STREET PAVING TO
Be STARTED SOON
Contracting Company Ships First
Consignment OF Machinery
From Louisville Job

The work of transforming the
various streets of the city into
ribbon roads," as new asphalt
streets are termed will be started
within a short time, since Lamp
kin & Burks, contracting firm of
Louisville, having charge of the
work, have shipped the first in
stallment of their machinery apd
it will be in Richmond by the fg !,
of the week. The remainder of
the paraphernalia will arrive lat
er, together with a small army of
men, for it is the intention of the
company to start the work and
continue it with vigor, in order to
complete the contract within the
specified time.
1t is probable however, that
there will not be much Roadway
made at first, owing to the fact
that the sewer work has not been
finished. 1t is the desire of City
Engineer S. F. Crecelius to allow
the streets to settle after the
completion of the excavation
work before starting with the
asphalt.
Contractor McLain, stated that
with favorable weather, he would
soon "be out of the way" since
he has goodly force of workmen
engaged now, but the work has
been so hampered by unfavorable
weather that he has been unable
to make encouraging Roadway.
The paving matter however,
will be given serious attention
-Four months it is believed, with
favoable weather, will be suffi-
cient to complete the work. This
will doubtless be started ON Ian
caster avenue, since the sewer
work there has been completed
and the street is settling and will
be in good order. Lampkin &
Burks are finishing a contract in
Louisville and it is their intention
to throw their entire force or
the work of the Richmond job
as soon as the work there is fin
ished.
! The city engineer claims that
paving work will be started I'm
der ideal conditions. and feels as
sured that it will all be finished
before the arrival of cold wealth
er.

]. C. CAIN RETURNS
FROM A Big TOUR
Recites Exciting Experiences In
Mexico And Other Incidents
While EnroutS

Joe G.. Cain, has just ret:.-0ed from
a long and ples2ant vacation in the
south and tile Pacific coast and has
resumed his work as third trick man
on the l.. & N. at Fort Estill near
town. Mr.. Cain came mighty close to
not getting back, however, for while
over in Juarez, Mexico, a Mexican
"held him up" one night and but fol
the fact that his pistol snapped twice
would probably have murdered Mr.
Cain right in his tracks.
Mr.. Cain had pass over into the
Greaser land good until nine o'clock
at night and having failed to get a
seat on the last street car crossing the
information bridge over the Rio Grande
was walking hurriedly. Mr.. Cain pre-
pared to give him a wide berth as he
went by but before he would get by
the Greaser pulled a long pistol and
sticking it against Gains stomach told
him in pigeon english to thow up his
hands.
Mr.. Cain says he never had such q
funny sensation in his life before; il
really was quite novel he says. He de-
layed about getting his hands up, SC
long that when he did start to raise
one hand, the Mexican evidently
though he was going to try to hurt
him, for he pulled the trigger on his
gun and it snapped harmlessly. Mr.
Cain says that the muzzle was point
ing right at the pit of his stomach g
the time. The minute he heard the
gun snap, however, and realized that
probably wouldn't fire, "beat it" anc
then the greaser snapped it at hin
again and then ran down the alley
Mr.. Cain got over into the "good ole
U. S. A" without further mishap. He
afterwards went as far north on The
Pacific coast as Seattle, and had {
great trip. He was gone about foul
months.

LEST We FORGET
GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL

Tomorrow is go-to-Sunday-
School Day. Everybody is urged
to attend some Sunday school.
Nothing will do you more good
than to cultivate the Sunday
School habit and tomorrow is the
day to begin. No matter wheth-
er you are young or old, it will
be one of the finest influences
that can come into your life. 1t
will give you the feeling that the
day has been we'll spent. When
one. fails to attend church service
Sunday there is a decided feeling
of something missed; a guilty
feeling of duty unperfromed; a
sensation that something is lack
ing to make the day complete.
On the other hand when one has
worshipped by attending Sunday
school and church there is a
feeling that the day is big in &C
complishment, that duty has been
at least partly done, that we are
at least partly worthy to have JOY
in our hearts.
Any Sunday school in Rich
mond will be glad to have you
attend tomorrow at o:30. Come
and make yourself at home
Come with the feeling that you
are not only wanted but needed
to help in the Sunday school
The church must have the Sun
day school; it is the kindling
wood for the church.
Let every Sunday schoo
superintendent in the county re-
member that the collection to-
morrow goes to the State Sunday
School Association. The coun-
tvs quota is $500. Let us raise
| it tomorrow.

new WATER MAIN
SOON TO BE LAID

The Water & Light company
has started the work of excavat-
ing for the purpose of laying the
new water mains. This will be
increased as soon as the workers
on the sewer are out of the way.
The work. started was on East
Main street and will be followed
up as closely upon the heels of
the sewer work.
The company is placing a
character of water main beneath
the streets that carried a guar
antee for fifty years. This will
obviate any necessity of inter-
fering with the new street, after
it is made. The manner in which
the mains are being laid indicates
that they will be there for "all
time, SO to speak and this will
be the last time the streets will
have to be torn up as result OF
the water service.
In order to admit of the streets
settling before paving it is the de
sire of the company to- have the
work completed as soon as posi-
lbe, ard when the way is clear
there will be a big force of men
at work. This will insure q
more extensive and thorough
water service. since preparations
are being made for possible ex-
tensions from the main part o.
the city in the future.

TEN INNING GAME
PLAYED AS OPENER
Stanford Boys Proved Too Much
For Eastern Tean-Wild
Throws Lose Came

Ten innings were required
Friday afternoon to determine
the victor in the contest of the
season between the Eastern State
Normal school and Stanford Uni
versity baseball teams at the To-
cal grounds. The game was call
ed and played on slick grounds
and overthrows upon the part Of
the local team are attributed to
the loss of the game which re-
suited in the tenth inning after
having played a tie for 6 score,
from the eighth.
The work of Embry, a south
paw twirler for the visitors, was
unusual. He had Is men struck
out when the battle ended, and he
is said to be cut of the ordinary
run of pitchers in this neck of the
woods. He simply was there,
and then some. There was I'M
usual interest in the game all the
way, although the threatening
weather cut down the attendance.
There were good plays upon the
part of both teams. Reed, of the
Normal, took care Of four out of
five chances in the field. Bourne
vainly tried to stretch a three
base hit into a home run. and al
though he made a desperate eff
tort he failed but would have won
the game had he succeeded. Sew
eral wild throws by the Eastern
ers are attributed to the losing of
! the game. This is one of the
chances in a baseball game.

most excellent and pleasing man.

The heavy hitting of the East
ern team all looked alike to En-
bry, who took one after another
and folded them up and put them
away repeatedly each inning

and much Of it. The Fasteners
