BUSINESS CLUB
Organized to Interest Foreign
Capital and Boost Bowl
ing Green.

The business men of Bowling
Green organized a club last week
for the purpose of inviting foreign
capital and boosting the city. It's
all right to boost and not hard to do,
but when it comes to getting out
side capital the club will find it an
uphill job. Hopkinsville finds that
home capital is always available,
while men who want to come here
and establish shoe, button, overall,
glove and other factories want the
people to put up the money. There's
nothing like home enterprise to
build up town.

More High StepperS Will Be
Due To PennyrOyal
Fair.
REPUTATION TO BE RECLAIMED
Two Equine Beauties Have
Just Arrived From
New York.

Christian county used to have a
reputation for fine horses. With
the passing of the county fair breed
ers gradually became negligent
alcng the line of raising fine horses
and finally lapsed into indifference
until a really pretty riding or driv-
ing horse was hardly ever seen.
Then came the automobile which
claimed everybody's attention and
riding and driving stock seemed in
fair way of being supplanted alto
gether by the big touring car and
the runabout.
This paper predicted, when the
question of the Pennyroyal Fair was
being agitated some months ago.
that return to the old-time cOun-
try fair meant a return to the breed
ing and raising of fine horses and
mules, animals that would bring
fancy prices because they were
from Christian county. y"
The statement is already being
verified. No sooner did Williams &
Radford lose their fine stallion
Cyclades by death than they begar
casting about for a successor, with
the result that 'Zeus." acknowledge
/ ed by turfmen to be one of the bes
stations in this country, is now OF
the stock farm of his owners, ad
joining the fair grounds, and every
day has a large number Of caller
who want to size him up. And he il
already, after a tiresome trip from
Europe Ave. New York, showing VI
in fine condition. He is a beauty
and his owners are justly very PROUD
of him. He is all right as to style
breeding and movement and much
will be expected of his progeny.
But this is not all that goes to
verify this papers statement. Lu'
clan Cayce. an automobilist and the
biggest seller of buggies in this neck
of the woods. and the last man we
would have expected to catch "the
horse fever" actually has it, and
has it bad. He is going to help re-
store Christian county's reputation
for fine horses. and his first step in
that direction was to invest 81 900 in
"Our Hannah" at the sale in New
York. The royal blood that course:
through Our Hannah's veins entities
her to an apartment in Zues' cal
and she made the trip with him from
New York and is now being petted
by Mr.. Cayce and admired by lovers
of horse flesh.
This is only the beginning of re-
turn to fine breeding and a reviva
of our past reputation.

When Mark Twain Was a Deck
Hand and Unknown
To Fame.
COUSIN OF JAMES HAMPTON,
Who Was Original of Twain'S
Great "COl. Mulberry
Sellers"

Mr.. and. Mrs Henry Wiser, of Garth
age. Mo-, were the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Gus Bresthitt last week.
They went to Clarksville Sunday to
visit sister of Mr.. Wiser.
Mr.. and Mrs. Viser's visit here
leads our older citizens back to the
days when Mark Twain, Americas
greatest humorist, was unknown. 1t
is not generally known that the orig
inal of Mark Twain's great charac-
ter, "Col. Mulberry Sellers" was
James hampton, who was a citizen
of Hopkinsville a short time before
the beginning Of the war between
the States. Mr.. Hampton was a
cousin of Mark Twain Samuel Glenn
ents). Mr.. Hampton married a
daughter of DR.. A. Weber, whose
home was in what is today known as
the Weber building, one of the most
pretentious homes of that period, now
an office building and occupied by
Downer & Russell, Ira D. Smith and
other attorneys.
Mrs. Wiser is daughter of James
Hampton and a cousin of Assistant
Postmaster Gus Breathitt and Judge
James Breathitt,. Mr.. Hampton du-
ring his residence here Kept a gun
and hardware store in the two-story
building that stood at Main and
Ninth streets, where the First Ma
tional Bank now stands. His resi-
dence was q two-story frame build
ing which stood on the spot where
Mrs. Annie L. Starling's brick home
now stands.
Before the beginning of the war
Mr.. Hampton moved to st. Louis.
Mark Twain was at that time earn
ing a living as a deck hand on
steamboat. Soon after Mr.. hampton
located in st. Louis the two cousins.
hampton and Clements, began real
ly to become acquainted with each
other not only as cousins, but as
iclose friends. The idiosyncrasies Of
hampton, his full enjoyment of life.
his freedom from the vexations and
apprehensions that are born of high
living and liberal spending regardless
of rather meager income. made 80
great an impression on the mind of
Mark Twain that he immortalized
hampton by giving him the name of
Col. Mulberry Sellers.
Mr.. hampton is still remembered
here by citizens who were girls and
boys at that time. He was tall
straight and handsome man and had
the general appearance of an aristo-
crat, and he was an aristocrat of the
nobler kind. He could get a little
more out of life than most people
and had the reputation of being q
man who never worried about what
tomorrow might bring forth. Eve
rybody was his friend, even the
girls and boys. for he always had a
word or cheer for them. In those
days Hopkinsville was village and
everybody knew every body. a visitor
was a moving curiosity and the
drummer" of today was an un,
known quantity.
