Improved Train Service Seems Assured.

If newspaper talk may be taken to
indicate anything, the train service
heretofore outlined in the Record be-
tween Stanford and Lexington, will be
established in the near future. The
new train will start either from STAN
ford or Crab Orchard, from the latter
place to accommodate the immense num-
Der of summer tourists going there,
and run to Lexington, and from there
will take up fast schedule to Cincin-
natl, instead of Knoxville as was mad
vertently stated. The new train will
carry buffet car to and from Lexing-
ton to accommodate those who may de-
sire breakfast and supper on the train,
and will reach Lexington about a. m.
returning reach Lancaster about 9 pm.
will go through to Lexington without
change, and thence on to Cincinnati,
reaching the latter place about 10 a. m.
This echedule if put into effect, which
seems highly probable would prove OF
vast benefit to people living along the
TX. C.

10 Lose Good Citizen.

Mr.. Jesse c. Fox has purchased OF
Mr.. Dan Traylor the old Henry TraylOl
homestead and 1876 acres Of ground,
paying therefor the sum of $12, l25.
This is one of the handsomest and best
appointed residences in Lincoln county
and Mr.. Fox is to be congratulated up
on securing it. We very much regret
to state that he will move to his new
home at once, and while we ale loath
to part company with him and his ex-
cellent family, we can sincerely con-
graduate the people of Lincoln upon
the addition to their citizenship. Mr..
Fox sold small tract of land contain
ing 81 acres, together with a small
house on the Buckeye pike to Mr.. John
7. Henry for $110. per acre.

The Sidewalks.

Mr.. Homer Tinsley is busily engaged
in establishing the grade for the side
walks about the public square, and as
seon as this work is completed, the
actual work of construction will begin,
and before the summer is over there
will be handsome wide concrete walks
around the entire square. Work has
already commenced on some of the
streets and more has been contracted
for, and the entire town will present a
scene of activity with the coming of
settled weather. Many of our citizens
are taking advantage of the vast amount
of excavating being done to grade their
building lots and before long we may
see many handsome new dwellings in
course of construction.

Gavel With Which Judge Hardin viii
Open May Term Of Court.

When Judge Charles A. Hardin opens
Circuit Court here on the first Monday
in May he will use gavel that has
quite an interesting history. This
gavel was sent here last Saturday by
Mr.. E. P. Bunton, formerly of this
county, who was prison guard for
several years and is now connected
with the State Agricultural Department.
The gavel was made from a piece of
the railing in the Court of Appeals
room in the old State House in Frank
fort. The maker was Henry
Montgomery, of Magoffin county, who
is serving life term in the
penitentiary. The knob of the gavel
is of walnut. beautifully grained and
polished, and the handle is of wood
from a sugar tree. The convict who
made the gavel certainly knew his
business and turned out a beautiful
piece of work. 1t was sent to Judge C.
A. Hardin and is now in the custody of
Sheriff Davenport. -Harrodsburg Her

Candidates Busy.

The candidates were busy Monday,
county court day, and there was
scarcely voter from out in the county
who was not buttonholed by one or
more who urged upon him the necessity
of supporting that particular candidate
in the coming August primary. Our
present crop of candidates are an
unusually nice lot of gentleman and it
will dwindle down to a matter of
personal choice between them.

set aside the sum of $1,000. to his wife

Look Out For Thieves.

Petty thieving is going on all around
US. Nieholasville, Richmond, Stanford
and many other towns are the sufferers.
The work in most instances seems to be
that of organized gangs of thieves. We
have had one case here, but it was the
work uf local talent, and the culprit
was promptly caught and is now in the
school of reform. However, there is no
telling when they may swoop down on
Lancaster, aud it is well enough to be
prepared for such emergencies, and the
best way to prepare is to load your shot
gun, a warm reception from which will
discourage future calls.

STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Granny Fox Is Found Out.
By Thornton w. BurgesA
Copyright 1913. by j. G. Lloyd,

Granny Fox is sly and wise
And seldom taken by surprise
But wisdom wrongly put to use
Can never find a good excuse
1t ceases then to wisdom be
But foolishness, as you shall see.
When Granny Fox had gone to Prick
~ Porky the Porcupine with an untrue
story about how Old Man Coyote had
boosted that he would dine on porcupine
the first time he met Prickly Porky, and
had then gone to Old Man Coyote with
an untrue story about how Prickly
Porky had boosted that he would drive
Old Man Coyote out of the Green Forest.
she had thought herself very smart and
clever. She knew that both would be-
come very angry and that they would
be sure to fight the very first time they
met And she was sure that If they did
fight Old Man Coyote would get hurt.
for she suspected that he had never met
Prickly Porky, and SO knew nothing
about his terrible little spears. You
see, what she wanted was to have Old
Man Coyote driven away from tine
Green Forest and the Green Meadows,
for she is afraid of him. and she was
also afraid that he would spoil the
hunting for herself and Reddy Fox.
her cleverness old Granny Fox made
one great mistake. Yes. sir. old Gran
ny Fox made one great mistake You
see she had become so used to being
thought the smartest and cleyerest of
all the little people who live on the
Green Meadows and around the Smiling
Pool and in the Green Forest that she
had come TO believe that there couldn {
be anybody anywhere as smart and
clever as she. That was because she
didn't know Old Man Coyote and
now as she and Reddy Fox watched
tween the wolf and Prckly Porky she
felt a sudden sharp sting in her pride.
Old Man Coyote had proved himself too
smart for Prickly Porky. She ground
her teeth as she heard him laughing fit
to kill himself as he kept out of Pr,ckly
still more as she heard him say:
You will boast that you will drive
me out of the Green Forest will you?
Mr.. Porcupine? The time to brag will
be when you have done it
Prickly Porky stopped short in the
middle of one of his clumsy rushes.
"Boaster and bragger yourself.' he
srunted. You don't seem TO be din
ing on Porcupne the first time We've
met, Why don't you? Why don't you
make your own boast good?'
Old Man Coyote stopped laughing and
pricked up his ears.
What's that ne demayded: What's
lie, Mr.. Porcupne.'
NO more than they have yours Mr.
Coyote replied tricky Porky. letting
his thousand little spears drop part way
back into his coat But old Granny
'Ha! So It was Granny Fox inter
rupted Old Man Coyote. so ii was old
Granny Fox. Well, ii was the same old
