New Hemp Machine
To Be Exhibited In Town Here By
Inventors Next Court Day

Wonderful reports come in of the
splendid work which the hemp break
ing machine invented by the Holtz-
claw Bros, of this county, is doing.
The machine is said to be standing
all tests in every way. 1t is breaking
about the maxium quantity of hemp
that could be desired That it is far
ahead of every other machine which
his So faio boen constructed for this
purpose, is declared by all who have
seen it in operation. So great has
been the desire of hemp growers to
know something of it and its posi-
bilities, that the Messrs. Holtzclaw,
have decided to bring it to town next
Court Day, if the weather is at all
propitious, and exhibit it at work in
some prominent place in town, where
all who desire may see it at work.
They have issued the following card
to their friends in regard to their
machine:

Burned To Death
Aged Mother of Mrs. J. J. Dickey
Meets Fearful Fate

Her many friends here were griev-
ed to learn of the fearful and fatal
accident which befell the aged moth
err of Mrs. j. j. Dickey, who made
Stanford her home during her hus-
bands pastorate of the Methodist
church here. The accident happened
at Flemingsburg, and dispatch from
there told of the horrible affair as
follows: Mrs. Mary Fleming was pre-
pairing breakfast when she heard a
moan from another room. Dropping
her pans she hurried into the room
and found her aged mother, Mrs.
Nancy Phillips, lying at the bed room
door, fatally burned. She died twelve
hours later. Mrs. Phillips was 65
years old. In her efforts to tear the
garments from her mothers body,
Mrs. Fleming's hands were badly.
burned and her haE and ,Pvebsovfs
'sihged. Picking up her mother, who
was still conscious she carried her to
her bed and secured aid. Mrs. Phillips
had arisen only short time before
and was standing in front of the
CRATE when her nightgown became
ignited. Mrs. j. J. Dickey, of Hutch
inson, another daughter, was notifi-
ed and came to her mothers bedside
but not until after Mrs. Phillips had
lost consciousness.

Frank Rout's Close Call
Power Plant Superintendent Came
Near Being Electroeuted

Superintendent B. Frank Rout, of
the Stanford Water, Light & Ice
Company, narrowly escaped death by
electrocution last week. A current of
500 volts of electricity shot through
his body, as it was, badly burned his
left hand, and scorched his chest
and side. A
1t was during the period of the
very heavy rains last week, and the
floor of the engine room in which he
was busy was very wet. The current
had been turned on in the afternoon
for city lights. Mr.. Rout noticed that
one of the brushes on the dynamo
needed adjusting, so without turning
off the current, which would have
switched out the lights in town, he
reached over with his left hand to
push the brush up. Instantly he was
Knocked flat, as if mule had kicked
him, and felt as he had been struck
by lightning. The wet floor, upon
which he was standing had proven
too good conductor, the circuit was
completed, and he says that undoubt-
eddy if he had taken hold of the
brush with both hands, he would have
been isntantly killed. AS it was he
was given a fearful shock, which
would have proven fatal for man
with any heart affection. He was
made deathly sick and unable to get
out for some time. His left hand is
still bandaged, but his many friends
are congratulating him that it was
no worse. Mr.. Rout says that about
l 800 volts will kill an ordinary man,
so it will be seen that he had very
close call

BAD HABITS

Those who breakfast at eight o.
clock or later, lunch at twelve and
have dinner at six are almost certain
to be troubled with Indigestion. They
do not allow time for one meal to di-
gest before taking another. Not less
than five hours should elapse be-
tween meals. If you are troubled
with indigestion correct your habits
and take Chamberlain's Tablets, and
you may reasonably hope for quick
recovery. These tablets strengthen
the stomach and enable it to per
form it's functions naturally. OBJ

Do some foods you eat hit back

positive and puts your stomach in a
healthy condition so the misery won't
come back.
You feel different as soon as
"Pape's Diapepsin" comes in contact

gases, no belching, no eructations of
undigested food, your head clears and
you feel fine.
Go now, make the best investment

from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless it is to
suffer from Indigestion, dyspepsia or
any stomch disorder. 81

MERCER REJECTS STATE AID

Mercer county has declined to ac-
cept State aid in the working of her
turnpikes this year. David Terhune,
member of the Mercer Fiscal Court
says the State road department re-
quires such heavy expenditure on
each mile that the county funds are
entirely inadequate to work enough
road to amount to anything. Under
the State aid system the upkeep OF
the turnpikes costs $4,000 a mile,
while if done under the direction Of
the engineer of the fiscal court it
costs only $500 mile.

WORST SNOW
STORM IN YEARS
1.-The Beautiful Covers This Part OF
Kentucky at Present To a Depth
OF a Foot And More

What old-timers say, is the worst
snow storm known in this section of
Kentucky in a quarter of century
and more, now has this community in
its grasp. Reports from other sec
tons of the state are to the effect
that most of the state is covered with
snow from foot deep up to two feet
and more on the level, while you can
find drifts as deep as you want 'em.
All traffic has been suspended, ex-
cept on horseback or with sleighs and
sleds. The usually omnipresent Ford
autoes have been put out of business
in this section for the first time since
they made their appearance some 10
OF 10 years ago. And when a Ford
can't get over the roads, every one
knows just how bad the going is.
Three out of the five rural mail
route carriers who leave Stanford
each week day morning were turned
Rack on their routes Monday morn
ing. The bulk of snow fell Saturday,
Saturday night and again Sunday
night. Judge w. L. Dawson, who
travels Rural Route No. 2, didn't get
very far on his route Monday, till he
struck impossible drifts which made
it impossible for him to get to the
mail boxes along the roadside. Arthur
C. Hill, on Route No. 3, did very well
considering conditions, until he hit
the steep Mason's Gap hill, which his
horse simply could not pull in the
heavy going. Mr.. Hill went on his
route around the other way Tues
day morning to get as far as he
could. j. B. Sartin, on Route No. A
found the going impossible in Gosh
en- creek, and had to return early.
Several of the carriers essayed their
trips this morning using two horses
to their buggies. Reports from Lam
caster are to the effect that a num-
her of carriers out of that office had
to discontinue their routes and the
auto mail route to Danville was also
put out OF COMMISSION.
So difficult is travel that attend
ance at the Stanford Graded and
High school was so slight, it was de-
cded to dismiss classes for a week.
Pupils from the country were unable
to get to town except in few cases.
Thermometers registered close to
Zero Saturday and Sunday night.
Monday night about 10 degrees above
was the lowest, but today the mer-
curry has hung around 20 above near
Iy all day. The latest forecasts are
for continued cold for the next few
d2ys Farmers are forced to use up
an immense amount of feed for live
stock this sort of weather, and sheep
breeders are zealously keeping the
lambing ewes in the barns. Wheat
growers are predicting record crop
if the swon stays on a while. All are
hoping for a gradual thaw when 1t
does come, else all creeks and rivers
will be flooded to record point should
the great amount of snow which now
covers the earth, be suddenly melted.
Trains on the l.. & n. and Q. & G.
ran very irregularly Monday, but bet
ter time was made Tuesday after the
tracks had once been cleared. The
morning trains from Louisville Mon
day, due here shortly after 10, did
not get in till after / o'clock that
afternoon.

Notice To Hemp Raisers

AS we have a number of inquiries
relative to our hemp machine from
Various sections Of the country, will
say that on next February court day
in Stanford we will demonstrate our
hemp breaking machine, at which
time we will show to you that we
have "a machine that will handle the
hemp straighter than the best of
hemp breakers, produce about 10
per cent. more weight than hand
breakers, makes no tow, and will
handle hemp one-half rotted, well
rotted or with too much rot far su-
perior to the hand break.
The machine disposes of hemp as
fast as one man can put it to the ma
chine i'm medium punches.
This machine has not been manu-
featured for sale yet, but will pay
you to investigate for another year.
