Miss Stella COnOVer Meets With an
Accident.

Eiss Stella Conover, well-known
teacher of penmanship in the Elliott
Commercial School, fell yesterday
morning at the corner OF Seventh and
Market streets, breaking her right
arm at the wrist.
EiSS COnOver, in company with MIS-.
Edward Birch, with whom she boards,
was on her way to attend services at
a local church, and in endeayOring to
cross a slippery part Of the street, fell,
doubling her hands in under her in
such a manner as to cause compound
fracture.
The mOtOrman and conductor OF one
of the city cars, passing at the time,
gathered her up, and carried her inio
the Birch home a few doors below the
place where she fell. DrS. Caldwell
and Drinkard were called, it being
necessary to put the young lady under
the influence Of an aneSthetic before
the fracture could be attended.
Word from the home last night was
TO the effect that Miss COnOver was
resting easily and that her injury
while painful was in no way serious
An Y Ray photograph of the fracture
will be taken this morning and care
full study of the fracture made, hoping
to alleviate the suffering.
Miss Conover is very popular among
the school children of the city and is
considered a wizard with the pen
This injury coming as it. does during
the busy part Of the school season, anc
being on the right arm, makes the
matter even more to be regretted

says that unless Palmer can secure

the action of the Federal authorities.
Palmer was manager ofthe company
that played here week before last, the
two girls mentioned appearing in the

LESS DYSPEPSIA NOW
HERES TIE REASON

The fact that there is less dyspepsia
and indigestion in this community
than there used to be is largely, we
believe. due to the extensive use of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, hundreds of
packages of which we have sold. No
wonder we have faith in them. No
wonder we are willing TO offer them to
you for trial entirely at our risk.
Among other things, they contain
Pepsin aud BiSmuth, two Of the great.
est digestive aids known TO medical
science. They soothe the iufiamed
stomach, allay pain, check heartburn
and distress, help to digest the food,
and tend to quickly restore the stomach
to it's natural, comfortable, healthy
state.
There is no red tape about our
guarantee. 1t means just what it
says Well ask you no questions. Your
word is enough for US. If Rexall DyS,
pepsia Tablets don't restore your
stomach to health and make your di,
gestion easy and comfortable, we want
you to come back for your money

How do You Like this Proposition?

Mr.. J. Y. COffey is somewhat of an
agitatOr, but he invariably gives a
proposition due consideration before
submitting it to the public For
more than two months he has been
considering the adyisability of build
ing concrete automobile road from
here 20 Campbellsville, and after figur-
ing on the cost Of such a road, he an
nOunces that it can be built for $1,000
a mile, and that the enterprise would
be paying investment. His idea is
to lay two tracts, eighteen inches
wide, with concrete, to De used by aU-
tOmobiles only Mr.. COlTey is an ex-
/ perienced surveyor, lie has looked over
the route, and says that he honestly
believes that the proposition is prac-
tical, and that if a company would
build such a read, all our freight could
be hauled by the truck cars for much
less than we are now paying. 1t seems
to US that the proposition is worth
( considering Even if we should get a
railroad the auto line would continue
TO pay.
