One Of Our Boys.

Another one of our Marion
boys has received recognition in
adopted home in the far west.
This time it is Warner Thomas,
who was elected city clerk Of
Reslands California, which really
comprises two other offices as well
and the fact that h4 was elect
ed as democrat over an older
and we'll known Republican in a
city which is largely of the latter
faith, only goes to prove how he
stands with all the people re-
CARELESS of politics. Warner &C
cording to our exchanges stood
for good government and opposed
to liquor and merited all the
votes he received. He and his
mother, Mrs. Carrie Thomas, now
reside there and we are glad to
know they are loved and respect
ed there as they were here.

w. r. Bowles, the local photog-
IA pher who has invented an i'm
proved lamp box for charging
pic lures, making negatives by
artificial hight and for general
purposes in photography has been
granted a patent on it. He will
now proceed 10 apply forpatents
in several foreign countries, and
believes he has a fortune in his
grasp if he can protect himself.
Even this early Mr.. Bowles is
having a multitude OF applicat-
ions from wholesale houses to
handle his machine, and from
firms and individuals to buy his
patent right but ar yet he has
turned a deaf ear to al such.
j l. Stewart MariOns up to date
city photographer was one of the
first to secure the above ment-
Toned machine. He now has it
and it works like a charm and
he is delighted with it.

Bear EIopes With Her Hobbie Skirt

Monticello, n. Y, Feb. q. -
Miss Amelia Yeoman of No. 80
Macon street, Brooklyn, visited
her summer home on Ki&mesha
Lake yesterday. She unpacked
some clothing, and when she
found traces of moths in a hobble
skirt hung the garment on a line
in the back yard. When she
went to get the skirt this morn
ing it was gone. r
Tracks in the snow about the
place where the skirt had hung
made Miss Woman suspect that
a tramp had been prowling about
the house. When Wash Bailey
and Charles Smith saw the foot
prints they didn't tell her other
wise but made haste to get their
guns. Since early this morning
they have been trailing the bear
that really was the thief.
When Miss Yeoman was asked
this evening is the skirt had been
found she said it hadn't.
And" she added, If the
bear finds it as hard to climb q
tree with that skirt on as | die
once. it will be divided skirt
when it does come back"
Bailey and Smith have already
come across several places where
the hobble bear stopped to use
language.

GETTING CLOSE TO
CRITTENDEN'S BORDER
Transaction Involving $500, 100000
Development Of Coal Lands
Near Providence.

A four hundred thousand dol
lar coal deal, in which men Of
Henderson and vicinity are inter
ested, has just been consummat.
ed.
1t is the sale of forty thousand
or more acres of coal land to a
syndicate composed largely of
wealthy Frenchmen.
The deal was put across by l..
S. Jackman, of Henderson; J. 7.
Edwards, of Providence; VIM.
Lynch Of Dawson Springs: L. 4.
Henry, Of Dixon. and their asso-
ciates.
The coal land is some Of the
best in the rich coal fields Of
Western Kentucky. 1t is located
in Hopkins county, betV cen
Providence and Dawson Springs.
This is part Of the big coal
rights that has occupied the at
tention of Mr.. Jackman and as
sociates for the past year or two
and is not the first deal that has
been put over. The French
capitalists were brought here
last fall and were shown over
this tempting coal tract. They
returned again few days ago.
and that they were impressed
favorably is selfevident from
the fact that the papers We're
signed up concentrating the
deal.
This vast tract of coal land is
bought for the purpose of de
velopment in the near future.
1t has been reported that the
Arcadia Hotel at Dawson Springs
is in this deal, but this is denied
so far. However, it has been
repeatedly published lately that
the HollOmans will turn over the
property to new men at a price
that will mean fortune to
them.
