V. A. LEAR JR.

individual in the world, we do not ex-
cept the proverbial bow with his first
red top boots, any successful General
in the great war now in progress, or
any other person who has some great
achievement of which he is justly proud.
The cause of the young mans rejoic-

full contestant for the miniature auto
mobile offered by the management of
the Lancaster Opera House to the child
receiving the greatest number of votes
within certain length of time. Each
ticket purchased had coupon attach

number of these coupons was awarded
the automobile. Vic. Jr. received so
many more votes than any other con-

Easys and Bootleggers will undoubtedly

Easys and Bootleggers will undoubtedly
attempt to fill the vacancy which is
supposed to exist by the BUSTING of sa-
looms. A prohibitory law not enforced
is practically useless, and its enforce
ment will require unrelenting vigilance
from the very outset. The first re-
quisite is officers who are thoroughly in
sympathy with the movement to Danish
the sale of liquor in every form. and
this must be supplemented by the NOR
al support of the law abiding citizens
of the community. To insure immedi-
ate and lasting success. the issue should
be grappled with from the very outset,
the first offenders should be apprehend-
ed and given the extreme penalty,
which will serve as warning to those
who would emulate their example.
By this means, and by this alone, any
city in Kentucky may enjoy the same
peace and quietude to be insured by
the freedom from the sale of intoxi-
cants as is enjoyed by this city.
We do not mean to say that liquor is
not drank in Lancaster, it is and always
will be, for there are some that will
have it so long as it is made, and in
the absence of prohibitory federal laws
to the contrary, it is always obtainable
from adjoining states. but it is restrict.
ed in many ways, and the Objectionable
features of the open saloon are remov-
ed, and the actual sale of liquor within
the city is positively unknown.

mangled by the explosion. and his death
was undoubtedly instantaneous.
His remains, accompanied by his
Borrowing wife and friends were con-

burg KY for interment, the funeral
party leaving on the evening train

Mr.. Caddell is survived by his wife,
who before her marriage was Miss

sister of the late Mr.. John Meadows of
this county, and by four brothers.

to Garrard county several years ago
and purchased the farm known as 1.-The

where he has since resided, with the
exception of little more than a year
which he spent In Oklahoma.
Mr.. CaddeIl was man of marked in

hearty jovial disposition. and had made
many friends since he has been a

Mr.. Caddell has for several months
shown slight signs of mental derange-

his family and friends, and they en-
deavored to keep him under constant
surveillance. However, he had shown
no alarming symptoms Immediately
preceding his death, and was accustom-

farm, but he seems to have taken ad-

During the progress of the many
liquor contests in the state, we deem
it not amiss to give the public the
benefit of the results of prohibition as
experienced in Lancaster and Garrard
county. We have enjoyed the blessing
of local option since 1884, and that it
has proven blessing is evidenced by
the fact that instead of being known as
:'bloody Lancaster" during the liquor
regime, we are now come to be known as
one of the most peaceable and law abid-
ing communities in the Commonwealth.
During the DAYS of saloons, men were
accustomed to :'come to town" on
public days and after their brains be-
came heated and inflamed by the i'm
bibing of several drinks, they sought
to settle their various personal diff
ferences, and the result was that the
daily papers would carry an account of
another killing in bloody Lancaster. :"
The first vote as to local option was
taken in 1884, and whiskey was voted
out of the Lancaster precincts and
though attempts have been made to
vote it back since they have invariably
proven unsuccessful. Other precincts
have followed in the wake of the three
town precincts until there is no wet"
precinct in the county save Walkers
and repeated efforts to sell liquor there
have been frustrated by the citizens.
There were infractions of the law, as
there is and always will be, and these
at one time became so fragrant that the
officers of the city, backed up by a
righteously indigant citezenry, made a
raid upon the "blind tiger" district
routed the beast from lair, destroyed
his stock in trade, expelled the most
fragrant violators from the county, and
they have never returned, and since
that time Lancaster has enjoyed local
option in fact as well as In name.
That the banishing of liquor from
the town has proven beneficial, none
can gainsay. The town is better, the
morals of the youth are better. the
cause of education has grown here as
perhaps it has not grown elsewhere in
the country, real estate, both in county
and town, has more than quadrupled in
value, and there is not one person out
of one hundred, who if asked would tell
you that they would have saloons back
in Lancaster, were such a thing pos
sible.
However to those communities who are
now in a contest upon this issue wewould
say lthat::wIth the voting out of liquor
the battle has but just begun, EIm4
mediatelv upon the closing of saloons,
the illicit vender of liquor will begin to
ply his calling. Blind Tigers, Speak

The great war now raging in Europe
is being felt in this country, and its
effect will be evident for some time to

many commodities, and make the OBJ

in the end it will prove of great value

now, and the remaining inhabitants
must be fed until the countries can be
rehsbilitated, and this will take years.
and the master task of providing for
them will fall to our lot. This will of
a necessity make the products of our
