Chief Carter, who has just been
reelected for another term by the
Stanford City Council, is one of the
best known peace officers up in this
end of the state. He has made a
splendid record since being at the
head of Stanford's police department
being fearless in the performance of
his duty and tireless worker. Chief
Carter fills well place that is one
of the hardest in the world in which
to please everyone, and the longer he
is in Office the more friends and ad-
mirers he makes. He is just now
barely able to be out after a serious
fall while leading the fight to save
the home of well known citizen
from destruction by fire a few nights
ago. There's nothing the Chief will
not do to help friend, and this fact
that he can always be relied on, is
one of the reasons for his popularity.

METEOR SEEN AT
AN EARLY HOUR
Lights Up Sky AS 1t Flashes Across
Heavens About Dawn Wednes-
day-Many Saw 1t

The meteor which flashed across
the sky at an early hour Wednes-
day morning was plainly seen by a
number of Lincoln county people
who happened to be up as early as
half past five o'clock. The first to
make report to the /. ]. was Coun-
Gilman E. L. Reinhart, who saw it
as he was delivering the morning
papers on Danville avenue. He said
mat it lighted up the heavens as it
scared from northeast to northwest.
Mr.. Reinhart says that Doc Huffman
and his brothers on Danville pike
saw it and thought German airship
was dropping bomb. Will Chance
Tor, on the Crab Orchard pike, saw
it and believed that it struck the
earth a short distance from his
home.
A man near H. X. Cooley in Scott
county, claims to have discovered
part of the meteor in ravine near
his farm. Dispatches from Cincin-
cinnati say that it was wildly seen
IN that section and that loud eXplo-
son was heard soon after the meteor
appeared to strike the ground.
Quite a number of superstitious
and ignorant thought that the end
of the world was at hand. A great
many people everywhere saw the un-
canny visitor and it was generally
recognized as common phenomenon
and regarded with curiosity rather
than fear. The Weather Bureau at
Louisville made the following state
ment about the matter:
"More or less, all space is filled
with material thrown off by stars
and other bodies. When particles of
this material reach our atmosphere
they burn with light more or less
brilliant and are thus called to our
notice. They are composed of mat
ter of the same kinds found in our
earth which becomes fused in our
atmosphere and preponderance of
magnetic iron usually is left.
"The bodies may be of trif1ing
size or as large as table, desk or
half a house. The one that caused
such excitement Wednesday morn
ing probably came pretty close to US
from what | have heard of its bril-
liancy, and maybe struck somewhere
within a radius of so miles of Louis
ville-but that is pretty big area
in which to find thing even as big
as a house MeteorS are flying thro'
space all the time, but only when
they reach our atmosphere and burn
are we aware of them"

territory "a permanent water sup

of many thousands of dollars to be

AS a very striking illustration
of the necessity of economy at our

ment was obliged to borrow $4,000

meet pressing obligations.
Mr.. Sharp is, in my opinion, an
