it was again though that we should go
to Dix river, but with the amount OF
funds available, S12, 200, which was all
for which bonds could be voted, this
was impossible and the city council
was compelled to do the best they could
with the old plant. In their efforts
they have been peculiarly unfortunate,
and have to use common expression
''got in bad" have made mistakes, but
who of us does not, and there is not a
person but will give them credit for
having done what they thought was for
the best, and to have used the the funds
at their disposal to what they thought
was the best advantage. They are
indeed fortunate, that with their many
misfortunes they yet have funds
remaining sufficient to give to US water
plant that will answer all of our purposes
for many years to come, and if the
time ever comes when we find 1T
inadequate, then may we findit possible
to draw upon the waters of Dix river
to supply our demands.

Good Roads.

lnasmuch as the question of good
roads will be before the next Legisla-
ture for action of some kind, it seems
that the question of a comprehensive
plan should be discussed beforehand.
and by way of suggestion | desire to
present few thoughts on the subject.
That the Legislature should provide
that when any county not heretofore
helped by the state shall construct 10
miles or over of metal or gravel
road of the prescribed grade and width
and depth of metal. when accepted by
the state engineer the state will pay to
said Co, so per cent of said cost, ex-
GLIDING the cost of surveys and right
of way. provided the road is built to
connect with another county seat or to
interseat with an existing road. In
those counties heretofore helped the
state will pay 25 per cent of the cost
under the same conditions. This plan
will be conservative and eliminate
graft as to the best means of raising
the money to pay for the roads. L
may have something to say later.
Respectfully Submitted.
Alex r. Denny.

depth and will have a filtering eapa-
city of 189, 600 gallons every p hours.
The plans for the proposed new filter
have been submitted to Prof. E. H.
Markt, State Sanitary EJsgineer. and
have his approval, and in his opinion
will be wholly adequate to what is re-
quired of it. There is a sufficient am
cunt of money at the disposal of the
Council, which was appropriated by
the sale of bonds, to complete the
work and slight balance left with
which to make some other needed i'm
provements around the water plant.
The City Council have certainly had
no end of trouble over the filter prop
osition, and it is sincerely hoped and
believed that they are now upon a
course which will bring them success
in the matter of purifying the city ;
water supply.

Prof. Waterbury Resigns PriDcipalship OF

Prof. G. L. Waterbury recently tell

Principal of Consolidated School at

Bowling Green KY, has been chosen to

We hope and honestly believe that
the City Council has about reached a
satisfactory solution of problem that
has been thorn in their side since
their induction into office, and which
harasseb their predecessors before
them, namely the proper and adequate
filtering of the city water. The water
works plant in Lancastes, while the
greatest improvement ever made in the
city, and which we could not possibly
get along without, has been source of
much annoyance, to say nothing of
expense, and upon the shoulders of the
city council has rested all the RESPONSE
bility, and upon their heads has fallen
all the blame. 1t is the opinion of many
of our citizens that when the plant was
first constructed that the proper step
to have been taken would have been to
have gone to Dix river, and this is
doubtless true, but they did not, and
that is a matter which is past mending.
When is was determined to increase the
capacity and make other improvements,

Catalogs Out And Woman's Fair An As
sured Success.

In anything that is attempted by the
people of Lancaster their efforts are
usually crowned with success. Such
can be and will be said of the Woman's
Fair that is so near upon US. The head
of each department is working hard to
make hers the most interesting and is
now assuming proportions that the
good women never dreamed of.
A five dollar prize will be given to
the most interesting exhibit, and the
winner is to be decided by the public
who will be entitled to vote, a card fer
that purpose being handed you upor
admission to the grounds. Applications
are coming in every day for entry
blanks from different parts of the
state, in fact quite number from out
of the state, which insures quite a lit
tie competition in every ring. They
have secured Saxton's band of Lexing-
ton, which will undoubtedly add very
much to the entertainment of the
crowd that will always turn out to hear
good music. The Better Babies"
contest is sure to attract many entries.
The prettiest baby is to be superseded
by the healthiest baby. Clothes will cut
no figure in this contest, nor will dim

will be judged by measurement, chest
development, weight, height, muscle,
hand grasp, vision, hearing, observa-
ton and so on. All children between
the ages of and 18nonths are eligible.
As is stated in their Introductory, in
their catalog just issued, the Fair is
given primarily to assist in defraying
the expense of furnishing in suitable
manner, the handsome new school
building in which the Fair Is being
held, and which the promoters of the
exhibition feel that the ladies of the
community should have a share and
part. Another object is to create an
interest in woman's handiwork and to
bring to the notice of the public, the
work of the ladies of the community.
The catalogs are out and can be got
ten by dropping line to the Secretary,
Mrs. Fred P. Frisbie.

Carter.

Mrs. Pauline Carter died at the home
of her nephew George B. Allen in Den
yer Colorado on the Sd inst. Mrs. Car
ter went to Colorado a little over a
year ago for visit to her relatives,
and had often expressed her intention
of returning to Lancaster and spend
ing this summer with her sister Mrs.
]. B. Conn. She was stricken with
paralysis in last March and never fully
recovered.
Mrs. Carter before her marriage to
Mr.. ]. Bynum Carter was Miss Pauline
Allen, a daughter of Granville and
Cynthia Allen of Lincoln county, but
shortly after her marriage moved to
this county and settled near Carriers
vile, where they lived continually un-
til the time of the Death of her esti-
mable husband, which occurred in 1908.
Mrs. Carter was in her sixty ninth
year at the time of her death. She is
survived by one brother Mr.. John T.
Allen of Gainesville, one half brother
Mr.. w. L. Allen of Richm ond Ind. and
two half sisters, Mrs. j. C. Bolton of
Texas and Mrs. j. B. Conn of Lancas-
ter. After funeral services at Chapel
church on last Tuesday conducted by
Rev. R. N. Jordon assisted by Rev. j.
E. Roberts, all that was mortal of this
splendid old lady was placed at rest in
the beautiful little cemetery adjoining
the church.
Mrs. Carter had long been a Jealous
member of the Methodist church and
she had materially assisted her late
husband in the advancement of the
Masters cause in the locality in which
they lived. They were the prime
movers and furnished substantial aid
in the construction of the Chapel in
which both of them took great pride.
Mrs. Carter was a lovable character,
charitable to fault, kind and tender
hearted, good friend and neighbor, she
held the love and esteem of the entire
community in which she had so long
been leading member.

Dangerous Looking Specimens.

Mr.. John Henry who has just return

specimen of tarantula and one of a
centipede which he captured while in

jars of alcohol and are worth inspect
ing. They are venomous looking in

be much safer in cultivating his Gar
rard county farm than chasing either
of these Texas products, as the sting
of either of them is sure and certain

Fathers Love.

We hear about mothers love
In story and in song,
How staunch it is thro' thick and thin
How tender and how strong
How sweet and pure and beautiful
And every word is true,
But what about fathers love
That claims some credit, too.
It's father delves the darkest mine,
And climbs the girders high.
And swings upon the scaffolding
Between the earth and sky,
It's father bends his aching back.
And bows his CRAVING head,
To bear the burdens of the day
And earn the children's bread.
For both must work and both must
plan
And do an equal share,
To rear the little ones the Lord
Has trusted to their care.
And honor to the mother love.
The universe it fills,
But when you praise it don't forget
That father pays the bills.
