beautiful sunshine is making the
farmers look brighter and we think

much crop as they care for. A

good will, there's way, so why be
blue?
The good men of our community
have been spending a few days of
their spare time in working the
county roads, which was badly
needed

BOMB .PloTTtRs TRY
TO KILL PUBLIC men
Lay Plots TO Start a Reign OF
Terror Throughout
the Country.

Washington Radical agitators
tonight apparently attempted to in
augurate another reign Of terrorism
throughout the country through the
planting of Internal machines near
the residences of prominent men.
Within a few MINUTES after the
explosion of bomb at the door of
Attorney General Palmer's desi-
dence here, with the killing of one
man, evidently the person planting
the bomb, reports were received
from Boston, Cleveland, Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia, Paterson, N. j., New
York and Newtonville,. Mass.
In all cases except Paterson and
Philadelphia, the bomb attempts
were directed against. the lives of
public officials In Paterson the
home of a silk manufacturer was
wrecked, while in Philadelphia,
where two explosions occurred, at
tempts we're made to blow up q
Catholic church and a private resi-
dence.
The similarity of the reports
received from the various cities re-
called to authorities the May Day
bomb plot of month. ago.

CHILDRENS' NIGHT
(Horse Branch Specially

Horse Branch, Ky, June, 8:
Sunday night was Children's
night at the Union Church, and was
one of the best entertainments ev-
er given in Horse Branch. The
union Sunday-school, composed of
the Methodist, Baptist and Chris
tian churches, gave the entertain
ment. The house was crowded to
overlooking and not more than half
of the people could find seats. A
splendid program consisting of
drills. musical renderings and pan
tomomes was given, which was
highly appreciated by the audience.
The house was decorated with flow
ers and buntings. Old Glory play
ing prominent part, and the whole
occasion was one of the most de-
lightful affairs ever staged in Horse
Branch. The music was in charge
of Mrs. j. S. Bean.

BROTHERS DROWN

One of the saddest events that
has ever occurred in the county
took place near Horse Branch Sun
day when two brothers, Hubert and
Willard Geary, were drowned in
Caney Creek, while in swimming.
About o'clock the two boys, to-
gether with a small boy, went to
Caney Creek at point just above
White Run, with the intention OF
going in bathing. The small boy
did not go in, and 1t was he that
gave the word that the Geary boys
were drowned.
1t seems that the CHANNEL of the
creek at this place is very narrow
but deep, it being some seven feet
in depth at this place. The boys
misjudged the depth and the young
er boy plunged into the water
which was very cold and immediate
'ly took cramp. The older brother,
seeing him struggling, jumped at
ter him, but the boy was drowning
and struggled so fiercely to get to
the shore that both were drowned
The boy who was with them became
frightened and ran home. Their
lives could possibly have been saw
ed had he retained his self-com-
posture as some men were in a field
nearby when the accident occurred.
The boys remained at the bottom
of the creek for about two hours.
A search for the bodies, which last
ed over an hour, resulted in finding
them and they were taken to the
home of their mother, Mrs. Fannie
Geary, near White Run. They
were buried Monday in the same
coffin, at the request of their moth
er. Mrs. Geary is very low with
tuberculosis and the shock was so
severe she is not expected to re-
cover. Hubert was 21 years Of
age and Willard was IA.
