Since our President has flung his bat
tie line from Washington to Kansas,
and made his famous observations
about the world being on fire, and the
sparks were falling everywhere, it
seems the people have settled down to
the general routine of business and
'twatchful waiting" until he reverses
his opinion on preparedness. He has
proven himself such poor prophet in
the past, it is evident the most of US
would rather trust him as a historian.
He was sure four years ago he did not
want to be president but one term, but
since he has dined for about three years
at the White House he refuses to re-
linquish his place. 1t is to be supposed
he likes the job. But there are many

K. P.'S CALL FAIR OEE.

At the regular meeting of the To-
cal Knights of Pythias lodge last
week the lodge voted not to conduct
fair this year. Many of the men,
bers feel that they should let "well
enough alone" and having come out
on the right side of the ledger after
so many trials, should not tempt for
tune again. 1t is said to be practical
ly certainty, however, that a fair
will be held in Stanford promoted by
a stock company. The Stanford fair
has become almost the best adver-
tised and known country fair in this
section of Kentucky, has done a
great deal toward advertising STAN
ford and Lincoln county and a ma
jority of the business men feel that
it should not be allowed to lapse
after such a successful sea-
son as it just experienced.

THAT EAST END CULVERT.

County Road Engineer Mckee
Rife, who has about the biggest job
of any county official, in supervising
the entire 500 or so miles of roads in
Lincoln county, and is kept, on the
jump all the time, says that wrong
impression has been given of the
condition of a certain culvert in the
East End by the l. Us correspondent
at Preachersville. In order to set
the matter right, Mr.. Rife gave the
/. j. the following statement:
In regard to the article by the
Preachersville correspondent in Fri
days l. j., | wish to correct his state
ment of the condition of the Gull
verts in that section. Upon my reg
ular trip of inspection last week, l
found the "hog culvert" absolutely
not out of commission, or in any
way dangerous to travel, it having
never been stopped in the two years
of my management, and Mr.. Law
renee assured me that it is in prac-
tically as good condition as it was
fifteen years ago. But / did find
culverts along the property where
Mr.. Blankenship lives partially or
wholly stopped by limbs and other
trash washed from his place, and one
twenty-four inch metal tube just in
front of his house with a washtub
placed over the end putting it COM
pletely out of commission, and caus-
ing the water to overflow the pike
l also POUNDS his very dangerous
culvert" with a large quantity of de-
bris from his farm choking the end,
causing the water to undermine the
walls.
AS l have stated before, ninety per
cent of the damage done by water
to the roads, is caused by the farm
ers obstructing the bitches or cul-
verts by carelessly or willfully plac-
ing hedge trimmings, limbs from
trees, stones and such like in the
bitches or culverts. If anyone know
ing of dangerous place in the road
will report same to road engineer,
it will receive his immediate atten-
ton, and by thus cooperating with
the engineer more good can be done
than by making undeserved and un-
just. comments.

Freight Cars In Ditch
Ten Cars Jump Track Near Hemp
About Noon Saturday

Ten freight cars on the train run
by Engineer Fox Dudderar and Con-
ductor ]. A. Carter, of this city, went
off the track and cluttered up sever
al hundred yards of the right of way,
short distance west of Hemp about
noon Saturday. Luckily the engine
was not pulled from the track and no
one was hurt. The cars which went
over were two cars of coal, five CARS
of rock ballast, one car of scrap iron
and two empties. Most of the cars
and contents went down an enbank-
ment into the farm of James H.
Woods, who bought some mighty
cheap coal from the railroad as re-

REPUBLICAN TALKS
BEFORE JAMES TELLING WHY
HE WILL VOTE FOR WILSON
Both u. S. Senators Address Big
Crowds In This Section-More
Speaking Dates.

Two great speeches for Democracy
were delivered up in this neck of the
woods Monday by Kentucky's two dis
tinguished United States Senators.
Senator James spoke at Somerset and
Senator Beckham at Mt. Vernon.
Both were heard by tremendous au-
diences and made magnificent speech
es. Before Senator James spoke at
Somerset, Edward Weddle, men,
Der of the prominent family of that
name in Pulaski county, and who has
been a lifelong republican, told why
he will vote for Woodrow Wilson this
year and gave many strong argu-
ments why every working man should
vote the same way. Weddle is an en-
ploye of the Cincinnati Southern and
made telling talk and is doing fine
work for Wilson, who, he says, has
proven himself the friend of the poor
and the laboring man while Hughes
is known to be the candidate of the
rich interests.
A crowd of 5000 people were held
entranced for alomts three hours by
Senator James great speech. The big
senator has been speaking all over
the west for Wilson and declares that
Wilson is a sure winner.
Senator Beckham was also heard
by one of the biggest gatherings ev-
er seen in Mt. Vernon on such an oc-
casion, and his plea for votes for the
greatest president since Lincoln was
a mastery one and went right to the
hearts of the people who heard him.
More speaking dates have been ar
ranged for the closing days of the
campaign in Lincoln county. Hon.
Orie S. Ware, of Covington, who was
at first scheduled, has been unable
to get away, so George Dupree, who
is said to be a splendid speaker, will
take his place at Waynesburg and
Hustonville. Dates so far arranged
for speakings in this county are:

in COUNTRY'S FLAG
SERGEANT JOHN HUBBLE is
LAID TO REST.
Popular Mckinney Young Man Dies
on Mexican Border-Masons
Conduct Funeral Rites

Wrapped in the flag of the coun-
try whose cause he served, the re-
mains of Sergeant John Hubble were
brought back to his home at McKin-
ney Saturday night and returned to
the father who gave his only son to
the service of his country. Sergeant
Hubble died at Fort Bliss, Ell Paso,
Texas, last Wednesday, Oct. 18th,
after long illness of dysentery,
complicated with heart trouble. News
of his death caused profound sor-
row here and at his home at McKin-
ney, where he was so well known and
beloved. John Hubble was a splen-
did young man in every way, and
was making a model soldier in the
service of Uncle Sam on the bor-
der under Gen. Pershing. He enlist
ed as a private and by devotion to
duty, energy and ability was pro-
NOTED to Sergeant, and seemed des-
tined to go still higher, for his mer-
it and ability had been frequently
recognized by his superior officers
and most highly commended by them
in every way. His captain and 9TH
ers who knew him well paid high
and sincere tribute to him in a let
ter to the family, and it is felt gen.
orally that the service and the coun-
try has lost most useful soldier and
a citizen of the highest type. He
was just 38 years of age, and had
made his home at Mckinney prac-
tically all his life when not in the
army. Besides his father, John NJ.
Hubble, he is survived by four sis
ters.
Sergeant Hubble was a member of
the Mckinney lodge of Masons and
after religious services at the home
by Rev. R. L. Brandenburg, of Hus-
Monday, the members of
this great fraternity took charge of
the remains and held their beautiful
rites at the grave in Buffalo Springs
cemetery here. Col. c. N. Smith, of
Danville, accompanied by others from
there and over this county, came
over, and conducted the Masonic GER
over the bier of their de-
parted brother.

Mrs. Owsley Hurt
Buggy Turns Over When 1t Strikes
Rock Pile On Danville Pike

Mrs. John Sam Owsley, wife of the
well known local attorney, sustain
ed a very painful and severe frac-
ture of her right ankle Monday night
about six o'clock when a buggy in
which she and Mrs. w. A. Tribble
were returning from Danville struck
a pile of rock which had been left
piled up in the center of the pike
near the residence of ]. Frank Smith
by the construction crew at work re-
building the pike, with no red Ian
tern to indicate its presence. When
the buggy struck the heaped up
stone, and began to go over, Mrs.
Tribble jumped and saved herself,
but Mrs. Owsley was caught under
the vehicle, and it is regarded as very
fortunate that she was not more Sc
riously hurt. There was a passway
on each side Of the stone heap, but
in the darkness neither of the ladies
saw the obstruction in the center of
the pike as there was no light upon
it, and the place where the accident
occurred is several hundred yards
outside the city limits.
Luckily the horse they were driv-
ing made no effort to run away. Mrs.
Owsley was quickly taken to the
home of Mr.. Smith, where her brok-
en- limb was set by physician, after
which w. H. Shanks took her to her
apartments at Mrs. Tribble's home
in his motor car.
The injury is very painful and Sc
rious one, and will keep her confined
to her bed for some time. The bug
gy these ladies were in is said to
have been the third to have turned
over on the rocks on this pike, since
reconstruction work began. This was
the only accident which had a seri-
Gus termination, however.
