$1,000 is RAISED
FOR NEW CHURCH


Plans which have been under way
for sometime, by the congregation
of the Stanford Methodist church,
looking to the raising of a fund to
provide for new church building,
took definite shape at the service
last Sunday morning. At that time
subscription amounting to about ST.
900 were made by those present, and
since that time it is understood that
pledges are in sight which will in
crease the amount to close to S10,-
900 which is the goal desired
Plans are for handsome brick ed
ifice to take the place of the wooden
building which has served the local
congregation for something like so

Waynesburg Boy Killed
Ralph Ratliff In Fatal Shooting A.
fray In Pike County

Ralph Ratliff, who went from the
southern portion of Lincoln back to
his former home in Pike county sew
eral weeks ago, was killed in a pistol
duel in that county last week. Mr..
Ratliff has many friends and rela-
tives in the Waynesburg section, who
will regret to learn of the unfortun-
ate affair. A dispatch to the daily
papers had the following concerning
the shooting:
Whitesburg, KY, Feb. 1S.-One
man is dead and two others, one the
postmaster of HELLER, Pike county,
probably are fatally wounded as the
result of quarrel in a restaurant at
HELLER. Jay Branham, 81, is dead,
his body riddled by dozen bullets
from the posse he attempted to
fight. Patton BARLEY, postmaster at
HELLER and Ralph Ratliff are in a
hospital in jenkins, BARLEY with an
abdomen wound and Ratliff with a
serious body wound. The trouble
started over a trivial matter in a res
taurant and came to blows. Branham
then drew a revolver and fired. As
Ratliff fell to the floor he ran from
the place fourishing his revolver and
holding off those who attempted to
hold him. He was overtaken by a
posse about mile from town and
was ordered to surrender. A shot was
the answer and Postmaster BARLEY
fell wounded. The members of the
posse fired at the flash and Bran
hams body was found on the tracks,
a gun in his hand, riddled with bull
lets. Both the wounded men are ex-
pected to die.

Which have adopted prohibition, and
leave it to future legislation to fur
Their limit or abolish such allowances.
at can be easily understood that
the liquor interests believe that their
chances of defeating the prohibition
amendment in Kentucky, or in any
other State, would be greatly in
creased if the amendment is made as
severe and drastic as possible. There
is no reason for Congressional enact
ment on this subject at this time, be-
cause the opinion of the Supreme
Court unfolding the constitutionality
of the Webb-Kenyon act gives the
POWER to each State to regulate this
matter as it deems best.
another objection to this amend
ment is the fact that it's purpose was
to injure the chances of the passage
of the Jones amendment, to which it
was offered as an amendment.
"The Jones amendment proposed
to forbid the use of the United States
mails for the circulation of liquor
advertisements in those States whose
laws prohibited such advertisements
a most reasonable and righteous mea-
sure.
"The Reed amendment brought up
different subject, and should not
properly be attached to the Jones
amendment.
For these reasons, joined with
Senator Kenyon, Senator Jones and
other leaders of the prohibition cause
in the Senate in an effort to strike
out. The Reed amendment, and to
leave with the States, for the pres
ent at least, the power to deal with
that feature of the subject. Several
advocates of prohibition in the Sen
ate took a different view of it, and
supported it, and the amendment was
adopted in the Senate. 1t is by no
means certain, however, that it will
get through Congress. | think it will
be to the best interests of genuine
progressive prohibition if it does

Churches Will Unite
In Farewell Service to Rev. Walker
Sunday Evening-Will Return

Rev. d. M. Walker, pastor of the
Stanford Christian church for the
past 10 years, will preach his fare
well sermon there Sunday night. He
leaves March 1st, for Shelbyville
with his family, to take up his work
as minister to the congregation in
the capital of Shelby county, to
which he accepted a call few weeks
ago.
In view of the fact that this is Rev.
Walkers last service in Stanford,
the three other churches will not hold
services Sunday night, but will meet
at the Christian church and take
part in a farewell service to Rev.
Walker. Announcement is made of
this union service by the various pas
tors in the church news column. 1t
is expected that each of the other
three preachers of Stanford will have
something to say as a farewell mes
sage to their departing co-laborer.
Friends of Rev. Walker, will be
glad that he will return to Lincoln
county at various times to speak as
occasion presents itself. Friends of
temperance and statewide prohibit
ton here have already secured his
consent to return to Lincoln this
year to speak for these causes, and
he will undoubtedly be given cor
dial welcome and large audiences
whenever he does so.

May Pipe Gas Here
Big Well In South End Still Boom.
ing-Oil Interests Grows

| Oil interest is booming in the South
End of this county and in Pulaski
and Rockcastle. The Schiller gas well
is pumping out gas like the exhaust of
racing automobile and plans, are
/ being made to pipe gas to Stanford
and Somerset. Almost every foot of
land in the southern section of this
county has been grabbed with leases
by oil prospectors and everyone ex-
poets a big strike. Neighboring pa
pers are talking about the interest
in their communities as follows:
The Mt Vernon Signal said last
week: Oil men are getting thick
around this section. A Pennsylvania
party arrived yesterday and is out
now getting leases for company
that wants to do some drilling.
Pulaski Oil Prospects.
The Somerset Journal said of oil
prospects in Pulaski, last week:
Much has been written in the past
year about the possibilities of this
county as an oil producing territory
and the great development that was
expected to come, following the visit
of many oil men here. There has
hardly been a week during the past
six months that some oil man has
not been here seeking leases or try
ing to get some information of in
terest to take back to the east with
him.
1t can be stated now positively
that within ninety days actual de-
velopment will have begun. This
week a deal was closed by some Es-
till county people who have several
thousand acres of leases i'm the east
ern part of the county, with an east
ern concern to put down several
wells. 1t is expected drilling will
begin by April first.
There are several other deals
pending that are expected to be
closed within short time, which
will mean more development. In
fact, at this time, it is no trouble to
interest oil men in this section. In
the last. few weeks they have been
hunting up propositions, before that
it was hard to get hearing.
Mr.. Proctor, of Wayne county,
representing two eastern oil compa-
MES was in the city yesterday to ne
gotiate deal with local parties who
own several thousand acres of land
Mr.. Proctor says that his company
is willing to take shot at Pulaski
for he believes that there is oil here.
He says there will be great deal of
development in this section during
the spring and summer. He says oil
men seem to favor this section for
what might be termed wildcatting.
Drilling Near Brodhead, Too.
Drilling is to start at once i'm the
Brodhead section of Rockcastle. The
Brodhead correspondent to the Mt.
Vernon Signal said that The Brod-
head Oil Company, brand new or
ganization, met Wednesday night
for the purpose of deciding on a
place to drill their frs. well, and We
understand that it was decided to put
down well on the farm of j. A. Os-
borne about two miles west of Brod-
head. The Brodhead people are ex-
pecting to be wading in oil up to
their eyes in the next few weeks, and
even Uncle Ben Yadon is imagining
that he is closely related to John D..
and we hope to see many John DIS
before spring.

them at the time they were engaged
in search for man wanted in Casey,
