a communication from Squire ]. K.
Helm, of the Hustonville magisterial
district, in which he gives the names
of two prominent farmers of the
West End, who will be named on the
commission to assist the Fiscal
Court in handling the road bond mo-
ney in the event the 100000 in

special election which will be held
May 18th. Squire Helm sets forth
his position already in the following:
Hustonville, May 8, 1916.
Editor Interior Journal
In case the bond issue carries, I
will appoint Jones Baughman and
John Burton, two suitable men for
commissioners of good roads. Now
as to Mr.. Baughman's credentials:
He comes from family of large
landed interests of Lincoln county,
for generations back; has had lot
of experience in road building;
knows how to take care of dollar
and will make valuable man on the
board. AS to Mr.. Burton: He
started out on the farm at so cents
day, got a start, rented a farm,
married, raised and educated a fam
lily of ten children, and now owns
farm worth $4,000. He is a
mighty clever republican and the
people will find him Johnny-on-the-
spot when it comes to spending their
money.
l have not had a chance to see
either of these gentlemen, but take it
for granted they will serve.
Very truly,
]. X. HELM, Sr.

BIG DAMAGE
VERDICT UPHELD
Court of Appeals Says Cincinnati
Southern Must Pay $12,500 to
Emmett Goode of Mckinney

After reversing the case on two
separate appeals the Court of APP
peals at Frankfort late this week af-
firmed the judgment of the Lincoln
circuit court in awarding heavy dam
ages to Emmett Goode, of Mckinney
this county, against the Cincinnati,
New Orleans & Texas Pacific rail-
road company. The amount of dam
ages which Goode was awarded by
a jury in court here at the last trial
of the case was $12, 800, which is
one of the heaviest damage judg-
ments rendered here in many moons,
Goode, who is a son of VIM. R.
Goods, a well known resident of Nc
Kinney, was employed by the rail-
road as brakeman a few years ago.
While in the service of the road,
switching at Ludlow, he had a heel
torn off Suit for damages was en-
tered and twice before jury award
ed him damages, but each time the
Court of Appeals reversed the YER
dict and sent the case back for re-
trial. The sum of $12,500 was
awarded Goode on this last trial, and
this the states highest court up
holds, so that all that is left now is
for Goode to receipt for a check
from the company. His attorneys
are Robert Harding and Emmett Pur-
year, of Danville, and T. ]. Hill, Jr.,
of Stanford.

To Get Away from Serious Situation
Cause By Big. Strike.

Joe H. Warner, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. X. Warner, of this city,
returned home Thursday from Pitts
burg, Pa, where he has been en-
ployed in the electrical department
of the big Westinghouse plant for
some time. Workmen there are on
a big strike, and it has become dan
gerous for a man to try to work
there, so Joe came home till the la
Dor troubles are settled. He says
that $4,000 or $4,000 workmen are
on strike for higher pay and short
er hours in that big manufacturing
center and that conditions are very
serious. Young Warner has made
good as an electrician and gives
promise of going to the head of his
profession in short order.

A LIVE FAIR THIS TIME.

A live bunch is at the head of the
Danville fair association this year
and the best old-fashioned country
fair Little Britain has ever had is
said to be assured. The Danville
Advocate said of the organization
and election of officers this week
The new Fair Association, which has
been organized, evidently means
business, and Danville is to have a
real live, old-fashioned country fair
this time. The recently organized
board of directors met yesterday af-
ternoon at the court house and elect
ed officers. Hugh Harrington was
elected President, Maurice j. Farris
and Homer Wray, ice-Presidents;
j. Beecher Adams, Secretary, and S.
H. Nichols, Treasurer. Messrs. Geo.
Massey c. P. Cecil, Jr., John S.
Baughman & Son, and T. E. Dunn
were also added to the list of direct
ors. The End, 3rd and 4th of August
have been chosen as the dates, be-
ginning on Wednesday and lasting
three days. The old associations
grounds are to be used and no wheels
are to be left unturned toward the
success of the project. An appeal is
to be made to the man close up, and
the man far back, by having some
thing to interest ALL The idea that
the chautauqua is to supplant the
fair has been relegated to oblivion,
and the new organization will have
as its aim the exhibition of local
products as well as good offers to
out-of-town live stock men. Boyle
county and Danville ought to have
good fair, and this organization
has every intention of making this
years attempt the best one in years..
