Ruston Trouble Settled

1t looks now as II the Ruston-

kee proposition on Front street
will all be settled up at once.
The city commissioners went to
Ruston and looked over the stu

smelter people to change Front
street at the end. The end of
Front street bumps right into the
smelter plant. w. r. Rust pro-
posed that the city vacate the dead

to go around the smelter plant
and connect up with the tunnel to
be built. This was agreed to.

Crimes.

Mr. Charley Grimes, died at his home
near Lancaster Monday morning at q
O. clock of pneumonia after an illness of
several weeks and was buried in the
Lancaster cemetery at 10 o'clock Tues
day morning. Cousin Charley, as he
was familiarly known by nearly every
man, woman and child in Garrard
county had lived all his life in this
county and was u years of age. He
had smile and a cheering word for
every one and could always amuse a
crowd with his jokes. He was one of
Garrard counties most noted fruit
raisers and always had good variety
on hand and nearly every one in Lam
caster always wanted Consin Charley
to fix up their trees every spring.
His death did not come as surprise
as he has been paralized for some
weeks and his family and friends feared
that he would not get well although
they had hoped that he might pull
through this spell. He had the dispo-
sition that made friends wherever he
went and every one feels sad to hear
of his death and sympathize with his
wife, two daughters and one son in the
loss of good husband and father.

Ganard County For Cox.

were uninstructed as to the other Of

chairman and VIM. johnson, Secty.
There We're a few voters who favored
the nomination of Judge O'Rear how
after Judge L. l.. Walker made his
speech and told of what friend Gov.
Cox had been to him by appointing him
Circuit Judge and to the people of

elect Bradley to the United States

Good Man Announces.

The announcement in this issue of
the RECROD that Mr. E. B. Ray is a
democratic candidate for the nominal
ton for Assessor of this county does
not come as a surprise to the voters as
it has been rumored for some time
that he would seek the nomination.
Mr.. Ray is a dyed-in-thewool demo-
crat and has always been found fight
ing for the cause since he has been a
voter. His home is in Buckeye and he
has many friends there as well as all
over the country who say that he is a
sure winner. He has taken leading
part in Garrard county politics in every
election for the past several years and
in asking for this nomination he does
so with the confident belief that his
friends will stand by him and repay
him for the good work done in the
past.

Democrats Making Honest Efforts.

The Democrats are sincere in their
efforts to run the House of Representa-
tives on an economical business basis.
The report of Jerry South, chief clerk
of the House, just made public, shows
that during the month of June a saving
of So, $3.50 was effected as a result of
the abolishing of useless offices. This
item, which does not include the big
reduction on the police force which the
senate has not yet cOncurred in but
will approve shortly, means saving of
$102, 742.S 80 in year.
This is not stupendous sum, it is
true, but the spirit is in striking con-
trast to the $35 wastepaper baskets in

mission at public expense at Narragan-

Republican Convention.

The nomination of Judge f. C..
O'Rear for Governor, by the Republi-
can State Convention, was not a sur
prise as the rank and file of the party
were for him. The platform adopts
considerable democratic thunder, but
not enough to win. when their plans
and methods are made known to the
people. Everybody is for good roads.
good schools, fair elections and a bet
ter system of taxation. Democrats
advocate all these and everything that
insures the greatest good to the great
est number. While We will have an
invincible organization and we can win
by an old time majority, it behooves
every democrat to be alert, rally around
the banner and above all things vote
when the polls open.
There is no wisdom in ignoring the
fact that the Republicans are full of
enthusiasm, and they will poll a full

O'Rear has made mistakes enough to

Our Court House.

Time after time The RECORD has
called attention to the dilapidated con,
dition of our court house, however this
time we desire to call your attention
to the new coate of paint which COW
ers the outside. The clock has had
new gold put or it and if we had not
seen the old structure for these many
years we would be tempted to think
that it was a new building. The coun-
ty has spent several hundred dollars
fixing the inside Of the cupola and hav-
ing this paint put on. Now there is
only one more thing to do and that is
tosfx up the vaults. Our Fiscal Court
would also have had this done but that
would take more money than they can
spare. The only way to fix the vaults
it to vote bonds and we think that the
people will soon realize the necessity Of
having this done. We cannot to save
our life see why there is any person ir
the county who could be opposed tc
these bonds for at the present time
you are paying every cent of tax that
the law allows and should you vote ter
thousand dollars worth of bonds, the
law would not allow you to pay any
more tax even if you wanted to.
We congratulate each and every
member of our Fiscal court upon the
good work they have done, and assure
them that the good people of the
county will appreciate their efforts to
