Farm Bell Used 100 Years

FOUND DEEP in SOIL
By Workmen Excavating For
The Davis ODE
lisk.

Workmen excavating for the founda-
ton of the jefferson Davis obelisk at
Fairview few days ago unearthed,
three feet from the surface, a small
size farm bell in a good state of pre-
servation. II is about the size of a
water bucket and contained clapper
and all. When cleaned up, it gave
forth clear ring and apparently is as
good as when new.
1t will be preserved as valuable
relic of 100 years ago. The father
of Jefferson Davis owned several
hundred acres of land, and this bell
was in all probability used as his farm
bell.
Contractor Gregg has it and will
show it to those interested. The con-
crete foundation is now being put in
and work on the obelisk is progress
ing nicely.

lows:
1--WE are surely going to have areal
fair this year, for Union county was
never so prosperous as now. Every
body has money and all are happy,
and they are not going to let the war
stop the fair or interfere with bust
ness or farming.
Corn planting is on in earnest and
the acreage is greater than ever be-
fore. Tobacco acreage will be con-
siderably reduced; gardens are big
ger and better than ever known, and
if fortune smiles on Union county and
sends good season there will be
enough foodstuff raised here to feed
a considerable portion of the world.
"There are several horses at the
lair grounds now in training and more
are coming all the time. Next to Hen
derson, Uniontown has the best fair
in Western Kentucky"
He ought to come to Christian coun-
ty and see few real crops growing
and then this fall he might come and
see a real fair, second only to the
State fair-the Pennyroyal Fair at
Hopkinsville.
