NEXT ATTRACTION
Last Of Regular Course at The
Tabernacle.

Edward Elliott. monoloyist, will
appear at the Tabernacle March 1S,
With the present season Mr.. Elliott
inaugurated his twentieth yearin HE
art Of lenacting stories from the
stage. These years have been de.
voted wholly to his profession. life
work. He takes some play that has
been a great success and credit to
the stage, arranges it into a concise
story told by the characters. These
characters are acted out, made real
living people--no wigs, scenery nor
costumes are employed, but you are
made to see the play as wildly al
most as though acted out by COM
pany of players. You hear it with
an artistic unity, a defniteness of
purpose and in an atmosphere i'm
possible in any stage performance.

The fault finder is always busy.
If you can't smile, grin and bear it.
No one ever falls without knocking

POWDER DEMONSTRATION
Haynes Company will Make a
Test in HOpkinSville.

George H Hsuser, special repre-
sentative Of the Haynes Safety Pow.
der company Of Cleveland. Ohio. was
at the L. e N. Office yesterday ar
ranging for a special train which
will be run from Henderson, KY. to
Hopkinsville. Ky, next week where
h will demonstrate his powder.
Toe train will make all stops, in
order that any one who wishes to
witness the demonstration may do
so without any expense.
The new powder which has been
on the market a little over two
years is the latest invention in high
explosives. The great point in its
favor is that it will explode only
from a spark. A jar of great force
will not set it eff under any circum.
stances. Another way in which it
is different from the ordinary blast.
ing powder is that it will not freeze
and thus the thawing Of dynamite is
eliminated. Another unusual feature
cf Hynesite is that it will not explode
unless it is confined
A test which was satisfactory in
every way was given two weeks ago
at Providence, Ky. The men were
able to return to the room in which
four shots had been fired one minute
after the last one was set eff. There
are no deadly fumes given off by
this explosive. Local operators are
much interested in the new powder
and several tests will be held in this
vicinity soon -Evensville Courier.

train at old Hopkinsvlle and taking
bus, was soon registered at what
afterwards was the Cooper House. ("
The town then had the appearance
of an old dilapidated rookery. Near

On our return trip conditions were

pond spreading over several acres
we had to make quite detour
through the woods. and while doing
so, our driver, who was a raw young
Irishman just over from the old

Pioneer Passes Away.

at his home in Trigg

gan to fear the Mephitis Americana

had grit. So finally the poor little
innocent looking creature lay down
on his hack as good as to say. Well,
you win. I'll surrender on the terms
of honorable warfare i.e., that l be
allowed to retain my side arms. {"
This to the honest Irish youth looked
fair. so rolling his whip around it's
staff he started to pick it up, never
dreaming there could be any treach-

mine-like costume. But alas! there
had been nothing said about conceal
ed weapons. | will venture to say
that if that Irishman is living today
he wouldn't pick lady's lace hand

From The HOgwalOw Kentuckian


The Blind Man from the Calf Ribs
section was over today to see Cricket
Hicks.
Lemuel Henstep died this week in
the Calf Ribs neighborhood. Be-
sides the earth he leaves two child
rem.
The Deputy Constable. who is an
avowed candidate for reelection, was
over at Rye Straw shaking hands
with the voter in that precinct this
week.
Poke Easley has been sent to
Bounding Bilows by his wife after
large wash kettle, which he will
have to pack home. Poke is her Sec
ond husband.
The strange, bulky object that was
seen moving along the road toward
Hogwallow yesterday afternoon has
turned out to be nothing but Column
bus Allsop and his bass fiddle.
Washington Hooks is recuperating
from an overdose of rough-on-rats,
which he took by mistake for salve
few nights ago, and is able to sit
up at the eating table with his cloth
es on.
The editor of the Tickville Tidings
has declared for Bryan in the presi-
Dental race and intends to see to it
that he is elected. All that now re-
mains is the selection of some good
man for vice president.
A lady friend from the Calf Ribs
neighborhood is preparing to arrive
in Hogwallow to be the guest of
Miss Flute Belcher. The visitor
will wear her best clothes and ex-
poets to attract a good deal of favor
able attention.
Somebody raised the window at
the Wild Onion school house Friday
night and stole the supply of red ink.
The identity of the thief is not
known. but let Raj Barlow get tank
ed up on red ink and he is one Of the
finest scribes in this section.
The Mail Carrier is expected now
any day. He left Tickville as usual
four days ago bound for this place,
and if he does not reach here within
the next few days the public will
come to the conclusion that he has
been delayed by some unforeseen
over which he had no
control.
Fit Smith passed through this
place late yesterday evening follow.
ed by a drove of hawgs. He had a
sack Of shelled corn on his shoulder,
and the corn was noticed spilling out
at hole that had been made in one

corner Of the sack by Fit. This is
what might be termed stealing hawgs
under false pretenses.- 81.
/ 1t is reported that Prof. Sap
Spradlen is about to begin literary
labors in the writing of a diary Of
himself, enumerating in particular
the many things he has not done
during the past year. The post
master will supply the writing paper
for this job and has sent off for the
best price on paper in large lots.
Jefferson Potlocks, who raised a
fine crop of broom corn last season,
has finished the work of making it
up into brooms, and started with a
wagon load of them for Thundera-
ton Thursday morning. When in
the proximity of the Gimlet creek
bridge the mules ran away and swept
down the road for several miles be-
fore they could be stopped.
Cricket Hicks has at last attracted
some attention in this community
through his ingenuity in the inven~
ton of patent fly trap, which is ex-
pected to be put into operation with
the opening of the fly season. The
trap is too complicated to describe,
and is so arranged that if fly ever
finds its way inside it gets confused,
and could never in the world get
out. The trap has a main entrance
and also side entrance.
Slim Flinders lit his lantern after
every other honest man had gone to
bed, Tuesday night. and raided a
smokehouse on Musket Ridge. On
the way to the scene he stopped
carefully along the way and covered
up all of his tracks as fast as he
made them, thus making it impos-
sible for him to be tracked, and af-
NSA having lCdClCu lilc SluUhbuOuSe
he turned his lantern down right
soft and low and entered by digging
a hole under the door. After plac-
ing two hawg jowls and a ham in his
sack he was making all necessary
preparations for departure but in
some way the owner of the meat was
awakened, and came in pursuit.
