President Taft will have another chance to have the same wonder during the Twenty-ninth New Mex ico Fair and Resources Exposition Oct. l1--17 when the chief execu- tive and the great aerial craft meet again. Taft has had more or less interest in this airship ever since it carried a message scribbled on a piece of paper from himself, then secretary of war to President Roos- evelt. Considering the altitude and the fact that Taft has an im- perative date with President Diaz of Mexico on October 18th, it is im- probable that he will go up in the airship.
 The Strobel craft is a monster dirigible balloon. a vast spidle shaped gas bag supporting steel and aluminium frame and propelled by a gasoline engine. It has the longest record of prize winnings and sensational ascents known to the aeronautic world. The daily and nightly trips of this great ship of the air over the city of Albu- querque and surrounding country will give the people of New Mexico the chance of lifetime to see what navagation has accomplished.
