City Council Getting Busy.

The City Council met in regular ses-
sion on Monday night and transacted
their regular monthly routine business.
Mr.. L. D. Hollingsworth of Frankfort
appeared before them in regard to
making the. survey and doing other
preliminary work necessary to the
construction of the extension of the
water works system, however, nothing
definite was done in the matter as Mr..
Hollingsworth had not viewed the
proposed work to be done and could
not give an estimate of his charges,
the matter will be taken up next Mon
day night, at which time he will be
able to submit an estimate of his
charges for the proposed work. Mr..
Hollingsworth is well known to many
Lancaster people, having married Miss
Lizzie Huffman, a daughter of the
late DIR. Huffman.

Fana Mentioned For Delegate To Nat

The Frankfort correspondent of the
Louisville Times says: Representative
John M. Farra, of Garrard, and former
Senator w. w. Bodies, of Spencer,
are being strongly tipped for delegates
from the Eighth Congressional dis
trict to the Democratic National Con-
vention at Baltimore in June next.
They reside at extreme ends of the
district and are located geographically
to command strong support. Col.
Robert G. Evans, of Danville, one of
the best-known Democrats in the
Eighth, is also an avowed aspirant for
the honor of being district delegate
to the Baltimore convention. The
genial Colonel has knack of usually
getting what he goes after and it
would not be unwise to have ''ticket
on him."
