torpedo boat destroyers by acting

Of naval officers who had distinguish
ed themselves in time Of war. Among
/ those thus honored was Admiral Jas.
E. Jouett Of Civil War fame, and

cord, being with Farragut at Mobile
Bay when he commanded Metacomet,

ship during the battle. He was born

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS FOR
GOVERNOR
The race for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor lies apparently
between Jas. b. McCreary and Ben
Johnson. They will have the race TO
themselves unless another candidate
announces, and an effort is being
made to get another in the field. The
three other men already in the race,
it is said, will withdraw in few days
leaving the field clear for the above
mentioned two men. 1t promises to
become a bitter war between the two
factions which these men represent.
CHILD BURNED TO DEATH
The ten year old son Of Jesse Luns-
ford died a few days ago in Lexington
as a result of burns received while
starting a fire with coal oil. He is a
great, great grandson of Aunt Jenny
Morris, of Sand Gap, whose picture
we published in the Citizen a year
ago, and who held such a wonderful
record, having at that time $40 des-
cendants, of whom 467 were still liv-
ing.
BIG FIRE IN GEORGETOWN
A big fire visited the Georgetown
business district Christmas morning,
when the coal oil stove in the kit
chen in the rear of Mrs. Elizabeth
Hines millinery establishment ex-
ploded, causing a blaze from which
damage estimated at $4,000 resulted.
The Soper building one of the largest
in town was destroyed and the Ranks
and Webb building next door to the
east, and the Isaac Marks building
to the west were flooded with water
causing much damage.

EDUCATIONAL PUBLICATIONS
Two important publications have
been issued by the State Department
Of Education, a Library Bulletin
and a bulletin on school Architect
ure." The Library Bulletin gives an
account of the activities Of the Ken
lucky Library Association, with the
program for Library Day, Kentucky
Teachers Reading Circle and some
data concerning the public library.
The bulletin is full of good sugges-
lions as to methods Of securing school
/ Libraries and the selection OF proper
books. The latter half Of the publ
cation is taken up with list of zone
thousand best books" for school IL
braries. This list will be invaluable,
1t would seem, to the schools OF the
state. The bulletin, school Architec-
ture," is a no less valuable publication.
