The Wolford Way.

1t has been suggested that The News
present the proposition of building a
first class road from Lincoln or Boyle
county to Barren county connecting the
Blue grass and Pennyroyal section and
intersecting the Lincoln way at Glass
Cow or some other point in that county
and that this road be known as the
Wolford Way. The suggestion is a
good one and is within the ability of the
counties through which it would pass.
Barren county is already interested in
good roads and as we understand has
built several miles in the direction of
Edmonton. On the other end of the
proposed road good one exists
from Dunville in Casey county. From
Dunville to the connection with the
Glasgow road is about fifty or sixty
miles and could be built in a short time
if all our people so determine. Glasgow
Edmonton, Columbia, Liberty, Stan
ford and Dunville and all smaller towr s
along the line could best determine this
proposition by delegated convention
selected for this purpose and meet at
Columbia, the central point on the line.
The Wolford Way, passing through,
the "Wolford Kingdom" and connect
ing the Lincoln Way bringing Blue grass
and Pennyroyal into one common union
would be worth far more than it would
cost. Gentlemen, along the line, speak
out! What think you?

The Boney Woman.

We wish to give brief but correct
account of what we have heard con.
corning a lady by the name of Coffey,
who once lived in Russell county, KY.
and was known as the Boney Woman
on account of having had great many
unnatural bones taken from her body.
Some 60 years ago her condition was
discussed great deal by the citizens of
this community and as well as we re-
member no one seemed to doubt the
truth of what we will relate. Being
first attacked with severe pains in
some part of her system there would
appear an enlargement under the skin
then bone would protruGe, sometimes
they would come through without as
siStance if not, the Doctor would make
an incissior and extract them. In
some casses they would introduce
forceps and crush them before extract
ing the pieces. This | have learned
from Mr.. Herschel Willis, whose faith
er. Judge Ned Willis, lived about one
mile from the home of John Fields
near where Joppa now is. 1t seems
that the honey woman, was removed
from Russell county to Adair to be
treated by Drs. Samuel and Elijah
Fields, who will be remembered by the
older citizens of Columbia as si.illful
physicians. Mr.. Willis tells me that
he has heard his mother frequently
speak of visiting her and on one occa-
sion saw the Doctors extract bone
from under her tongue which resem-
bled the thigh bone of a small chicken.
and she examined it before it lost the
natural warmth of the body. l have
heard my mother speak of hearing DR..
Milton WOlford, who also treated the
Coffey lady, give pretty nearly the
same account of her as given by Mrs.
Willis Doctors came from Philadel-
phia to see this wonderful freak of
nature. She recovered and became the
mother of one or more children Since
writing the foregoing we have consult
ed Aunt Lizzie, widow of the late John
j. Epperson, lady of superior intelli.
gence whose mind is remarkably clear
for one IS years of age. On being
asked if she remembered to have ever
heard of what was once known as the
honey woman, yes, yes. she replied,
visited the home of John Fields with
my mother to see her, and she was a
honey woman. We saw scars all around
her neck, on her breast and arms.
They told US the bones came out all
over her body, asked her if there
were many of these bone, o yes she
replied hands full of them extending
both hands. When asked if they seem.
ed to be broken bones she said all that
saw seemed to be whole bones. There
was an enlargement on her neck at
! that time where a bone seemed to be
coming to the surface. Mrs. Epperson
does not remember anything more con-
corning her after this visit but said
that she appeared to be about 81
years of age at that time. Verify
truth may appear stranger than fiction

A very unfortunate killing occurred
at Monticello last Thursday night.
VIM. Philips, saddler by trade, shot
and instantly killed Porter Eads, who
was conducting an ice plant and an
ice cream parlor. Some one put dog
push on Philips dog, and he accused
Eads, went to his place of business and
killed him. The two men had here to-
fore been friends. The whole town
was thrown into great excitement, and
Philips was hurried to Danville in an
automobile to prevent mob violence.

Echoes Of the Fair.

Alex Chewing rode that black horse

Everybody was delighted with the
band music.
Not an overflow of horses but good
ones in every ring.
The best of order prevailed and the
fair was success in every particular.
1t was fine Burkshires against fine
Poland China and both got blues w.
Flowers and R. F. PAUL. saw'm tied.
The cattle shows, both in dairy and
beef lines, were credit to the county
as well as to the breeders.
Owen Gaines and R. F. PAUL showed
their beautiful two years old FLIES to-
gather and then against one another
both won.
Curt Yarberry has some mules at
least that is the impression of those
who showed against them.

melon than the blue ribbon one at the
Fair-R. l.. Smythe was the winner.
Wolford Bros. fine young horse. Rex
PAUL, showed in good form and left the
grounds with his part of blues.
Never saw finer colts and as there
were six or eight in the battle for blues
that were faultless in form, beauty and
style we will not comment.
George Staples is still little horse
but he and his partners pulled over the
ripple and now have the coin of the
realm in their possession
DIR. Jones and wife of Campbells-
vile have blue ribbon son, while Mr..

have the premium daughter.
Wilson Bros. had string made of the
best and left Columbia with smile and
full pocket book-they had several
graduates.
r. H. Price got several ribbons in
the fancy harness shows the red was
won when only two colts were in the
ring and the same gelding took both
the blue and red at one time-he had
everything his own way.
Many had looked forward to hot
contest in the finest turnout, fifty
dollar premium adorned with fine sill

The Buchanan Lyon Company, of
Campbellsville. but it failed to bring
out more than one, though there were
three premiums. At any rate it was
no fault of the enterprising firm that
offered it, for members of that com.
pany were present doing what they
could to make it contest of real inter.

Miss Bess HUM, with one of the finest

two exceptions it was generally con-
ceded that the Judges, Messrs. Doc
