To The Jefferson Davis Park
At Fairview Was Made
Recently.
$500 ADDED TO THE FUND
But Very Little Done on The
Stone Wall During
Winter.

Col. c. F. Jarrett went to Louis
vile last Friday. presumably to con-
fer wi h Col. Bennett H. Young
about the Jefferson Davis Park at
Fairview. Thus far but little has
been done toward building the So
inch stone wall to enclose the prem
ises. Only a few rods of the found
alton have been put in during the
past winter, as Col. Jarrett did not
think it we'll to do more and run the
risk of the cement freezing.
The last issue Of the Confederate
Veteran contained the statement
that Mrs. W. j. Beham, who had
charge of the fund that was raised
to erect q magnificent monument to
the memory Of Jefferson Davis at
New Orleans, had diverted the sum
of $700 65 of the fund to the improve
ment of the park at Fairview. The
monument at New Orleans was COM
pleted two years or more ago and
the amount above mentioned was
left after all expenses of erecting
the New Orleans monument had been
paid.
Those having the improvement of
the Fairview park are very much
gratifed for this addition to the i'm
provement fund. IL is said to be the
largest donation received.

4 IL POUND BASS
Taken From Lake Tandy Last
Week.

Claude Clark, Ohio Anderson and
others will have to look to their lau-
rels. Prof. Kuykendall has beaten
them a whole block. Last week while
out in boat on Lake Tandy with a
couple of young ladies. while others
were on the banks fishing. those in
the boat saw duck and a young
! idy fred atit-at least they thought
it was duck. When the Professor
rowed up to the object the young
lady had fired at. it proved to be a
bass, weighing about Al pounds.
There is a good deal of the mys-
terious about Prof. Kuykendall' s
version of the capture of the bass.
as when he got the big fish into the
boat it had a hook in its mouth with
a piece of line attached. but he is of
the opinion that the big fish was
killed by the young lady's shot.
He took the fish home with him to
turn it over to the teacher of science
at Mclean College, who is a taxi
dermist. Unluckily the porter at
the college got hold of the bass and
scaled it. Prof. Kuykendall is TAX
ing care of the head of the fish to
prove to the incredulous that there
are big fish in Lake Tandy. Mr..
Clark has not yet moved out to rhe
lake.

George Hart Wants $500
From James ].
Watts.
WIFE ONLY Is, HUSBAND Is.
The Plaintiff Claims That De-
PENDANT Has Ruined His
Home.

Last Saturday a sensational suit
was filed in the office of the clerk Of
the Circuit Court. The plaintiff is
young man. % years old. He says
the defendant is 10 years of age,
both residents Of this county.
In his petition Hart says that he
and his wife, Casky Hart. were mar
ried only year ago, and that his
wife was only 10 when they were
married. Though she was in hum
bic circumstances when they were
married to him she was bright and
beautiful and as pure as the noun
tain lily. He tenderly loved his girl
wife and loves her still, notwith-
standing she has been lured away
from him by the wiles, Vaccinations
and gold of the defendant.
He further states in his petition
that he ''has done the best for her
that he could in his humble station
in life and that they were living
happily together, and would have so
remained, had not the defendant en-
tered his home with the evil and de-
basing spirit that characterized the
Serpent when he entered the am
brosial bowers of Paradise"
He further says that "said defend
ant, by fair speeches and otherwise,
has prejudiced his said wife against
him and caused her to conceive a
disgust and hatred toward him."
He therefore prays judgment against
the defendant, James 7. Watts, in
the sum of 81, 500 and his costs here
in eXper ded.
The parties all live in the western

OWENSBORO'S MIDDLE
The Minority Members OF The
Council Blocking Business.

The municipal affairs of Owens
boro are in a deplorable condition.
Five members of the council are re-
fusing to attend all meetings Of the
board. The Messenger of last Fri
day contained the severest roast of
the five members Of the board we
have read for many a day. 1t said:
There is not an iota of patriotism
in the action Of the minority. Plain
unadulterated stubborness. selfish
ness and malice are traits that pre-
dominate their action.
They have rot pretended to at
tempt to lower the tax rate in
Greensboro, the city's streets are go
ing 10 ruin, no provision has been
made for oiling the macadam streets,
no provisions have been made for
beautifying and repairing Hickman
park. city warrants remain unpaid.
the entire financial condition of the
city is in tangle-all because five
men fear that the Democratic men,
bers of the council will take action
that would remove a Republican
