Held for Investigation.

Hoke Smith of Georgia believe his
state crowns all others in its sense OF
civic and political honesty. and he
tells this story TO prove it: A wealthy
farmer named Sneads. who, though
he could neither read nor write. was
elected to the Georgia legislature. was
power in politics because of his
sterling honesty. When he arrived at
Atlanta, he was invited to luncheon
at a swell hotel by another member
Of the legislature. Sneads' host non-
chalantly passed him the bill of fare.
Sneads held it before him as if study
ing it intently. We'll, bow does that
bill look to YOU" asked the hest. un-
aware of his guests inability to read.
We'll, it may be all right, replied
Sneads, shaping it down on the table;
but you don't catch me votin' for
it till I know more about it,"

Did you ever hear of, a bird census
"a census of all the. birds in the
United States? One would think that
the result would be about as uncer-
tain as the count of chickens before
they are Matched. Nevertheless, the
department of agriculture is taking a
census of the birds and their habits.
IL is estimated that there are ,f.400.-
100000 Of them-not including several
millions of human geese, and as many
human parrots, who echo what others
say This estimate would give us
only about II birds apiece. and one is
almost inclined to think sometimes
that there are more thin a billion
srsrrows in the United states. But
the department is studying the birds
TO find out how they held or hurt

Sunday Closing In Danville.

There is much trouble on in Dantille
over the Sunday closing question. The
cause of it seems to be the arrest of
two Greeks who came from Lexington
and opened up what they termed the
palace of Sweets, and where they
were dispensing candy, soda water and
everything in their line, on Sunday as
on week days. They were promptly ar
rested and tried in police court, where
they were dismissed, they claiming
that they were being Disseminated a
gainst, that other places were allowed
to stay open on Sunday.
1t is predicted in Danville that the
ultimate result of the matter will be a
rigid enforcement of the ordinances
governing Sunday closing, and that if
one wishes to smoke cigar on Sunday,
he had better purchase it on Saturday
night.

An Explanation.

The following article from the Jessa-
mine News is going the rounds of the
state press at the expense of Garrard
county officers.
"A very amusing occurrence happened
in Judge Phillips court Friday. There
were several persons arrested from
Garrard county and brought here for
shooting on the public road between
Nicholasvil e and Camp Nelson. Among
the names on the warrants was a man
who had been dead for several years.
The judge said to a colored man: How
is it that your officers get things so
mixed in Garrard county," The negro
replied: ode trouble am, boss so few
of de officers can read"
Bro. Stears in writing this article
seems to have been forgetful of the
fact that warrants for offenses in Jes-
samine county are issued by Jessamine
county officials. Camp Melon is in
Jessamine county, just across the Gar
rard line.
There is a constable in that end of
Garrard county who came over from
Jessamine, and as he was known to be
fearless and of good moral character,
it was not deemed necessary to investi-
gate him intellectually; coming from
that noted seat of learning, Jessamine,
it was taken for granted he was a
scholar, however, it was afterward dis
covered that he was somewhat lacking
in that line. 1t may be possible that
the warrants were placed in his hands
for service.
In the future his more gifted Garrard
county neighbors will read his warrants
for him in order that no such mistake
may again occur and subject him to the
ridicule of his once home people.

Judge Watts Parker Dead.

Judge Watts Parker, of the Twenty
second Judicial district comprising Lex
ington and Fayette county, died at his
home in Lexington Monday morning of
heart disease. The sudden end came as
a shock to his friends and relatives, as
he was thought to be recovering from
his recent illness
Judge Parker had been in declining
health for several months but did not
give up his place on the bench until
three weeks ago, when he consented to
take rest.
Judge Parker was first elected to the
Circuit Judgeship in his district in 1892
and has served in that capacity contin-
uously, eighteen years, and was enter
ing another six year term to which he
had been elected.

Tobacco Being Marketed AT Home.

More tobacco is being marketed at
home the last few weeks than at any
other time during the present season.
This is due to the decided slump in
prices atthe various loose leaf markets.
There are now three distinct buyers in
Lancaster, Mr.. Gentry, who ships his
purchase to Cincinnati and Mr.. ]. A.
Mingua and Speath Bros. of Louisville.
The prices being paid by these gentle
man are about equal to those being re-
allied on the loose leaf markets, and it
obviates the lonf hauls.
1t is to be hoped that by the time
another Garrard county crop is ready
for the market that we will have a
market to accommodate every pound of
the weed raised in the county.
