OF the property sold for satisfactory
prices and the promoters of the sale
did not lose anything on their veE-
ture. Mrs. w. X. Warner had the

ton to Embry Bros, for the 80 acres
which were cut up into lots and
small tracts, and put under the ham,
mer. Auctioneer j. G.. Gallagher, of
louisville, cried the sale, and gave
splendid satisfaction, while the Dan
vile band pleased everyone with its
music. The sales made were as fol-
lows.

DANGERS OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result is
Neuralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles
or sometimes an attack of Rheuma-
tism. In such cases apply Sloan's
Liniment 1t stimulates circulation
to the sore and painful part. The
blood flows freely and in a short
time the stiffness and pain leaves.
Those suffering from Neuralgia or
Neuralgia Headache will find one or
two applications of SlOan's Liniment
will give grateful relief. The agon-
izing pain gives way to a tingling
sensation of comfort and warmth and
quiet rest and sleep is possible. Good
for Neuritis too. Price 25e at your

while a negro delegate, Immediately
in front of the rostrum, looked
straight into Chairman Dixon's face
and spoke vehemently in favor of
two negro delegates.
Chairman Dixon tried to explain
to Dawson, that he was out of order,
but the latter stamped his foot,
shook his fist and sat down on the
chairman's desk smiling. By this
time half a dozen men on or near
the platform were speaking. Secre-
tary Avis S. Bennett walked over to
Dawson and threw his arms around
his shoulders, and the display of af-
lection brought another smile from
Dawson, but no indication of a will
lingness to move.
And then Mr.. Dawson, who never
wearied of well doing, but kept a
seat within six feet of Chairman
Moss and waited for openings, went
to the front of the rostrum for the
sixth time and, with a sweeping wave
of his right arm, attempted to in
fiuence the audience. He did. The
delegates howled and the band play
ed till he sat again on the chairman's
table. But the convention voted him
and Gentry down.
May Hold Negro Convention.
That the action of the republican
convention in turning down Gentry
and the negro delegates is bitterly
resented by them, is shown by story
in the republican Lexington Leader
published Thursday which says:
A second State Republican conven-
ton, is to be called at the instigation
of colored Republican leaders, may be
a result of the dissatisfaction engen-
dered among some of the colored
delegates by the Louisville resolu-
tions.
The colored Republican organiza-
ton known as the Republican Pacific
and Political League, will, it is I'M
derstood, assume the direction of
calling a second convention. George
w. Gentry of Lincoln county, is pres
ident of the league; DR.. E. Under
wood, of Frankfort, is Vice Presi-
dent, and j. E. Wood, of Danville,
secretary; Ed Chenault and Ed Will
lis, of Lexington, are actively inter-
ested.
Chenault said that the colored del
egates had no voice in the conven-
ton in many instances; that the
chairman voted them in some cases
and that others were counted after
they had left the hall. "The honest
white republicans will concede that
were entitled to one-fourth rep
on the delegation We
were not consulted at all as to the
one half vote proposition. The only
Negro admitted to the party councils
was Phil Brown, and we feel that he
betrayed US.
eff it had not been for the colored
Republicans, who sat still in the boat
and voted under the Log Cabin to
man, there would be no Republican
party in Kentucky today. The col
ored voter has been the solid basis
of Republican success in his state,
and now all he asks is that the party
will not permit a handful of office
holders to take away what little he
has been given of party honors and
recognition"

nicely. Our teachers are putting
forth every effort for the uplifting
and upbuilding of the bright minds
entrusted to their care. And right

known brighter talent than the

we would like to mention each pu-
pill by name, as all acquitted them
selves with distinction. On each
Thursday morning hereafter will be
held interesting exercises and the
teachers would be much encouraged
if parents, and those interested in
education would attend. The pros
