From Our Nearest Rival.

The following extract is from the
Hartford Herald, of Hartford, KY,
winner Of second place in the con-
test of weekly newspapers at the
Kentucky Press Association. The
Herald is an excellent paper. and
one of which Its constituents may
well be proud:
Only One Other.
"It was decided at the Kentucky
Press Association meeting held at
olympian Springs, In Bath county.
last week. and attended by over 100
newspaper editors. that there is only
one better gotten up and printed
s-page weekly newspaper in the
State than the Hartford Herald.
That paper is the Big Sandy News,
published at Louisa, Ky.
The score OF the Big Sandy News
was 76 points to The Heralds SO
points out OF possible 100 points.
Quite number OF Kentucky's
bright and worthy sheets entered
into the contest. and The Herald
feels highly honored at this second
choice. for the Big Sandy News Is
certainly daisy" in every point
that makes for a good newspaper.
and we cheerfully and willingly
abide the decision of the capable
Judges. We did not learn the spe-
cific points by which the NEWS won
over The Herald, but we are satis-
fled they were weh taken. and 1t is
evident that both were accorded
credit on few OF the same points.
We congratulate the NEWS with the
heartiest good will"

Sewer and CUTTERS.
City Council Decides to Put Them in
Louisa Streets.

The City Council met last Tues
day night and decided to put in a
system of sewers and to lay con
crete curbs and cutters in that por-
tion of town which was being con-
sidered in the paving proposition,
namely, Madison, Main, Perry, Wat
er. Main Cross, Jefferson and Lady
Washington.
The report of engineer John M
Dyer showed the cost of paving,
sewers and gutter to be almost pro-
hibitive. The council took the
course above mentioned as the first
step toward paving. Bids are to be
opened July 18th. The cost is est
mated to be about 81 cents per
front foot for each property owner
along the route. There seems to he
considerable opposition to the ae-
ton taken. If the council decides
to put the proposition into effect it
Is said injunction proceedings will
be resorted to.
One OF the chief objections is
that most of the citizens paid the
water company for the use of its
sewer for 20 years, only seven years
of which have expired.
