was well attended considcring
that there was preaching also in
town on the same night. The
writer has attended several music
al recitals in his short life tim,
and this was one of the best that
he has ever been to. judging
from the encores received from
the audience they appreciated il
also. The recital was given BY
Mrs. Earl Sleeth and assisted BY
Mrs. Kate Bohannon. We all
know that Mrs. Kate Bohannon is
one of the best piano players and
every one was delighted to hear
Mrs. Sleeth. Her singing was
splendid and became better and
better as the program drew to
close. We hops that there will be
more of such recitals given in the
near future.

Mr.. Thomas Boone and his help
err, Mr.. Winan, of Winchester, are
here this week doing some plumb
ing work for the writer and at the
Court House.
Mr.. Lennie Grow, our depot
agent, was taken very seriously
lick Tuesday afternoon very sud-
ienly. The doctor was called and
he is some better at this writing.
This past week has been busy
time for hog killing. Hogs are un-
usually fine this year. The cold
weather has held off for so long
that the farmers had to feed them
a long time and so they are fatter
and heavier.
Mrs. James Welch must be the
champion turkey raiser in Powell
county, as she sold Sc turkeys last
week for $3.50. That is a splendid
price for turkeys this year. She
held out till she received a better
price than her neighbors. 1t is
doubtful if there is a harder
worker or a more thrifty wife in
Kentucky than Mrs. Welch.

and his death is looked for almost
any moment. His daughter, Mrs.
James French, and her son from
Levee, arrived Tuesday night. All
he sons and daughters that can
be located have been written to
come. The one in Middletown,
Ohio, George, is not able to come
on account of running a nail in
MS foot, and is in a serious cOndi-
ton himself. His daughter in
Clark county, Mrs. Maud Martin,
was with him until Saturday of
last week, when she returned
home.
Rev. d. G. Combs, of Morehead,
preached at the Christian Church
on Saturday night and Sunday to
good audiences. Rev. H. W. FL

Christian Church for Kentucky,
will preach at the next regular
appointment the second Sunday in
January. If you want to hear

to hear Brother Elliott. He is no

The thermometer registered 10
below zero Tuesday morning by
several thermometers in town.
This is the coolest weather that
we have had for a great many
years at this season of the year in
Kentucky. The writer remembers
his first trip to Kentucky in 1899,
when the roads-were dusty up un-
til Christmas time. There was no
need for an overcoat and we wore
our light underwear. An Oc-
casional snake was seen crawling
around during those days. But
we paid for that weather later on
in the season.

 LOS ANGELES. Feb. lo.--The cham her of commerce has taken up serious
 Iv the question of Japanese invasion or the shipping industry of the west coast
 and will ask the chambers of com
 merce of other coast cities to cooper
 a.e with Los Angeles in an attempt
 [. retain more of the trade with the
 Orient and with South America in the
 nds of American companies than Is
 likely to be kept there unless some action is taken by the merchants and
 shippers.
 Japan it is known has already begun tho construction of a number of vessels to be used in trade between the west coast and South and Central American ports as we'll as between the Orient and tho west coast and even between west coast and the eastern coast of South American and the West Indies. Jap anese firms have also been making ar ra ngements for the purchase in Europe and the transference to the Japanese
 flag of a large number of merchant verels and 1t is feared that when the
 canal is opened the laps will have the jump on the American companies ir
 picking up the trade between the coasts of South and Central America and the Pacific ocast of the United States.

FINANCIAL PANIC OF 1887
Year That Many Banks Failed and
Specie Payments Were Practical
ly Entirely Suspended.

Political rancor was at It's height
when Andrew Jackson vetoed the bill
renewing the charter OF the United
States bank and removed the treasury
deposits. under which opposition the
bank collapsed and vast number OF
state banks competed for the busi-
ness, which included the issue OF bank
notes. In 1887 there we're 634 banks
with an aggregate capital OF s2sl.-
900, 900.
In the history OF banking the year
OF 1887 is prominent for one OF the
worst panics that was ever known In
America, which resulted in the failure
OF many banks and a universal suspen'
sion OF specie payments throughout
the country, which we're not renewed
until over a year and half later. says
the National Magazine. During this
trying period. when banking opera
tions were practically wiped out OF
existence. all the banks but three con-
tinued doing business In Boston. There
were temporary suspensions OF specie
payments in 1857, known as the panic
OF 81; also In 81, when Boston fol-
lowed the lead OF New York, since

growing of hogs for slaughter
source Of profit unless proper grazing
and feeding methods are followed.
In the spring. summer and fall
there are many crops for pasturing
hogs, but during the winter the crops
to select from are limited. On almost
every farm the production and keep
ing OF hogs in winter IL expensive. and
generally It Is not profitable for the
reason that large quantities OF corn
are fed without products Of green
crops. More winter grazing 10 needed.
for which many crops are adapted.
The most reliable are, however. rape.
rye, oats, wheat and barley.
For grazing purposes these pastur-
ing crops for hogs should be sown on
specially we'll drained and prepared
land that is either rich or has re-
ceived liberal application OF ma
nure. Good winter pasturage is not
obtained except on the bestdrained
lands.
The seeding should be heavy TO In
sure thorough planting. The young
plants will grow slowly In the winter
and many plants will be needed to
furnish plenty of pasture. Crimson
clover will do we'll with rape, rye, oats,
wheat and barley. and will mean an
Improvement on the land.
