Road Work at a Standstill.

Work on the Lulbegrud road
remains at a srandstill. Ten new
wheel scrapers are ready for op.
erations soon as the company
holding the contract can get back
on the job. 1t is expected that
when work is resumed the COM
pletion of the road will be hur.
ried through. Our people are
looking anxiously forward to the
day when we can get move
ment started to get rid Of creek
roads, as will be the case in this
instance where the road to Lul.
begrud is now located in Brush
creek. The new location of the
road is altogether on the left of
creek going up the stream after
it makes the crossing at the Mas.

The Boys Notified.

All the boys called in the draft
have been notified, and all of
those who claim exemption are
getting busy fixing up their ex.
cuses, as bat few days are allow
ed for this purpose. The exper-
ience of other places are that 80
per cent. claim exemption and
25 per cent are physically incom.
petent. 1t thus seems certain
that in Powell it will take a great
deal more of the boys to select
the required AZ than double the
number, and it is quite proba BILE
that all qualified of the first 200
will be necessary TO make the
county's quota. The latest in
formation is that ten per cent.
more will be required to make
up for losses from the first draft
by exemption that may be sus-
tanned by appeals to higher
boards.

Women May Vote.

While but little is being said
about women voting in the coun
ty superintendent races, they
have the right to do so just the
same. 1t is not likely that they
will exercise their right of suf.
frage at this time, however, as
this race, while very important
one, is not being so hotly con.
tested as four years ago when
many of our good women voted
in the School superintendent
race.

A NEW THEORY.

Since the above~was set IN type,
one very much interested in the
new route has suggested to US
that the proposed route te let 60
through, and that the line be eX.
tended on to Clay City as 1t now
does. This would mean that the
mail leave here in the morn
ing for Spout Spring, kimbrell
and Hargett, as ii now leaves for
the two first named offices only
This carrier at Hargett would get
mail from Irvine and other points
east on the II O'Clock train, and
get the Louisville, Cincinnati.
Lexington, etc. mail on the II 40
train going east. This carrier
could easily arrive at Clay City
at 4 O'Clock in the afternoon with
the same mail that now reaches
here at 6 AZ, when the train hap
pens to- be on time.
This route established would
give Clay City the same mail
facilities it formerly had and IS
undoubtedly just what we need,
and just what we can get, as it
requires only the extension of the
present star route from Kimbrell
to Hargett, which is not more
than two miles, and which will
incur but little more expense to
supply the Clay City posloflice
with the same mail it is now get.
ting three hours later, and makes
its daily getting doubly more
certain.
Here is another job for our
hustling Commercial Club which
usually lands everything it goes
after. Every patron of the office
is to benefited, consequently all
should help.

NO. ~.


As this is the last week before
the primary, candidates have
been extremely busy seeing the
voters. All of the candidates are
a very clever bunch, in fact no
better lot OF fellows can be found
No one can conjecture who will
be nominated, as matters have
become considerably mixed on
account of so many candidates
in the field. AT any rate, Satur-
day will decide the mater, and
here's hoping that the best men
will win the nominations.

We Hope It's False.

Reports have come to our e4s
that some of the candidates are
using liquor in this campaign.
We do hope this is false report
as we would sincerely regret to
see men nominated that are that
far backward. Let us play fair,
fellows, and do the square thing.
The man who plays fair in the
campaign will be more apt to do
the same if elected.

Weed Cutting. Season

Now that the weed and briar

to use the most effective method
of killing the pollution we cut.
DR.. Albert Easter is authority

to cut out the bloom o:lv, leav.

We learn that the post offices
of Spout Spring and Kimbrell,
which are now supplied with mail
from Clay City, will soon get
mail from Hargett, on the w. &
l., and the route from here to
Kimbrell dismissed. This change
will work a great inconvenience
on the patrons of this office re-
siding along the route from here
to Spout Spring who now receive
their mail in boxes. They now
have every convenience of rural
delivery at no extra expense to
the Government.
Very recently number OF
new mail boxes have been put
up at expense to the patrons.
Now no less than fifteen families
receiving mail this way between
Clay City and Spout Spring.
The writer has recently gone
over the route from here to Har
gett and failed to see a single
box on the route from Spont
Spring to Kimbrell and it is not
likely that the box system of mail
delivery will be used if the route
should be changed. 1t is sincere
ly hoped that no change wilNln-
ally be made. If a change must
be made, let the route be con.
tinued from Spout Spring to
Clay City, and a new route es'
tablished from Hargett to Kim
brell.

The operators had proposed an in

Representatives of the railroad con.
