sohn's opera, Pandora" and the Even
| ing Bund, of that city, pays her this high
compliment: "Among the soloists, with
out doubt, our own singer, Mrs. Ethel

this singer has grown. Now it can be
said without exaggeration that one seldom
has opportunity to hear voice OF this
unique mezzo soprano tone. There lies
most peculiar charm in her middle reg
ister, which appears like soft silver gilt
tering. Furthermore, Mrs. Hugh sings
with the highest appreciation and genuine
musical expression of the music she in

Among the many letters that we have

Phillippi, Judge Of the United States Dis
trict Court for the northern district Of
West Virginia. We take the liberty OF
publishing the following extract 81 can
not refrain from congratulating you and
the good men and women of Jefferson
county that the church, home, law, order,
morality, and all that makes for Godli-
ness and good government and good Cit
izenship, have prevailed in dear old JET
ferson against the saloon" 1t might not
be out of place to say that Judge Dayton
himself is entitled to no small share in
this victory, for his sledge-hammer blows
against the saloon have done much to
make enlightened public sentiment in
this section Of the State.

The Sick.

the many friends of Mr.. w. S.
Ferguson will be glad to learn that
after fourteen weeks confinement in
st. Elizabeth's hospital, Covington,
the result of an operation for appen-
dicitis, during which time he was
several times in critical condition, is
now able to sit up, attend to his COR
respondence and walk about the room.
However, it will yet be some weeks
before he is able to leave the hospital.
Mr.. T. B. Walker remains seriously
ill at his home on Richmond avenue
and very little change for the better is
noted in his condition. However, Mr..
Walkers condition is not so serious as
has been reported, and while his friends
are somewhat apprehensive, yet they
hope for his recovery.
The recovery of Mrs. Luther Gibbs
from serious operation which she re-
Gently underwent at her home on the
Kirksville pike is progressing slowly.
She is able to take some nourishment,
and it is thought her entire restoration
to good health is assured.
The many friends of Mrs. R. H.
Batson are glad to see her at home
again after having an operation per-
formed for appendicitis at hospital in
Louisville. She still has her nurse
with her but has about recovered.

Another Garrard County Man Making
Good.

The following complimentary article
from the Colorado Herald Telegraph
refers to former Garrard county
man. w. K. Argo was born and rear
ed near Lowell in this county and was
son of Mr.. and Mrs. R. M. Argo, the
latter being nephew of General Ken
nedy. Both of Mr.. Argos parents
were deaf and dumb, becoming so
when they were about ten years of age
as the result of scarlet fever Early
in life Mr.. w. K. Argo became an in
structor of the deaf and dumb, for a
long while being connected with the
school in Danville KY. His health
failed and he was compelled to seek
another climate, he went to Colorado
where he became identified with the
deaf and dumb schools of that state,
with what success the following article
will bear evidence.
"a feature of the commencement
exercises of Colorado College was the
comforting of degrees on w. X. Argo,
and his son, Robert G. Argo, the same
morning. Robert Argo was a member
of the graduating class and received
the degree of bachelor of arts a few
minutes before his father was given
the degreee of doctor of law. Robert
Argo, who graduated with honor, will
go to Harvard Law School next fall.
I'm comforting the degree of doctor
of laws on DR.. Argo, President Slo-
cum said that the title was in rec
ognition of his great work in behalf of
the deaf and blind of the nation.
"At the High School, William C.
Argo, younger son, also graduated
with high honors, receiving first prize
in American history in class of seven
ty students and by his high average in
his other studies winning a scholarship
in Chicago University"

MIR. John M. faTa.

1t was not until he was solicited by
a signed petition containing the names
of one hundred of the leading demo-
Gratis of the county, that John M Farra
permitted his friends to announce his
candidacy for the democratic nomination
to represent Garrard county in the
next Legislature.
Altho having been a consistent dem
ocrat all his life, and supporting ac-
lively every nominee of his party since
he became a voter, he has never
thought of being candidate for office
before, though being often urged.
He would not have been in this race
but his friends thought that the NOM
ination was not desired by any one,
and looking for man who could fill
the office with credit and ability sought
Mr.. Farra and induced him to be a
candidate. He is sober, scrupulously
honest, and very Industrious. He is
literally educated, well informed on
public questions and is an entertaining
public speaker. He is in the very
prime of life, the age when men begin
to do things. While he is one of the
most skillful farmers of the county, he
can always find time to work in any
cause that means better town and
county.
He was first Lieutenant in Company
L. End Kentucky in the Spanish Amer
lean war and was an efficient and pop
ular officer. Mr.. Farra has been a
strong advocate of better roads, in
fact has ueen active and public spirited
in obtaining better transportation ia
cilities for his county for many years.
He is connected by blood and marriage
with many Of the most influential fam
lilies of the county, which with his per-
sonal popularity makes him one of the
leading candidates for the nomination.
Mr.. Farra knows the needs of the
people of his county, and is fully quail
flied to push any measure to success
before the General Assembly that he
may espouse, If honored by election
to term in the Legislature he will
reflect credit upon his county. He is
great admirer of the Hon. Ollie M.
James and is anxious to go to the leg
islature and cast Garrard county's vote
| for that distinguished statesman, who
will be declared the nominee of the
party for United States Senator after
the primary.

The Democratic Primary.

Before another issue of the Record
is in the hands of its readers, the
primary called by the constituted
authorities of the Democratic Party
will have been held and the nominees
of the party for United States Senator.
Governor and the other state offices,
as well as a nominee for the Legislature
from Garrard County selected by the
Democratic voters.
The officers of the primary are selec-
ted by the county Committees of the
Party in the state, and so far as we
are able to learn, it is the aim of
Democrats everywhere to see that
a fair primary is held. For our party IS
nominees to have the confidence and
support of the people in the final con-
test, they must be fairly and honestly
nominated.
The voters have grown tired of sup
porting men for Offices whose nomina-
tons are tainted with fraud. We,
therefore, urge that we have fair
primary in this county.
The democratic party is the dominant
party in this state by safe majority,
if we will select as our nominees for
the various offices, men who are known
to the voters to be suitable for the of
flee sought by them, men whose views
upon public questions are known and
and approved by the people.
The success of the party in Noxem
Der depends largely upon the nominees
of the primary, held next Saturday,
July first. Each of the nine voting
places in the county will be open from
six o'clock A. M. to o'clock P. M.
Every democrat in the county car
lay aside his work long enough to &c
to the polls and vote in this election.
You owe this duty to your party, to
yourself and to the good of your county
and state. We think it the duty OF
every man who enjoys the privilege OF
suffrage to exercise it. 1t is, likewise,
the duty of every party man to use
his influence to help select the best
men to lead the party and administer
the duties of public Office.
There are number of very worthy
men asking for nominations at the
hands of the party in this primary.
You should be more influenced in
your vote in this election by the quail
fcation of the candidate for the office
and the principles he represents than
by the friendly relations existing be-
tween you.
Nominate men who will reflect credit
upon the party that presents them to
the people, and who will be faithful to
the. trust while discharging public
duty.

The Glorious Fourth.

How many of US in celebrating the
GLORIOUS Fourth" in our several ways,
stop to think what we are celebrating?
Many of US know that it is a national
holiday and celebrate it as such, some
with firing of rockets, cannons etc. to
the great danger of our own and other
peoples life and limbs, some by ex-
cursions into the country or on fishing
expeditions, others by staying at home
for a much needed rest, but few of us

American Independence, that one
hundred and thirty five years ago to-
day we threw off the yoke of England
oppression and declared ourselves a
free and independent people. Think of
the strife and bloodshed occasioned by
this declaration, think of the hard
ships that our fore-fathers suffered,

scarcely be imagined, the fruits of all

One of the prettiest church we'd
dings seen in Lancaster in many years

O'Clock by Rev. F. M. finder, who in
his most impressive manner joined in
the holy bonds of wedlock Miss Louise
Greenleaf Kaufman of this place and
Mr.. John Hockaday Shackelford of
Richmond KY.
Promptly at the appointed hour the
bridal party consisting of the maid of
honor, Miss Frankye Kaufman, sister
of the BRIDE, Miss Van Greenleaf of
Richmond KY, cousin of the bride,
who was the brides maid, and Messrs
H. Clay Kaufman and Mr. Love, ushers,
entered the church and proceeded down
the aisles to the strains of Lohengren' s
wedding march played by Mrs. John M.
Mount; they were joined by the bride,
accompanied by her mother, who gave
her away, and the groom upon the
arms of his best man, Mr.. James Neal,
the latter party entering the church
by side entrance, and proceeded to
the alter. The ceremony was render
ed more impressive by the maid of
honor handing to the groom a ring,
which he placed upon the finger of the
bride. The bride was handsomely at
tired in tailored suit and small hat
and carried huge boquet of lilies of
the valley; the maid of honor and
BRIDES maid wore gowns of white
lingerie over pink with picture hats
and carried boquets of pink roses.

lily secured a position in the public
schools, and where she has since re-
manned.

Shackelford of Richmond and brother
of Rodes Shackelford, who is we'll
known to many Lancaster people. and

ing at present engaged in the con-
struction of large building in Column
