Monoolss In the English Army.
About a century ago a British army
order was issued forbidding officers to
wear eyeglasses or spectacles. But a
shortsighted officer belonging to a
crack cavalry regiment had no mind
to resign his commission or stumble
blindly. and he invented the single
eyeglass. When called to account by
the authorities he claimed that the
monocle, being Of the singular num-

against spectacles and glasses in the

Echo from the Drawing.

On the 27th of July last the
Nash Clothing Co., held drawing
in which the holder of the winning
ticket would receive a handsome
dining room set consisting of table,
six chairs and handsome set of
china. The tickets were duly nuber-
ed, and duplicates were put into a
box, well shaken, and the first num-
Der drawn out won the prize, If the
holder of the corresponding number
was present. The drawing came off
as advertised. The first ticket drawn
from the box was numbered 1853,
and the holder of the duplicate
ticket. Clyde Copley, was present,
came forward, presented the ticket
to Mr.. Nash and was awarded the
prize. Under the circumstances there
was nothing else to do.Shortly after
the drawing. however, it developed
that along with 81 other tickets No.
1853 was the property of Wilbur
son of Rowland Endicott,
Of Webb, w. Va. who had received
them with purchases made at the
Nash Clothing Cos, store. He had
kept a list of the numbers and had
sent the tickets to Louisa to be
ready for the drawing. No. 1859
had been lost, and 1t was found by
Clyde Copley about fifteen minutes
before the drawing was held. Endi-
,ott made a demand for the prize,
sustained, and 1t is now in
lis possession. He is nephew of
Clyde Copley's mother.

Shortly after his incarceration

App0Ttionment Of School Fund.

The apportionment of the school
fund among the counties has been
completed by the Department of Ed

State amounts to 81 for each pu-

ty's share Of the dog tax and bonds,

The Streets and Alleys.

Some of the streets of Louisa are
receiving the attention which should
have been given to them long ago.
bitches have been drained so the
sunlight could get to the bottom
and destroy the germs and malari-
Gus poison that were infesting them.
A few days OF good work. aided by
sun and air, will make the condi-
tion OF the streets decidedly less
unsanitary. The work being done
will do much good along the lines
OF health and appearance. but the
principal cause OF stagnant pools
and the unhealthy state OF our
thoroughfares still remains. The
trouble began over 40 years ago. In
the summer of 1869 or thereabouts
a survey OF the town was made and
the result was accepted more or
less willingly as the proper location
OF the streets and alleys OF the
town of Louisa. A mistake was made
in not having the engineer establish
a grade 10 which all work on the
towns highways should be made
TO conform. From that time to the
preseut every man who has stuck
spade into the streets by way of inn
provement has done the work as he
or some one has directed. The con-
sequence is that the water in the
cutters flows. when 1t flows at all.
toward every point OF the compass,
and so II will continue to do un-
III there is some definite grade es-
.ablished and maintained.

Two BRANCH RAILROADS.
To be Built in Big Sandy Territory
Next Year.

Cincinnati, President George
w. Stevens, of the Chesapeake n
Ohio. in statement to the Enquir-
er says:
"All the construction now under
way is being pushed as rapidly as
possible to completion. Beginning
early next year two branch roads
will be built in Kentucky. These
new branches viii aggregate be-
tween % and 80 miles.
All of the coal developed IN the
Elkhorn and Big Sandy Valleys pass
es through Ohio to the lakes and
the West. The amount of this coal
is steadily increasing. At the pres
ent time it is impossible to estimate
the output per year. This coal is
used by manufacturing Industries OF
all kinds in the West.
In response to a question whether
the G. & o., spent millions of dol
lars in "bottling up the Kentucky
coal fields and that the Louisville
and Nashville had slipped in with an
extension from The Lexington and
Eastern is true. Mr. Stevens said.
This is news to me. We have
made no attempt to bottle up the
coal fields in Kentucky or any 9TH
er place. We built the Big Sandy
road expressly for the purpose of
developing the coal fields in East
ern Kentucky. We have never
thought of preventing any other
roads that want to from coming in
to these fields The Louisville and
could, If it wished, at any
time get into these fields"
Mr. Stevens said nothing about
my improvements that are con-
'empiated on the Hooking Valley.
which is now controlled by the G
0. From other sources, however.
7 was learned that several million
loilars will be spent in improves
nents of the road as soon as the
resent litigation is ended.

OIL Matters In General.

Leasing activity is evident in a
number OF Kentucky counties whore
no drilling was done last year. sey-
eral operators are In the Knox
county district and new work is be-
ing started there. Along Beaver
Creek. in Floyd county, several wells
will be drilled.
Field operations for the week were
about up to the average. The Wayne
county districts lead in results ac-
complished, four competitions being
registered In that district. the best
being good for thirty barrels daily.
One strike was made in the Law
renee county pool. OF ten barrels
capacity, while good wildcat strike
is reported from Floyd county. Ths
Western Kentucky districts have
contributed nothing in the produc-
ing line lately. but developments are
just gaining good headway and the
coming month will witness the COM
pietion OF several recently started
wells.
The Martin county gas belt. in
Eastern Kentucky. win be extensive
ly developed this year. A pipe line
Is now in process OF building from
that county TO connect with the gas
lines extending to Central Kentucky
cities. and the additional supply
may lead to further extensions Of
the Central Kentucky lines. More
than $i,o00.000 will be spent in the
gas developments and extending
lines TO points Of consumption.
Kentucky petroleum prices remain
firm at 81 and SO cents a barrel |
There is little prospect OF decline !
from these prices, as storage oil is
being heavily drawn upon to sup
ply the demand. and the probability |
IS that even higher prices will pre-
vail to stimulate production. Ken
tucky's output in gradually increas-
ng, and with higher prices opera
.ors are realizing more money than
,ver before.
