SKETCHES.
Horace X Alexander.

1t is not often you meet gentle
man in this part of Kentucky who is
not acquainted with Horace King Al
exander. Uutil recent years he was a
stock dealer travelling all over this
section of the State and portion OF
Tennessee. One of his chief charac-
teristics is his Chesterfield manners,
a more graceful and elegant man is
rarely seen He is friend to every
body and every body is his friend. He
was born and reared in BurkeSville,
and from boy to the present day, he
has been favorite with his home PEG
pie. His lienage is as good as Kentucky
blood makes, yet he has at all times
had the utmost respect for those in
the humble walks of life. His hat is
of to every woman he meets, be she
poor or living in afiuence. Visit
Burkesville and if he is at home he
will take delight in making you &C.
quainted with the entire populace,
and if courteous treatment will make
you feel at home, the hours will pass
pleasantly while under his care.
For several years he has been on the
road, travelling for the Louisville
Grocery Company and his trade has
increased from the start. He presents
his price list and if you give him an
order you will know from his manner
that your trade is appreciated. The
longer he remains upon the road the
greater volume of business will come
his way. The house he represents i:
one of the best in Louisville, and il
made no mistake when it secured the
services of Mr.. Alexander. Living
comfortable with his wife and twt
children in his home town, he is happ!
in his efforts to Tighten their burdens
and on his return trips he is given
happy greeting by his loving compan
ion and devoted offsprings.
May his last days be the happiest

known him from boyhood TO the pres

COMMITS SUICIDE.
Wesley DOWeIl. Son of 7. B. Dow.
ell, Uses a Shot Gun 10 End
His Existence.
TRAGEDY OCCURRED AT GRANVILLE.

Last Wednesday forenoon, between
the hours of eleven and twelve O'Clock,
the news spread over Gradyville that
Wesley Dowell, son of Mr.. t. B. Dow
ell, who was about twenty three years
old, had shot and killed himself at his
fathers home.
The particulars, as we gather them,
are about as follows:
Wesley was sitting in the family
room talking to one of his sisters.
Suddenly he got up, handed her his
watch, saying: Keep this in remem-
berance of me-" He then walked up
stairs to his room where he had a
shot gun. Placing the muzzle to his
right breast, he discharged it, either
with his foot or a stick. He lived
about twenty minutes.
DR.. C. NJ. Russell, Coroner, held an
inquest and the verdict of the jury
was in accordance with the above.
We learn that he was an industrious
young man, but for some time he had
been paying his respects to a young
lady and his visits to her were not ap'
proved by his family, and that he haC
been admonished by his father and
step mother to quit keeping her com
pany.
The deceased was the only child By
T.B. DOWell's first wife.

Work of Fiscal Court

The October term of the Fiscal
Court came to a close last Friday after
noon, it being in session four days.
Besides tranSacting the usual rotine OF
business that confrontS the court every
October, the Campbellsville pike was
presented, and after the Magis-
trates viewed the road to the Taylor
county line, they decided that the
county was almost compelled to assist
in its Improvement and readily ap.
propriated 81, 500 90 to come out of the
1917 road fund. This, with the tolls,
is believed sufficient to put the road
in good condition.
The Court also applied for State Aid
for 1917 and will expect to receive
from three TO five thousand dollars, to
be used in building new roads. The
Judge was authorized to issue County
Warrants to secure the money for the
Campbellsville pike so that the road
can be put in condition before the win
ter sets in. This appropriation, with
the toll money on hand, will do con-
siderable work. DR.. Harlan Simpson
