A NUISANCE.

The bootblacking stands which are
conducted on the public square on Sum
day morning are considerably more of a
nuisance than an accommodation. At
least dozen half grown coIored BOYS
congregate about each stand, scuffle,
make vast amount of noise, and be-
sides desecrating the Sabbath. make it
impossible for people living close to the
square to enjoy their Sunday mornings
rest. Unless these stands are con-
Quoted in more orderly manner, it
would be well to pass an ordinance
prohibiting the conducting of them on
the Sabbath.

BURNED TOBACCO.

Mr.. w. A. Speith. the best judge of
tobacco and one of the best buyers of
the popular weed ever in Garrard,
states that there is some complaint
about houseburn tobacco in the county
and says that the farmers should use
every precaution in grading carefully
all that is houseburned and put to it,
self. This is very important advice
and the farmers of the county should
heed it. Don't spoil good crop by
trying to hide some inferior grades with
your better quality Grade your tobac-
co carefully. and you will be rewarded
in the end by better prices. =

PAY YOUR WATER DUES OR

The money for the use of the city water
is due, not only for this year, but many
are owing considerable amounts for
back water rates. This money must
be paid without further delay. The
City Council has giver me peremptory
instructions to collect all outstanding
water rent, and upon the failure of de-
linquents to pay, to enforce the pro-
visions of the law provided in such in
stances, which is the cutting off of the
water. When the water is once cut off
the law requires me to collect fee of
$500 before again turning it on. 1
have been very indulgent in this regard,
and l will be compelled to ask all in
arrears to come forward and settle
without further delay.

The Howe Pictures.

Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival,
which comes to the armory opera
house next Thursday evening, is en-
joyed as much by men and women
who have been on the long trails
leading to the great scenes in the
wide, wide world, as it is by stay-at-
homes. Those who have Travelled
much enjoy Mr.. Howe's reproduce
lions because of their absolute fidel-
lily and the "reminiscences they
awaken. Indeed, the extraordinary
merits of this exhibition are now
firmly established. By the sheer
force of it's excellence it has adver-
tised itself so we'll that crowded
house is a foregone conclusion.
The new program has its intense
moments such as are impaired by a
ride on a runaway train, which in
itself is exciting enough, but the
thrills are intensified and made
more thrilling by means of those re-
alistic "effects" which always dis
tinguish Howe's from all others.
Then also there are some spectacular
moments experienced during trip
down into the crater of Vesuvius-
to the very edge of the vast cauld-
ron of boiling lava. Some Of the
mysteries of natures handiwork are
revealed in a series showing the
growth of plants and the develop
ment of flowers from bud to bios
som. The manifestations of science
and chemistry are also shown in a
film depicting the electrolysis of
metals and the fantastic formations
created by the process. Real travel
experiences are provided by trip
to ever enchanting Venice during
which Howe travellers will glide up
and down the canals and see the
quaint city under the wizardry of
superb color effects at sunset and by
moonlight. A railroad ride through
Greece, bird studies in the colors of
nature, and entirely new animated
cartoons are some of the other feat
ures. -..--
