Small Fire at Fred Hannum 5.

An alarm of fire was sounded about
four O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
when the house of Fred B. Hannum
was found 20 be on fire. Mr.. Han
nun IS sons, about 10 and II years
old, were at home alone when they
discovered fire around the stove pipe
in the kitchen. They rang in an alarm,
but the blaze was extinguished in a
short time. The road in front of the
house was crowded with men in a
short time and others on the way
were turned back when word came
that the fire was out.
The wind was blowing a gale at
the time and if the fire had gotten
under headway it probably could not
have been stopped.

EXPRESSIONS ON Mr.. HURTS
CANDIDACY.

Rollin Hurt, of Adair county,
is prosecuting his canvass for the
Democratic nomination for Judge
of the Court of Appeals, in the
district now represented by Judge
]. P. Hobson, of Elizabethtown.
Judge Hobson has made a splen-
did Judge, but if the people of
that district desire a change,
they can do no better than to Sc
lect Rollin Hurt. He measures
up in every way to the high
standard required of a member
of the States supreme bench and
his host of friends in Lincoln and
adjoining counties would rejoice
to see him so honored.-Stanford
Journal.
In the candidacy of Hon, Rollin
Hurt, of Columbia, for Judge of
the Court of Appeals from this
district, his opponents have a
gentleman to reckon with. Mr..
Hurt is one of the noblest Ken
lucky gentlemen in the State and
is admired and esteemed where
ever he is known. His learning
and ability is unquestioned. He
is as strong as he is gentle. His
reputation is simply spotless.
No one can venture to intimate a
doubt of the absolute honesty of
this man who has been in the
eyes of the public for a quarter
of century. Nor can any one
successfully dispute the simple
proposition that in the whole
district no one could be named
for Judge of the Court of APP
peals who is better fitted by ma
ture, by training and experience
at the bar for the duties, digni-
ties and responsibilities of said
office, Mr.. Hurt is just in the
prime of life and would grace
the tribunal to which he aspires
with distinction to himself and
credit to a marked degree to the
district. -Campbellsville Times
Journal.

The announcement Of Hon.
Rollin Hurt, of this city, as a
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Judge in this, the
Bird Appellate district, is received
with as much genuine enthu-
siasm as any candidacy ever had
in this section of country. 1t is
not our disposition Tor purpose
to play to the favor of any local
candidate, for any position, un-
less convinced of his real merit,
but in this instance, were we
prone to eXagerate, it would be
hard to convince the many who
know him throughout South CEN
trail Kentucky, that the truth had
been overstated. Born and rear
ed near Columbia, educated in
the M. & F. High School, he
studied law and was admitted to
the bar about thirty years
ago. Being a man of broad,
natural ability and equipped with
a thorough knowledge of law, he
soon took position in the front
at the bar in this and adjoining
counties which is attested by his
clientage not surpassed by any
lawyer in any country of equal
litigation. The lawyers of the
district and the entire State
know him to be pre-eminently
fitted for the high position he
seeks. AS a citizen he is a plain
man-one of 1.-THE great common
people," dependable under any
and all circumstances with as big
heart as palpitates in human
breast. AS a Democrat he is as
true to principle as any man and
while ready and willing to ad-
vance his party's interest he has
never made himself offensive to
those who opposed. He possesses
the happy faculty of hard-hit-
ter and vote-getter. In fact, he
is the peer of any man as a cam
paigner when the tug of war is
on and will add as many votes to
the cause he represents as any
one in the field of political bat
tie We know him to be law
yer possessing every attribute of
an able, honest, fearless Judge
a Judge who would not b e
swerved from duty by any pow
er of the interests" that too
often WELD an influence over
men of less firmness and less
legal ability. The Democratic
party of this district could not
nominate a stronger man before
the people, they could not name
one more closely allied with the
great body, nor could they elect
one who would be truer, ADLER or
fairer than our distinguished
toWnSman, Rollln Hurt. This
part of the district, comprising
10 or IL counties, his home, and
where he is really, truly known,
will deliver its Democratic votes
in the primary solid for him and
if we mistake not the temper
ment of men and the pulse of
Democracy in this Appellate dis
trict he will occupy the exhaulted
position of Judge of the Court of
Appeals in the regular order of
political events and the Demo-
Gratis will ever feel proud of it.
