A Truly Coed Man.

Rev. John R. PEBBLES, one time pas
tor of the local Methodist church, and
incidentally one of the best and most
unselfish men we ever knew, was in
Lancaster last week. Bro. PEBBLES is
still following his same old calling,
seeking to do some good for his fellow
men. He is seeking funds to assist
prisoners who are paroled, pardoned or
discharged from the penal institutions
of the state, to re-establish themselves,
secure employment and live better lives
a very laudable purpose, and one for
which no better man could have been
secured than John R. PEBBLES He met
with much encouragement in his under
taking in Lancaster. Mr.. PEBBLES was
mainly instrumental in the building
and establishing the old "Garrard Fe.
male College,, one of the first really
good educational institutions Lancas.
ter ever had. He was also mainly re.
sponsible for the erection of the new
Methodist church at this place. He
now makes his home in Winchester.

Opera House Being Projected.

There is strong talk of building a
play house in Lancaster, and the plan
is being considered by several parties
who are amply able to put their ideas
into execution. We have a splendid
movie" theater. but there is strong
demand for play house here which
will accommodate something a little
stronger occasionally than the picture
show affords, and that at no distant
date the plans will become certainty
is assured. Under present conditions,
if we wish to see production of any
thing like less than rs years old we
must go to either Lexington, Louisville
or Cincinnati, which involves an expense
which not every one can or desires
to stand, while if we had play house
at home which could accommodate
them, we could get circuit of attract
ions which would insure US seeing at
least one good show each month during
the season.

COlored Boy Dangerously Wounded By
Companion.

Letcher Ambrose. locally known as
"Bad eye" and Morgan Mullins, two
colored youths about fifteen years of
age, took days outing at Dix river on
a fishing expedition last week; they
took with them a double barrel shot
gun, and on their return trip Ambrose
pointed the gun at Mullins and pulled
the trigger, not thinking the gun was
loaded. 1t is the same old story of the
gun that was not loaded. Mullins had
his left shoulder torn away. his chin
badly lacerated and the load lodged in
his cheek, and he lies in a critical
condition at the home of his mother on
"the chute.

Rev Morgan Seeks New Field.

Rev D. W. Morgan who was recently
called by the congregation of the local
Baptist church to the pastorate of the
church, has sought new fields for his
labors. Rev. Morgan let it be known
recently that he had since accepting
the call at this place received call to
a church in Texas at a much smaller
salary than he was receiving here, and
at the time expressed his intention of
refusing the latter call. He gave as
the reason for abandoning the local
charge that one of his children had
been pronounced by physicians to be
in tubercular condition, and that his
wife was not in the best of heath and
he deemed it advisable because Of the
health of his family to seek a mildel
climate. He will locate in Texas.

He Will Put Water Into Watermelons.

Did you ever hear man assert that
he was the man who put the water
into watermelons"? Well a Lincoln
county man proposes to do this very
thing. A Lincoln man named Blackerby
proposes by means of surgery to assist
nature in maturing the luscious rattle
snake" and Georgia Sweet. His plan
is to make an incision in the vine after
the small melons have made their
appearance; the incision is to be made
just above the small melon, and into
this incision will be inserted a yarn
string, the other end to rest in can of
water, and it is intended that the young
melon will take Its uourishment by this
means. If this operation proves a
success, Mr.. BLACKBERRY will have put
Luther Burbank to shame.

DR.. Pontius Buys Machine.

DR.. R. L. Pontius has purchased of
Bristow Conn what is known as his
''skeeter machine. 1t is one of Bris'
own building, taking as a basis the
running gear of an old Ford runabout
and adding parts taken from numerous
other machines, which when assembled
made, if not thing of beauty, most
assuredly one of the "runningest"
cars in this part of the country. The
vehicle takes hill as easily as down
grade, and we verify believe that should
an emergency necessitate it, would
climb a telegraph pole.

Probable improvement To Public Square

The placing of handsome concrete
walks about the Public Square bids
fair to prove similar to the case of the
good lady who put down handsome new
carpets in an old house and then found
she must have a new house to cores
pond with the carpets; we will very
much need new square to correspond
with the sidewalks. The improvement
of the square is being seriously discuss
ed, and something along this line will
undoubtedly be done when the side
walks are completed, just what will
depend entirely upon the means avail
able. Two plans are under discussion,
one is to treat the square in the same
manner that the public roads of the coun
ty are being treated, the use of macadam
put down with the county machinery;
the other is to pave it with vitrifed
brick, or some equally as substantial
substance.
A movement is also on foot to estab-
lish ornamental lights about the square
the installation of which will probably
be borne by the merchants and bust
ness men about town.

Cincinnati Excursion No. 3.

The third Sunday excursion of the
season was run to Cincinnati on last
Sunday and about forty five local people
took advantage of it. We fear they
will have rather tiresome trip of it, as
because of the street car strike in Gin
cinnati, they will not be able to visit
the Zoo" Chester Park" and the
ball game, and will have to be satisfied
with Fountain Square, which is in walk
ing distance of the depot. and where
they may witness the crowds and sights

The Tobacco Situation.

There is great cry going up over
the county because of the scarcity of
tobacco plants and it looks very much
like the immense crop which looked
probable this year will be in some
measure curtailek because of the
scarcity of plants. Tee shortage is due
to the cool spring and the recent dry
weather which we have experienced.
Ve1y few of the plants are yet ready
for setting, backward, and it will be
some time yet before tobacco setting
will be in full swing. However, in
some instances, farmers who are more
fortunate took advantage to the recent
showers and set several acres of their
crops.

Blue Grass Seed Crop A Failue.

The crop of blue grass seed. which
last year was an unprecedented one, is
almost complete failure this year.
The few weeks drought coming at a
critical period for the seed is the cause.
Some farmers are estimating that
there will not be one tenth crop, and
while this may be little overdrawn,
still it is known that the crop is
extremely short. Stripping will begin
in few weeks and local dealers who
are accustomed to gathering several
thousand bushels are anticipating not
over one third the usual yield.

Carard County Land Nets $500. Per Acre.

Mr.. Webb R. Kelly, one of the most
progressive farmers and tobacco raisers
of the county, and who owns farm on
the Kirksville pike, raised crop of to-
bacco on five acres of land last year
from which he realized s17OO. He
estimates that the crop cost him about
$500. which leaves him net profit of
$780,, or $500. per acre. And yet there
are those who will say that 500 per
acre is too high for Garrard county
farming land. Mr.. Kelly will raise an
experimental crop of one acre of tobac-
co this year, keeping accurate account
of the exact cost and will then be able
to exactly state just how much he re-
allies there from.
