1T is NOW p. M. PENNY

Mr.. George L. Penny has been
postmaster since Sept. Bird, but
neither he nor his predecessor, Mr.. II.
J. McRoberts, knew il. In fact the
latter gentleman thought he was the
"boss Of the Office" but Sunday
papers were received which made
him aware that he had only been a
helper since about the first Of the
month. The papers were delayed in
transit, hence the uncertainty as TO
Stanford's postmaster. As post
master, Mr.. Penny is filling the bill
splendidly and as retired Office
holder, Mr.. McRoberts will now en-
joy good, long rest-something that
he has needed for a long time. His
legion of friends are glad of his OPP
portunity to rest up and hope that
he will soon be wen and strong.
Stanford has been especially fortu.
nate in having efficient men to handle
the mails and we are confident that
the good town has never had two
more efficient ones in her postoffice
than the present and retiring postmas-
ter. 1t is pleasing to note that Miss
Emma Hays will remain with Post
master Penny, but the public will
learn with regret that Edwin We'll
burn, who has been such excellent
help will likely resign and go to col
lepe

WITH THE CHURCHES

Rev. w. o. Foster, son-in-law Of
Mr.. J. S. Hooker, will begin a. pro-
tracted meeting at the Christian
church at Hustonville next Sunday,
assisting the pastor, DR.. A. ii. Baugh.
The Baptist church has just closed
a very fine meeting. Large congre-
cations were present at every serv-
ice, and a splendid interest was man
ifest throughout. Rev. W. l.. Walk
er pastor of the Baptist church at
Danville, did the preaching. His SER
mons were practical and heart-search-
ing, and the people listened with un-
abated interest. He was unsparing in
his denunciation Of worldliness on
the part of protesting Christians, but
very tender in his appeals to the I'M
saved. The influence Of his person
atty and his ministry will long abide
in this community. The church has
been inspired and greatly strength
ened by his coming There were
tweny additions to the church. The
singing was led by Mr.. +. l.. VOL
slagel, of Asheville, N. c. He is a
master of song and of audiences, and
besides he is one of the finest per-
sonal workers that has ever been in
our midst His wonderful tact and
conservation added no little to the
success of the meetings. He sings
and prays and breaches equally well.
Come again brethren and Harrods-
burg will give you a royal welcome.

THOMPSON SELLING FARMS

Col Monroe Thompson, of Waynes-
burg, was a caller at the |. ]. office
Saturday. He was accompanied by
his friend, f. J. Surber, of Ludlow,
who had come over for a brief visit
to the people of his old his old home
at Waynesburg. Col. Thompson has
been making sales of real estate right
along, but declined to give out but
two of the transactions, the others
he promised to divulge later. He
sold Mack Estes the John Waddle
farm of 40 acres for $4,000 and to N.
B. Triplett he sold 140 acres on
Fishing Greek for $4,000. Col.
Thompson says the people of his
section are waiting rather impatient
ly for the pumping of oil to begin.
The pipe line has been laid from
Waynesburg to the oil field, SIS
miles, and when the pumps arrive
business will begin in earnest. As
stated before in these columns, Mr..
Thompson believes that the Waynes-
burg field is going to prove a pay
ing one and that he expects big
things from it during the coming
year.

HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE

Hail and wind did a great deal of
damage in and around Crab Orchard
during the thunder storm yesterday
evening. Hail as big as hens eggs
fell, breaking window glass, stripping
the blades off of fields of corn and
playing havoc with tobacco. Many
farmers had their crops of the latter
ruined. George d. Boone's 80 acres
of corn was badly used up and ten
acres of buckwheat, just ready to
cut, was ruined. All of the lights
on the South side of the Baptist
church were broken out, SO lights in
the home of George d. Boone were
shattered, many in the mill were
broken, while the big, new silo
Messer, Bright and Paxton had Just
built was blown over. Fortunately it
contained no feed. John Green
Fletcher had 10 shoats killed by the
hail stones, and trees of various
kinds were uprooted by the severe
wind, which did much other damage.
The storm was a costly one for the
East End, but fortunately most of
the tobacco losers had hail insur-
ance
