Two Old Confederates" Prove Highly
Entertaining.

The Two Old Confederates" delight
ed large audience at the Auditorium
of the High School on last Thursday
night. The old fashioned square dance
with callers accompaniment was one of
the features of the evening. and brought
memories of bygone days to many of
those present, and the patting of feet
through the audience in accompani-
ment to the music sounded like the
tramp of regiment of soldiers. The
two old gentlemen were interesting in
both song and story, and the quartette
of colored men which they carried,
shared the honors equally with them.
The two old soldiers were the recipients
of much kind attention while in Lam
caster, those who wore the blue SEEM
ing to vie with the veal ers of the gray
in making their stay pleasant one.
Capt. William Herndon, and Mr.. Gus
Dunn both of whom espoused the
Union cause during the Civil war, and
Capt. A. T. Anderson, aveteran of both
the Mexican and the Spanish-American
wars, occupied seats of honor on the
stage throughout the performance.

More Fish For kentucky Streams.

Through the fundamentally of Sen
ator James, ten million young fish are
to be placed in Kentucky streams dur
ing this year. Dix river, the best bass
stream in the state, and for that mat
ter in the country, will of course come
in for a liberal share of these fish.
This stream during the last year or
two has been unusually free from the
ravages of seiners, dynamiters and
other illegal means of fishing, and if
this protection can be continued, this
stream will in the next few years come
to be known as one of the best fish
streams in the country. The stream
has all the advantages and environ
ments of mountain stream, and is
particularly adapted to the propagation
of bass and other game fish, and if the
supply which Sen. James proposes to
furnish is given the proper protection,
it will be but matter of few years
when Dix river will again be literally
alive with the gamest fish that inhabit
inland streams.

Very Applicable In Lancaster.

story anent the purchasing of goods
from mail order houses:-
"A farmer who was carrying an ex-
press package from city mail order
house, was accosted by a local mer.
chant: "Why didn't you buy that bill
of goods from me? could have saved
you the express and besides you would
have been patronizing a home store,
which helps pay the taxes and build up
this locality" With characteristic
frankness, the farmer asked: "Why
don't you patronize your home paper
and advertise? / read it and didn't
know you had the goods l have here,
nor do ever see your name in the pap
er inviting one to come to your store. +"

Many Hoping For His Entire Recovery.

MIR John &C. Mayo of Paintsville has
been removed from his home to Gin
cinnati hospital, and notwithstanding
he continues in a delirious condition,
his physicians assert that his condition
is improved and that he will recover.
He is suffering with acute Bright's

a millionaire, he yet believes in making
his money do good to his fellowman.
Even since his recent severe illness he
has given proof of his magnanimous
disposition by offering to cash the
voucher of every Confederate pensioner
in the state without discount. This will
involve the expenditure of something
like 500, 900, upon which he would re-
ceive no interest, and with the present
depleted condition of the state treasury,
no assurance of the amount expended
being refunded to him in the near future,

Stop 1t Boys.

At the entertainment at the Graded
School last week we were sorry to
notice the revival of a once popular and
very dissgreeable custom which thriv-
ed in Lancaster, namely the greeting
of the advent of a young couple in to a
public place by cat calls, whistling and
stamping of feet. This is no doubt
due to thoughtlessness upon the part of
the young people who take part in it,
but it is to say the least of it, very i'll
bred. In addition to this it is a source
of embarrassment to those who are
subjected to it. Suppose for instance,
you were stranger in strange place
and We're to accompany young lady
to a public place. and your arrival by
such N ovstion as was given some
stranger, on last Thursday night,
would you not feel embarrassed. Think
boys before you do such things, and we
are sure you will discontinue such en-
barrassing practices.

All Honor To Them.

Lancaster colored men are natural
fire fighters. 1t was iii great meas
ure due to their noble efforts that the
Presbyterian church on last Sunday
morning was not a complete sacrifice
to the flames. Side by side with the
white men, fighting heroically, tireless-
ly, covered with Ice and water. never
quitting until the last spark was ex-
tinguished. they fought as if their own
property was at stake. Following out
to the minutest detail the orders of
those in authority, and in an intelligent
and effective manner, they rendered
every assistance in their power, and in
a manner which would have done credit
to regular organized fire department.

Garrard County Tobacco Crop.

Conservative men, and those who are
in position to know. estimate that
Garrard county's tobacco crop for 1913
was close to the five million mark.
The acreage, had the conditions been
favorable would have made the crop
far beyond that, but the drought cut
it short. 1t is thought that the aver
age price realized was about IL cents,
however this is hard to arrive at, as
the crop was marketed at so many
different places. The acreage this
year will exceed that of last, and if
conditions prove favorable, tits thought
that there will be at least seven million
pounds raised in the county this year.

Legislatures Days Nearing End.

The Kentucky Legislature will ad-
journ sine die, March 18th, St. Patricks
day, and until that time they will be
just about as busy as the proverbial
bee. UP to now there has only six
measures passed both houses and gone
to the Governor for his signature be-
fore coming laws. The Committee on
Rules will take charge of all legislation
in the House tomorrow, Friday, and
there has been tall scrambling to get
everything IN shape before that august
body takes charge of matters. The
Greene-Glenn bill, the famous Insurance
measure has passed from the hands of
the law makers and is now up to the
Governor, his attitude toward the
measure is not known, but it is the
popular belief that he will give it his
stamp of approval.
Strong hopes are entertained by its
advocates that the Revenue and Taxa
ton measure will pass before the end
of the session. Much interest centers
upon the proposed new form of ap-
preparation, budget measure" being
in process of formation, which will pro-
vide for the dispensing of public funds
in such manner as to keep a complete
and accurate check upon all disburse-
ments. II is said that when this mea-
sure will come before the Legislature
it will show that the Appropriations
Committee has hearkened to the
retrenchment slogsu and has made ar
effort to save money in slldepartments
and to eventually free the state from
debt.

Poor Ice Harvest In Garrard.

Many of our exchanges tell of the
harvesting of splendid quality of ice
during the recent cold snap. There
was very little ice harvested in Garrard,
and what was gathered was of inferiof
quality. only about two inches thick
and with layer of snow incased be-
tween two layers of ice. The streams
were not sufficiently frozen to permit or
gathering ice, and the pond ice was
Indifferent IN quality and thickness.
However, the gathering of ice in this
county is an industry of the past, very
few country people lay in a supply,
because of the fact that the manufac-
tured article is both cheaper and of a
superior quality.

Fire Sunday Morning Damages Presbyter.
ian Church.

Fire Sunday morning damaged the
Presbyterian church to the extent of
several hundred dollars. and it looked
for some time as if the handsome
edifice was doomed to utter destruction,
but willing hands finally succeeded IN
subduing the flames with comparative
ly small loss. The fire broke out just
about the hour for morning services,
just after the closing of the Sunday
School exercises. Smoke was discov-
cred coming from the basement, and
upon investigation a brisk blaze was
discovered in the furnace room, evil
IDENTIFY originating there among a lot
of trash which had collected. The
flames quickly mounted to the church
properly and soon the entire structure
was enveloped in smoke, and it appear
ed to outsiders that the structure was
doomed. However line of hose was
taken through the smoke and flames
and through herculean efforts upon the
the part of the fire fighters, the flames
were subdued. The vestibule and bal
cony were badly injured by fire, and
the entire edifice was more or less
damaged by water. The loss was fully
covered by insurance.
1t has developed since the fire that
the damage was not as great as was
at first apprehended; the vestibule and
balcony, while damaged to some extent,
can be repaired at small cost, and the
! principal damage is to the hot air pipes
which lead from the furnace and which
are of wood, these were burned. 1t
has also been determined that the fire
originated from these wooden conduct
ors becoming overheated and catching
fire.
1t is very fortunate that the fire &C.
Cured just when it did. for had it been
twenty minutes later, the morning ser.
vices would have been III progress, ano
confusion would doubtless have ensued.
There was no semblance of a panic,
the teachers and children who were in
the church were given warning ant
left the church without confusion. The
only accident that accompanied tn.
blaze was to w. C. Humphrey, VIII,
was endesvoring tc extinguish tn,
flames in the furnace room and wa
svercome BY smoke and had to be car
ried from the church.
j Rev. ]. Rockwell Smith and the en-
tire congregation desire to extern
their sincere thanks to the citizens o
the community, and to all who assists
in extinguishing the fire.
