Frightening for her in the Heavenly
Realm, her happy awakening being a
joyous greeting from many, immortal
loved ones who babe her a glad Good
morning.
Mrs. Walker had recently suffered a
severe cold. but was apparently con-
valescent, when Wednesday brought a
change in her condition, her extreme
feebleness indicating that the flicker
ing flame of life was burning low, and
that at the advanced age of 92, her
birthday occurring on the 2lst of this
month, she could not long survive her
extremely exhausted state.
Mrs. Walker. who was Miss Frances
Ann Baker. daughter of Captain Abner
Baker. was born and reared in Lancas-
ter. her mother having been Miss Blu
ford. The two-story, frame Baker
home in the South Lancaster Suburb

citizens, this pioneer family having
been among the most prominent and in

to county courts and county officials.
Road building propagandas have been
launched in more definite form than
ever before when connecting highways

aroused to a higher pitch than state

That the Lancaster delegation at this

by the many press notices it received
from the different dailies represented

has long been recognized as one of the
staunchest friends of the temperance
cause in the Newspaper fraternity. In
the Record this week we publish an
article from his pen opposing the
adoption by the democrats at this time
of Statewide as a party measure.
There are thousands of democratic
prohibitionist in the State who agree
with this popular democratic editor and
who would like to see Kentucky in the
dry column, yet who do not think the
party can with wisdom and safety I'M
dertake such task without jeopardiz-

understood that State wide i a far
more radical and far reaching measure
than county unit and with the other
perplexing conditions that are facing
the party, democrats who are truly
interested in party success both in the
Nation and in the State should consider
well the probable outcome of contest
with our common enemy before they
declare their purpose to adopt this
issue. The temperance people of Ken

think to the great accomplishment for
temperance brought about through the
democratic party for the past few

their support to the action of majority

SEVEN GOVERNORS
TO NAME FOURTEEN men WHO WILL
Select Dixie Highway Route.

OF the two thousand delegates who
attended the Conference of Governors
at Chattanooga last Saturday, none
were more enthusiastic, earnest and
patriotic than the delegates that went
from Lancaster to show the people why
the Dixie Highway should go through
1.-The Land OF Now" and traverse
Garrard County the entire length. That
they were successful, remains to be
seen by later developments. One
thing is certain, that is. if Cincinnati
gets the Dixie Highway, it will GER
tainly go through our beautiful city.
This Highway which will run from
Chicago to Miami. Fla. will be located
by commission of fourteen men, to
be appointed two each by the Governors
of Illinois. Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Georgia and Florida.
AS the Lincoln highway connects New
York with San Francisco, so il is pro-
posed that the north and south shall be
united by similar road From the
land of pines through The Land of
Now to the land of palms" thousands
of tourists will travel each year, by this
highway. In the early winter there is
rush to Florida. In the spring the
movement is reversed.

movement estimate that million mo-
florists north of the Ohio river are ready
and anxious to tour the south next win

after. In Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Missouri, Michigan, Indiana. Illinois
and Ohio there are 33,000,OOO people
who last year owned $50, 600 automobile

lines, touring and seeing things.
