Bunch Of Dusky Gamblers,

jacksonville, KY, Aug, II, -
Jack Doris, a negro, fell out of
a tree, just outside of the fair
grounds at Providence, and sew
erely injured himself. Doris
had climed the oak tree and was
out on a limb watching the pro-
ceedings over in the grounds. A
race was called and Doris went
up higher to get a better view,
and as the horses were coming
down the home stretch he be-
came wild and began to yell and
jump up and down on the limb,
when it broke, causing him to
fall into a bunch of negroes that
were shooting craps, knocking
two of the men unconscious, be-
sides injuring himself.
When Doris fell into the
game in such an absurd manner
there came near being a free
for-all fight. but when matters
became known medical aid was
given the injured.

Shocked.

One of our oldest and most
highly respected citizens called
in our office one morning recent
ly and suggested that we call
attention to the way some of our
girls appear dressed, on the
streets, in transparent tight
skirts causing remarks to be
made very uncomplimentsry to
our City. Fathers and mothers
are surely overlooking this. Men
and boys congregate on the
streets of mornings and even
ings looking and making re.
marks too disgraceful to repeat
so this caller stated to us. Well
boys will be boys and we do not
believe the modest and refined
womanhood and girlhood of our
city will invite their criticisms.

Five girls in a touring car lost on
the prairie between Muscogee and
Chesla last night were caught in
a big cattle herd which held them
prisoners until daylight, when
the cattle separated. The girls
were May McSpadden, Lizzie

AS a lark, the girls decided to
drive from Fuckers ranch to
Muscogee, sixty miles. They
lost the road and darkness caught
them cd a prairie. The motor
went dead and the big herd of
cattle began to gather around
the machine. There were thous.
ands in the herd. The fright
ened girls spent a night of ter
ror. The cattle were jammed so
close to the car that at times the
sides were almost crushed. The
cattle dispersed after daylight,
the car was started with the aid
of a herdsman and the girls

ELLIOTT WILL TRY
To SELL TOBACCO
Rumor That President Of the Az
ISOLATION Will Go to
Europe Soon.

None of the last years priced
tobacco of the Stemming District
Tobacco Association has been
sold according to statement of
William Elliott, manager, says
the Henderson Journal.
The report has been current
on the street for several days
that part of all of the associa-
tons holdings had been sold,
which according to the state
ment of Mr.. Elliott, is incorrect.
Mr.. Elliott, when questioned
further in regard to a sale of all
or part of the last years crop,
gave the information that the
committee had had a bid on the
tobacco, but the price offered
was not enough to induce the
committee 70 make a sale. How
ever, he said the price offered
was as good as the price offered
last winter.
Mr.. Elliott stated further that
some one would be sent to Euro.
pc within few weeks for the
purpose of trying to make a sale
of the tobacco now on hand. In
answer to the query if he was
not the man that would go to
Europe to look after the sale, he
replied, Il do not know"
The outlook seems to be favor
able for an early sale of the re-
mainder of the tobacco now on
hand, which will be good news

as well.
