its rolling fields, its springs and

Why distinguish it above all the
farms of all the state?
Simply because here a hun

Must Levy for Schools.

Frankfort, KY, April County
Superintendent C. d. Wells, of Mason
|county, got an opinion from Attorney
General Breathitt to the effect that
a special school tax levy of 10 cents
on the 800 worth of property, en-
acted by the act OF the legislature N
1S89-90, is still valid, and that II he
desires a 20-cent tax levy for school
purposes, all he will have to do will
be to ask the fiscal court for an addi-
tional scent levy. The members of
the fiscal court are understood to be
DESTROYS OF keeping the tax rate as
low upon the people as possible, and
hold that the rate OF 10 cents, which
has been IN effect since 1890. is suffi-
cient. Superintendent Wells wanted
to get some authority upon the mat
ter. and he laid the matter before
Attorney General Breathitt, and then
consulted with The department of
education.

Chances for recovery are good foi
Charles Wilson, As years old, who
tried to kill himself late Saturday
afternoon, by sending bullet
through mis- abdomen. Last night
the physicians performed an oper-
alton, and ascertained that his bowels
were not pierced by the bullet, and
that with good care he would recover
unless complications develop. The
cause of Wilson's shooting himself is
domestic trouble. Wilson's wife has
suit filed for divorce, and this
preyed on his mind. Wilson was in
Norman's store Saturday when he in
jovial manner asked Mr.. Norman

At this he pulled a pistol, and point
