1t is a little difficult for me to
give you a bunch ofitems for the
News this week as l have been
absent from our Valley for four
or five days. l found everything
running smoothly upon my re-
turn.
Judge W. T. Hendrickson, of
Campbellsville, was here about a
week ago, endeavoring to perfect
an organization for a bank at
this place. The project, how
ever. fell through. It may be
that some of our substantial citi.
zens will take the matter up
some time in the future.
Tom Corbin sold his farm, near
Cane Valley. to Ollie Corbin, for
$1,000.
Mark Wilson is having his
residence remoddled. When
completed it will be one of the
attractive residences in Cane
Valley.
Mr.. T. A. Firquin, one of our
enterprising merchants, went to
Lebanon Junction last week and
purchased a restaurant for his
sons. They are now located in
that place, doing business. From
Lebanon Junction Mr.. Firquin
went to Louisville and other
points in the State.
There was some excitment

L. W. Dudgeon, who spent a
month at Pope Sanitorium, Louis

Walter Smith sold a house and
lot here, known as the Groves
property, to Tom Corbin for
$1,000. Corbin will remove to
the property.
A bank at this place would be
a great convience, and I belive
it would be paying proposition.
The bank that failed here, some
years ago, should not deter per-
sons from taking stock in new
concern. With the building al
ready up, only bank fixtures
would have to be purchased.
This would be an enterprise that
should require the attention of
our enterprising citizens.

erected cabin in Henderson
c lnty during the previous year,
aid that their wives were then
wing in the cabin, suspected
taat the Harpes would endeavor
t. go in that direction. At the
s re time, he dispatched the
courier to the Governor, with
a. Jrmation, that the Harpes
lad entered the state again, he
at one John Ellis to bear the
ne tidings to Gen. Samuel
Hopkins, who resided in the
Srestern portion Of the state and
not a great distance from the
cabin. in which the wives of the
Harpes were living. Ellis rode
p magnificent horse and trav-
eIed sixty to seventy miles per
day, and spread the information
IA regard to the Harpes, as he
went. 1t was we'll for him that
he travelled with such speed,
since the Harpes, as they jour-
Keyed on in the same direction,

preparing for home, to which
hesintended to remove his fam

place, the Harpes murdered him
and his son and hid their bodies
In The Is. The exact place of
murder of Graves and his son,
tradition says, was at the loca-
ton OF the old Marrowbone
Church. From this place,
they proceeded toward the
mouth of the Green river, where
their wives were located and in
doing so traversed the present
counties of Metcalfe, Barren,
Warren, Hopkins, Webster and
Henderson. There is no record

BIC RACES PLANNED | FOR ALABAMA FAIR Most Noted Drivers in the
 Game Will Appear in Auto Races

The automobile races to be held at the State Fair this year will excel any auto race meet ever held in the south, bring ing together some of the foremost gas chariot speedsters of the world, accord ing to Secretary J. l.. Dent of the Ala bama State Fair association, who waxed enthusiastic Tuesday night over the com ing fair which opens October and over the auto races which will be held over the circular mile track.
 "I have sent entry blanks to some Of the most notable figures of the speed ways and of the dirt tracks," said MT. Dent, "and have already received letters from two or three of my friends who rank with the most famous drivers of either continent, that they are coming to Birmingham to compete for the huge purses which are to be offered this year When the entries are all in and have been announced automobile race fans of the state will be surprised to see what a large list of speed wings we have gath cred for our race meet this fall" Although MT. Dent would disclose the names of none of the drivers who have signified their intention of coming te Birmingham to compete for the alluring purses, he stated that in due time the names would be given out
 We want to be sure of the men who are coming, and want to have it so that every man advertised will be here or the job with his speed wagon when the curtain goes up on the peer of all State Fairs of all time,'' continued the fail secretary.
 Throughout the winter Mir. Dent has devoted much of his time in improv. ing the race course, and it is now prob ably the best circular dirt track south of the Ohio.

Roanoke Beats LaGrange
 in a Hard Fought Game

Roanoke, September 9.-(Special)-In a hard played game between the Roanoke team and the LaGrange Unity Mill team Saturday afternoon the score finally showed 6 and in favor of Roanoke The LaGrange team used their veteran pitcher, Sam Nelsons in opening the game, Chippman receiving. Nelson was retired in the seventh inning, having surrendered just nine hits to the oppos- ing team. Webb took his place in the eighth inning and let them down on three hits.
 Roanokes pitcher, George Daniel, was
 in good form, and pitched the whole game with but three hits against him. Eddens caught for Roanoke, and this battery did excellent work.
 The Roanoke team is playing good ball these days, and the pitcher, George Dan
 el, is going so good that he is liable to break into "big stuff" some of these days. The Roanoke team desires to get games with any amateur teams in Ala bama or Georgia, and solicits communi- cations to this end. Address George Daniel, Roanoke, Ala. Score: R.H.E. LaGrange .......................... l Batteries: Daniel and Eddens; Nelson, Webb and Chapman.

First Basen1en Are Playing
 Great Games This Season
This is Year When Initial Seekers Are Playing Mighty Roles-Six Big Stars Are Batting Over 300 Mark. Sisler is Bright Light-Chase Has Per
 formed Come Back
By JAMES J. CORnETr

This is the year when first basemen are playing mighty roles in the baseball conflict. The game always has known
 many splendid initial sackers, but it is
 doubtful if any era possessed so many
 stars as are operating in this day.
 George Sisler, Hal Chase, John Me-
 Innis, Jake Daubert. Ed Konetchy, Chick Gandi. Walter Pipp, Walter IIolke,
 Harry Heilman-those are few of the first base guardians who are making history this year.
 Never have first basemen-as a big league group-hit at more terrific clip than they are at this time. Six are clouting beyond 300 and of the 1s in the two big shows, F are banging the ball for better than .275 average. The first passing class. as whole, is hitting at rate well beyond the batting aver age of either league.
 Sisier is the bright particular star. There's a youngster who is an ideal ball player in every sense of the word; a youth who ranks today as almost peer i less at first position. Sser lacks noth- ing to deserve the ranking as the great est first baseman of this time-and per l haps of any era.
 Fred Penney was great, and so was I Adrian Anson. Frank Chance was a star of stars, and there were in other 1 days many marvels at the first station. ! But Sisler has demonstrated ability to 1 perform in any one department as well as any of the other stars. and he com 1 pines more worth as a ball player than any first sacker in the history of the l game.
 SISLER FALL THERE l Sser is hitting close to the great mark l that Anson made. Perhaps Cap had a l little bulge on him in the swatting line l But Ssler more than offsets this by his
 marvellous speed on the bases and by
 his brilliant playing at first base Ten , ney and Chase, miracle men as far as
 receiving was concerned, may have had
 little on Sisler in fielding-but Sisler eclpses both as batsman and as a 1 base runner.
 l It is something of a toss-up as te | which first baseman ranks next to Sis /, Ter in 1919 value. The choice perhaps can be made from among McInnis, Chase and Daubert. Each is star. Dauber' l has taken new lease on life since joining the Reds, and it is his wonderful playing that has steadied the entire Rec
