DEATH OF PROMINENT MAN

Mr.. z. Duke died at his home at
Dallas, Texas. 1t will be remember
ed that he spoke at the Baptist
church last fall and many were i'm
pressed with his simple, pleasing
message. Mr.. Duke was not a
preacher, but he was layman who
was greatly interested in church
work. In his talk at the First Bap-
fist church here he stated that he
had started life very poor ban, but
by hook or crook he got enough
money to open small store. He took
the Lord in as a partner, he said, and
all during his business career he gave
a good portion of the profits to
churches and other good causes. At
the time of his death he had chain
of stores, some 25 or more, and gave
the profits of all of those establish
ments to church work. Thomas ID.
Newland, Jr., son of our townsman,
conducts one of the stores and bears
testimony to the good work Mr..
Duke has been doing during the
years he has known him. Mr.. Duke
was very warm friend of DR.. M. d.
Early, whose long acquaintance with
the good man makes him feel a per-
sonal loss in his death.

WALTER SELLS THE PRINCESS

Mr.. Wallace W. Walter, who has
made The Princess one of the most
popular eating and drinking estab-
lishments in this section OF. the State,
sold out lock, stock and barrel Mon
day to Messrs. Ernest Prewitt and
John and R. H. Renfro, of Harrods-
burg. The gentlemen run in their
home town what is known as the
"Blue Ribbon Restaurant and it is
very beautiful as well as popular
place. Mr.. John Renfro will be in
charge of the new purchase here and
that he will run The Princess as it
should be, none who know his repu-
tation as caterer will doubt. Mr..
Walter and Mrs. Walter have given
their personal attention to the con-
duct of their establishment and the
excellent manner in which it has been
managed has been the source of much
qualification to their many friends.
There is general regret at their sell
ing out, but there is consolation in
the thought that they are not to
leave the "best town on the map"

JOHNSON MAKES GOOD TALK

The address of Rev. Andrew john
son at the'open session of the Liber-
ty Service League Friday night was
replete with good things. His knowl-
edge of ancient history is remarkable
and he told of the events of the long
ago,-B. c. and A. D.,-with the ia
miliarity of conditions as though
they had only occurred a few years
ago. Rev. johnson has read a great
deal and retained it; he has travel
ed all over the country and it has
been of profit to him, hence it is not
strange that he is interesting in con-
versation as well as a lecturer. He
was introduced by DR.. w. D. We'll
burn, of the Methodist church, who
was very complimentary of him. Rev.
Johnson lived in this county for many
years and is a son of Gree Silver"
Johnson, who is remembered by many
of the Lincoln county people as be-
ing quite a politician.

FORMER EDUCATOR SUICIDES

Henry C. Anderson, of Somerset
whose term as superintendent of pub.
lie schools of Pulaski, expired JAN
LIST, suicided by shooting himself
through the temple Friday morning
He had just come out of the law Of
flee of Denton & Kennedy, in the
Waddle building, and without word
of warning to any one inflicted the
fatal wound. He lived less than an
hour and was never conscious. An
derson, who was only about %, was
married less than a year ago to a
Miss Isaacs, of his county, and she
is left to bear the odium of a hus-
bands suicide. The Somerset Com
monwealth says that many irregu-
larities have been found in the office
of the dead man and the indications
are that he was short in his accounts.
Experts are going over his books
and the further fact that the grand
jury is in session might have caused
Anderson to commit the rash act.

Twenty-eight more gallant Lincoln
county boys have been added to the
number that are being trained for
army service at Camp Zachary Tay-
lor, that number having left STAN
ford at 80 Monday afternoon as
hundreds of their friends and rela-
tives bade them God-speed in the
splendid work to which they have
dedicated their lives. It was intended
that Judge Charles A. Hardin, who
il holding court here, should make
the boys a talk at the depot, but the
special train pulled in earlier than
was expected and the young men and
their friends were denied the treat
that the I. j. knows Judge Hardin's
speech would have been. Previous to
their departure, the Red Cross Chap

mics" with a sweater and the d. A.

pins, thread, etc. They were all dined
at the st. Asaph Hotel and much at
tention was shown them from their
arrival in town until they took their

DR.. o'BANNoN AT BANQUET

DR.. w. B. O'Bannon, Lincoln
county's splendid representative at
Frankfort, spent Sunday with Mrs.
O'Bannon here. The doctor was one
of the Representatives who accepted
the invitation to the Washington Day
banquet at the Phoenix Hotel, Lex
ington, on the 22nd. He was called on
for a talk and gave his hearers a
good one from the theme, THE Ken
lucky Legislature and the Soldier
Boys in France" DR.. O'Bannon's re-
marks were we'll received and loudly
applauded. Asked about the work be-
ing done at Frankfort, he said to an
I. J. representative: "By Joe we are
getting along all right, but as strange
as it may seems the 'wets,' as the ad-
ministration people are called, are
trying their best to give the State
a bone dry bill, but the 'drys,' led by
DR.. Palmer and Representative Wag-
goner, of Scott, are trying to put
whisky in the drug stores and many
other places. 1t is strange condition
of affairs, to be sure, but We'll
straighten it out before we get
through, I hope" The doctor thinks
like great many others do that dry
leaders, those who get pay for their
services, are not DESTROYS of seeing
the State dry, because they know
that when it is really and truly dry
their jobs are gone.
