| have recently been making some in
vestigation of the early records of Adair
county, and in doing so became espec-
tally interested in the life and character
of our first and leading pioneer, Col.
VIM. Casey. He came from Virginia
to Logan's Fort in Kentucky, arriving
at the Fort as he says in deposition to
which have had access, on the 18th
day of March, 1879. and during the fol-
lowing year he hunted along the head
waters Green River, about the mouth of
South Fork, and of Goose Creek, now
Casey county, and perhaps as low down
as PellytOn, or the mouth of Spruce
Pine Branch. Adair was then without
white man within its now borders.
He established the first station in
what is now Adair county, opened the
first farm South of Russell's creek,
administered on the first estate in Green
before Adair was formed from it,
served as delegate in the Constitu-
tional Convention of 1899, was a mem.
Der of the first court of quarter sess-
ions of Green and also of the same court
in Adair, and was Presidential elector
Tor the State in 1913. He was also a
patron of letters and religion, having
established a school here as early as
1893, and made the first donation of
land for church, as far as | can find
the old Shiloh Presbyterian church In
the Stott's neighborhood, where he lived.
He died about 1920, and was buried in
this county, and although he lived to be
over eighty years old, he died, doubtless
ignorant of the fact, which is establish
ed by the records here, that he was the
great grand father of MARK Twain"
The mother of MARX Twain was
Jane Hampton, daughter Of Benja-
mine Hampton, who was son-in- law of
Col. Casey.
Benjamin Hampton was one of the
contractors and builders of the first
Clerks Office in this town, near the site
of the present Jail.

The Report Of Committee on
Temperance.

The following Temperance resos-
lions were adopted by the recent Dis
trict Conference at Russell Springs, Ky.
We your committee on Temperance.
beg leave to submit the following re-
port:
1t is with profound gratitude that We
observe from the reports of our various
pastors that there is only a small per
cent OF our members who are habitual-
iy using intoxicants as a beverage,
that there is a constantly increasing
sentiment among the people favoring
the entire prohibition of the traffic in
strong drink.
But We note with regret that in al
most every part of our territory there
are tFose that are engaged in the Illicit
sale of whiskey, and are finding ready
purchasers of their soul destroying
poison. That there should be Il con-
slant traffic going on in our midst in
that which destroys all that is good
and noble in the young life of cur land
Is bad enough; but when we consider
that this fragrant violation of our law
breeds contempt for law and authority.
and encourages the spirit of anarchy,
we can see that We are rapidly aD-
preaching condition that is intoler-
able.
To indulge excessively in strong
drink, dethrOnes the reason, impairs
the Judgment, perverts the motives,
and gives wrong direction to the at
fections; thus destroying all that is
good In human character, making u
our otherwise noble youth, purjuz
anarchists, and hbertines Thl
shown by the fact that the or,
difficulty in prosecuting the man
sells whiskey is in finding WITT
who will always swear the truS
garding the transaction. The ma
unlawfully buys and uses whiske
generally perjure himself on the
ness stand.
y
of God can not afford to be inactiv,
Therefore We recommend: LIST.
as preachers of righteousness we
tlnue our active opposition to this f
of the race both privately ami publicIN
End. That We indorse the Anti-Sa-S
loon League as the best agency for
concerted action against the saloon, and
pledge ourselves TO cooperation with
IL IN every legitimate way in an effort
to secure the passage of a uniform
County Unit Biz oy the next Legisla-
ture. and finally for the prohibition of
the manufacture and sale of ardent
spirits
3rd. That we urge and request that
preachers continue to preach on tenn
perance and thus mold public sentiment
against this traffic-the greatest of
evils-until our country shall be free
from its power and influence, and that
we pledge ourselves to support only
such men for office as oppose the sale
and use of intoxicants.
4th. That we discourage the use of
tobacco in every form and especially
the cigarette habit.

Asssssmsnts Of Corner Lots.
The method used to assess corner
lots for paving was similar to the plan
adopted by former councils. The
members Of the council, city solicitor
and city engineer visited these corner
properties and all other properties and
appraised them. This appraisement Of
their value was based on the location
Of the lot. section Of town, buildings
on it, and their value, etc. With this
appraised value as basis the pro-
posed assessment was made, but not
to exceed % per cent Of the property's
value as appraised by the council.
This Is per cent assessment covers

moment during the entire performance
OF this bright comedy, but two and one
half hours Of solid merriment and laugh
ter
The amusing little play. with its spark
ling music, funny situations and witty
dialogue, is the greatest musical comedy
seen in New York in years Every song
in Alma. Where Do You Live?" is a de-
cided hit The excellent cest, headed by
Miss Truly Shattuck and Bernard DAILY,
which Joe Weber has given Alma" does
full justice to the exquisite melodies. The
story Is of intense interest, and George
V. Hobart in his English version has
greatly improved upon the original Of
Paul Herve, interfering much native
American humor and eliminating all Of
the unpleasant Gallicisms. All OF the
sparkling music of Jean Briquet has been
retained and Mr.. Hobart's fourteen lyrics
are laughable and clever in the extreme.
