What's the Matter with Mad
ison?

The Sun, in its Monday issue,
reprinted an article from the
Richmond Register compliment
ing the County Judges of Jessa-
mine, Clark and Fayette counties.
The Registers article stated that
Jessamine county is in the best
financial condition of any county
in the state.
Judge Evans informs The Sun
that Jessamine county has no
surplus, while Clark county has d
surplus of 100000. Jessamine
is also running on a so cent tax
rate, while Clark county's rate is
40 cents.
All of which goes to show that
Clark county always is right up
at the top in the good things
and generally a little bit ahead.
And as for Judge Evans, there
isn't a better County Judge in all
Kentucky. Winchester Sun.

Miss Quisenberry's Recital

On FRIDAY evening in the Aud
itorium of Caldwell High School,
the public was given a very de-
lightful entertainment by Miss
Quisenberrys class in Music. Sci
dom has it been our pleasure to
hear finer rendering of difficult
compositions than by some of
the little folks on the programme.
Tabitha Cobb, possibly eleven
years of age, played Largo (Han-
deb and Sonata op. 40 (Beetho-
ven) in a manner really surpris-
ing. Misses Dorothy and Louise
Terrill were among the youngest
in the class and both acquitted
themselves beautifully.
Miss Christine Sandlin, Miss
Rose Pearlman and Miss Eliza
beth Best, the more advanced
pupils, gave several numbers by
Bugbee, MacDowall and Hol-
lander which were greatly en-
joyed.
The two vocal numbers by
Misses Cynthia Dawson and Car
RE Altman were lovely and gave
promise of greater things here
after; both voices were unusually
sweet and clear
And now the Orchestra, pc:
sibly we have saved the best fol
the last; for indeed, no city O.
this size can boast of better
music than was heard on Frida,
evening: Violinist, Joe Guin
chigliani; Cornetist, Chas. Stani
fer; Drums, Nelson Elder ant
Frank Devore and Miss Quisen
berry, Pianist. Those who have
heard the latter, know the beaut,
of her playing, her technique i
faultless, her tone charmingl
poetic.
Summing up the entertainment
as whole, it was a success, AM
we tender our congratulations t

George, in Lexington on Friday,

a more genial, kindhearted old
couple have never lived in our

of age and had spent the greater
portion of his life here and al
ways identified himself with the
interests of the place.
His death marks the passing
of an upright honest man, a kind
