ball was snapped to Knowles the Yale

tremendous lift the Harvard forwards
put into the play. Knowles struck a
solid mass of humanity and the ball

Coolidge apparently was the only
man who was free and he raced around
the end and scooped the ball and
started on his long run. 1t was Brad

to oVertake LeGore and "spiIl' him,
thus permitting Coolidge to continue
his run, fer LeGore was slowly but
surely gaining ON the Harvard end.

Misses Halle Gott and Lear Azbill

serious injury Saturday while en- route
to Mr.. Archie Dunn's home at Union
City. The young ladies were near Mrs.
VIM. Collins residence, on the Union
pike, when they met an automobile. at
which the horse they were driving be-
came frightened, overturned the buggy
and ran away. When the vehicle was
upset, fortunately for the young ladies,
the coupling broke and the maddened
animal dashed away with the front
wheels of the buggy and ran nearly TO
the city limits before being intercepted.
Neither of the young ladies received a
scratch as result of their experience.

concerned. 1t was a case OF pistol in a

gather from the nature of the testimony,
there was no malice whatever, as Luther
Perkins threw the revolver away and in
so doing, the weapon was discharged,

friend and relative, who succumbed a
few hours later. The case was held TO

An Honor Justly Bestowed.

The organization of the Southern As
ISOLATION of Railway Surgeons, which
was proposed at the Lexington meeting
of the Southern Medical Association, at
the urgent request of some of the prom
inent Southern surgeons present, was
perfected. The matter of selecting Of
ficers and formulating bylaws and reg
ulations was referred to the Southern
Medical Association Council, with the
result that one of Richmond's most re-
spected and proficient physicians. DR..
G. Fl. Vaught, has been selected by that
body to serve in the capacity of secreta-
ry-treasurer. This honor is justly be-
slowed, as DIR Vaught has necessarily
labored for the upbuilding of his pro-
fession and in the capacity of editor of
the Railway Surgeon, bi-monthly
magazine issued by Kentucky railway
surgeons, and which is in the front rank
of periodicals of that character, has DEM
onstrated his eminent fitness for the du-
ties assigned him among the leading
physicians Of the United States.

Hon. John Sam Owsley, 73 years old,
died at his home in Lexington Saturday,
after long illness. Mr.. OwSley repre-
scented Lincoln county in the Legislature
in 1873 and was one of the wealthiest
men of that section. In 1861 Mr.. Ows-
ley married Miss Malinda Miller, daugh
ter of Col T. w Miller, of Madison coun-
ty, an accomplished woman. They lived
together some 80 years, when death en-
tered the happy home and delived such
blow to the fond husband that he new
er recovered from it. Eight children
were born to them. all of whom are liv-
ing, Mrs. W. p Walton. whose husband
was recently editor of the Climax, being
the third child born to this union.
The Lexington Herald pays the fol-
lowing tribute to The memory of Mr..
Owsley:
"A very modest and retiring man,
gentle almost as woman, careful of the
feelings of even the humblest of crea-
ton, Mr.. OwsleY was little known except
to his intimates, who realized his ster-
ling qualities, his deep interest in every
good work and his store of useful knowl-
edge on nearly every subject. Uniting
with the Presbyterian church when a
lad, he lived up to its teachings, and the
recording angel alone knew of his many

Tobacco Prices Cause Talk
Of Organization I'm Mad
iSOn County.

Madison county has hal until recent
ly as good market for her tobacco as
any county in the Burley district, and
this fact is attested by most of the crop
being sold on the breaks in this city, yet
this fact does not imply that the farm
ers are unmindful that the prices, as a
whole, are not as good as they were last
year, while the crop is comparatively
short and the quality superior. There
are few farmers but know of the short
age of the Burley crop, mounting up in
to the millions, notwithstanding the
claim that the American To bacco Co.
has all it wants and there is already con-
siderable speculation as to ''cut out"
for this year. Some lutte experience of
this kind in the not remote past, whe n
this section knew less of the needs of or
ganization and cultivation of this crop.
warns US to want no more of it and ad-
wise, not against the act should it become
necessary but against the necessity for
it.
The farmers, once impossible of organ
ization. are beginning to see things in
quite different way. They have learn
ed from observation and experience the
value of cooperation and are beginning
to ask why, if every other branch of bus
mess is organized and benefited in this
manner, similar results and advantages
would not follow the same cause with
them. Though the first attempt to pool
the tobacco crop fell short of the requir
ed so per cent, second effort, brought
about by unsatisfactory prices, will sue
coed. and once tried will, in our opin.
ion, become an established fact.
