RUTH WARD RECOVERING.

Four year old Ruth Ward, who
some months ago became a victim
of the little known disease, sclero-
derma, which has hitherto been con-
sidered incurable, is recovering.
When the little girl first began
to suffer from the effects of the
strange disease, local physicians
were called in, and she was after
wards taken to Louisville, and later
before the annual session of the
Southern Medical Association at
Lexington. Eminent physicians from
all the principal cities of America.
numbering more than two hundred
in all, made scientific examina-
ton of the case; but as only very
few cases have developed in the
United States in the past decade,
no practical advice could be offered.
But it was the opinion of most of
these that she would never recover,
and would finally die of the strange
malady that draws and hardens the
skin all over the body.
Contrary to their views, however,
she is showing most encouraging in

WHAT PREPARATIONS?

Will the West Virginia liquor in
terests pass their measure through
the Kentucky Legislature decreeing
J. a division of Pike county so as to
create new county, while Pike-co.
people are asleep on the defense?
Remember, citizens, that many
battle has been won by the care and
vigilance of the one side, and the
sleepy procrastination of the other.
Let your committees, then, which
were organized two weeks ago for
the purpose of fighting these en-
croachments, get busy. Much Is to
be done upon both sides OF the con-
troversy, and there remains but lit
tie time to do 1t in, because the inl-
tial steps toward securing the d.
vision will be made during the pres
ent term of the Legislature; and II
a petition goes unopposed before
that body signed by a few hirelngs
from the Eastern half of the coun-
ty, and upon it the legislature de-
cress that a popular election must
be held for the purpose of deter
mining the will of the people in the
matter, the West Virginia interests
will rejoice that they have won their
victory over Pike county people. TO
silence the move forever, it only re-
mains for Pike-co. people to draft
resolution and forward it to the Leg
islature, warning them that IT is
not the popular will that the coun-
ty be divided for the private benefit
of a few West Virginia saloonists,
politicians and real estate men, and
when that delegation goes to Frank
fort they will be met by honest leg
islative investigators who will have
been forewarned of their private and
selfish intentions, and your repre-
sentatives will not allow your rights
to be ruthlessly uselessly-
trampled upon by these barons OF
business from the Siberian coal fields
called West Virginia.

though the cough is a functional dis

The dropping OF mucus from the
back part OF the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on long time before the

WHITEsBURG. KY, Jan. 27.-A
party of Michigan people were In
the vicinity of Thornton creek a
bove here Saturday looking over the
properties of the Roberta Coal Co.
with view of leasing 1t. 1t Is said
the party was pleased with the clay
of the land" and that it is thor
oughly evident that actual work
looking to the development of the
property will be started within the
next few weeks.
For a long time 1t has been
known that Thornton, Colly, and
Milestone creeks we're all immensely
rich coal sections and considering
just what has been done hereabouts
looking to the development 1t is
evidently true. Developments on
Thornton will mean the building of
about a three mile branch of the
Lexington and Eastern railroad.
Rush work characterfZes the build
ing of the new model roadway from
Mayking to Kona, mouth of Boone's
Fork, six miles, and fine progress Is
being made. Within three or four
months the road will be completed
and our people will begin to learn
the value of good roads.It Is said
that the next session of the Letch-
err Fiscal court will make arrange
ments to build connection from
this city to Mayking, and section
from Kona to Fleming forming a
complete connection from Whites
burg to jenkins. This would be
great convenience for the people of
Whitesburg. Letcher county is ac-
tually getting the spirit of good
roads.
