Folks From Lincoln
Got Their Share of Blues at Mt.
Vernon's Splendid Fair.

Quite a number of Lincoln county
people attended the Mt. Vernon fair
and some of them took stock. AS
usual they were successful, Sterling
Curtis winning probably the most
ribbons. He had several head OF
good horses and won nearly every
time he entered one of them. Bun
Gaines had no stock there but mule
that was sired by his noted jack was
a big winner of the blue ties. The
fair was well attended and the show
of stock was all that could have been
expected. The crowd Thursday, the
largest in point of attendance, was
estimated at $500 to 5000. There
were many attractions, free and
otherwise, and the accession was one
long to be remembered. 1t was some
thing like big picnic, where all
went in for good time and had it.
The officers and directors were ex-
ceedingly courteous to their guests
and did all in their power for the
delegation. Edgar Albright, editor
of the Signal, was untiring in looking
after the crowd, the show rings and
everything in and around the fair
grounds. He seemed to possess the
peculiar faculty of being in two or
three places at the same time and
doing good work in all of them.
w. H. Fish, the efficient and clever
secretary, ought to be reelected by
an overwhelming majority for anoth-
er year, or just as many years as he
will take the office. He is the right
man for the place. Quick, oblging,
painstaking and clever, he made a
secretary satisfactory to all and at
the same time made friends Of all
with whom he cane in contact.
1t was most creditable exhibition
and while the people of Rockcastle
generally are to be congratulated for
their work in making it so, the Mes
Sis. Albright and Fish should have the
lions share of the credit and have
no doubt been given it. 1t was the
l. Us intention to print the list of
those who got the premiums, but a
lack of space forbids.

No Sore Spots In Casey
Democrats Are Loyal Down There
And Are Strong For Ticket.
Middleburg, Aug. Is, 1916

The late primary was the quietest
affair of the kind ever held here.
Everybody was in a good humor and
not a loud word was heard during
the whole day. The vote was the
lightest ever known since this was
a voting place, only 1873 votes being
cast. Montgomery received 81, Helm
got SO, Neat 16 and Dawson 20.
There was mighty poor picking for
the floaters hence he was conspicuous
by his absence. The result in the
contest for the Democratic nomi-
nation was so decisive that we hear
no kick whatever. There are but
few renegades among Casey Demo-
Gratis and Harve will get the full
strength of the party in November.
Republicans seemed to take less inter-
est in the primary than Democrats,
knowing that there was absolutely
no show for either of their candi-
dates in the final contest, in fact
none of them seem to regard the
candidates of the the two aspirants
more as joke than reality. They
have gained some notoriety however,
which perhaps was the object after
ALL
Jim Coulter went to Liberty last
Wednesday to assist in canvassing
the primary returns Jim was warm
supporter of Charlie Montgomery in
the race but will put in some good
ticks for Harvey Helm during the
next two and half months. He is not
of the boiling variety of Democrats
and his work for the party is always
influential.
Judge Lincoln Walls is now the
owner of a new Ford auto and was
on the road Thursday trying to catch
on to some of its tricks. He and j.
W. Higgins are the latest to join
the gang of autoist. There are others
talking of purchasing machines in
the near future.
Miss Elsie Haney is at Brodhead,
the guest of Mrs. Mary Albright.
The South Kentucky Association
will meet here Tuesday morning,
August 18th when the town will be
turned over to the Baptists to use
as they wish. There will be visitors
from all points of the compass and a
number of able preachers are ex-
pected Should Pastor Beagle be alb
sent, Rev. K. G. Martin will be here
to welcome the visitors.

Latest War News

An important advance on the SOM
