JAMES ROBINSON.

Mr.. James Robinson died at his home

be attributed to no disease, tho there
has been for some time an indication
of the slackening of life's engine, but
with that strength and energy which
has characterized his life, the splendid
old gentleman refused to give up and
take his bed, and when the final sum-

Gov. MeCreary Has Good Cause To b
Favorable To Hon. Jere Sullivan
Says The Danville
Advocate.

The Danville Advocate has the fol-
lowing to say concerning Coy. Nc
Creary's gratitude to Hon. Jere Sui
livan, and gives very plausible reasons
why the Chief Executive should favor
Mr.. Sullivan for the nomination for
congress in the eighth district
"Gov. James B. McCreary is one of
the most appreciative democrats in
Kentucky. His long career of success
and political achievements are said to
be very largely due to his spirit of APP
probation and gratitude. Last year
after an insult to democracy had been
Matched up at Stanford, which jeopar-
died Gov. McCreary's chance of sue
cess, Hon. Jere Sullivan took off his
coat and went to work like a Trojan to
weld the party together. Five months
he spent in this work. That his efforts
bore fruit was exemplifed in one of
the grandest victories the Democratic
party has ever achieved in Kentucky.
Although the insult which disturbed the
party was started at Stanford, the
home town of Congressman Harvey
Helm, little did he do to bring about
harmony and success in November.
He contributed less to the state cam
paign fund than any other democratic
congressman in Kentucky, although I'M
der the circumstances he should have
been the largest contributor. Under
such circumstances, who blames Gov.
McCreary for being favorable to Judge
Sullivan. Does not such policy show
the McCreary spirit-the same spirit
which characterised him through his
long career and made him the idol of
Kentucky. Every man who believes
in Gov. McCreary should be for Judge
Sullivan, for to him more than to any
other man in Kentucky the democratic
administration at Frankfort owes a
debt of gratitude for the splendid VIC
tory last November.

Anyone holding to the opinion that

the following extract from the dis

"In any person pretending to the pos

children to take advantage of the ed
vocational facilities which at great ex.
pense has been provided for them,

some hard feelings, will nevertheless

the absence of pupils shall be reported
by the teacher to the trustees, and in
turn to the Superintendent, who will
make a rigid investigation as to the
absence of the pupil, and if it is found
to be the inexcusable fault of the

taken in the matter.

and who yet survives him. firing of
mercantile pursuits and yearning for
the quiet farm life, in November 1857
he disposed of his holdings and pur-
chased and moved to the farm upon
which he died. To this necleus he adj
ded other land and until a few years
ago was one of the largest land owners
in Lincoln county, but with the en-
croachment of age he felt that his
vast holdings were too much for his
strength and he disposed of his land
down to the original farm of $50 acres,
to which he gave his active attention
and managed in person up to the day
of his death.
A strong, upright, conscientious man,
active in church work, active in the
welfare and advancement of the COM
munity in which he dwelt, he held the
unstinted respect of his neighbors and
the entire countryside. Always an I'M
compromising democrat, even in his adj
vanced years he never failed to 90 to
the polls and cast his vote for the NOM
inees of his party. Notwithstanding
his strong party feeling, he never
sought or cared for public office, rather
preferring the simple farm life in the
bosom of his family to the hurly, burly
busy political or mercantile life. Liv-
ing out more than four score years, a
life seldom vouchsafed, he lived to see
his children grow up about him, be-
come prosperous, and in turn rear fami-
lies of their own, each and every one of
them becoming useful men and women
in their respective communities, surely

HELM FLUNKED.
Fell Down At Liberty in Joint Debate
With Hon. Jere Sullivan.
(Danville Advocated

Oanville Advocate)
A prominent Casey county citizen
tells the Advocate that Congressman
Harvey Helm made funk at Liberty
last Monday in the joint debate with
Hon. Jere Sullivan. He evidently for
got part of his speech and goaded by
the charges made by his opponent, be-
came mad and carried on violently,
smacking his hands in strange man
ner and yelling out, making a big
noise. Our informant says to his per-
sonal knowledge at least one hundred
men who had before the speaking been
inclined to Helm openly declared them
selves for Sullivan. Congressman
Helm declared he had not promised
any jobs, although it is generally know
that George Willis, of Shelbyville, is
canvassing the district, pleading with
the voters to support Helm, as Helms
defeat means his defeat. Citizens in
almost every county are making fight
for the Congressman on the ground
that they will be taken care of if
Helm wins.

Get out your whitewash brush, shars
pen up your scythe and begin placing
your house in order for the reception
of the many strangers who enter our
gates during fair time. The time is
short but the need is urgent, and let
us put up the very best possible appear
ance, let us keep up our hitherto
splendid reputation for being "city
beautiful.
We announced early in the year that
We would have our annual fair, and
this announcement has never been con-
tradicted by US, and our faith has new
er been shaken that we would have
one, Garrard county with her reputa-
ton for giving one of the best stock
shows in the state, with her reputa-
ton for unbounded hospitality, with
her people anxious that they should
hold this annual event as usual, could
not afford to let year pass without
giving a fair. We never deemed it
necessary to go into caucuses with our
neighboring counties as to dates, as
we have always held our fair during
the last week of July, We announced
that we would pursue the same course
this year, and we deemed this sufficient.
Notwithstanding this ample notice up
on our part, notice which should have
been accepted in good faith until de-
MED, some of our neighboring coun-
ties will hold fairs to conflict with US.
This we deplore but cannot help, we
hope they will make a success of
theirs, as we hope to make of ours.
The fair this year is under the auspi-
ces of the local lodge Knights of Py-
thias, pushing, hustling, energetic
gentlemen, one and all, with that old
experienced fair man, Robert L. Elkin
at the helm as secretary, we expect to
give one of the very best exhibitions
ever seen in Central Kentucky.
During the last few years there has
been a great influx of people from
eastern Kentucky into Garrard county,
who came in and bought farms paying
therefor fancy prices; many of these
people had upon previous occasions
visited this county during the progress
of the fair, and had been attracted by
our appearance of cleanliness and
thrift and had concluded that this was
a good country in which to live and
came back here and purchased farms
and made this their permanent home.
Thus it may be seen that it pays to
clean up and make tidy appearance,
not only for cleanliness sake. but as an
advertisement. Place your premises in
the very best possible condition, cut the
weeds along the road, if not all over
your farm, land especially along your
outside fences beside the road; white
wash fences, hang that old gate that
has been on one hinge so long, put
away out of sight the machinery which
you have finished with for this year,
get it out of your front premises and
under shelter, where it should be, and
do everything that will lend to the at
Effectiveness of your premises during
the one gala week of the year.
