To the voters of Livingston

ination petition was presented
to the Secretary of State two
days too late to have my name
printed on the Democrat ballot

ready at the right time. But l

crops have taken most of my
time when l should have been at
work on my petition. | certain
ly appreciate those eight that
signed my petition and others
that promised when same could
be presented to them. Also
those that had pledged their
vote and influence. The time is
now at hand when our people
should be getting their petitions
ready. asking our next Repre-
sentative to vote for laws as of
interest to US.
Yours respectfully,
Burse B. Dunn.

of the Press, the two papers
were consolidated and henseforth
became The Record Press.
In October, 1911, the Marion
News, c. V. Oakley, editor and
publisher, made its appearance.
The paper, not having the hop

LEGATION after years financially
improbable existance. On it's
eaexpifed subscription list many
of'the names were supplied the
Record-P Press free until January
l, 19l3-this being done volnn-
tarily and without compensation
by the editor of this paper.
Though these various publica-

period of its existence. 1t also
has a complete Job Department.
At the time of the establish
ment of the Crittenden Press in
1873, Marion was much smaller
place than the new Marion of
to-day. Then there was no rail-
road, no telegraph Office, no tele-
phones, no banks, no electric
lights, no macadamized streets
and few. if any concrete walks.
While the town possessed the
same refined, wide-awake, in
dustrious citizenship, it contain
ed less than one-fourth the pop
ulation of to-day and none of
the advantage of a thriving
county seat. Though hidden be-
meath our soil lay rich deposits
of minerals. there was at that
time no mines of lead and zinc
and luor spar operated in Crit
tenden county.
Just how far this paper has
been instrumental in bringing
about these improved conditions
is not for us to say. However.
we might call attention to the
fact that no opportunity has been
lost. either by the former or the
present editor, to advance the
interest of the town and county
in every way possible. During
the ten years the present editor

up to its former standard. How

HEAVY LOSS BY
fire AT STURGIS
Whole Business Section Of the Town
is Practically Wiped Out
by Conflagation.
DAMAGES over 100000

Sturgis, KY, July Fire
which broke out here Sunday
night about 9 O'Clock in a ware
house in the rear of Seagraves'
drug store, on the main street
of Sturgis, did damage amount
to about 5000, 900 and wiped out
practically the entire business
section of the city, thirty houses
being destroyed. The loss is
partly covered by insurance.
There is no fire department
here and the citizens organized
a bucket brigade and did their
best to fight the flames. A call
for help was made to Henderson,
Morganfield and Princeton, but
before the fire departments
could respond the fire had burned
itself out. A number of persons
from surrounding towns came to
Sturgis in autos and aided in
fighting the flames.
Of the business houses only
two remain, Winston Bros Dry
Goods Company and the offices
of the West Kentucky Coal Com
pany. Many of the buildings
destroyed were of rather poor
construction, and the owners
and merchants have declared
they would rebuild at once on a
much more elaborate scale.
Though the majority of the
structures destroyed were small,
there were several large build
ings, including the Y. M. c. A,
which was one of the largest in
the State for town the size of
Sturgis, and the drug store of
Seagraves', which was hand
somely equipped. The First
National Band was also a heavy
loser. so far as the building was
concerned, though all its papers
and money were in a fireproof
safe.
No one was injured during the
progress of the flames.
The principal losers were:
Sturgis Dry Goods Company.
Seagraves drug store.
Barker & Perkins restaurant.
Dodd & OMAN, hardware and
furniture.

A RETROSPECTIVE GLANCE.
Thirty-fve years ago-July 10,
187S-The Crittenden Press made
its initial bow to the public. 1t
was established by Messrs R. c.
Walker and c. F. Champion,
both of this city and both young
men just out of school. After a
few issues of the paper Mr..
Champion sold his interest to
Mr.. Walker, who assumed en-
tire control of the publication.
Under the editorship of R. G.
Walker the Press became a
wide-awake newspaper, though
it started out under unfavorable
conditions difficulties that be-
set most new publications. the
want of public confidence. This
was caused by the failure of its
predecessor, the Marion Report

before by Messrs K. H. Adams
and J. j. Nall. principals of
Marion Academy. These gen.
tlemen, though great educators,
were not newspaper men. The
paper was a failure from the
beginning and had a short exist.

A few years later the Marion
Monitor made its appearance be-
fore the public, B. F. Copeland
being the editor and publisher
of the new paper. After a short
and financially unsuccessful run,
Mr.. Copeland sold out to S. c..
Haynes, and at the death of Mr..
Haynes a year later, the paper
passed into the hands of A. C.
Moore and w. S. Adams, still
later to T. ]. Davidson and final

Three Citizens Injured.-Tw o
Others Nearly Drowned
in Fire Well.

of great effort citizens of Dixon
prevented the destruction by fire
of 100000 worth of property
when they kept the flames which
destroyed the building of Bud

er in Dixon, from spreading to
adjoining buildings. The fire
fighting was the greatest ever
witnessed here. Three citizens
were injured. Guy Ramsey,
strained back and bruises; Mar
lin Blackwell, nose badly cut:
Watt Riggs. arm severely cut.
The fire originated in the mil
linery store in the second story
of the Ramsey building. The
fire was discovered about z
o'clock. A call was sent to Pro-
violence asking for aid. Within
twenty-nine minutes an automo-
bile bringing fire hose was driven
over the ten miles of rough
roads by Joseph Justice.
The Providence hose was at
tached to a Howe pump engine
and after a valiant fight lasting
for two hours the adjoining
buildings were saved. The RAM
sey building was a complete loss.
The building owned by Mr. RAM
sey, was valued at $4,000 with
80, 600 insurance. Mrs. ]. R.
Duncan and Mrs. j. l.. Porter
who owned the millinery store,
valued their stock at 81, 200 with
no insurance. The Dixon bank
building was damaged to the
extent of $500 while the tele-
phone exchange loss is about
$500.
Watt Bigg, son of Jailer Biggs,
was on a ladder playing stream
on the fire when a window fell
and he was covered by bits of
falling glass. A long cash was
cut in his right arm which re-
quired a number of stitches.
Guy Ramsey lost his balance
while on a ladder and fell heavi-
ly to the ground, escaping for
tunately without any broken
bones. Marlin Blackwell was
also cut on the face with glass.
While the fire was at it's height
a grim tragedy was narrowly
averted when Aries Bell. an
eleven-vear. old boy fell in well
from which water was being
pumped into the engine. The
lad fell into the well when a
loose stone gave way. The
water was about twelve feet
deep and six or eight feet from
the surface. 1t was too dark to
see the boy in the we'll but his
screams indicated that he was
managing to swim about. Prof.
F. G. Boyd, principal of the
local school, was lowered into
the well by a rope, which broke
while he was defending. Anoth-
err rope was hastily secured and
the two were rescued. The boy
was half strangled,

SOME CONVENIENCES
FOR HOMEMAKERS

The sanitary days are come and the
hygenic baby drinks only from a pro-
phylactic cup. Now another sanitary de-
vice appears. and a very good thing it
is, too. It's a galvanized metal rack
which can be screwed onto the back
door a few feet above the sill. In this
the milkman. who usually appears at
some unearthly early hour, may put the
milk bottles, and thus keep them from
being knocked down by either canine or
feline providers. The rack is fitted with
safety clamps, so that the bottles are
held securely in place. There Is an in
.dicator attached to the rack by which
means can be shown just how much
milk and cream Is wanted. This does
away with the pencil-written missive
tucked away in the neck of the bottle,
which has a way Of disappearing on
windy nights.
Another nice thing is the sanitary
egg-rack for the refrigerator. 1t is a
sheet of white en- ameled metal with cir
cular openings in which the egs can be
placed upright. The metal ends Of the
rack project about an inch above the
tops of the eggs and upon these a plate
or dish may be placed so that the egg
rack itself takes up but very little ROOM

serving will be glad to get the little

quickly attached to the rim of a dish.
bowl, Jar. kettle, or bottle to hold the
spoon which she wants to put down for
a minute or two. These clips allow the
drippings to fall back into the vessel
and keep the spoon just where 1t is
wanted and in position that makes it
easy to get hold of. These time-temper
savers will be in demand during the
preserving season.
