The Hopkinsville Business Mems
Association upon reassembling Fri
day evening to hear the report of the

adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, the Hopkinsville Bust

in the City of Hopkinsville and State
Of Kentucky.
"And whereas it has come to our
knowledge that a certain bill has
been introduced into the House and

Therefore, be it resolved, that the

against said bill and to use all Lawful
means to prevent it becoming (

WEATHER CLERK
Checked Pre.Spring Farming
and Sent Needed
Rain.

The appearance of old Boreas in
theseparts last Friday was an estoppel
to all arguments as to whether spring
had come or not. The high cold wind
sleet, snow and chilly rain, stopped
the blooming of violets in protected
places, gardening was abandoned,
heavy underware was brought again
into requisition, hauling tobacco was
interfered with, blowing was dis
continued, and farming operations
generally had to slack up for a sea-
son. The only good thing about the
whole business was the heavy cold
rain of Friday night which was turn
ed into empty cisterns.

passed an act authorizing the APP
pointment of a commission to deal
with tuberculosis in the state. Sec
ton provides that districts may be
created consisting of one or more
counties by the Fiscal Courts, or the
people may themselves order it as
was done last fall when the vote was

When this has been done the act
further provides:
Sec. 8-The result of any county
or district election shall be certified
to the Fiscal Court of such county
' and said Fiscal Court, if the
result of said election be certified to
it or them as in favor of the establish
ment of such district, shall forthwith
proceed to declare such county -
a district for the establishment of
sanitarium for the treatment of
tuberculosis, and shall proceed to
put same into effect and the
cost and expenses of erection and

Initial Arrangements For This
Year Discussed And Date
Is Fixed.
SEPTEMBER 29 TO OCT. 3.
New Board Of Directors To Be
Chosen Monday Febru-
airy 9th.

The directors of the Pennyroyt !
Fair Company met at the rooms of
the H. B. M. A. last Saturday. There
was a full attendance Of the board
and many matters of interest were
brought up for discussion and action.
The President, S. l.. Cowherd, pre-
sided, and it was evident that he had
thought much about the event of all
events last year and his mind is fixed
on doing great things for this year.
The opinion seems to be general that
this years fair will eclipse that of
last-and nobody has forgotten the
valiant work of Mr.. Cowherd and
his assistant, B. Gordon Nelson. Mr..
Nelson is the secretary of the fair
and is live wire. The organization
last year outdid every other lot of
men in the State in giving the people
a big fair.
Next Monday is the day for the
stockholders to meet and elect direc-
tors for TIE year. The meeting will
be held at The Avalon. Mr.. Nelson
is sending out notices to the stock
holders asking them to be there if
poss BILE, if not, to send proxies.
There may be few changes made
at this meeting, but it is thought
that practically all of the officers will
be retained for another year in re-
cognition of the good work done
last year.
At the meeting Saturday Norton
Garth, B. Gordon Nelson and j. w.
Riley were appointed "a futurity"
committee. The meaning of "futur-
ity" is fully understood by horsemen.
1t means that breeders deposit fee
on the privilege of entering pros
pective colts at the next fair. Later
another deposit is made, and later
another. These deposits are put in
to fund that goes to the fortunate
winner when the young animals are
exhibited. 1t is not the money of
the fair company.
Ernest Steger, a large buyer OF
wheat, was present and said that if
this should be a good wheat year he
wanted to see a fine display a. the
next fair and would start subscrip-
lions for prizes with big contribu-
ton, and he believed that the men
representing the milling interests
of this section would do the same
thing.
There are large number of horses
to be brought here this year and put
in training before the fair. Two OF
! three handlers are already here. To
encourage this Messrs. Cowherd,
Nelson and White were appointed a
committee to rent out the stalls at a
nominal price.
There are now 100 stalls, but more
are to be bui t. The seating capaci-
ty of the grand stand is to be in
creased 33 per cent. A floral ha is
to be built, and many other things to
be done.

FLOOD GATE OPENED.
Little River at Normal Stage
and Boating Ceased.

City Engineer McClaid had the
gate at Edgewater Park dam open
ed last Friday morning and the river
is now down to its normal stage
above the dam. The reason for let
ting the water run out was that
some repairs are necessary at each
end of it. But little boating can be
done until the repairs are made and
the water is again accumulated for
summer use.
