GARRARD COUNTY'S
HISTORIC LANDMARK,

Should the proposed highway over
the ''Old Wilderness Road" become a
fact, penetrating as it would that part
of Kentucky described by Theodore
Roosevelt in The Winning of the
Vest and by Winston Churchill in
The Crossing, many points of inter
est, worthy of admiration. would be
brought to light, as it We're. from the
obscurity in which they have lain since
pioneer days.
The summer pleasure parties that
motor so continuously over the Crab
Orchard and Lancaster turnpike that
on fine days the dust never lies, little
know that the knob which projects
sheerly near the highway, a scraggly
plume of pine top, about three miles
from Lancaster, is crested with a land
mark of unusual interest. Here lies
the stone foundation of Gilbert Creek
church, the first Baptist church organi-
zed in Kentucky, and built about the
close of the eighteenth century. An
ascent may be made by a grassy de-
preston, the bed Of the old dirt road.

toward the westward, Lancaster show,

feet by ten feet, indicating a building
touchingly small, tiny outpost facing
infinite savagery.

NO SETTLEMENT
RESULTS FROM INSURANCE
Conference Held In Louisville.

The conference held in Louisville last
week between the state officials and
the representatives of the various in
surance companies was prolific of no
good in so far as settlement was con-
cerned. Proposals and cross proposals
made, We're rejected and a settlement
of the insurance muddle seems as re-
mote possibility now as it ever did,
and all negotiations looking to an
amicable adjustment of the difficulties
are declared off, at least for the pre-
sent.
In the meantime the feeling of I'M
certainty and unrest continues to exist
throughout the state; the feeling of
impending calamity because Of the i'm
minent possibility Of the people being
unable at no distant date to secure in
surance upon their property, and the
resulting depression in business.
Merchants are curtailing their orders
to a material extent, many of them of
their own accord, and not a few of
them because of the fact that the
wholesale people are not extending
credit as freeelv as was their wont
when insurance was obtainable for
every dollars worth of goods carried.
Uncertainty and unrest of borrowers
because of the imminent possibility of
the calling in of loans, the possibility of
the foreclosing of mortgages, because
of the adct that no insurance is obtain
able upon the property which serves as
collateral for the mortgage, and final
ruin staring them in the face.
In the meantime the Green-Glenn
Insurance Bill, the cause of all of this
the measure which was
passed over the strenuous objections of
so many of the taxpayers of the state,
remains upon the statute books, and
with no visible inclination upon the
part of the officials of the state to
shelve it for the time being and permit
the insurance companies to return to
the state and restore the old time order
of business. or to adopt any other
means to lift the people of the state
from the slough of despond into which
thew have been cast.

PATTERSON.

Mrs. Mary X. Patterson died at the
family residence on Richmond street in
this city at 5:l5 o'clock Sunday after
noon, and after funeral services at the
Methodist church on Monday afternoon,
conducted by DIR. L. H. Pearce as
sister by Rev. S. H. Pollitt. her re-
mains were placed at rest in the Lam
caster cemetery.
Mrs Patterson has been an invalid
for several years, and during that time
the suffering which she has undergone
could not have been borne by one with
less fortitude than this noble, christian.
woman, and yet she was never heard to
complain of her sukering or affection,
cheerful to a degree surprising that
evinced by many people in much more
robust health, she was ever ready with
a cheerful word for those about her.
For almost two weeks, it has been
thought that nearly every day would be
her last, and her suffering during this
time must have been intense, still she
was never heard to murmur. She
often rallied and recognized her loved
ones and those about her, and even
day or two preceding her death when
it was thought the breath was just
about to depart from her body, she raj
lied sufficiently to recognize her brother
DIR. Barton, who came to her bedside
from his distant home.
Mrs. Patterson has been a resident
of Lancaster for the past q years and
during this entire time has been promi-
nently identified with every good work
that has been attempted, active in
church and W. c. T, u. work, ever
willing to assist to the best of her abil-
ity in these or other good causes. A
lady of an unusually bright intellect,
and literally educated, of a cheerful
disposition under any and all circum-
stances, she endeared herself to the
people of Lancast, r as few people have
ever been able To do. She united with
the Methodist church shortly after TAX
ing up her residence in Lancaster and
has since been an active and consistent
member. Mrs. Patterson was widely
and favorably known throughout the
county, through having from time to
time assisted her husband in his duties
as local agent for the Louisville &
Nashville r! K. Co.
Mrs. Patterson was born on August
2, 1862, at Sublette, ILL.,, and was the
daughter of j. b. and Helen carton.
She was married to Mr.. G. M. Patter-
son on May 20, 1885 and to that union
was born a child, Miss Grace Helen
Patterson of this place, who with her
father survives the deceased. Mrs.
Patterson is also survived by one sister
who resides in Spokane, Wash, and by
two brothers, DIR. Barton, of Oak Park
Ill. and Mr.. John j. Barton, of Sub
lette, ILL.,, both of whom are wellknown
in Lancaster, the former having been a
frequent visitor and the latter a one
time resident of Lancaster
A wide circle of friends are Joined by
the Record in extending sympathy to
the bereaved husband and daughter.

best attractions. free from anything
which would offend, and merits the
patronage of the public.

HORSE IS KIM"
ANNUAL HORSE SHOW AT.
TRACT LARGE CROWD
TOWN MONDAY.

| III III w II IlUliDhl.
The annual horse show, held each
April court, out. classed anything this
year ever seen along the same line in
Lancaster. More horses, better horses
and more people to see them exhibited
than have been in Lancaster on court
day in manV years. The beautiful an
imals, seemingly conscious of the fact
that they were the cynOsure of all eyes
fairly outdid themselves. and Casey
on parade" never stepped more proud
| ly.
Billy Burton's ':Bleucher" was out
and made a splendid show, as he always
does, and attracted host of admirers
Frank Foley, of HackleY had his
High Preston" a handsome son of
Carroll Preston on exhibition and he is
a handsome specimen of Washington
| Denmark strain.
Holman Brown brought his Fit
patrick a worthy son of Rex Peavine,
who found many to admire this splen-
did animal.
Rufus Moss, Cooper King. a
beautiful sorrel with three white feet
came in for d liberal share of the crowds
admiration.
Raymond Hendren won a host of
friends for his representative of the
Peavine family Kentucky StonewalI.
Duke of Denmark" Jr. a splendid
stallion was on exhibition by Clarence
Beazley and gives promise of great
things.
Ray and Anon had Headlight" a
beautiful bay by Red Leaf. a horse
well known in this vicinity and the sire
of some splendid horses.
Forest Stapp brought out ''R. c..
Todd" his handsome and speedy des-
cendent of such stock as Dictator,
Geo. Wilkes and other well known
horses, and made a splendid show with
him.
Logan Hubble had Don Verrick" an
always popular horse with Garrard
county people.
Dick Scudders ''All Peavine" and ].
G. Cecil's Thistle Doune" and Chime
wood" We're among the high class
animals from a distance, and they all
three came in for their usual amount
of admiration.
Taylor Rainey's "Shelbark," Jess
Sweeney's Diamond Dick" and Hughes
Aldridge Silver Silks were the represen-
tatives of the horse miniature on ex-
hibition end they were as handsome a
ish heart.
Jacks were much in evidence, and
when one familiar with the fine points
of these animals looked over the bunch
he ceased to wonder why it was that
Garrard county was the mecca for buy
ers of high-class mules. and that the
ynest mules in the country were bred
in this county
Mondays exhibition demonstrated
conclusively the fact that the horse
and mule raising industry in Garrard
county was by no means on the wane,
that the automobile was in no wise
supplanting the horse, and the farmers
as never before were turning their at
tention, not only to the raising of stock
but to the raising of good stock, and
that there was determination upon
the part of our people to make Gar
rard county one of the best horse and
mule raising counties, in the best horse
and mule raising states in the United
States.
Walking Dan, handsome individual,
owned and exhibited by Charlie Creech.
of Paint Lick, was much admired for
his breeding and saddle qualities.
Elgin, the only Percheron on exhibi-
ton, and owned by B. H. Halcomb,
Bryantsville, make good show and
many to the breeding of this
class of horses. |

as oak, maple, and poplar. Next year,
these fields should not be planted with
corn or to potatoes. which are liable to
attack, as they will. no doubt, be in
tested with large numbers OF white
grubs.
Wherever possible such animals as
pigs, and chickens should be allowed
to run underneath the trees upon
which the beetles are feeding. The
beetles feed at night and during tn.
daytime remain hidden on the ground
where pigs and chickens readily find
them. The larger the number OF these
beetles destroyed this summer, the
less injury is likely to be done by the
white grubs next year. Some good
might be accomplished by jarring the
trees upon which the beetles are feed
ing at night, having first spread a
sheet under the tree. The beetles will
drop onto the sheet, from which they
can readily be collected and destroy

TYPHOID FLY BULLETIN
Fight the Fly With Traps, Poisons
Repellant Sprays, and Clean Up
Methods.

It requires no argument to rrove
that the annoying disease-bearing fly
should be exterE1inated or controlled.
The only question is "How'? Flies
and Their Control, Extension Bulletin
43, of the Minnesota Farmers Library,
undertakes to answer this question. 1t
deals with the house fly and some OF
the more important stock flies which
are perhaps the worst pests of Mime
sofa animals.
In dealing with the haoits and rapid
increase of flies, Professor F. L. Wash
burn, the author, lays special empha-
sis on the transmission of disease
germs from filth to food and the I'm.
portance Of screens and cleanup san,
tation in combating the pest. Stables
and privies should be so managed that
flies cannot breed or feed in them and
then carry infection to the fanny
table or the baby's bottle. Food 70,
sale should be screened or kept under
glass. Three teaspoonfuls Of formaiin
in half a pint Of milk diluted with the
same amount Of water makes an ct"
fective fy-poison, especially if no
other drinking place IS open to the
flies, but should be kept out Of reach
of children. Sticky fly paper is pref
cradle to poisoned fly paper: The bull
letin gives full directions fo- making
the Minnesota fly trap.
The stock flies discussed include the
horn fly, deer flies, the biting stable
fly, the horse botdy. The general
representatives. suggested are (1) dark
: eped stables with burlap over the door
to brush off and exclude flies as the
animal enters; (2) spray Of three
parts fish oil and One part kerosene;
and (3) an ointment made by mixing
a pint of kerosene with pound of
lard and applied thinly with a cloth
over the animals back. The nits OF
the horse fly can be removed by clip
ping the affected portions or by brush
ing them with a feather dipped in
kerosene. Too much kerosene should
not be used.-J. O. Rankin. University

WHITE aRu u
Strawberries. Corn and Potatoes Less
Likely to Be Injured This Year
BY White Grubs

From the data available, it seems
that three or four Of our five species
of white grubs will be in the May
beetle or June-bug stage this year and
that potatoes, corn, and other plants
susceptible to the attack Of white
grubs will be relatively little injured
by them. It should also be a good
year for transplanting Strawberries,
as they will become established with
less injury from the grubs. These
plants should be we'll cultivated
throughout the summer to keep down
the weeds, thus preventing the adul.
beetles from laying their eggs in such
places. For egg laying, the beetles
prefer land occupied by timothy, grain,
or other vegetation. Such places
should be as far away from trees as
possible, as the adult beetles feed up
