Had Too Many Good Clothes.

Last week Chief Heron was called
to the ''chute" to arrest Homer Reid,
a young negro, for a minor offense
Upon entering Reeds room his atten-
ton was attracted by the unusual
amount of nice wearing apparel hang
ing around. he Immediately began
questioning Reed and receiving no sat-
isfactory explanation as to how he
came in possession of the clothes, Mr.
Heron came to town and began max
ing inquiries among the merchants as
to whether or not they had missed
anything recently.
Mr. R. s. Brown informed him that
his store had been broken into recently
on two occasions. Mr.. Brown accom-
panied Mr.. Heron to the Reed negro's
room and readily identified the cloth
ing as his property. Reed when taxed
with the crime admitted that the
clothing had been tolen from Mr..
Browns store by him and a confeder-
ate, but refused to give the name of
the confederate. He was arrested and
lodged in jail and on Tuesday had his
examining trial before Judge Ford and
was held to the grand jury. In default
of $3.50. bond he was lodged in Jail to
await the converting of that body.

United States Government Adopts Royal
Standard Typewriter.

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 49,
The Royal Standard Typewriter has
been adopted for use in the depart
ments by the United States. The
machine is the most visible, simple and
compact that has ever been manufact-
ured and is so constructed that the
eyes of the operator are readily and
naturally focused on the writing line
and keyboard at the same time. This
adds much to the comfort and efficien-
cy of the operator over the old ma
chimes, upon which the writing line is
so much higher than the keyboard,
that the eyes are kept npon strain in
the vain effort to look upon both the
work and the keys simultaneously. 1t
appears that the Royal Standard has
established new level for simplicity,
compactness, easy manipulation, dura-
billty and scientific construction that
will be difficult for competitors to rival.

Remember The Golden Rule.

Next Tuesday night will be Halo
ween and it is very much to be hoped
that there will be Reign of Reason in
Lancaster. There has in the past been
some jokes perpetrated here that not
only unnecessarily wounded the feel
ings, but destroyed the property of
some of our citizens, and we hope that
there will not be a recurrence of these
Objectionable acts this year. 1t is al
right to celebrate this event by the
preparation of harmless jokes, but let
us stop at that. There is no fun to be
derived from bringing useless mortifi-
cation to the heart of your fellow be-
ing, or in the ruthless destruction of
your neighbors property, and if you
will stop a moment to consider, you
will keep within the bounds of reason.

Reasons Why You Should Vote For The
Issuance OF The Water Works Bonds

Because Good Water is essential to
good health.
Because it is good public policy to
have an abundance of good pure water.
Because the Board of Health will
condemn the present water plant and
leave the town without protection from
fire unless something is done to i'm
prove present conditions.
Because the condemnation of the
water works means a cessation of the
revenue derived from that source and
the shutting down of the plant will
necessarily follow.
Because the work of extending the
plant will be let out to the lowest bid
der. this insures the expenditure of
only what money is absolutely necessa-
ry to complete the work.
Because the voting of bonds for the
extension does not mean the increase
of your taxes by one cent, it simply
means that the bonded Indebtedness of
the city will be extended for a few
years, something that will of necessi-
ty come, better do it now rather than
put it off until We have an epidemic of
disease.
Because an increased water supply
means that We will have an ice plant,
a laundry, and that We will be in a
position to offer some inducement to
any industry that might wish to locate
here,

Why Not Lancaster.

Atlanta Ga. Huntsville Ala. Cleye-
land o. and many other cities are
noted for their beautiful residence
streets. Upon small scale, Lancas-
ter is following in the footsteps of
these cities and identifying her streets
and if the pace set in the last few
years is kept up, she too will become
to be noted for the beautiful residence
streets within her limits. A few years
ago when one thought of building, their
thoughts naturally turned to Lexington
Ave-, and their desire was to secure a
lot and build upon that thorOughfare.
But residents of other streets have
seen how nicely kept street attracted
new corners and enhanced the value of
their property. and they took their
cue from more progressive neighbors
and began to improve. First it was
Richmond street, and within the last
two years many beautiful residences
have gone up there, there are concrete
walks, a splendid street, well kept
lawns, and every sign of cOmeliness
that would add to the appearance of
the homes and grounds in that direc-
ton. Now Danville street has decided
not to be Outdone by her neighbors and
is getting busy with those improve.

Allie and Dave Sanders have bought
lots Immediately adjoining the old
quarry. paying therefor the sum of
$500. each, have the material on the
ground and are beginning the erection
of homes. Concrete walks are down
and in course of construction, and be-
fore the coming of Spring will be COM
pleted to the city limits.
Next the other streets and the side
streets will join the march of progress,
each one vieing with the other as to
who shall present the most attractive
appearance, until, as we said before,
Lancaster will become known as the
little ''City of beautiful Streets

in an automobile was not overly pleas

To the merchants and any other of
the citizens of Garrard county who
may be skeptical of the advantages of
an Interurban Traction Line to the
average interior town, the opinion of
leading citizen of Boonville Ind.
might prove of interest. These re-
marks of the Indiana gentlemen were
published recently in the Louisville
Courier Journal with editorial COM
ment as follows:-
There are some small cities and
towns which do not take kindly to the
idea of interurban railway connection
with larger cities. This is true in spite
of the fact that experience has shown
that interurban lines benefit both the
large and small cities-urban and rural
territory alike"
'Boonville, Ind, is a small city which
has trolley connection with Evansville,
larger city. Boonville, apparently
has suffered no loss of trade thereby
Discussing this phase of the question
Charles Kindermann, hardware mer-
chant of Boonville, is quoted as saying
that the people of the town would
welcome additional traction lines.
''They help US; they help any town. I"
Mr.. Kindermann said. Travel makes
trade and the more people frequent
your city the more they will patronize
the merchants; by making business in
all the diversified lines of barter and
trade there is naturally, a greater
prosperity for the individual" Rev.
erting to his own experience as a
business man Mr.. Kindermann continu-
ed;
''Our house couldn't do without the
traction line between this city and
Evansville. Business men generally
find it of genuine benefit. Our case is
no exception. l find, for example,
that business men can carry less CAPT.
tai in surplus stock because of the
rapidity of transfer between the CEN
trail market and their own stores. We
carry large stock, but not infrequent-
y We have calls for things we could
not carry without entailing large ad-
ditional outlay. What do we do? A
man comes into our store, asks for the
article, we tell him we will deliver it
to him the same afternoon, We tele-
phone to the traction station, give our
order, it is transmitted to the Evans
vile station, and then retransmitted to
the wholesale house we are buying it
from. The article arrives in three or
four hours. We have made a sale
that otherwise might not have been
made without the carrying of an ad-
ditional and little used line of articles.
That is concrete illustration of the
value of the traction line as a trade
builder"
There are always two sides to every
question, and to the people of Gar
rard county who have only looked at
the situation from one standpoint,
perhaps the views of this Bonneville
gentleman will suggest the "other
side, will point out to them some of
the advantages to be derived from in
terurban connection, and will cause
them to weigh these advantages
against the disadvantages, many of
which they have conjured up in their
own mind, and will cause them to
withdraw the weight of their opposi-
ton from the building of the proposed
extension from Nicholasville, which so
many of US are striving so earnestly to
secure.

County Court Gets Busy.

The county officers are getting busy
in an effort to break up the petty law
lessness WHICH seems to have been rife
in some parts of the county On Sat-
urday Judge Ford fined Tim Peters
500. for breach of the peace. Peters
is the negro who was shot recently be-
low Bryantsville by Chas. Utbanks, he
claiming that Peters invaded his home,
Utbanks was discharged for the shoot
ing. On the night that Harrison Pres
ton was shot and killed by a negro
named Jones a few weeks ago at
White Oak below Bryantsville, a crap
game was said to have been in prog
ress and the officers started quiet in
vestigation with the result that on
Saturday VIM. Rutledge, white and
Ulysses Peters, John Payne, Crit Am
brose, Cal. Jefferson and Ed White
were arrested and brought in by the
Sheriff and his deputies and on Satur-
day Judge Ford taxed the whole bunch
to the tune of 500. and cost each, and
they will devote the coming winter TO
the improvement Of the county road.
Bob Mullins arrested on the same
charge was found not guilty.
This is but the beginning of gener-
al cleaning up that is intended to ex-
tend the entire length and breadth of
the county. These crap games and
drinking bouts are but. the breeding
places for greater crimes and the
county Judge and county attorney have
determined to break them up at what
ever may be the cost.
