NEW SHERIFF TICKET

Mr.. Richard Prewitt Winn, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John G. Vim, is
letting it be known to his friends
that at the proper time he will be
a candidate for the Democratic
for Sheriff, and has
chosen Mr.. james 7. Barnes, pres
ent Assessor, as his Deputy. Both
these gentlemen have a wide rela-
tionship and acquaintance in the
county and will prosecute a vigOr-
Gus canvass for the nomination.
Mr. VIM. Cravens, present Dep
uty Sheriff, will also be a candi-
date, but has not yet chosen his
deputies, while former Sheriff w.
f. Crooks, has indicated his inten-
ton to again seek the Office, with
Deputy Sheriff r. M. Montjoy and
former Deputy Sheriff J. M. Me-
Cormick, as his deputies. The race
for this nomination gives promise
of being the most hotly contested
and interesting one in the lot.

MERCHANTS
START CONTEST
Will Give Away Shetland Pony
Outfit to Some Popular Child
August 18th.

As can be seen on another page
of this paper several enterprising
business men of this city will on
August 10Th, give away to some
popular boy or girl complete
Shetland pony outfit consisting of
pony, cart and harness. Votes will
be given on cash purchases or on
accounts paid. The ballot boxes
will be fastened up and will not be
opened until the day the contest is
decided, so no one will know how
the contestants are running. No
employee or member of any of the
merchants family will be permitted
to enter the contest.
Contests under the above sys-
tenn have been conducted by the
Perry Pony Co., of Frankfort, Ind,
for several years and always with
entire satisfaction. If you have a
child you want to enter in the con-
test stop in any of the stores NAM
ed in the advertisement and regis
ter same and then have the child to
see that its name is placed on the
list of the other nine merchants.
This is a splendid opportunity for
some child to get a handsome turn
out FREE.

GEORGE SMITH WINS DERBY

Before crowd of about $4,000
persons, George Smith, the Sanford
colt, defeated field of nine start
ers, and thereby won the Kentucky
Derby at Louisville Saturday. The
purse was for $4,000 and the win
ner received close to 100000. Star
Hawk, the English-owned colt.
made his first start in this country
and finished a strong second, being
only half a length behind the win
ner and gaining at every jump.
Under a better ride it is thought
Star Hawk would have been re-
turned the winner, as he was ham
died very poorly. Jockey Lotus
rode the winner and used splendid
judgment throughout the race.
Franklin, the Blue Grass favorite.
finished third, being several lengths
behind the winner. Dominant and
Thunderer, the Whitney entry, ard
favorites in the betting, led in the
early stages of the race but were
unable to stand the distance. The
race was attended by quite a few
local sports, number of whom had
tickets on the winner, which paid
5000 to $500. On account of the
which were sent down by local men
were not "put on" as it was almost
impossible to gJ5 to The betting
booths.

MT. STERLING WINS

The Lexington Reserves lost one
of the most holly contested baseball
games ever played in this city
Sunday afternoon, when the Mt.
Sterling team won an eleven inning
contest by score of 3 to / at
Riddelps park. The game was won
in the eleventh inning after two
men were out when Kelly, for the
locals, drove a two base hit to left
center field. The game was y
pitchers battle between Valland-
ingham, for the locals, and Stuart,
for Lexington. A large crowd wit

FORGED CHECKS

A young white man giving his
name as C. c. Stuart, Tom Smith
and others of this county, forged
the name of Walker Ficklin, a prom
inent farmer, to a check for $11.50
on which he bought pair of shoes
from s. M. Newmeyer and received
the difference in cash. He also
cashed one at the store of John Nc
Cormick and one at the store of /.
Morris and skipped out after secur-
ing about $27 so in all. The checks
were pronounced forgeries, but the
man, who is about 26 years old, had
gotten away. Warrant was sworn
out for his arrest. Officers traced
the man to Winchester, where it was
said he had gone to Richmond, and
another report stated that he had
gone to Middletown, o. The author
titles at both places have been mott
fed, and it is thought the man may
be captured.

APRIL COURT
WELL ATTENDED
Nearly 1000 Cattle on the Market

Throughout the Day.

There were about 1000 cattle on
the market. The quality was fair
Iy good. Trade while slow was
steady and great many cattle
sold during the day. Very few cat
tie went over the scales and it was
very difficult to catch sales. A
good crowd at the pens. Prices
were very high. We noticed one
bunch that an offer of $3.50 was
refused, the owner taking $3.50
per head instead. We also noticed
that the traders got what they ask
ed for their cattle or they did not
sell. We give q few sales so eur
readers can see what the market
was:

Mike Wilson sold seven about
S00ib. COWS to Jno. M. Rose at $34.
These cows were common; Sam
Keeton sold twenty about 625ib.
steers to w. c. H. Wood, of Fay

Hall bought ten about 600ib. steers
at 5000 per head. Many other

about these prices. Anything with

RETURNS FOR CHILD

Mrs. Bette Owsley, the woman
who gave her baby to Mrs. Harry
Strother, came to this city last
week, went to the boarding house
where Mrs. Strother was staying
and demanded that the child be re-
turned to her. Upon Mrs. Stroth-
er's refusal she took the baby by
main force and returned with it to
Clay City. As the child had not
been legally adopted the woman
could not be restrained from taking
her own flesh and blood.

MT. STERLING HIGH LOSES

In fast game of ball the local
High School boys lost their second
game of the season to the Win
chester High School team on the
latter's grounds Friday afternoon
by the score of 3 to !. The game
was a brilliant one and the inabil-
ity Of the locals to hit the Winches-
ter pitcher was the chief cause Of
their defeat. Coleman was on the
mound for Mt. Sterling and allowed
only five hits, while the best his
sream- mates could do was to secure
two hits off the opposing pitcher.

WILLIAM e. FAULKNER
DIES IN MISSOURI

/
Hearts were bitterly saddened
when telegram was received here
one day last week from Kansas
City telling Of the death of William
Ebert Faulkner, son of L. c.
Faulkner, of Platte county, Mo.
He was born three miles north of
Mt. Sterling 81 years ago, and
went to Missouri when his fathers
family moved there in 1905. He
will be remembered here by many
of the Montgomery county people
as bright, interesting boy. He is
survived by his father, a devoted
step mother, two sisters, Mrs. n.
B. Hoskins, of this county, and
Mrs. Bennett F. Hughes. of Bards-
town, Ky. Four brothers and one
half brother, Ellis n, of Pao,2,
Kansas; Clay, Of Crawford, Colo.
Newton, Troy and Vernon, of
Platte City, Mo.
William Ebert Faulkner was
loved by all who knew him. AT
the early age of 10 he confessed
his Savior before men, enlisting
with the Christian church and has
always been one of the leading ac-
tive workers in Sunday School and
church work. AT the age of Is, in
the very prime of his boyhood, he
was, stricken with typhoid fever
which left him a cripple and an in
valid for life. In the spring time
of life when all the rest were gay
and free he bore his cross with
manly fortitude and sweet re-
signation that partook of the di-
WIG. III thc Iihc years VI Ms Ian
ing health he often spoke of com
ing to Kentucky to visit the friends
of his childhood when he grew
stronger, but that day never came
and now he has found place fan
better than Kentucky. As his ply
steal body weakened the spiritual
life grew stronger and sweeter ant
better, until one bright beautiful
morning the earthly temple could
not hold that strong, radiant sou
any longer, it broke from its de-
tanning letters and took its flight
into the realms where eye hath not
seen its wonderful beauty, the eal
hath not heard its sweet music.
The funeral services were held il
the church where he had lived q
pure Christian life as an open book
u beautiful example for many.
All, our dear one, loving hands
have laid away the pale form, with
many tears in a prairie grave, and
will watch over it through all the
years that follow. The blue violet
that you always loved will creep
up about you, the Missouri wild
rose will bloom each spring and
send forth its sweet perfume above
you, but when we think of you We
will lift our eyes to the blue sky
the shining white clouds that float
by up among the bright stars, and
to where the pale moonlight pene-
trates and softly whispers, "UI
there, somewhere" Thanks be to
God, we have a perfect assurance
that you have gone to dwell with
the Master you loved, and the little
mother who long ago nestled you
to her heart for few short years
and then went over into the Sweet
Bye and Bye to await your com
ing.
"Oh death, where is thy sting
o grave, where is thy victory?"
