THE SOUTHWICK RECITAL

The Shakespeare lovers of STAN
ford enjoyed an unusual privilege
,aturday afternoon at the opera house
when the opportunity was given them
to hear the Interpretation of Julius
Caesar" by Prof. Henry Lawrence
Southwick. Dr. Southwick, president
of Emerson College of Oratory, claS-
sic teacher, orator and artist is a bril-
liant and prominent figure on the ly-
ceum platform. He was introduced by
Miss Esther Whitley Burch, speaking
in behalf of the Dramatic Club. DR..
Southwick is a thorough Shakespeare
an scholar and a superb elocutionist.
He is a finished dramatic reader.
holding his audience spellbound and
reading his lines with such sympathy
and suggestiveness that his interpre-
tation lent new force and meaning
to the tragedy. Surely he was all that
Shakespeare could have wanted him
to be, taking his hearers out of them
selves and making them live and feel
with the characters as he presented
them He, behind each word, had an
attitude, a gesture, a quick contrac-
ton of the brOws- or curl of laugh
ing lips which made of his characters
men, whether Brutus, the noble An
thony or the humble cobbler Brutus
was revealed in his honest though
misguided efforts to create a great
republic; Anthony in his sincere grief
and fixed purpose to ruin the con-
spirators. The mob scenes were I'M
usually natural as those who have
witnessed such things can testify.

IA Degrees Below Zero
Coolest Weather In Several Years
Follows Heavy Snowfall

Monday night, or rather early Tues
day morning brought a record tenn
perature for the present, and several
other winters in Stanford. At 2 A. M.
Tuesday morning the mercury regis
tered IA degrees below zero. Miss
Lena Hampton, proprietor of the Lo-
gan avenue greenhouses, remained up
all of Monday night to see that the
heavy freeze did not kill her valuable
plants. She says that at A. M. the
mercury went to IA degrees below
zero, remained there for half an hour
and then slowly assembled. 1t hover
ed between 80 and 35 above most of
Tuesday. The heaviest snowfall of
several seasons, also covers the
ground at present, having set in Sun
day night. 1t followed close upon the
heels of light snowfall of a few
days before, which prepared the
ground well to hold the present COW
ering of white which is four or five
inches deep in some places.

Road Work Shut Down
On Weather Account And Woodlands
Move Their Equipment

Winter weather has compelled the
Wilmore Construction Company and
the Jessamine County Construction,
of which the Woodland brothers are
managers to close down their recon
struction work upon the Crab Orchard
and Danville turnpikes. They com
pleted 1913 miles of pike work since
the first named company moved its
plant into the county on May 10th
last, of which 10 miles of reconstruc-
ton work was done on the Stanford
and Crab Orchard pike and three
miles on the Stanford and Danville
pike, these two pixies constituting in
tegral parts of the famous Boone
Way. A total tonnage of 22,211 of
rock was placed upon both of the
roads, which gives an estimate of the
big job which these two companies
had on their hands. All of this was
done under the state aid plan, by
which the state pays half of the cost.
The total cost including ditching,
shaping and resurfacing amounted to
$33, 126.28, and the management
states that 95 per cent of this was
spent right here in Lincoln county
for material, etc. Mr.. R. G. Young,
the capable and popular business man.
ager for the two big concerns, hand
led a great part of it in buying from
local dealers supplies and material.
All who have been over the recon
structed pixies which these companies
have finished are loud in their praise
of the condition in which they have
been put, and those who have occas-
ion to drive over the Jessamine ccun-
ty roads, say they wish that such ex-
perienced road construction men as
these would be placed IN charge Of
the reconstruction work in that, their
home county. County Engineer Nc
kee Rife, and State Inspector Jack
Carson and State Supervisor Oben-
chain have watched carefully the
work done by these two construction
companies, and are well pleased
Whether these two companies shall
return to Lincoln in the spring 70
complete these two pixies, and take
up other work, is matter to be set
tied by the letting of further bids and
contracts later, it is understood. The
WOODLANDS, Mr.. Young and their ca.
Fable assistants made many friends
while in Lincoln, who will always
have a good word for thern and then
work.

WOODS LOSE THEIR CLOTHES

The home of Georgia Woods, col

Sunday, and all the effects of the
woman and her family went up in
smoke. At the same time, nearly all
of the washable clothes of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Wood and family, of this
city, were also destroyed. The color
ed woman was "washerwoman" for
MIR. Woods family and had taken
the dirty linens home with her to wash
and they went up in flames with her
own clothes, furniture, etc. The loss
fall quite heavily on all concerned.

DANGER SIGNAL.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a dan
ger signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it
than to stop a fire bell when it is
ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Manv
have used it with the most beneficial
results. 1t is especially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often
follows a bad cold or an attack of
the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, An
drews, Ind, writes: During the win
ter my husband takes cold easily and
coughs and coughs. Chamberlain
Remedy is the best medicine for
breaking up these attacks and you
cannot get him to take any other"
