VOTE FOR tom BALLARD.
For Sheriff

To the voters of Garrard County:-
1t is generally known that the late
Curt A. Robinson was elected sheriff
of Garrard county by one Of the largest
majorities ever given any man, and
that George T. Ballard Jr., was his
chief deputy, George 7. Ballard ST.,
his father, being partner with Mr..
Robinson in the emoluments or fees of
the office. If Mr.. Ballard is elected
for the two years. vet remaining of the
term, he Is pledged. and justly so. to
give the widow of Mr.. Ro66eDn half
the profits or fees of the office, which
as certainly belong to her as any pro-
perty he left her. The truth is, an Of
fee is a most sacred property right, be-
ing bestowed by the people, the high
est authority. and il would be the gros-
sest injustice to deprive the holders OF
such property Of their rights. II is
not believed that the voters Of Garrard
county will overlook the principles Of
justice and equity in this race. II the
office belonged to Robinson and Ballard
before Mr.. Robiason's death. the re-
msinder of the term belongs to Ballard
and Mr.. Robinson's widow.
II the voters will calmly consider
this, as matter of right and justice.
they will not recall or revoke what they
have done. and Tom Ballard will be
elected by an overwhelming majority.

What The DOG TAX DOES.

sheep killed, will contribute s39. 622. &c
toward the education of the 743, sol
school children in Kentucky this year.
While 1t will go back to the counties
from which it originated, and while
some counties exhausted the fund pay
ing for doe>kiled sheep. which makes
the distribution unequal, the dog will
have contributed proportionate share
of the State school fund amounting to
over Is cents for each child.

POWER FROM DkNVILLE

DR.. Fayette Dunlap and Messrs Irvine
and Lipps of Danvile met by invitation.
a special meeting of the city council
last Monday night, at which tine the
ACCESSIBILITY of getting electricity from
The Danville Light and Power Company
was discussed. The plan suggested is
a very plausible one, while nothing de-
finite has been proposed as to the price,
ii is believed by those who know, that
it will be much cheaper than it can be
produced here. These gentlemen re-
presenting the Danville power plant,
have promised TO make proposition to
the council the next meeting night.
which will be the frat Monday night in
October. Cities very much larger than
Lancaster are getting there Juice"
from other cities; Paris being one that
gets her service from Lexington. We
are told. for less than two cents a
kilowat. 1t is thought that Lancaster by
building the line to Dsnville. can get
this ''juice" for about two cents. This
will give US twenty-four hour service
at much less cost than we are now
getting for an eight hour service. The
city should own and control her light
plant and this looks like good pro-
position on the face Of it.
