them by Ma an Pa. A criterion of the
Springs popularity is the fact that
there were three hundred guests

itself insures good dancing. the swim

''EPH." BROWN
APPOINTED POSTMASTER
The APPOINTMENT A POPULAR One.

A telegram from Congressman Harvey
Helm on Wednesday afternoon an
nounced the fact that Mr.. Ephriam P.
Brown had been appointed Postmaster
at Lancaster succeeding Mr.. w. T..
West, whose term of Office expired in
March last.
1t is hardly probable that Mr.. Brown
will be checked into office until about
August as his appointment will have to
go to the Senate for confirmation, after
which he will have to make bond, and
these necessary preliminaries will of a
necessity take considerable time.
The appointment of Mr.. Brown is q
happy ending ola long hard fight for
the Lancaster office. The various
aspirants for the position all had a
more or less strong following, Mr..
Brown having among the strongest,
and while there are many who espoIsed
the candidacy of other aspirants, yet
there can be found no one who was
really opposed to Mr.. Brown having the
appointment, and expressions OF
satisfaction are heard upon every side
at his success.
Ephriam Price Brown was born anG
raised in Garrard county, is Al years
old and has lived here all his life. He
is son of Mrs. Dolly Brown, and il
personally known to nearly every per
son in the county. He is an unswerv
ing democrat, and has often rendered
efficient service to his party. He ser
we'd as deputy postmaster under thu
Cleveland administration, made a yer,
popular and efficient officer, and tn
duties are perfectly familiar to him
Mr.. Brown for the past IA years ha
has been in the employee of Mr.. ]. E
Stormes, and his uniform kindness an,
courteous treatment to everyone ha
made him host of friends throughou
the county to whom his appointment
will be a source of great qualification
| The Record congratulates Mr.. Brow
on his success in securing the appoint
Iment, and the people who patronize tn
Office on the fact that they are to hav
tsuch courteous and efficient official.

BETTER GET A LICENSE.

Every person who drives an automo-
bile not his own must be provided with
'Chauffer's license. and the penalty
for failure to so provide yourself brings
a severe penalty. A state inspector is
liable to hold you up at any time and
demand to see your credentials. Better
write to the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles at Frankfort KY and get an
application blank for a temporary
license, which is sufficient until the
examination is held at your nearest
point. at which time you will be requir-
cd to undergo the test required by the
