AUTO SHOW
BRILLIANT
Spirited Contest For Several
Prizes Including Most Beau
tiful Woman Occupant.

The closing feature of the fair was
the automobile show Saturday night,
under direction of Ben McReynolds,
and Hopkinsville society was out in
force. 1t was fitting close to one
of the best days in the history of the
fair and while the number of cars
shown was not as large as had been
expected, those in the show were the
very best in the city and county and
some from other counties. The cars
were nearly all filled with pretty
women and girls and several of the
vehicles were beautifully decorated
in ribbons, flags and flowers,
The judges were Messrs. P. w.
Ray, J. L. Rawls and j. w. Fields
and it was no easy task they were
called upon to perform. The cars
were all beautiful and the display of
eighteen circling the track at one
time, or drawn up in long line in
front of the grand stand was most
inspiring. The crowd took a deep
interest in the contests and there
was much applause from the audi
ence as the favorite cars flashed by.
The contest for the best lady driver
was very spirited and exciting and
finally narrowed down to three
Mrs. w. L. Mitchell, Mrs. viii D.
Summers and Miss Frances Sum-
mers. After requiring the ntest.
ants to engage in many Individual
maneuvers, the award was finally
given to Mrs. Mitchell, who dove a
beautiful Cadillac.
The following parties had cars in
the show:

SEEK TO ENLARGE
INCURABLES' HOME
Heads Of Institution Now Fifty
Years Old Ask Funds for
More Free Beds.

Near tire edge OF an elevation over
looking the city at Fordham stands the
Home for Incurables, now half CEN
fury old. For this home and its pa
tients, most of whom will have to spend
their last days in IL, an appeal for
financial assistance is being circu,ateS.
Fifty years ago the Rev. Washington
Rodman began the work Of the Home
for Incurables at West Farms. In
1873 John David Wolfe gave the pres
ent site. OF about ten acres. It's large
well kept grounds. shaded by beautiful
old trees, afford ample space, fresh air
and sunshine.

treatment and careful nursing IL has

The home will accommodate 800 pa

is a medical superintendent. assistant
physicians and male and female nurses
at the home. During the last year
there were 1877 male patients and 262
female. Among some of the diseases
treated were cancer, paralysis, rheuma-
tism and kidney trouble, but none OF
those afflicted with mental or conta-
gious diseases Is received. Religious
affiliations of patients have nothing to
do with admission. No aid is received
from the city or state.
A bed in perpetuity may be endowed

asked to pay $500 at one time; a life
