Will Eliminate Dangerous Grade
Crossings.

al meeting of the Bourbon Fiscal
Court Friday proposition submitted
by the Louisville and Nashville road
providing for underpasses at the rail
road, crossings at.EscoudIda and Aus
terlitz stations on the main line of the
road between Paris and Winchester
was accepted. The railroad company
is double tracking the line from Paris
to Winchester which necessitates a
number of changes in the roadbed, and
it was proposed to thelcourt that per-
NIT be granted to do away with the
dangerous grade crossings at these
points.
Judge'Dundon presided at the meet
lag with the following magistrates
present: L. j. Fretwell, R. H. Bur
rls. u. J. Redmon, B. +. Stipp, 0. b.
Lloyd, JohnsN., Shropshire and G. K.

senting the matter to the court the
abroad company agrees to make all

| tion of the underpasss, meet all of the
expenses and 10 drain the roads well at
tae points mentioned, replacing them
In their proper condition, without any
expense to the county.
A proposition submitted by the rail
road company to the court in regard
to changing the course of the Paris
and Clintonville pike at the King farm
near this city was rejected. A COM
Instead of the regular crossing the
company proposes to,construct con-
crete arch at Escodida which will be
sixteen feet wide and twelve feet in
height. In order to provide proper
grade for the railroad tracks it will
be necessary to lower the grade of
the pike at that point from one to two
feet.
In order to get proper headway the
pike at Austerlitz will be lowered dis
tance of three feet and the railroad
company proposes to construct two
concrete abuttments with suitable
tops about fifteen feet apart. In pre-.
mittee appointed to investigate the
changes in the pike near the King
faro was instructed to have a survey
and profile made of the proposed
changes. The committee was in
structed to acquire as much of the
land of the owner of the King farm as
may Oe necessary to change the course
of the road from the present owner,
but in event they could not secure the
land by purchase condemnation pro-
ceedings should at oncesbe entered.

pR. WILEY RESIGNS.

Damned with faint praise from the
nations chief executive, hampered by
reactionary department chief who
has long since outlived his usefulness,
badgered by a pettifogging lawyer Of
| the night-chool variety who, as rep
resentative Of the vicious interests
was able to nullify or render abortive
efforts made in the interest of public
health, DR.. Wiley has given up the
unequal fight and handed in his resig-
nation. Thus retires from the gov
ernment service one of the most useful
officials this country has ever had. An
implacable foe of fraud and deceit, DR.,
Wiley has for years stood between a
more or less helpless public and the
vested interests that have developed
to a science the business of adulterat-
ing foods, sophisticating drugs-thus
in many ways threatening the public
health On every debatable question
regarding the wholesomeness of food
stuffs, DIR. WileyNwas consistently on
the side of the people; his superior OIL
GERS have been just as persistently IN
the side of those who have made their
millions by substituting cheap and
often poisonous drugs for more expen-
sive but wholesome foods. Assailed
from without by some of the most
vicious and corrupt or or
ganizations, he was also antagonized
from within by the political henchmen
of the same organizations. To DR..
Wiley more than to any other one man,
The Journal of the American Medical
Association, the public owes the food

owes whatever of good has been ac-
by that act. 1t is to be

Ancient Schooner.

The second oldest schooner in the
United States is now tied up at Red
Beach, nine miles from Calais, her
home port. She is the Hiram, and
she was built IL years later than the
famous old Polly. Her keel was laid
down at Biddeford In 1919, and since
she was launched the little two-mast-
ed schooner has led a strenuous life
up and down the Atlantic coast. AL
though the vessel has been repaired
time and again, she still has her
original keel and bottom, which are in
good condition. She is 69.5 feet long,;
has gross tonnage c. 67 tons, and
carried a crew of three. For many
years after she was built the Hiram
was commanded by members OF the
Cook family of that city. and she is
now owned by Elmer Mcdonald OF
