Historic House Burns
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher Herring Lose
Dwelling and All Contents.
Preachersville. Ky., Oct. 20.

FREDERICKSBURG, n.y., OCI. ZO.
The stone residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fisher Herring near here, just
over the line in Garrard on brakes
creek, burned down about eight o.
clock Saturday night. Very little of
the household furniture was saved,
the fire having gained such Roadway
before neighbors arrived on the
scene. Mrs. Herring had probably the
largest and costiest collection of an
tique furniture in Central Kentucky
all of which was total loss. Very
little of their library was saved and
a lot of jewelry and manuscripts
were consumed. No insurance. Mrs.
Herring was visiting in Lancaster at
the time, while Mr.. Herring was at
Preachersville. Some of the neighbors
made heroic efforts to enter the
building but were repulsed by the
flames which came as if from roar
ing furnace. The structure was a
large two-story stone building and
the interior wood work was all cut
out by a whip saw and put together
by hand forged nails. 1t was built
prior to 1894 by Rev. Thomas Will
liams, an early Baptist preacher, who
was one of the thirteen original
members who organized brakes
Greek church in 1901. The house was
built with high, narrow windows and
heavy oaken doors, with several port
holes commanding each side from
whence the rifle men might repel the
Indians. This house was one of the
four original "Stone Forts" built at
that remote period in brakes creek
valley. Three of the number burned,
two of which were rebuilt, one again
burning a few years afterward.
Miss Dolly Ballard, the 14-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Bal
lard, is critically i'll of typhoid fever.
The protracted meeting at the Bap-
fist church conducted by Rev. j. W.
Beagle, the pastor, closed last week
with IA additions.

Teddy Couldn't Stop
Special Very Late So No Stop Was
Made for Speech Here.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, expires
ident of the United States, and tour
ing the country on behalf of Hughes
the republican candidate for presi-
dent, disappointed some 1000 or
l, 500 people here Wednesday night,
when his special train "highballed'
on through Stanford, and did not
stop for Teddy to make a speech as
he had been advertised to do. The
special was running very late, how
ever, due to the fact that Roose-
velts' speeches consumed more time
than had been anticipated. The
train did not pass through Stanford
until about 6:15 when it was SEIZED
uled here for :33. 1t was necessary
that no stops be made at small towns
in order for Roosevelt to get to
Louisville in time for his night
speech there.
Republicans, Democrats, Bull
Moose and every other sort of voter
gathered here by hundreds from this
and surrounding counties to see the
Terrible Teddy, and hear what he
had to say. King Swope, of Dan
vile, and other local speakers en-
tertained the crowd during its long
wait. Roosevelt was heard by ire
mendous crowd at Louisville, where
he bitterly attacked President Will
son and his peaceful policies. His
speech was almost entirely a person
al attack upon President Wilson. By
ridicule and abuse of the foreign
policy of Mr.. Wilson, he sought to
show why the Republican party
should be restored to power. He said
the President had been guilty of the
following:
yielding to force in the enact
ment of the Adamson eight-hour law
for railroad men;
Failing % hold Germany to strict
accountability for the invasion of
Belgium;
Saying he was too proud to fight
over the murder of 1894 men, wo-
men and children on the Lusitania !;
Failing to protect property rights
of American citizens against Great
Britain's blockade;
''Prostituting Americas National
honor to Mexican bandits, in return
for which he has won only venom
Gus and treacherous hostility to the
United States;
Instead of speaking softly and
carrying a big stick President Will
son spoke enthusiastically and carried
a dishrag," said Colonel Roosevelt.

Some Pig Tale, This
Fat Hog Falls Thro' Culvert, Is
Found Alive Six Weeks Later
Preachersville, KY, Oct. 20

Preachersville, KY, Oct. 20.
About six weeks ago Tom Gill
drove bunch of hogs, about 60 in
number to Rowland for j. NJ. Cress
When arriving at the stock yards
where the bunch was counted, it
was found that one of the porkers
was missing. Mr.. Gill thought it had
crept through some opening in the
and much subsequent inquiry is failed
to locate the missing hog. AS the hog
weighed about 275 pounds and hogs
were then selling at nine cents, here
was a dead loss of almost S25. Last
Thursday the head stock driver, w.
7. Blankenship, when on the road
with bunch of sheep and cattle be-
loxpi2g to Mr.. Cress, was keen-eyed
enough to find the missing swine
where it had been all the time, in
plain sight of all who passed the road
during the time the hog was gone.
Near the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. F. Lawrence their spring branch
leaves their premises and runs under
the pike, and into the field below. At
the end of the culvert the water had
washed out quite a sink hole about
three feet wide and three feet deep,
and drift and mud had filled the cul-
vert and it was thereby put out of
commission. Here in this narrow pris-
on the hog had fallen while being
crowded along by the rest of the
drove. AS the man in charge did not
see it fall in, it was "out of sight,
out of mind" Here for six weeks it
had subsidized on the bark of the syc-
amore roots ard the least possible
amount of water during the continu-
ed drouth. When first lost it was fat
enough to butcher; when found it
was a shadow. lean, lank and posi-
lively disgusting in appearance. At
ter a few days careful nursing and
dieting the hollow-sided spectre is
feeling like a new hog. About five
days before, young Blankenship,
while with a drove of cattle, saw the
hog in this sink hole, but failed to
connect it with the missing one,
which by this time had about been
given up for good. He thought it was
only a rambling roadside hog and
could walk back through the culvert
to where it could regain the highway.
Thinking no more about it at the
time he was much surrised to see the
same hog in the same place on the
morning of the discovery and curios-
ity prompted him to investigate which
resulted in piggy being restored to
his owner. Moral Our county Off
Gals while out inspecting Dixie
Highways in their "autobiles" would
do well to hook up old Dobbin and
inspect some of our East End roads
which need something and need it
badly. The above mentioned culvert
is not the only one which is "blind"
several can be found, and some cul-
verts are now positively dangerous.

WILSON AT CHICAGO.

In three speeches In Chicago
Thursday, where he was welcomed
by great cheering crowds in the
streets, and at meetings, President
Wilson declared the hour had come
for rallying the forces of society I'M
der a common banner, sort of ere
Nuisance of patriotic responsibility
and that women would display dis
tinguished part in the new order,
while the employer who would not
voluntarily consider the employees
conditions would be made by law to
do so. A delegation of the National
Women's party attempted an anti
Wilson demonstration and were
roughly handled in a near-riot, their
banners being taken from them and
trampled.

federal farm loan board, which heard
farmers from three states here today
urging that farm loan bank be locat-

"That is something we will have to

What the commissioners said was the
biggest crowd that has attended any

So large was the crowd that when
the 500 seats in the federal court room

URGE lyman TO LEAVE
CONVICTS IN Canon

An interesting meeting was hell
Thursday evening at Eagles hall, the
lyman of the state penitentiary to rc-
lent from his decision to move the
convict camp from Garfield county.
w. S Parkison called the meeting to
order and stated the purpose of the
gathering. C. R. Mccarthy of the First
National bank was elected chairman.
The letter which Mr.. lyman forward
e1stp fhe board iof. bounty commission
ers was read and discussed by those
present. Mr.. Tynan's 8 decision seems
to be based almost entirely on the fact
that jury failed to convict F. D..
Rice of charge of smuggling fire
arms to one of the convicts on the road
camp. 1t was thought that if Mr.. Ty-
nan could be advised as to the evil
dence which was presented to the jury
he could not reasonably hold this com
"'"h''. 'eSP'heibi' ioi th' idh"ie l"
secure a conviction.
1t was stated that the sheriff's office
has not been in harmony with the con-
Wet plan of building roads and Mr..
lyman has felt that this was serious
handicap. However, those who take
this view of the matter do not seem
very keen to know the reason why this
situation is as it is.
After the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed by those present a motion final
ly prevailed that committee he ap'
pointed to draft a petition to Mr.. Ty-
nan, stating the facts as we see them.
promising him the cooperation of the
community and the county officials, set
ting forth the expense Of the county in
cured in preparing for the road camp.
and the necessity for keeping the men
here until the road is finished.
This motion prevailed and the com
mittee appointed consists of DR.. W. W.
Crook, Senator B. T. Napier, Ed Nc
