usually raises little more than
the amount necessary and this ex-
cess is usually thrown to the gener-
al county fund, and lost to the

ing fund commission In each town
ship whose duty it would be to
look after any excess or deficiency
in the amount reduced by this spe
cial levy and whatever excess is col
lected over the amount necessary to
pay the coupons on such bonds in
any township should be held by
such sinking fund commission in
some solvent bank until the amount
aggregated enough to pay the prin-
cipal of said bonds or some portion
thereof.
We found that there are out
standing against Pickens township
railroad bonds to the amount of
$4,000 which have matured sew
eral years since. These bonds orig
inally bore interest at 7 per: cent
and the county is now paying inter
est on these matured bonds at the
rate of I per cent. We request
that the grand jury recommend that
the county commissioners nave re-
funding bonds issued to take up
these matured bonds and at a lower
rate of interest than is now being
paid.

Stanley Speaks AT Nicholasville.

Congressman A. o. Stanley had made
an appointment to make the opening
speech in the senatorial compaign last
Monday, county court day at Nicholas
vile. before the resolution of congress
providing for the election of U. S. SEN
ators by direct vote of the people had
been ratified by a number of states
sufficient to make the resolution a part
of the cons titution. Mr.. Stanley is
very popular in Jessamine county and
and he was greeted by large crowd Of
enthusiastic admirers. When the hour
for speaking came he stated to the
audiance that the senatorial primary
had been deferred by reason of the
amendment to the Federal constitution
until August 1914 and the appointment
was made when every one thought that
the contest would be settled the coming
August and that he thought best for
every one interested that he should
not raise the issues at so early date.
After short complimentary speech of
the precent Democratic administration
at Washington he turned the crowd
over to the local candidates for county
officers in Jessamine some of whom
presented their claims to their constit-
uents.

Join The Spring Cleaning Ranks.

The City Council has designated next
Tuesday as ''Clean Up Day., and
genuine and thorough cleaning of the
streets, alleys and other property over
which the city has jurisdiction is con-
templated at that time, and all citizens
are also expected to make a general
cleaning of their premises by or on
that day and let the accumulation of
the city's trash and filth be carted
away and the entire city be placed in
as thoroughly sanitary condition as
possible, The Board of Health has is
sued warning notices to the citizens to
clean their premises, and if these
warnings be disregarded, there will be
an enforcement of the laws in that re-
gard. Every citizen in the community
should join cheerfully in this movement
as the health of the entire community
during the coming summer will depend
largely upon the sanitary condition,
and we can i'll afford to take the chance
of an epidemic of disease for the sake
of the small amount'necessary tob ex-
pended in order to comply with the
laws of sanitation.

Pollard.

Miss Ida Pollard died at the home of
relative in indianapolis Ind, on the
18th inst of cardiac asthma and her re-
mains were brought to Lancaster for
interment and were laid to rest beside
her mother and father on last Saturday.
The deceased was born and raised in
Lancaster, the oldest daughter of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. George Pollard, the
latter it will aforementioned lost his life
while member of the Lancaster police
force during the anti blind tiger up
rising few years ago at the hands of
William Humber, who was sentenced
to term in the penetentiary for his
deed, and was afterward pardoned.
Miss Ida Pollard was a bright and
promising young girl, at the time of
her fathers death she was one of the
brightest students of the local High
school; her mothers death from tuber-
culosis quickly followed the demise of
her father, and upon Miss Ida devolved
the care of the family of little children,
trust which she faithfully tried to
execute. Another sister died shortly
afterward of the same dread disease,
and the family then became disrupted,
Miss Ida taking the two younger chill
dren and going to Indianapolis. She
has many relatives in Garrard county
and host of friends in Lancaster who
mourn the ending of a commendable
struggle against adverse circumstances.

Good Natured Rivalry.

At the present time there seems to
be a good natured rivalry between
towns of respectable proportions to
make "OUR TOWN" good place to
live in. On every hand can be found
evidence of this commendable spirit
being fostered in our midst. There is
no room for doubt but that "OUR
TOWN., with the united efforts of its
enterprising citizens, can greatly in
crease in business and enhance the
value of property. Everything indi-
Gates a forward movement. Our ex-
cellent school and churches together
with the high standard of morality
that exists is inducing many to look
this way with view of locating, and
as they are thinking and talking of
coming here let US give them words of
encouragement and hearty welcome to
this goodly land of peace and abun-
dance. Let US unite our industry, in
telligence and capital in common
cause for the good of our town. The
way to build up a community is for
every person in it, who can, to put
some money into industries that give
the people employment, and push the
industries to success. Work creates
wealth, work is the vital power of
prosperity. There are so many ways
to make a town grow. Nature has
showered upon US her choicest bless
ings, and with perfect unity and effort
for the good of our common cause,
great will be the results.

Mr.. ]. P. Prather Announces For Police
Judge.

Mr.. James P. Prather expresses to
the people of the city of Lancaster
through this issue of the Record his
desire to become Police Judge.
Mr. Prather is well known to the
citizens of Lancaster and also to nearly
every man, woman and child in this
and adjoining counties. He is clever,
affable, kind hearted gentleman and if
he should succeed in his desire to don
the ermine, he would doubtless deal
out justice in an even handed and i'm
partial manner, with ''malice toward
none and charity for ALL"
Mr.. Prather has lived in Garrard
county the greater part of his life, and
for the last five or six years has been
a resident and tax payer of the city
of Lancaster, his interests are here, he
has the welfare of the community at
heart, and if elected we have no doubt
but that he would make an efficient Of
ficer.

Game And Fish Commission Plans To In.
crease Scope Of Operations And
Usefulness.

The days of the illegal sportsmen
have passed. hereafter infringements
of the game and fish laws are to be
prosecuted the same as other infringe
ment of other laws upon the statute
books. The Kentucky Game & Fish
Commission in session last week plan
ned renewed activity and a vast in
crease of the scope of territory which
it would cover during the coming year.
The state is to divided into thirty war
den districts with three wardens for
the state-at-large, and this number
supplemented by individual county war
dens and private wardens, it is thought
will be able to bring about a cessation
of infringements of the laws, or at any
rate keep them down to the minimum.
Preparations were also made for the
reception of consignmeuts of fish next
month from the government for the
stocking of the streams.
The revenue derived from gun licen-
ses has been adequate to maintain the
expense of the Commission and Ken
lucky is to be one of the best patrolled
states in the Union and if the Com
mission continues it's success, it will
soon be one of the best game states in
the Union. Garrard county is to have
a warden to look after the fields and
streams of the county, and every
sportsmen in the county should and
doubtless will gladly contribute to this
expense. In addition to this we will
have the benefit of the wardens for the
e-at-large, who are liable to drop
in at any time, and they will have the
advantage of no one knowing their
identity. Besides this Mr.. j. M. Bailey
of Boyle county, who is one of the
best in the state, will give his attention
to the streams which constitutes the
BOUNDARY between this and his county.
With ali of this. protection thrown
around our game and fish, it appears
to US that it would be foolish for any,
one to attempt to violate the law, and
if they do, they will face the
almost inevitable certainty of being
caught in the act.

Dolan A Free Man.

After Clark county jury, sitting in
the fifth trial of Thomas F. Dolan, in
Lexington. had failed to agree, Com

after a conference with the foreman of
the jury, during which he ascertained
that they were hopelessly hung, moved
the court to dismiss Dolan and the
court dismissed him from custoday as
well as the charge against him.
Dolan killed Patrick Mooney in the
lobby of the Leland hotel on April 20,
1911, and has been placed upon trial
for his life five times for his offense.
Mr.. Allen was satisfied that a convic-
tion could not be had and the continued
trials We're costing the state an enor-
nous amount of money.
