The excitement from the big fire we
had in town has about died down and
the people are getting back to business
as usual. The ones who lost in the fire
are very grateful to those who fought
so hard To save their homes, but it was
partly in vain. King Huston, Jerry
Toombs and Cleo Thomas, as well as
all the rest, want to take this means OF
thanking the good people for the hard
fight they put up and they want to as
sure every one it was deeply appre-
ciated from the depths of their hearts
One of the hardest fights that has been
known with the bucket brigade here
that was ever witnessed and we. as
citizens of this town want to especially
thank the good people OF Hustonville
for their help and quick response to our
call for help, and we hope the time will
come when we can return the kind
ness. but we hope it will not be in the
same way.

the attractive guest of the Misses Beck

MANY WANT TO GO TO WAR
Judge Dawson Gets Many Applicants
From Men who want to Enlist

Judge X l.. Dawson, Of Stanford,
who has volunteered his services to
raise company of soldiers for service
in Mexico Is meeting with a ready res
ponse from the patriotic young men OF
Lincoln county and vicinity. lie has al
ready taken down the names OF fifty
who want to enlist when the company
is organized, and plans are on foot Tor
preliminary meeting to enlistment,
when dates for drilling. etc, will be
fixed. DIR. Dawson has secured the
use OF the second floor Of the |. J.
building for an armory and arsenal
where the equipment will be stored and
plans to push work of organization in
anticipation OF the call for 100000 vol
untecrs for service, which seems at
hand
Over in Boyle. where Representative
Maurice Farris will organize a troop,
patriotism is at fever heat. The Dan
VILE Messenger said last week The
announcement that Hon. Maurice J.
Farris, Jr., would apply to Gov. Me-
Creary tor permission to raise a COM
pany TO fight Mexico has caused Mr.
Farris to be besieged by applicants who
want to enlist He says every man
who has spoken to him or sent word
is citizen of good character and UNI
doubted courage
Mr.. Farris told a Messenger report
er that he had the names of enough
men TO guarantee the raising OF two
companies within twenty-four hours
This speaks well for the confidence re-
posed in him. and likewise Of the pat
riotism OF Boyle county's citizens. It
is safe to say that il President Wilson
calls upon Kentucky for troops. Boyle
county will be among the first to fur
ni.h a company.
Many patriotic young men in Gar
rard want to go to war also The Lam
caster Record said Advices from
Washingto indicate that in the event of
a call for troops. Kentucky's quota
would be 5000 men Representative
Maurice J. Farris. Jr., of Danville has
written Gov. McCreary volunteering to
RAISE company in Boyle county to 90
to the front and assist in the laudable
enterprise OF discriminating the Greas-
ers. In the event that Mr.. Farris would
prefer larger body of men than a mere
company, If he will come over into
Garrard he can easily supplement his
BOYLE county enlistment othe number
of full regiment.
