First Serious Trouble for Many Years
Occurs Causes Untold Suffering
Manager Tonkn Ruhes Men Repair Break at Eear
lest Possible Moment. Coal Men Receive Many Rush
Orders.

requests to disconnect the gas stoves
and put in coal CRATES, while many
evinced sudden desire to cook and
heat by electricity.
Miss Tonkin and Mr.. Hastings,
who were in charge of the Office
during Mr.. Tonkin's absence, were
kept busy answering questions as to
when the gas would be turned on
again, etc. One lady called at the
Office while the writer was trying to
ascertain when the gas would be
turned on, and in a very determined
voice demanded to know, '1s it u
fact that the natural gas has just
naturally given out?" That she had
been so advised and had come to
headquarters for the straight of
the matter. Mr.. Hastings very po-
litely informed her that the gas
company expected to continue to do
business, and she left perfectly
satisfied.
While people were greatly ineon
venienced and considerable suffer-
ing was caused, the company made
every effort to get the break re-
paired as soon as possible.

GOOD-HEARTED WOMAN

Mrs. c. w. Bush kindly prepared
coffee and a lunch for the operators
of the Cumberland Telephone ex-
change Monday morning as most of
them were forced to come to work
without breakfast owing to the
break in the line of the Central
Kentucky Natural Gas Company. 1t
was thoughtful and Christian act
and the girls are truly grateful for
her kindness.

HIGH WATER MARK

Slate creek was higher Monday
than ever before in its history. The
water ran over the big bridge at
Towards Mill which was construct
ed several years ago and placed
four feet higher than water had
ever been prior to its erection. Wa
ter was several feet high in the
pumping station and had fire
broken out while these conditions
existed the situation would have
been serious as only the water in
the standpipe would have been avail
able.

FARM SELLS WELL

Mr.. A. S. Johnson sold at public
auction Monday his farm of 1877
acres lying on the Maysville pike.
for $215.25 per acre. Mr.. J. T.
Highland was the purchaser. This
farm is one of the best ones in the
county. Mr.. w. Hoffman Wood, the
real estate man, had charge of the
sale. This is the highest price ever
paid for a farm as large as this one
in Montgomery county.

The main supply line of the Cen
trail Kentucky Natural Gas Com
pany was broken early Monday
morning and one whole section of
the ten-inch pipe washed away.
The break occurred on Slate creek
on the Chambers and Robinson farm.
Mr.. Tonkin was notified at three
O'Clock Monday morning and I'M
mediately began gathering force
of hands and materials and rushed
same to repair the break. The
break was caused by the high water
which is said to have been the high
est ever known on Slate creek.
Owing to this condition it was very
hard to repair the break but the
men worked heroically The break
cut off the supply Of gas from this
city, Winchester, Lexington, Paris,
North Middletown, Versailles, Mid
way and Frankfort. The break was
repaired about eleven o'clock Tues
day, but shortly after the pressure
had been turned on q break occur
red in the repaired portion, which
caused another delay, however at
80 the gas was again turned on.
Canned goods, for food, and
candles for lighting, brought many a
good dollar from some worthy citi-
zens who ordinarily would scorn
such articles. The butchers report
ed a heavy sale of easily cooked
meats, such as could be convenient
ly prepared on coal CRATE or in a
chafng dish, many using these rath-
er crude methods of preparing an
entire meal.
Oil stoves found ready sale
and dealers ran out of their supply
early in the day. Plumbers and
gas filters were overwhelmed with

GOOD DEED

Manager Warren Hatton had the
telephone operators call up all his
subscribers late Tuesday evening to
apprise them of the fact that the
natural gas had been turned on. AS
the gas had been off for two days
this enabled many to get their
stoves going as soon as the supply
had been given the city.

PLAN MEETINGS ID EXPLAIN WORKINGS
 OF FARM LOAN ACT
Farm Finance League Urges Gathering in Every Coun- !. ty Seat in Nation on
 Saturday, Jan. 27

A plan for a nationwide movement to enlighten the farmers of the United States on the provisions of the new fed- eral farm loan act has been started by the American Farm Finance league, head ed by Herbert Myrick of the Orange Judd company. MT. Myrick, it will be recalled, recently made an address in Birming- ham in favor of the Muscle Shoals propo- sition, which he is strongly advocating in his seven farm papers.
 Saturday, January 2, has been set as the time for meeting at every county seat in each state of the union.
 The editor of the oldest newspaper at the county seat. or some other leading citizen, is urged to invited a few leading citizens in the county-including the edi- tors and heads of local or county agri- cultural. business and labor organizations, also any any national farm loan associa- tions-to form themselves at once into a committee to arrange for hall. publicity and speakers. It Is desired to hold the meeting at 10 a. m. on the above day
 It is believed that this will be the first time in American history that all the people in all the counties have had a chance to come together at the same time to consider the same subject.
 Speakers of prominence are urged to lend their assistance to the nearest meet ing on this occasion and to give to the audience whatever knowledge they may have as to the workings of the new act.
 There are many advantages in this method, it is contended. It will present the subject clearly and logically, also briefly, so as to be easily understood.
 An excerpt from the communication oi the American Farm Finance league call ing these meetings throughout the coun- try, follows:
 AS the time for arranging. a meeting in each county is rather short, all infor- nation regarding the plans for the gath. erings can be had by addressing the American Farm Finance league. Spring field, Mass. Much of this literature car be read before such meetings and in teresting information on the subject oi farm loans secured.
 Alabama and the south need this chear money without delay, and it is hoped eact county will carry out the plan and will aid in spreading information. Any addi. tional information desired on the new farm loan act can be had by addressing the farm loan board. Washington. D. C.

 Successor to TOulmin

Washington, January 9.-(Special)-It is learned that the Attorney General will not be too nasty in naming the successor to the late Judge Toumin who sat on the bench in the south Alabama federal district.
 Mai R. T. Erwin of oMbile, in re- sponse to 8 telegram from the Attorney General, came to Washington Saturday. He saw the Attorney General and talked with him at length. He is regarded as one of the strong men in the fight.
 However, the end is not yet. It is learned that MT. Gregory will send for w. B. Inge of Mobile and Chief Justice John c. Anderson. He has not yet seen either of these applicants, though both previously were in Washington in their cause.
 Alabamaians have recently represented to the Attorney General that insinuations that Judge Anderson is not bonafde resident of the Third district are un- founded.
