Ostracise Cans And Rubbish, And White.
Wash.

Now is the time to take glance over
your back yards and devise some plan
to ostracise the cans and rubbish which
have accumulated. You can generally
judge of the occupants of a house by
the condition in which the front and
back yards are kept. Home and its
surroundings above all places in the
world should be scrupulously guarded
against communicating influences. A
lawn planted with ornamental trees,
vines or bright flowers, shows that the
owner thinks life worth living, at any
rate he shows he is enjoying life and
takes pride in his home.
The whitewash season is also ap-
preaching and receipt to make white
wash that will not crumble off may be
of use to some one who read this. 1t
is the formula used by Uncle Sam at
the various government works. Take
ten parts of fresh Stacked line and one
part hydraulic cement, mix well with
salt water and apply thin.

Number OF Storms And Casualties Re
sulting TherefrOm In The Country
Unprecedented.

The Month of March has fairly out
done itself, and the toll exacted by the
heavy wind has been very heavy
throughout the countr,, both in human
life and loss of property. One "twis-
ter" or miniature tornado has followed
rapidly upon the heels of another, each
one little more severe than it's pre-
decessor, and each one leaving death
and devastation in its wake. In
Omaha Neb. on Monday night rs per-
sons were killed and over 200 injured
and the loss to property will reach into
the millions. Reports from all over
the country tell of death and destruc-
ton. Here at home the ravages of
storm and wind have resulted in moth
ing more disastrous than the unroofng
of barn here and there, the breaking
of windows and such minor loss.

Wild Rumors Being Circulated In Regard
To "1he Big DAM, But As Yet
Nothing Definite Is To Be
Learned.

The State press in publishing a
great deal about the proposed dam near
the mouth of Dix river in this county,
or at the line between this and Mercer
counties, but we are very much inclined
to the belief that much of what is
published is merely surmise upon the
part of the newspaper men, or else
someone has been "stringing" them.
Last Thursdays issue of the Courier
Journal contained a lengthy article
under Harrodsburg headline, which
attempted to 60 into details as to the
cost, construction etc of the proposed
dam. One day previous to the
appearance of this article gentleman
who is closely connected with the
proposed enterprise was in Lancaster
and told Record man that we might
look out for such a report, as the
promoters would send men there with a
steam drill to make in engineers
parlance. "core borings", to see how
deep they would have to go for founda-
ton for some of the work, and this
article was probably the basis for the
detailed statement.
The gentlemen who are promoting
this scheme art not giving out any
information in regard to either the
work or the progress of the negotiations,
and then, and not until then will we
attempt to advise the readers of the
Record that the dam is really to be
built, much less attempt to give
details of cost and construction.

The little wooden house where Grover
Cleveland was born attracted distin-
guished company for its dedication as
a permanent memorial to the dead
President. The formal program for it
began with the transfer of purse of
SIT, 610 in payment for the house, pur-
chased by the ''Grover Cleveland
Birthplace Memorial Association
from the trustees of the First Presby-
terian church.
Richard F. Cleveland, the President 8
son, was selected to receive the key
and open the front door, while his Sis
ter, Esther, was chosen as the first of
the official visitors to enter the room
where her father saw the light just
seventy-slx years ago, and decorate it
with flowers. Her mother, now Mrs.
Thomas ]. Preston, was among the
spectators.

Useful Invention.

Mr.. w. M. Watkins of this city has
invented and patented backband that
far surpasses anything we have ever
seen in that line. 1t is so simple, so
easily adjusted and works so perfectly,
it is needless to say that it will find
sale. Mr.. Watkins is genius himself
and his friends are congratulating him
on his latest patent and hoping that
fortune may smile upon him throgh his
efforts in putting this useful article on
the markets. They can be had at any of
the hardware stores at the same price
of other bands.

There was time when it was a
sacrilege to appear in ones new spring
bonnet before Easter. Easter Sunday
was the day on which every butterfly
shed her chrysalis, and hats were COM
monty referred to as Easter hats. "
They were jealousy guarded from all
prying eyes until Easter Morn, when
there was always a pleasurable sensa-
ton of springlng something new on
the world at large. But in this day
and generation, when magazines are
dated months ahead and strawberries
are in market the first of January, the

The public has been greatly mislead
as to the substance and effect of the
recent Federal Legislation upon the
temperance question. 1t has beer
given out that the Webb Bill recently
enacted by Congress does not effect
the shipment of intoxicating liquors
into dry territory in Kentucky. but
since the bill has gotten into the hands
of the public it is found that any COM
mon carrier who receives any intoxi-
cants, either outside of the State or in
the State and delivers them to dry ter.
ritory in any part of Kentucky violates
the Kentucky local option laws and the
Webb Bill prevents such common car
rier from being relieved of the penal
ties prescribed under the local option
laws, by reason of the interstate COM
merce law which formerly prevented
such prosecution. And any person or
corporation who carries or transports
goods from one place to another for
pay is a common carrier. The Bill
that became law is as follows:
BE it enacted by the Senate and the
House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress as
sembled, that the shipment or trans
portation in any manner or by any
means, whatsoever, of any spirituous,
vinous, matted, fermented, or other in
toxicating liquors of any kind, from
one State, territory, or district of the
United States, 80" $50. 80
'or from any foreign
country into any State, territory, or
district of the United States, or place
noncontiguous to, but subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, which said spiritu-
GUS, vinous, matted, fermented, or
other intoxicating liquors intended,
by any person interested therein, TO
BE RECEIVED, possessed, sold, or in
any manner used either in the original
package or otherwise. in violation of
any law of such State, territory, or
district of the United States, or place
noncontiguous to, but subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, it is hereby pro-
hibited."
The bringing into Garrard County by
any express company or railroad COM
pany or private individual for hire of
any intoxicants of any kind, either
from point in the State or from
another State is a violation of the law
and for each offense the penalty upon
conviction is fine of not less tina.
$4,000 nor more than $4,000. This
Bill is great victory for the temper
ance workers of the country and will
greatly limit the use of intoxicants.
1t will be almost impossible to have
liquor delivered into Garrard County
since the enactment of this law used in
connection with the rigid local option
laws already in force in this State.

After much storm and turmoil,
which finally wound up in the courts
in their efforts to establish a Blue

Samuel Judson Roberts Editor Of Lexing
ton Leader Passes To His Reward.

Samuel Judson Roberts, the gifted
editor of the Lexington Leader, intim-
ate friend of the late President McKin-
ley, splendid citizen and elegant gen.
tleman, died at his home in Lexington
at l 80 O'Clock Sunday afternoon after
three weeks illness following slight
operation which was followed by sep
tic poisoning, and later by pneumonia
which resulted in his death. Funeral
services over this beloved and lamented
citizen were held at the family home
on Tuesday afternoon, after which his
remains were placed at rest in the Lex
ington cemetery in lot which but one
short month ago, while driving through
the beautiful City of the Dead with a
friend, struck his fancy, and he re-
marked that it looked like a desirable
spot upon which to be buried and he
believed that he would buy it for his
last resting place. which he did upon
his return to the city, little dreaming
perhaps that he should so soon occupy
the place of his choosing. Mr.. Roberts
was born in Canton o. on February II.
1858. He was married in 1888 to Miss
Anna Trout of Canton o. who survives,
together with his mother who resides
in Canton, two sisters and nalf BROTH
or, Mr.. Grant Roberts of Frankfort.
Mr.. Roberts came to Lexington in
1888. and in May of that year establish
ed the Leader, and within a short time
had planned to celebrate the 25th birth
day of his publication. He served for
twelve years as Internal Revenue Coll
lector at Lexington, his appointment
being one of the first official acts of
President Mckinley.
An answering republican in politics,
he ever yield strong and loyal support
to the faith, he and his paper strongly
advocating the nomination and election
of President Taft in the late campaign.
However, despite his political views he
held the love and esteem of the entire
populace of his adopted city, no more
beautiful or touching tribute could be
found than the one paid him by his late
competitor, Desha Breckenridge, |
through the columns of the Herald. |
Mr.. Roberts was held in the highest
esteem by the newspaper men of the
state, and has served as president of
the Kentucky Press Association.

This brings to our mind the fact that
this well known firm seems to have q
knack of travelling popular statesmen.
Many years ago Clay Hunt travelled
through here for the firm, and he was
known and liked by everyone, and when
he secured an interest in the concel n

secured to succeed him. However.

was personal one to great host of
friends that he had made throughout
the blue grass section, and it was
thought that his loss could surely not
be supplied. However, "Daugh" Ma
ban seems to be, if such thing could
be possible, even more popular than
either of his predecessors, and the peo-
pie are hoping that he may continue on
the road, as they are afraid to take the
chance of securing fourth man who
would be as good a mixer" as the
