Great Improvement.

A couple of electricians from
Lexington were in the city Mon
day, and, noticing that the Fiscal
Court was having the court house
clock reprinted, made the sugges-
ton to County Judge G. A. Nc
Cormick and County Attorney
Earl W. Senff that they be per-
mitted to wire the face of the
clock and install electric lights in
same. This has been discussed
for several years, but it has al
ways been thought that same
could not be done satisfactorily.
These gentlemen, however, put in
some temporary lights which were
very satisfactory, and will make a
bid TO the court for the permanent
wiring and it is hoped that the
court will act favorably on this
Improvement, which has so long
been needed.

E. w. Senff has made a gooC

seems to be the universal opinion
that he should be given the en-

from the race for County Judge,

Mccormick will have no opposition
for denomination. Sentinel Dem

Young Man Commits Suicide.

Joseph A. Carroll, aged 10, sor
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Carroll,
of Covington. but formerly of this
city, committed suicide at a hotel
in Huntington, w. Va, last We'd
nesday while on his vacation, by
taking carbolic acid.
The remains were brought to
this city Saturday morning and
taken to the residence of Mrs.
Patsy Mcnamara and later laid to
rest in St. Thomas Cemetery.
No cause for the young mans
rash act is known, as he was in
apparently good health and free
from trouble. He was an exeep-
tionally bright young fellow and
was devoted to his mother and ia
ther, who are heart-broken over
his untimely death, which has
caused much sorrow to his rela-
tives and friends in this city.
He was a nephew of Mrs. Patsy
Mcnamara and Mr.. John Gibbons,
of this city.

Peter Mccormick Sold.

Peter Mccormick, the great
four-year- old trotter belonging to
Ricketts, & Mccormick, of this
city, and who has been racing so
successfully this year on the half
mile tracks as well as winning the
2::19 trot at the indianapolis State
Fair, has been sold for a price
said to be in the neighborhood of
$500, although neither the name
of the purchaser or the price
could be obtained from the for
mer owners who said they had
been requested by the purchaser
to keep name and price quiet. An
Indianapolis paper in speaking of
his race there, said:
Peter Mccormick, with a half
mile track record of 2:15, and
with thirteen first and second
Hwinnings to his credit within the
last six weeks, placed another
winning race to his long list of
laurels by winning the 2:19 class
for trotters in straight heats. He
took the lead from Sparkle G.
the first heat at the half and was
not again headed in this or the
two final heats, in which he led
his fields the entire distance. He
is but a 4-year-old, and seems
destined to become a great trotter.

GIGANTIC
ENTERPRISE
The Advocate With Other
Leading Papers to Pub
fish Magazine.
Mr.. II. S. Maddox Is Here for a
Few Days In Behalf of Same.

A number of the leading news
papers in Kentucky, Indiana and
Ohio are forming a great enter
prise to be known as The Associ-
ated Publishers Company. Only
one newspaper in each county will
become a member of the gigantic
organization. At the head of the
concern will be some of the biggest
writers in the country and the out
come is to be modern, up-to-date
monthly magazine, richly illus
trated. The magazine will be sent
regularly to all ADVOCATE sub
scribers as we'll as to the subscrib-
ers of all the many papers which
are to consolidate on it's publica-
ton. The purpose is to furnish
the whole public not only a first
class newspaper in each commu-
nifty, but at the same time a high
class magazine without additional
cost to the reader. In each COM
munity a limited amount of stock
will be sold in The Associated Pub
lishers' Company, several hundred
leading citizens of Kentucky hav-
ing already subscribed for stock,
and the outlook for the enterprise
is most propitious. A list of the
stockholders is on file at the AID
vOCATE Office.
Publishers of magazines through
out the nation have made great
fortunes and there is every reason
to believe that The Associated
Publishers Company will have
greater success than the average
magazine publishers, in view of the
fact that the concern will have
local cooperation in each commu-
nifty. For instance, in Montgom-
cry county only a very limited
magazine circulation has been at
tanned by any one publication. The
product of The Associated Pub
fishers will have a solid circulation
in each county and the long hope
of the national advertiser to secure
publicity among all
the citizens of a given territory
will have been realized.
The general offices will be To-
Gated in Cincinnati and the first
publication will be issued about
the middle of October. The AD-
being a member of the
organization, will gladly give de-
tailed information to all who are
interested in the movement.

The love and esteem in which she was
held by her entire church was well
evinced by the presence Of numbers of
her co-workers in missionary labor
from distant parts of the State, and
many visiting churchmen. Even from
Charleston the abundance and beauty
of the flowers which covered her cas-
ket and her last resting place at Mag
nolia were wonderful. The music rem
dered by Prof. Ruddock and the Meis-
tersingers was faultless in its exqui-
site conception and harmony, while the
few remarks of her pastor, the Rev.
Robert Truesdale, of Trinity church,
were solemn, touching and appropri-
ate.

could do doubtless, but the point we
are making is that he is not equipped
and that is not his fault but his mis-
fortune, misfortune which the peo-
pie of the Third district should not be
called upon to share.
Col. Evans is making a close and
buisness-like campaign and running
solely on his merits, bit he will at
the proper time take up the record of
his opponent and show the people
wherein their interests have suffered.
He will endeavor to have Mr.. Aiken
meet him on every stump in the dis
trict, as he desires that the people
have the opportunity of knowing how
his stewardship has been abused and
that Mr.. Aiken also have the oppor-
tunity of defending his course in con-
gress. Mr.. Aiken has heretofore been
somewhat averse to meeting his op-
ponent on the stump, but Col. Evans
hopes to make the meetings so inter-
esting and attractive to him that he
will attend each of them and deliver
his speeches orally and not through
leave to print in the record"
The Inteligencer is pleased to note
an enthusiastic and spontaneous in
terest in Col Evans's candidacy in
Anderson county, where he is widely
known and universally liked. He is
prominently identified with several in
huential secret orders, among them
the Independent Order Of Odd Eel
lows, Ancient Order of Free Masons,
in which order he has attained to the
rank of the Ancient Order of Mystic
Shrine and he will this month be ele-
vatcd to the position Of Grand Chan
cellor of the Knights Of Pythias.
