Gets Full Amount

A jury in the Garrard Circuit
Court brought in a verdict of ST.
600. the full amount asked, for
the plaintiff, in the suit of George
Conn VS. the L. & N. The suit
was the outcome of the big flood
in March, 1913, in which much
valuable property was destroyed
in Paint Lick, and is one of sew
eral, amounting in the aggregate
to the sum of S40,750. The re-
naming suits are yet to be tried,
but because of the fact that this
is the last week of court, and the
pressing nature of other matters
before court, they will not come up.
They are of the same nature of
the suit just adjudicated. The YER
dict was signed by only IL of the
Jury, one of the number dissent
ing. The attorneys for the rail
road Immediately gave notice of
appeal, and the case will go to
the Court of Appeals.
The contention of the plaintiffs
in the case was that the waters
of the creek, which is crossed by
the railroad Immediately east ol
Paint Lick, were obstructed b,
the railroad building abutment:
/ in the channel of the stream, thu:
causing the swollen waters tt
leave their original channel anC
flow through the village of Pain
Lick. Much expert testimon.
was introduced by both sides, AMI
much interest has been manifest
ed in the final outcome of the lii
igation.
Mr.. Conn was given judgmen
for the full amount sued for, Whicl
was S2,000.-Record.

The Uplift Club of Richmond

The club met in regular ses-
sion on Monday afternoon March
%. This club is composed of
men and women of the city who
are striving to make Richmond a
more attractive city. They meet
every second and fourth Monday
at 2::30 p. m. at Caldwell High
School.
Just at this time the club is
working upon the question of
cleaning up the city. 1t was sus-
gested that all other organiza-
tons be invited to join in a pub
licity day, when a mass meeting
will be called and plans devised
to reach every part of the city
1t is thought that two or three
days might be set apart for clean
ing up the entire city. The
schools of the city might be en-
listed, the student bodies organ
lied under the teachers or citi
zens, and the neglected sections
of the city be reached in this way
The business men and profession
al men might become interested
enough to put on overalls, take
rakes, hoes, brooms, brushes etc
and help out for two days o.
more. Reports have come from
some other Kentucky cities where
this plan has worked very sue
cessfully.
We think the city of Richmond
should not be behind in a move
ment of this kind. All citizen:
of Richmond who are interested
in the welfare of the city are
cordially invited to become mem
bers.

Stepping Some

The Cynthiana Democrat says
few girls begin married life so aus
piciously as Miss Eleanor Wilson,
daughter of the President, when
she Weds Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo. She is "a and he
is so years old. When she mar
ries she will become a wife, a
stepmother, a step-grandmother
and a step mother-in-law. All of
which is stepping some, to say
nothing of the tango steps with
which the lucky Secretary is said
to have won her.

themselves in the same way, but
if we want oil we must console
ourselves that oil we must have,
and not rose water, and that this
kind of oil cannot be sent to the
laundry in advance. So we would
rather have the oil than the dust,
but we should like to have it
equalized on the streets, if that
be possible, and the cost distrib-
uted a little more evenly if some
one will tell us how that can be
done.

arise to pour water on the trou-
bled oil! E. B. Barnes.

Our Excessive Crop of Dogs

Gentle reader, did you ever see
as many dogs in your life as were
on exhibition on these streets
within the past two months?
Outside of Constantinople we
hold the record for nu m b er S.
For a time we thought the skies
rained dogs. At times we almost
stepped on regiment of them
every time we set our foot out
OF doors. They made night hid
eous, and their numbers were
surpassed only by the varieties.
Instead of "57' we had at least
five hundred and seventy. There
were dogs angular and slightly,
lean and bulky, short and long,
clean and NANCY, law abiding
citizens, and desperadoes. Some
were domestic and peace loving,
who only ventured out after sup
per when tbs weather was favor
able; others slammed the door
/ against the protests of wife and
children and went anyhow.
Some were in favor of enforcing
the anti splitting ordinance, and
some didn't care where, when,
why, or how their distinguished
fellow-citizens spat. This is a
free country, so they said in true
dog language. But dogdom had
its day this year with none to say
them nay. They walked and am
bled and ran and bounded, al
times they were on the verge Of
| riot, but nothing was done, and
the offenders are still at large
We believe that the liberties O.
SO many dogs should be curtailec
l and now we throw out this gen
tie hint to those whose business
o it is to see that the dogs do no
, invade the quiet of our communi
ty in the future. We believe il
o the dog and want to be his friend
), but there are limits to our affect
= ions even for him. He was to
q numerous this year for the gepel
\ al good. E. B. Barnes.
