BAD SHOOTING IN GARRARD

In Garrard county, close TO the
Lincoln line on Monday morning,
John L. Hopkins shot and probably
fatally wounded Jesse Brock. The
weapon used was 3S Winchester
and while Hopkins admits that he FIR
ed several times, only one shot struck
Brock. The wound is in the lower
law, which is almost torn away. "A
number of teeth are knocked out and
Brooks tongue is badly cut. The
trouble, according to Hopkins, who
is in Jail here. having been arrested
at Rowland last night by Sheriff
Weatherford, Deputy w. S. Drye,
Chief of Police B. ID. Carter and Jail
er DeBorde at the home of Andy
Lamb, arose over Brooks attempt
ing to cheat" his, Hopkins mother
out of $50 in hog trade. Hopkins
saws that he asserted that he would
get out necessary papers and get the
hogs back; that Brock took exception
to his remarks and on the day. be.
fore the shooting attempted to beat
him up. Monday morning Hopkin:
and his brother, Harvey Hopkins
were walking along the road in the
Fall Lick section. when they saw
Brock coming with shot gun IN mana
Having heard that Brock said he wa:
going to kill him, John l.. Hopkins
opened fire with the result above
mentioned. Brock is in DR.. Edmiston''
sanitarium at Crab Orchard and a
the hour of going to press was doint
as well as could be expected. At thu
jail this morning Hopkins talked
freely and seemed to have no regret
over what he had done. Asked if III
had secured the services of a lawyer
he said he had not, but would do s,
in abundant time. The trial. whicl
will occur at Lancaster, will yer.
likely depend on the condition o
Brock. Hopkins spent a good portion
of Monday in Stanford, but as no on
here knew of the shooting, no arres
was made. He was in Jail. however
within two hours after the new
came telling what he had done. Hop

part in the shooting. He is only II
years old, is a son of j. l.. M. Hopkin

CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati Man Tells How To Shrivel
Up Corns Or Callus So They
Lift Off With Fingers

Ouch I? This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town
if people troubled with corns will
follow the simple advice of this Gin
cinnati authority. who claims that a
few drops of drug called freezone
when applied to a tender, aching
corn or hardened callus stops sore
ness at once, and soon the corn or
callus dries up and lifts right off
without pain.
He says ffeezone dries Immediate
ly and never irflames or irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively re-
move every hard or soft corn or cal
lus from ones feet. Millions of Amer
lean women will welcome this an
nouncement since the Inauguration
of the high heels. If your druggist
doesn't have freezone tell him to or
der small bottle for you. 39-1

TO VOTERS OF HUSTONVILLE
MACISTERIAL DISTRICT

Mr.. J. Wesley Hughes, who has an
nounced for the office, and Squire j..
X. Helm, who l am told will an
nounce right away, he having told
certain parties at court Monday that
he would run again. Why the gentle
men have seen fit to thus treat me, |
cannot say. l also am Informed that
the report is current that ! am MAX
ing the race for magistrate in order
that / may vote for my son, l.. Bow
man Owens, for road engineer. There
never was greater mistake. l am
against the.goffice Of road. engineer,
n not Mr. J. L. Mckee Rife, who fills
the office, but the office. | believe
that it would be far better to put
the pixies in the hands of the magis-
trates and let them place from three
to five miles of said pixies in charge
of good. reliable farmers, whose
property fronts the pike. They could
look after that amount of pike with
very little trouble and would pride
in making it just as good as possible.
The Milledgeville pike of which
William Moser and A. w. Carpenter
have certain portions to look after
and keep in repair, is the best pike in
the county. A good illustration. l be-
lieve in paying reasonable prices for
work on county roads and will, If
elected, vote for doing so. l think
we have spent too much money Tor
machinery and believe that it would
be better to sell off a lot and buy
more rock and other material for the
roads. Certain machinery is a neces-
sity, but in my opinion we could very
we'll do without several thousand
dollars worth of the kind we have on
hand Asking your support and as
surfing you that in the event | am
nominated and elected ! will do all
in my power to make better roads

THE CHAUTUAOUA MAY 27-31

IhlngS look mighty good ior Iie
Lincoln Chautauqua, which will
stretch its big tent in Stanford on
Nav 81 and entertain in it twice
daily until the 31st. Tickets are going
nicely, and since it has been explain
ed that only season tickets count, or
in other words. the Woman's Club
only gets credit for season tickets,
people are buying them more readily.
The only trouble is, few of those
who signed pledges for tickets are
declining to take them, giving vari-
Gus excuses. They do not realize that
the Woman's Club is responsible for
e.se pledges given and that the Club
will have to make good for the tick
cts if those who signed for them do
not take them. Certainly there are
none in this section who would thus
treat the good women who are try
ing to do so much for the betterment
of Stanford. An explanation is all
that is necessary, we are sure.

MR.. J. K. HELM ANNOUNCES

Mr.. j. X. Helm, present magistrate
from the Hustonville district, an
nounces this issue his candidacy for
denomination and election. He asks
the voters to support him on the rec
ord he and the other members of the
fiscal court have made since he has
been in office. He sanctions the ac-
ton of the fiscal court in getting
modern, labor-saving machinery with
which to work the roads, and heartily
favored the buying of the new truck
which he believes will save the coun-
ty many a dollar He saw the truck
work two years ago and knows what
can be done with it. 1t then sold for
5000. The price paid by this cOun-
ty was $1,000 less. Mr.. Helm realizes
that not as much has been done on
the pixies as was desired, but plans
were made, expecting the bond issue
to be voted, and when it failed to
carry, no little of the work intended
had to be cut out. He thinks the road
overseer the most feasible plan and
saws that Mr.. Rife has done quite as
good service as should have been eX-
pected under existing conditions. He
is willing and DESTROYS of paying
men and teams inst as much for their
services as the county can afford.
Squire Helm says that while his
views differ from those of his oppon-
ents, he proposes to vote for one of
them and that he hopes they will be
just as clever as he. Said he: 81 shall
make no scramble for the Office, but
would like very much to fill it again
if the people of my end of the coun-
ty want me. In the event | am nomi-
mated and elected l promise the best
there is in me-"

COUNTY COURT DAY

A big crowd attended court here
Monday and business in all lines was
good. There were between 500 and
600 cattle on the market and they
sold high. Sure enough war prices
were realized, some selling close to
the dozen mark. There was demand
for good mules and what were in
town sold. Prices ranged from $3.50
to $3.50. Quite a number of horses
changed hands at $125 to 5000. 1t
was the consensus of opinion that
Monday was the best May court
Stanford has had in long time.
The three Senatorial candidates
were in Stanford Monday and work
ed like Trojans. Messrs. Mount and
Kaufman arrived early in the day
and few hours later Mr.. Harlan
dropped in. All were prepared to
present their claims in talks at the
courthouse, but the courtroom is
all torn up by the carpenters and
others, so they decided to postpone
the oral argument until next court
day. The crowd was considerably
disappointed, as the voters are all
anxious to hear the gentlemen tell
their positions on the various ques.
tons which are of vital interest to
them.
Roy Arnold, who sells many bug.
gies in this county, was on hand with
sample or so of his best make. As
usual, he took home several orders.
The candidates for county office:
were as busy as bees. Mr.. j. 7
Blanks, of Hubble, who had the mis-
fortune to lose a hand in days gone
by, was in town, but left early in the
day, saying that he had only one
hand left and that he, had better take
that home before the candidates
shook it off.

SPEAKING POSTPONED

The circuit courtroom was al
torn up with the improvements being
made since the fire, so the Senatorial
candidates could not speak there
Monday and it was agreed among
them that the speaking be deferred
until June court day. There was
some disappointment at the an
nouncement, as quite a number OF
the Lincoln county voters are anx
ious to hear the gentlemen express
themselves on the important ques
tions of the day.
