Newspaper Enterprise.

A creditable and praisworthy bit OF
journalistic enterprise was pulled off at
the press meet at Middlesboro last
week by the Western Newspaper Union.
Under the personal supervision of Mr..
Radford, its Cincinnati manager, it
printed daily an eight page newspaper
profusely illustrated with the pictures
of the prominent editors and full ac-
count of all its proceedings. 1t was a
first class effort, run by first class
man, and the Kentucky editors certain
ly appreciate the enterprise of the
Western Newspaper Union. 1t was
done at considerable expense, without
any revenue except the plaudits of the
newspaper folks. -Elizabethtown News.

FRANK MEGERLEY
CAUGHT IN THE NIGHT
Takes" Chickens In The Early
Morning And Eats Breakfast
In The Lock Up
HIS FIRST EXPERIENCE IN JAIL

What was sad and unexpected ex-
perience for Frank Megerley
happened Sunday morning about three
o'clock. Lawrence Murray was AVA
kened at his home by a racket in the
Murray chicken lot. Mr. Murray was
ready in minute to investigate mat
tiers and as soon as he was on the
ground he spied Frank taking his choice
of the Murray's White Leghorns. A
glance at Mr.. Murray was sufficient
and Frank, as quick as lightning, ran
as fast as he could to his hut down on
the river bank, but before he reached
home he was overtaken by Chief De-
Haven and Mr.. Murray.
Frank was put in the lookup inn
mediately. This was his first exper-
fence in prison, Notwithstanding, his
son was arrested on the same charge
several years ago. Frank said he did
not know why he took" the. chickens
except it was the call of his appetite.
The wonder of his friends is that he
was caught for Frank is getting old
now and wise enough to keep his
fingers off of fine fowls.
Frank had company in Jail however,
for dope lend was locked up with
him. They are both out today and are
happy.

Not Yet Says Senator Bradley

The editor of the News is In receipt
of letter from Senator Bradley, in
whichh refers to an article recently
published in The News and denies that
,he held any conference in Frankfort
with friends relative to the Republican
nomination for Governor. The informa-
ton upon which the editorial in the
News was based came from a Frank
fort newspaper or Frankfort cores
pondent, we are not sure which, and the
statement of another Frankfort paper
that Lieut.. Governor Cox would be a
candidate for Governor. Senator Brad
ley concludes his letter to the editor of
The News with this very significant
statement-"Up to this time | have
done absolutely nothing so far as the
nomination for Governor is concerned"
CUP to this time" seems to indicate
that the Senator will take hand at a
later time, and when he does the News
predicts it will be an iron hand which
somebody will feel and that it will not
be for the benefit of Judge O'Rear. The
Republicans of Kentucky can no more
nominate candidate for Governor in
Kentucky without consulting Bradley
than they can name United States
District Attorney or any other impor-
tant Federal officer Watch Senator
w. o. at some time take hand in the
Governors race, and then watch the
slate of the other fellows smashed to
pieces. -Etown News

bye to Middlesboro. /, for one, had a

backs on the magic city. 1 had fallen
in love-with the mountainsl They
are beautiful, and that government
pike from Middlesboro to Cumberland
Gap looked like streamer of white
satin ribbon thrown across the giant
hills. The people of Middlesboro are
just as great too; they were the same
every day and their hospitality was
frank and untiring. Indeed, the citi-s
zens of Middlesboro shall never be for
gotten by the Kentucky editors. We
want to thank the mayor, the citizens,
the program and reception committees,
and especially those who opened not
only their hearts and homes, but their
pocket books, to make us have a good
line.

Famous Minstrels Coming

Honest endeavor will Away be crown
ed with success. No doubt this is the
reason why Richards & Pringle's Fa-
nous Georgia Ministries have been so
long before the public. To make this
season better than last, to give the
public better show this year than last
has always been the watchword of the
management, WORKOUT ideas, shabby
wardrobe and questionable acts have
never found place in their program.
These methods may succeed for time
but the American people are too intell-
igent to tolerate it for long. Not
questionable word, act or song can find
place in the performance given by this
company. Heads of families often hest
tate to take their mothers. sisters. wives
or children to a minstrel show for this
reason, but they need have no fear to
take them to a performance given by
this company. The program is abso-
lutely clean and refined. This company
which numbers nearly forty people, will
be seen at Improvement Club hall, Fri

crowds from every section of the United
States are attending and the Tampa
Board of Trade has large committees
at work day and night looking after
their wants. Every feature of the big
celebration IS proving even more sue
cessful than was at first anticipated.
No features have proven more at
tractve than the aeroplane and airship
flights and races, which began Monday.
Some of the fastest flying machines in
world, including the aeroplane in which
Glenn Curtiss, the American aviator,
made his wonderful fights in France,
are on the grounds. Another great
feature is the maneuvers of the cavalry
infantry and artillery companies of the
United States army, which occur on
the celebration grounds each afternoon
and evening. Thousands are also visit
ing the American, Italian, Cuban and
other war vessels in Tampa and Hills
boro bays, which are the first big war
vessels to visit Tampa.
