MISSED INsuRANY AGEN3
On Phone Call So Joe Will Rout Lost
Heavily-Hoffman Had $1,000.

NJ. J. Hoffman, of Williamsburg,
was here late last week en- route to
Moreland to see what was left of his
large barn which was struck by light
ming and completely destroyed by
fire late last week. He took with
him Jesse D. Wearen, local insur-
ance man, in whose companies Mr.
Hoffman carried $1,000 insurance
on the structure. This, however,
will not compensate him for the hea-
Wy loss sustained as he built the barn
at cost of about $4,000 and it was
considered one of the finest in that
part of the county if not the finest.
The heaviest loser from the catastro-
phe, however was Joe Will Rout who
had no insurance on the contents of
the barn and lost about 81 900 worth
of stuff, which he can i'll afford to
lose. 1t was irony of fate that Mr..
Rout should suffer such a loss, for
only the evening before the building
and contents were destroyed, he had
endeavored to get Mr.. Wearen over
the phone here to place insurance
with him, but was unable to catch
Mr.. Wearen just at that time, and
the next day the building and con-
tents were destroyed.

DISTRICT GAME WARDEN BUSY

District Game Warden Sam j. En-
bry went to Mercer county Monday
to look over the situation and see
that the fish and game laws are being
carefully observed. He will spend
this week in Mercer and then cover
Boyle and Casey counties, which
with Lincoln, comprise his district.
Mr.. Embry has been giving special
attention to violations of the fishing
laws in this section and recently was
up all night long endeavoring to
catch some seiners who were sus-
pected of violating the law. The
new warden hopes for the active CO.

fish and game and is determined to
do everything in his power to see
that the laws are rigidly enforced.

HARRODSBURG
FAIR TOMORROW
Stanford Will Send Big Delegation
to Harrodsburg-Everybody
Boosting K p. Fair Here

The country fair circuit in this
section of the state begins at Har-
rodsburg this week, and as usual
Lincoln county will send over a big
delegation. The Harris & Woods
string of mules will be on hand as
usual and will get a big portion of
the blues. Several high class colts
from this county will probably be
started at the Mercer county fair.
Plans are being made by a great
many to motor over to Harrods-
burg. From talk heard, it appears
that the largest delegations from
this county may go over Thursday,
the second day of the fair. 1t is
expected that probably fifty autOmo-
bile loads will go over from Lincoln
county that day. The K. P. boys
who are boosting StanfOrd's great
fair with might and main viii send
over a big bunch to boost from start
to finish for Stanford's great fair,
August %. "a and %. The same
program win be carried out at the
Danville fair next week. In fact,
nothing is going to be left undone to
let the world know that the greatest
country fair in the state is going to
be held at Stanford this year. Adj
vertisement of the big Harrodsburg
fair which begins tomorrow, We'd
nesday, is found on another page.
A splendid premium list is offered
and with good weather, it ought to
be a great success.
A letter from Walter Briggs, of
Powhatan Stock Farm, Pewee Val
ley, states that he intends bringing
his splendid string of horses to the
K. of P. fair here-Aug. %, "a, 25.
Mr.. Briggs won the $500 saddle
stake here last year. He has many
friends here who will be glad to see
him again.

LANCASTER COURT DAY
Three Candidates for Congress
There, But Business Dull.

There was not much doing at Lam
caster court Monday. The crowd
was small and business was quiet.
Farmers were too busy to leave
home and many of the traders were
not on hand from some cause. There
was a bunch of mountain ewes on
the market which sold at 81 and a
few heifers that were bought at 6
1-2 cents, which was about the eX-
tent of the trading at the cattle
pens. Quite a number of mules
were on the square and several
changed hands. They brought all
the way from S120 to $182.50.
Army horses were scarce and Louis
Peel, of Nicholasville, and w. B.
Burton picked up only few, for
which they paid around the 500
mark.
There were three of the four can
didates for Congress present-Hon,
Harvey Helm, Senator Charles F
Montgomery and Dr.. R. L. Dawson
Each did his share of Misunderstanding
and got just as close to the dear
people as the hot weather would per-
nit. They all seemed satisfied with
their days work, while the voters
were delighted at the thought of the
Congressional race being brought to
a close in the next ten days or so.
A farmers meeting was held al
the courthouse at 2 O'Clock of which
w. R. Cook was made chairman and
r. L. Elkin secretary. The object
was to discuss the feasibility of Sc.
curing a farm demonstration. A
committee composed of Mr.. Cook, ]
II. Dalton and G. B. Swinebroad was
appointed to look further into the
matter and report next court day
Although not largely attended, the
meeting was rather enthusiastic.

CLARK JORDAN
CROSSES RIVER
Former Proprietor of ST. Asaph Ho'
tel Passes Away Monday After
Making His Peace With God.

News of the death of Edward
Clark Jordan at an early hour Mon
day morning caused profound grief
among the many friends he had
made here since coming to Stanford
about five years ago to assume the
management of the st. Asaph Hotel.
For the past few weeks he had
been gradually sinking, and realized
in his lucid moments that the end was
near and having made his peace with
God was ready and willing to go.
The coming of the Death Angel for
his spirit must have been indeed a
relief to his tortured frame, and it
was with a gentle sigh that he passed
over into that "UnknOwn Country"
that bcurn from whence no traveller
has e'er returned.
Mir. Jordan was a native OF Ma
son county, Virginia, and was AT
years of age. He is survived by his
wife, who is daughter of Col. ]. H.
Daigh, of Waynesburg. For several
years the deceased conducted the no
tel at Waynesburg, but about five
years ago he came to Stanford and
bought the st. Asaph Hotel from the
late c. C. Gooch. He conducted it
until a few weeks ago when he leased
it to B. d. Carter and Son, and then
took rooms at the home of Walter
Jones on Danville street, where his
death occurred and from whence the
funeral will be held this afternoon
at o'clock.
A man of the most positive con-
victions, Mr.. Jordan, was withal one
of the kindest hearted and most
charitably inclined, who ever engag-
ed in a public business in Stanford.
What he did of his means, for relief
of the poor and distressed, was done
without display or ostentation, how
ever, and no one will probably ever
know on this earth the extent of his
generosity and the scope of his char
aity. But those who knew the man
and his good works and generous
deeds, feel sure that his name is
written up there as one who often
ministered unto "the least of these
my children" and that his reward
viii be accordingly.
Funeral services will be conduct
ed this afternoon at 3. o'clock by D.
M. Walker, assited by Revs. NJ. D.
Early and p. L. Bruce, after which
interment will be in Buffalo Springs
cemetery. Stanford lodge, No. 156,
l. o. o. F., of which deceased was a
member, will conduct the beautiful
funeral rites of the order over the
grave of their departed brother The
pallbearers will be: Mesrs. B. L. Fa-
galy, ]. E. Jordan, F. C. Weick, B.
ID. Carter, T. ]. Hill, Jr., and ]. w.
Acey.
Rev. R. r. Noel, the aged Baptist
divine, who has boarded at the de-
ceased's hotel for a number of years.
saw him every day and knew him in
timately, has written the following
tribute to his memory:

In Memoriam.

Edward Clark Jordan was born
July 2, 1869 in Mason county, Va,
and died July %, 1916. He leaves
a wife and two brothers, two sisters
and many friends to mourn his de-
parture. Mr.. Jordan moved from
Waynesburg about five years ago and
became proprietor of the st. Asaph
Hotel in this city. AS landlord he
was model. Upon the walls of his
Office were cards bearing in large
letters, Positively No Card Play
ing;" a nicely bound Bible was in
the rack over the commercial table.
Mr.. Jordan had never joined the
church. Several years ago, DR.. Rod
dy assisted the writer in a meeting
at Waynesburg. A large number
were baptized, his father-in-law be-
ing one of them. His wife joined by
letter. Mr.. Jordan was deeply con-
cerned. Time passed. About ~
days before his death, he took the
writer by the hand and with joy ac-
cepted Jesus Christ as his savior. His
hope like an anchor over and within
the vale, seemed to be sure and
steadfast. A few hours before death
he cried whilst suffering: "Jesus
come and help me-"
We mourn, but not without hope.
To his beloved wife, brothers and
sisters we offer deepest sympathy.
Mr.. Jordan was member of
Stanford lodge No. 156, l. o. o. F.,
also a member of the Maccabees at
Waynesburg. DR.. Walker was a
great friend and favorite and will
conduct services assisted by DIR.

BEE LICK MAN DEAD.

NJ. G. Reynolds, known to his
many friends as "Bud," died at his
home at Bee Lick a few days ago,
aged so. He was a brother of ].
M. Reynolds, the well-known mer-
chant of that place, and a brother
in-law of Josh Wilson, of the East
End. He had suffered from heart
trouble for years and had been an
invalid for some time. A wife and
nine children survive the good man.
Since youth he had been a member
of the Christian church and his work
in the masters vineyard covered a
long period. The burial took place
at Bethel church.

BIG TIMES AT THE SPRINGS
Season On At Full Blast-Stanford
Parties Motor Up for Bathing.

The season at famous old Crab
Orchard Springs in the East End of
this county is now on at full blast
and the big hotel will hardly accom-
modate the guests who are pouring
in from everywhere to drink the
health-giving waters and to secure
rest and recuperation.
Crab Orchard is being restored to
its popularity of the ante-bellum days
and right now there are families
here. from Georgia, Tennessee, W.
Va, California and New Orleans, be-
sides many from Cincinnati, Louis
vile and Central Kentucky towns.
The mineral waters that have
made that section famous for more
than century, whet the appetite
the more for the old country ham
and friend chicken that are served
each day and for the hot rolls anC
corn pones and the vegetables gath
cred from the garden.
A new tennis court is being con
structed, and will prove very popu
lar. One of the most popular diver
sions is bathing, and almost every
afternoon the pool and lake are
crowded with swimmers. Quite /;
number from Stanford have beer
forming bathing parties, motoring
up to Crab Orchard in the after
noon and remaining for supper par
ties in the evenings. 1t is getting
to be very popular.
Forty guests enjoyed a Virgini;
reel last Thursday night, and mer
and women who had not danced fol
thirty years "sachetted" to old-fash
toned tunes, to the merriment of thu
many onlookers.
Thursday morning Mrs. Will.

MRS. NOE SELLS GOOD ONE,

Mrs. Hugh Noe, of this city, who
is undoubtedly the most accomplish
ed equestrienne in this part of the
state, and one of the best judges of
a horse anywhere, last week sold her
five-year-old blood bay mare to Eide
len & Coleman, of Burgin for $3.50.
Mrs. Noe has been schooling this
mare ever since she sold her other
splendid saddler Red Bird, for fan
cy price to these same buyers who
obtained him for an eastern CUSTOM
er. She had her in fine shape. Mrs.
Noe is now in the market for another
green saddler four or five years old,
which must be the right stuff.
