PENNYROYAL FAIR.
Committee Had Most EnthuSi-
aStic Meeting Thursday.

One of the most active men on the
committee soliciting subscriptions
for the Pennyroyal Fair stated that
the meeting held last Thursday was
one of the best attended and most
enthusiastic yet held. The amount
yet to be secured in the way of sub
scriptions is only $500 and there is
no reason why that amount should
not be easily procured by the time
the committee meets on the 4th day
Of February.
Christian county needs the fair.
The farmers win be the real bene-
ficiaries. To keep up with the pro-
gress Of the time we must have it..
II other counties. less progressive
than Christian. have found them
profitable in every way why should
not our own county? The farmers

part the city will do its part. Can
anybody successfully disprove thu
-o-ve assertion?

AGED TOBACCONIST
Kills Himself Because He Is
Short OF Funds.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, January 49,
Thomas Harvey. a prominent tobac.
conist. committed suicide at an early
hour yesterday by drinking poison.
Mr.. Harvey for few days past had
been low spirited. as he stated to
friends. because he feared he would
be unable to meet a premium soon
due on a insurance policy. Monday
afternoon he told two of his friends
that he preferred death to a failure
to meet his payment and had
thought of killing himself. These
friends joked over the affair and
left him late in the evening, believ-
ing he would think no more Of the
matter. He retired for the night
and drank poison, which soon did
its work. Mr.. Harvey was 72 years
old and had been a resident of
Clarksville more than forty years,
being all the time in the tobacco
business, in which he made a good
deal Of money for many years. He
is survived by wife and one son,
the son being resident of Coving-
ton, KY.

In the meantime, alarmed by the

The bill provides that such pools

soon. will be asked to press the mat

GAME WARDEN
To Be Appointed At Once For
This County.

S. W. Limbaugh. special agent Of
the State Game and Fish Commis-
sion, was in Hopkinsville this week
looking after matters connected
with that department and up to this
time Christian county has had no
game warden, but one will be APP
pointed at once.
There is as live and progressive
a lot Of sportsmen in Hopkinsyille
as anywhere in the State and Mr..
Limbaugh says he finds a strong
sentiment in favor of game and fish
protection and the rigid enforce
ment OF the law" in speaking of the
matter to the Kentuckian. 81 was
a little surprised to find, however.
that only FIVE hunters licenses had
been issued for the present year in
this county. In other words, in ALI
or Christian county there are but
i've persons who can hunt legally
except on their own or adjoining
lands"
1t will be the duty of the warden.
among other things to see that all
hunters have license. Violators Of
this law are subject to a fine of $50
to $500. so it may be rather expen.
