not long since. bought 4-acre lot
from Williams & Radford. short
distance beyond the city limits and
is going to builda handsome modern
home thereon. He is nov la, ing
pipe to connect with that of the City
Water Co. and will have at least one
of the advantages enjoyed by people
living in the city. Mr.. Claggett is
progressive. industrious man, but
il the city keeps its present pace
about the time another census year
r. lis round he will be in town.
A post card, having the words
"HopkinsvilIe. The Only Town on
the Map" has been used by some Of
our business men more or less dur
ing about year. Pity it is that
mcre we're not used. and it is not too
late TO begin now. The one who de-
signed the card probably did not
know that he was stating what was
ready the truth when he printed the
words. HopkinsviIle. KY, is theon
ly Hopkinsvile on the map of the
United States that we have seen.
We are borne out in our statement
by the following fact:
A man doing business on East
Ninth street not very long since re-
ceived letter from a relative or
friend in Germany. The writer of
the letter seems not to have known
in what state of the Union Hopkins
vile was and addressed 1t to-"Hop-
kinsville, America" and the letter
reached the one it was intended for
without delay.
For two years or more friends of
Bob" Woodbridge have been look
ing for him to make his debut as an
automobile owner, but he has failed
to materialize as such. His only re-
ply to the question as to when he
would get his car has been that the
factory has not yet made it. He
seems in no great hurry to getit and
the reason doubtless is that he has
one of the best horses that ever
moved under saddle. Though the
motor which is fast supplanting the
horse in this as we'll as most other
sections of the country, many of our
people who delight in horseback rid
ing own magnlficen t animals.
Among them are John Fl. Bell, Dav-
id Morgan, Herman Southall and
others. while there are several in
the county who drive fine spans. AS
to horses for family driving. there is
large number. which, though
minus style, are almost invaluable on
account of their other splendid quail
tiles. A lady from the South stated
not long since there were more fine
horses in Hopkinsville than any 9TH
er place she had ever visited.
Wonder if the people of Pembroke
and vicinity will give horse show
this year, They were rained out
last year. but they are a class of
people not liable to be showed under
or rained out. If they are going to
be lin it, again this year il is about
time they were making it known.
As lovers and raisers of fine horse
flesh they are known far and wide. |
As "The Good Old Summer Time"
is drawing near the preachers are
beginning to think about taking va
cation (and so are the church people.
too Rev. H. D. Smith, Of the
Christian church will most probably
remain in the city. but it is useless
to say that it will not be an idle sum-
mer with him. He can't be idle.
Life is too short and time too valua-
BILE for that. Mclean College has to
be built in three months and how
can it be done with DR.. Smith not
here? Impossible. 1t is said. how
ever. that he contemplates stealing
away next summer for trip to the
Holy Land. Who can get more
out of visit there than DR., Smith?
Rev T. n II Rranch will visit his
