DR.. George w. Chapman, whose
recent reelection for period
of four years with an increased sal
Paris, Ky, city school is additional
evidence that Big Sandy beats the
world.
Mr.. Chapman being a native OF
Lawrence county is nothing more
than is common, but his push and
ambition have brought to him such
success that Lawrence county may
well be proud OF him. We knew
him as a farmers son. as a laborer
on the public works, as a school
teacher in the public schools OF this
county.
After graduating from the Ma
tional Normal University of Leban'
on, Ohio, with the degrees of b. S

again Lawrence county teacher
after which he received his NJ. A
degree, at Trenton, (Mich.) College

of Doctor OF Philosophy was re
Ceived from the Northern Illinois
College.
Besides his position in the Pari
city schools he is among the ables

Why is 1t that we have such a
home for the county poor house?
Why is it SO that any one OF our
sisters will crawl up in a corner OF
an old deserted log hut and there
die on some old dirty rags rather
than go to the poor house? Why
is it that the secret orders have
homes for their dependents? Is
our county poor house not a fit
place? II not, why not? Yes, why
not! We, whom the Lord has bless
ed with comfortable homes, if He
should dispossess US, would one OF
us be proud to seek home in the
Lawrence county poor house? No,
nc, we would sooner die in the
streets! Why is this SO? The
name poor house sounds gloomy
Why, is 1t not home? Yes, and
that means much. 1t should be
made a,home, not place Of drudg-
cry and horror. Why is this place

these helpless brothers and sisters
of ours in like so many hogs, to be

A Great and Attractive Show.

Louisa was visited by the famous

Shows fer the third time, last Fri
day and despite the fact that it
was hoodoo day for the show men,
the 18th day of the month and FRI
day, the show Jared well and came
out with flying colors
This show is one of the few that
visits the Big Sandy district and
keeps its promise OF being legiti-
mate and clean. Nothing of an off
color is ever seen about the aggre-
cation and the performances are all
OF the first class,
The acts and features for this
season are all new and original and
many we're never before offered in
this section. The show is really as
good and meritorious as any Of the
so-called big ones"
Two young men and two clever
girls presented great tight wire

and most skillhlly executed, this
quartette is billed as the renown-
ed Ceyene Troupe.
The wonderful acting and aero

cially big feature and their marvel
Gus stunts" we're greeted with
salvos of applause at each perform
ance. Trained animals are the

tions of the exhibition. The hors-
es all look good and have every
eyidency of receiving fine care
at the hands of their grooms and
they also Fook as II they have miss
ed very few meals on their trav-
els.
There were no gamblers about
and the whole day passed off most
pleasantly and the local and county
police officers had very little to do
in the arresting line. From here
the show went to Grayson where

TWO ROBBER|ES.
One in Louisa and the Other
at KisG Station.
LoaT { Burke and John Burgess the
Victims Of BuTglaTies. One
CulpTit Caught. ...

When the clothing store Of Loar
aud Burke was properly opened last
Saturday morning 1t was discovered
that 1t had been very improperly
opened some time during the pre-
yious night. A quick survey of the
room showed that the burglars had
carried off quite an amount Of
clothing and other things. The
coat and trousers Of one suit, two
pairs of trousers and a coat Of an
other suit two Stetson hats, shoes,
socks, suspenders and some small
er things were gone. The money
drawer had been opened and its
contents, amounting to between four
and six dollars, were missing. The
Marshal was Immediately informed
and hunt for the thieves began.
There was no tangible clue and it
bwas decided to send for the Hutch
inson blood hounds at Huntington,
The dogs were telegraphed for and
arrived about two p. m. They were
Immediately taken TO the scene Of
the burglary, and they at once
/ took up and followed a scent, and
big crowd followed them. The
hounds took the road towards the
cemetery and made point" or two
but no game was flushed, and af
ter a weary chase of nothing the
hunt was abandoned and the dogs
were sent home. On Tuesday morn
ing Dan Pigg found a new pair oi
pants near his house, and investi
cation showed that they had beeI
stolen from Loar and Burke. On'
leg was turned up at the bottom
and they had evidently been worI
once, had been found to be tot
long and had been thrown away
A store tag had been torn from thu
pants, leaving the string tiet
around a waistband button.

day night, and of course this lat

IMPORTANT EXTENSION.
c. & 0. Considering Building Direct
Connection for Lake Business.

The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway
Co. contemplates building a line Of
so miles from Huntington, W, Va,
across the Ohio River and north
ward to Wellston, Ohio, connecting
there with the Hooking Valley Rail-
road, in which the Chesapeake 4
Ohio recently acquired an interes.
This route would give direct out
let for coal from the Elkhorn re-
gion in Kentuky to the great lakes
at Toledo. Edwin Hawley of New
York, who is now prominent in
Chesapeake and Ohio affairs, says
that nothing definite has yet been
decided as to building of the new
line. In fact, President G. w.
Stevens says that the engineers are
examining various routes for the
desired connection, but none has
been selected.
The Chesapeake and Ohio al
ready has connection with the
Hooking Valley road through the
Kanawha and Michigan via Charles
ton, w. Va, but that is a>ratheI
roundabout route to send Goa,
from the Eastern Kentucky fielu'
/ the lake ports. and It is possible
that, instead of building from Hunt
ington to Wellston, 4 lint nigh
be constructed from Huntington tC
Gallipolis, o., on the Ohio river
which would require the building
of about only 80 miles of new line
The building of this connecting
link would be OF even greater i'm
portance when the Carolina, Clinch
field and Ohio Railway completes
it's northward extension from Dante
Va, to Elkhorn City, connecting
there with the Chesapeake and ohiC

The above verdict. returned by
the Jury in Criminal Court at Hunt
ington, which heard the evidence in
the case of notorious Sam Crabtree,
native Big Sandian, shortly before
last midnight, sounded the knell for
life sentence for Crabtree under
the habitual criminal act unless
the verdict is set aside and a new
trial is granted. The jury was Civ
en-. the case about IL O'Clock, and
verdict of feloniously robbing was
almost instantly agreed upon. The
second ballot resulted in a verdict
of guilty also in the charge Of
having been twice before a prisoner
in the West Virginia penitentiary,
which, together with the verdict OF
guilty on the robbery, made Crab
tree a victim of the habitual Grim
inal act, punishable by life i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary.
Several months ago, during his
Incarceration in the Cabell county
Jail, Crabtree made confession to
U. S. Marshal Tyree to the robbery
of the postoffice at Greenup, and
the United States grand jury at Gov
ington, returned an Indictment
against him on this charge.
While there is little doubt that
+, Crabtree did rob the postoffice al
Greenup, his confession was nc
doubt made through the belief that
when he was indicted by the U. s
grand jury, the federal authorities
/ would take him from the clutches
of the West Virginia authorities
and he would escape prosecution
under the habitual criminal act
This, however did not prove true
as the Federal authorities stated
that they would wait until he haC
completed his sentence in West Vir
ginia before they would take hin
into custody.
When the verdict was returned
last night which meant that tn
, accused would have to spend tn,
rest of his life behind the wall
of the Moundsville penitentiary
) Crabtree did not manifest tn
slightest degree Of nervousness
! but, instead, maintained spiri
/ of indifference. He, on a previou
! occasion had stated that II he wa
t convicted he would give them
| fight in the court room immediate
: ly afterward, and a special guar
. was placed over him in the cour

Roscoe Childers, of the mouth of
Georges Creek or thereabouts is in
bad, as the slang phrase has it,
ard is probably in for some time
He had been working for John F,
Burgess of that locality, for several
months and had got the hang
of the house and ways OF its in
mates. He had also learned that
some of the family had money and
he coveted the lucre until the itch
ing to get hold of 1t became too
strong to be resisted. VIM. Gordon
Burgess, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Burgess had cash amounting to
twelve dollars, and this found its
way to Childers pocket. Miss Bur
CESS, daughter, had pocket book
containing eleven dollars. This she
left in paper box on a table In
her room. Childers became aware
Of this, and straightway 1t went to
keep company with her brothers
cash. Having provided himself with
funds Mr.. Childers set out to see
| the world, He got no further thar
Catlettsburg. He was there over
come with the Essence of From
street and was laid away to rest
Meanwhile William Gordon Burgess
had wired to Catlettsburg asking
that Childers be arrested and held
following his message himself. Up
on his arrival at Catlettsburg HI
found his man under arrest anC
identified him. Childers claimed
that the $3.50 found upon him wa
the product of the sale of his pis
tol. He was brought to Louis
!; Wednesday and arraigned on
charge of robbery. He waived al
: examination and was held in defaul
} Ct bail in the sum of $500 for tria
next August in the Lawrence Cir
, cult Court. Some time before tn
J. robbery Childers had forged tn
name OF Mr.. John Burgess to al
order on local storekeeper for
small amount, This he had parti
, ally redeemed, which. however, doe
not cure the forgery.
