A misunderstanding

w II Bishop. who recently pur,
chased the furnishings OF the Cen
trail hotel, made the statement be-
fore the council Tuesday night that
the water company refused To sup
ply him with water until he had
paid a bill OF SO owed the company
by his predecessor, The injustice
OF such a proposition was almost
unbelievable, yet Mr.. Bishop was
most positive in his declaration.
Realizing that there might be two
sides to the proposition, we inter
viewed Manager Edlefsen concern
ing IT, lie stated that upon his
return from the coast that the ho-
tel owed water bill and he sent an
assistant over to collect il, when il
was found that a new man had
charge, Mr.. Bishop, the new pro-
prietor, then went over to the wa.
ter office and Mr.. Edlefsen asked
him il he still owed his predecessor
any money il he wouldn't reserve
the water bill therefrom. Mr..
Bishop thought he could arrange il,
and said he would write Mr. King,
the former tenant A week or so
later Mr.. Edleisen sent over to find
ont If anything had been done, and
the lady of the house came over aud
asked for a few more days time,
stating that they had not heard
from the man. This was acceded
To, and few more days elapsed.
Mr.. Edlefsen then sent over again,
and he was informed that they
would not pay the bill, Mr.. Ed
lefsen then suggested that they pay
the minimum for August. They
refused to do this, and Mr.. Edlef-
sen promptly turned the water off
This was Tuesday near noon. Tues
day night Mr., Bishop made his
plant to council. Wednesday
morning Mr.. Bishop apologized to
MIR. Edlefsen for his heated action
and paid his water bill for August,
after he found out that every one
else had to pay for water in advance.
We make this statement of facts
for fear the Statement might 20

was perpetrating an injustice upon |

What would be the matter with
St Johns operating heating plant ?
Many smaller cities in the East have
their own heating plants, and they
are as a rule run in successful
manner. With cheap fuel which
could be secured at the saw mill, it
seems that St. Johns would be an
ideal place in which to operate a
heating plant. Surely such an in
stitution would prove a boon to the
citizens when fuel is high as it is
at the present time.

est ability in judging I've stock at the
State,Fsir in September, a scholarship
in the College of Agriculture of the
State University. This scholarship is
worth more than SlOO and every farm
boy who has not attended college
should take advantage of this opportu-

cOntest nor to secure the entry blanks
and the prize is certainly we'll worth
working for.
In addition to this scholarship the
College of Agriculture will grant con-
cessions to the winner which will in
crease the value of the scholarships.
Students of the College of Agriculture
have been invited to enter a judging
contest at the State Fair IN this con-
test Mr.. Rankin offers S1C0 in prize
money. This contest, however, is en-.
tirely separate from the one of the

Carlisle, KY, June Il. l9Il.
Dear Comrades A statemnt was
published in the daily papers last week
announcing that | had said il was
most likely that the annual reunion of
Morgan's Men at Parks Hill would not
be held this year. but that an effort
would be made to have the grand re.
union at Lexington at the time of the
unveiling of the Morgan monument.
which Gen. Duke infurms me will be
some time about the middle of Octo-
ber.
1.-The statement was made by me,
but not in an official capacity as Sec
retary, and since several of those
who have attended and enjoyed the
meetings at Parks Hill have protested
against the calling of the meeting |
will give the reasons for my state
ment.
''In the first place the unveiling of
the monument at Lexington will be, or
ought to be. the greatest event to
Morgan's Men since the war; in the
second place Mr.. H. M. Taylor, mana
ger of Parks Hill and the head and
front of the entertainment. has been
totally unable to walk step for two
and one-half months. and it is quite
likely that he will be unable to do so
for some months to come months to
come. and this of itself is enough to
make the meeting a failure; in the
third place Gen. Duke, the president.
and G. r. Keller the secret tary, are
unit for service as will make up the
loss of Mr.. Taylor's labor of love.
ut was for these reasons that I
made the unofficial statement. but if
