Inferior Court Has Jurisdiction,

According to an opinion of Attor-
ney General Logan given this week
to Hardin county officials local courts
were mistaken in ruling that inferior
courts did not have final Jurisdiction
in bootlegging cases since the Lee law
became operative making the second
conviction felony. Mr.. Logan rules
squarely that the jurisdiction of in
ferior courts is not altered except up
on trial for the second offense, and
in the latter instance it can only hold
an examining trial. Upon the first
trial, says Mr.. Logan, either Quarter
ly or Police Courts have final jurisdic-

Meet Your Friends.

If you want to meet friends that
you have not seen for years, talk over
happy events that occurred in the
long ago, visit the Fair, and take a
stroll over the grounds, and also walk
down the grandstand. You will be
sure to meet old associates, school,
mates, with whom you played num-
BILE peg, and many ladies who were
pretty laSSeS in their school days, and
with whom you played tag and swung
in the old grapevine swing, near the
spring, some twenty, thirty, and per-
hapS forty years ago. Happy days
they were, and as you will recall them,
you will see the bellies and bedux of
this day gaily mingling in the throng,
and be reminded that when the old
depart the young follow, and that
the happiness that came to you in the
long ago is now being enjoyed by your
sons and daughters, and those of your
neighbors. You can not be young
again, but you will be able to rejoice
over the pleasure that the young is
enjoying, and say in your heart l am
glad that am spending this week at
the Fair.

Accidentally Killed in Virginia.

Mr.. r. B. Reeves, who lives near
Ozark, this county, received a tele-
gram last Friday forenoon, from Nor

a young man about twenty-one years
old, was killed that morning by a log
train. His body arrived here Satur-
day for Interment.
There were no particulars. The
young man, who was very Industrious
had been working in Virginia for
some time.
His death was a terrible stroke to
his parents, and everybody is in SYM
pathy with the stricken family.
The burial was near Ozark many
friends attending.

Long Time on the Road.

Mr.. D. T. Curd, of Cave City, and
Mr.. John Q. Alexander, of Campbells-
vile, both gentlemen of the highest
character, have been travelling sales
men out of Louisville, the former for
twenty-eight years, the latter, thirty.
They both represent dry goods houses,
Mr.. Curd, Robinson, Norton g. Co.,
Mr.. Alexander Carter Bros & Co.
No other travelling man, in the same
line of business, has been on the road
as long as these two gentlemen.
They have both been successful, each
one commanding a large trade
throughout this part of Kentucky. In
the many years they have been Upon
the road, Mr.. Curd has made one
change. He first accepted a position
from Bliss, Wilson & Co., Louisville,
with whom he remained nine years.
He was valuable man to the house,
but an inducement was offered him
from Robinson, Norton & Co., which
he accepted, and he has been witch
that firm for eighteen years.
Mr.. Alexander has never made a
change. He commenced with Carter
Bros & Co., and he has remained
with them Steadfastly to this day.
There is a reason for the success of
these two gentlemen. They do not
drum, SO to speak They visit their
trade and if their customer is ready
to buy they are ready to sell, but no
merchant is ever annoyed, by hearing
one of them say 81 have got the very
thing you need, in fact, you can not dc
without it, it is a seller, etc." They
know that business man knows his
needs, and that "blanny" loses more
than it makes. If either one of these
statesmen ever came to Columbia with
out selling goods we have no recollec-
tion of it. Mr.. Curd and Mr.. Alexan.
der are both popular socially, and are
very well fixed financially. They made
their money by being courteous to the
trade, watching their business closely,
letting the country merchants do the
same, having a most respectful regard
for every merchant who favors then
with orders.
While Mr.. Curd and Mr.. Alexander
have been competitors all these years
they are the best of friends, not a ja1
having occurred.
Mr.. Curd was here Thursday and in
conversation with him, he said he haG
no desire to change his business, as he
had not been sick day during the
twenty-eight years he had been on the
road
In our judgment, Mr.. Alexander
feels the same way, and will be selling
goods to the country trade as long a:
he is able to travel. "Here is to theil
good healths, their families gooG
healths, and may they live long and
continue to prosper. .- .-"

Mr.. A. G. Willis, who lives near the
