CONNECTION
With HOpkinSville'S Electric
Current Already an As
Sured Fact.
TRENTON TO BE REACHED
Public Service Co. Making Long
Reach For More Bust
ness
TRENTON TO Be REACHED

A contract has been entered into
by which our progressive neighbor,
Pembroke, is to have her streets and
residences lighted by electricity from
HopkinsviIe. The Public Service
Company, next month will finish put
ting up the poles and wires and in a
short time the Pembroke local plant
will be out of service.
But this will not be all that should
be done nor all that will be done.
rhe service can easily be utilized by
the farmers living along the road
followed by the Public Service Co.,
as the electric current can be de-
flected from the main line to their
homes, and the electric bulbs will
take the place of the old-time lamp.
And further: 1t Will not be long,
probably, before the City Water Co
may find i'd profitable to lay its mains
from here Pembroke and thus not
only furnish e citizens of Pembroke
with water their homes but also
give them q portunity of having
ample prot6 ,on from fire. If ever
a town has needed fire department
it is Pembroke. 1t has probably had
more destructive fires than any place
of the same population in Kentucky.
The people see the need of it and
they are enterprising enough to get
it where it is considered practicable.
1t may prove to be economical to
have water from Hopkinsvllle, even
though a stand pipe should have to
be built to get the necessary pres
sure. Many of the Pembroke people
have water in their homes already,
but the supply for fire. fighting is not
sufficient.
And who knows but that the Ker-
lucky Public Service Co. may lay Its
gas pipes to Pembroke and supply
the citizens, many Of whom are using
oil stoves. for cooking? The comp
any is considered fully able financial
ly to carry out any plans that it may
consider profitable.
1t seems to be the purpose of the
Public Service Co. to also run its
electric wires into Trenton and light
up that place. In other words. the
company is to reach long distance
to secure more business. This is
commendable and ought to have been
done many. many years ago 1t
doubtless would have been done if
the original electric light company
had been able.
Somebody may ask Of what bene-
fit will all this be to Hopkinsville?
In carrying out plans already agreed
upon the Public Service Co. will UNI
doubtedly find it necessary to put in
a much larger plant than the one
now in use. That means much for
this city. The capacity Of the plant
in use is already taxed to its full
capacity, and largely increased SER
vice will require more power.

Letter From Siam
Nan, Siam. August 1o 1af2

We have had rather a miserable
household this week and last. Last
week, Mr.. Palmer was in bed for
several days with boil on his side
and one in his ear. The day after
he got up, Mrs. Palmer was taken in
with fever and we were little anx-
ious about her for a time. But to-
day she has very little fever. though
she is still in bed. 1t is the first time
she has had fever since she came to
this country. Mr.. McCluskey and l
have kept vel, however. There fs
a great deal of fever and colds, ow-
ing to the incessant rains of the past
two weeks. / have been dosing the.
girls very literally with ouinine.
This morning, some of the school,
boys came running over to Mr..
Palmer, saying that one of the boys
had fallen. So Mr.. Palmer went oy-
er, and found that he had had a con-
vulsion. He h d had fever for some
days, but was going around. He is
better now. None Of the Q iris have
been seriously ill.,
The Peoples boats came up We'd
nesday, after having been on the
water twenty-six days. It took me
only ten DAYS, so you can imagine
the water was very bad. Sometimes
they couldn't go all day long, the
water was so high, and they would
have to wait for it to run down. The.
only way they could get al ng was
by hugging the bank, and using the
bank and the bushes to get them
along. The water was so deep, they
couldn't touch the bottom with their
poles. The last Of my goods came from
.Chieng Mai in these boats, and we
were all afraid my books would be
ruined. However, only one box of
provisions had little mud in it, and
the books were as dry as a bone.
When the Palmers came up, one of
their boats went to the bottom and
stayed there for twelve hours. So
many of their wedding presents
were ruined. They still have dry
goods marked with the red from a
silk pillow that was given TO them.
All the Whites books were ruined
by the sinking of boat, " hen they
came up; so feel that l have much
for which to be thankful, that got
mine safely.

Saturday in Kentucky River
While Bathing At Frank
fort.
FUNERAL TO-DAY AT 10 A. M.
Body Was Under Water For
An Hour After Going
Down.

Faxon arrived here yesterday morn
ing at $50 and were taken to the
home of Mr.. Gabe Payne, her broth
er-Iaw. Funeral services will be held
at the Christian church this morn
ing at 10 o'clock. Interment in
Riverside Cemetery.
Miss Faxon's death by drowning
Saturday afternoon, about A o'clock,
in Kentucky river at Frankfort,
caused a great shock to her many
friends and aquaintances here. The
first intelligence of her untimely and
unexpected death was received here
a few minutes after her dody had
been recovered.
Miss Faxon, who had been taking
swimming lessons for a few days.
and young lady friend were in the
river bathing. Miss Faxon's CON-
panion was Miss Elizabeth Cutter.
At the request of the young ladies
Mr.. George Enright had carried
them 10 his boat about a mile above
the city, on the opposite side of the
river, where the stream was shallow,
sand-bar having been formed there
during the heavy and continuous
rains in the early spring.
Miss Faxon was not strong physic-
ally and had not become an expert
at swimming. Miss Cutter could not
swim. While standing on the shore
a launch passed and the young ladies
waded into the stream to the hem of
their skirts in order to catch the
spray cast by the rolling waves from
the launch. The par t lie on the
launch did not dream of the young
ladies being in danger and mistook
their signs for help as salute.
Mr. Enright, who was riding the
waves in his boat. saw the signals
and saw Miss Cutter sink and went
to her assistance at once and saved
her. Knowing that Miss Faxon could
swim he gave most of his attention
to Miss Cutter. who was resuscitated
after being taken to the shore.
Miss Faxon's body was recovered
about an hour after she went down.
The general accepted theory at
Frankfort is that. says the State
Journal. the action of the waves
washed the sand from beneath the
young ladies' feet and their danger
signals being mistaken for a salute.
prevented those who might have res
cued both of them, from going to
their aid sooner.
Miss Faxon was born and reared
here and was % years of age. She
was graduate of the City High
School and was considered one of
the most efficient stenographers in
the city up to the time she left here
and took a position in the Office of
the Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion. Mr.. Hamlet gave her a good
position in his Office because of her
efficiency and general intelligence
and ability to handle affairs that re-
CURED experience. She had just
completed her arrangements to go
to Guthrie and spend part of her
annual vacation with her mother.
Mrs. |. d. Roffner. Later she was
to visit her sister. Mrs. Gabe Payne.
for time. She had an entirely
new wardrobe and had laid it out for
packing In her trunk before going
out with Miss Cutter for swim in
the river. and with girl-iike joy told
her friend she had sixteen new dress
es TO wear during vacation.
