Obituaries And Cards Of Thanks Not Free

1t is the custom of all we'll regulated
newspapers to charge five cents per
line for Obituaries and Cards of Thanks.
The Record is not an exception to this
rule. How ever. in the last few years
we have deviated from this rule in
many instances, but we find that we
are compelled to return to the old order
of things, and in future. such notices
will be charged for at the rate of five
cents per line, without exception.
We give a notice of every death which
occurs in the county, which comes to
our notice, free of charge, and should
friends of the deceased desire anything
further than this notice, the above rule
will prevail. We are always, glad to
have data from which to write our
death notices, just as we are glad to
have all other classes of news, and
should it be desired to have a more sx-
tended notice than that compiled from
the data obtainable by US, we shall be
glad to publish it at the above rates.
The Record dolls not stand alone in the
taking of this step, as many other
papere have recently been compelled tc
the same step, as their columns are be.
coming congested with matter of this
kind for which they derive no pay, and
it has therefore become necessary tc
adhere to the rules, which they have

their meaning is borne with convincing
force and clearness to the auditor.
Simple enough for childish comprehen.
sion, yet logical enough to engross the
thought of the most intellectual, his
messages each evening are both in.

Elkiin.

Mr.. Zachariah Elkin died at his home
in the lower end of the county at $50
o'clock Monday morning of the infirmi-
ties incident to old age. His death was
not surprise to his friends and family,
as he had been in feeble health for
some time. After funeral services at
the grave, his remains were inferred at
Winchester on Tuesday afternoon Mr.
Elkin is survived by one brother, Mr..
John Ezekiel Elkin of Winchester, who
is in his 80 year, one daughter, Mrs.
Cecil Beatty of Marcellus, with whom
Mr.. Elkin made his home, and by four
grandchildren, Mr.. Elkin Smith of Win
chester Ind, Andrew Smith of Licking
ton Ky, Mr.. William Smith, of Hyatts-
vile, this county, and Mrs. Henry Nc
Afee, of Marcellus.
The deceased was born in Clark Co.
XIV and was eighty five years of age.
He was sen of Ezekial and Nancy
Elkin. His paternal grandfather was
Baptist minister and preached the
funeral sermon of Nancy Hanks, moth
er of Abraham Lincoln. The deceased
was cousin of Capt. T. A. Elkin and
Mrs. M. D. Hughes of Lancaster and
was related to the extensive Elkin
family of this and adjoining counties.
Mr.. Elkin cane to Garrard from
Clark county nine years ago and pur-
chased the Bright farm, one of the
best farms in the Bryantsville section.
He was quiet. unobstrusive man, and
it was to those who had the pleasure of
his close acquaintance that his many
sterling qualities were best known. A
man of the highest integrity, upright
and honorable with his fellow man in
all of his dealings, he came to be known
and respected as one of the best citizens
of the county, and one whose loss will
lbe deeply felt. Uniting with the

Automobile Season Opens.

Sunday was beautiful day, and as
if by common consent, every one who
could possibly do so was 10y riding.
There were automobiles of every des-
cription to be seen, from the latest
1914 model, self-starter with all the
latest improvements, down to the an
tiquated old relic of Noah's day resur-
rected from the scrap heap, and coaxed
along for mile at time, making
enough noise to scare horse a mile
distant.
The increase in popularity of auto
MODELLING, the decrease in price and the
consequent increase in numbers, has
created less regard for those who pre-
fer, or are forced to other modes of
conveyance, they are shown less con-
sideration than formerly. less regard is
given to their equal rights on the pub
lie highway, all of which will ultimate
ly bring the later mode of travel into
disrepute. In many instances, speed
laws are being utterly disregarded,
and MANY there are who fail to take
into consideration that their reckless
methods are endangering the lives and
properly of other people.
Of course the automobile has its
place and its rights, these have long
since been decided, but the people who
do not use this method of travel also
have their rights, and above all is the
greater right of common courtesy, the
regard for the rights and safety of
your fellowman.
The age is not so far advanced that
every horse you meet is unafraid of a
machine, therefore, autoists should use
due diligence as to the manner in which
they pass or meet vehicles, exercise
due caution that you do not cause a
runaway, which would probably result
in the injury or death of some woman
or child; these precautions wonld take
up very little of your time and might
| result in the saving of human life and
property, and incidentally save yourself
considerable eensure, and probably a
costly damage suit.
! As for the disregard of the speed
flaws andrsekless running in the city
limits Of Lancaster, Supt. Heron will
look after that matter, and continued
! disregard for the laws of the city along
this line will draw you a. warning in

Mr.. 7. B. Robinson Seriously Injured O
C 0 Train While En- Route From
Washington To His Home
In Lancaster.

The community was Mortified on last
Thursday by the intelligence which
reached here that Mr.. T. B. Robinson
was seriously injured in sleeping car
on Chesapeake & Ohio train near
Huntington w. Va. while en- route from
Washington ID. c. to his home in this
city. He was found in his berth by
the porter with a serious cash in his
throat and an open penknife by his side.
Mr.. Robinson was taken from the train
when Huntington was reached and
rushed to hospital where every pos
sible aid was given, and though much
exhausted from loss of blood, the
physicians succeeded in staunching the
flow, made him as comfortable as pos
sible, and it is thought that his recovery
is certainty. AS soon as Mr.. Robin
son has gathered sufficient strength to
travel. he will be brought to his home
in this city. This, it is thought will be
possible the latter part of this week.
His daughter, Mrs. B. D. Herndon, his
brother Mr.. C. A. Robinson and Mr..
Harry Robinson of Danville his son
fastened to his bedside, where they
will remain until he is able to be brought
to his home. Mr.. Robinson. as is well
known, was an applicant for the post
mastership at Lancaster, as are Messrs
John M. Farra, j. R. Mount and E. P.
Brown, and had been to Washington to
prosecute his claims to the office, and
was returning to his home when the
above deplorable accident befell him.

Activity In Fraternal Circles.

Just at present there is considerable
activity in fraternal circles; the Masonic
fraternity are busy comforting the de-
grees upon many new candidates, as
are the Odd Fellows. The latter order
is conducting lively contest for new
members. the lodge is divided into two
sides, the ''reds" and the blues,
each striving to surpass the other as to
the number of new candidates they are
enabled to secure. This does not mean
that the standard of the membership is
to be lowered. upon the contrary man

Full Amount Asked Awarded Plaintiff In
Paint Lick Damage Suit Against
The Louisville & Nashville
R. R. Co. Appeal
Taken.

A jury in the Garrard circuit court
on last Saturday afternoon brought in
a verdict of $1,000, the full amount
asked, for the plaintiff. in the suit of
George Conn against the Louisville and
Nashville R. R. Co. The suit was the
outcome of the big flood in March 1913.
in which much valuable property was
destroyed in Paint Lick, and is one of
several, amounting in the aggregate to
the sum of $4O,75O. The remaining
suits are yet to be tried, but because
of the fact that this is the last week of
court, and the pressing nature of other
matters before the court, they will not
come up. They are of the same nature
of the suit just adjudicated. The YER
dict was signed by only eleven of the
Jury, one of the number dissenting.
The attorneys for the railroad immedi-
ately gave notice of appeal, and the
case will go to the Court of Appeals.
The contention of the plaintiffs In
the case was that the waters of the
creek, which is crossed by the railroad
Immediately east of Paint Lick, were
obstructed by the railroad building
abutments in the channel of the stream,
thus causing the swollen waters to
leave their original channel and flow
through the village of Paint Lick.
Much expert testimony was introduced
by both sides, and much interest has
been manifested in the final outcome
of the litigation.
Mr.. Conn was given judgment for the
full amount sued for. which was $1,000.
instead of $6OOO., as was inadvertently
started IN last weeks Record.
