men entered the Office Of County
Attorney II. NJ. Moore. they each
gave the name of Mrs. George

husband be proeCuted.
The second wife sWore out a

FENCES may HAVE
TO Be MOVED BACK
Along Lexington Pike AS Govern
ment Demands 40-Foot Road
Width Wherever 1t Helps

District Engineer Johnson,
from the State Road Department,
lis here making his headquarters
at Richmond. during the preli1nin-
Iary work OF surveying the Lex
ington pike. State Road Engineer
Joe S. Boggs spent Sunday and
Monday at his home here and
went over the plans with Engi-
neer Johnson. Work is to be
pushed on this highway. The
survey work will soon be done,
blue prints then made and adver-
tisement for bids will come next.
Mr.. Boggs is very sanguine that
a contract can be secured that will
provide for the completion OF the
work this year.
However, he gives little hope of
the city of Richmond being able
TO get the state and government
to assist i'll the paving Of the
about half a mile of West Main
street to connect up the city's
paved stcets with the work in the
county that will soon be started.
He says that the government has
ruled against assisting any city
over $500 population i'll ooing
street paving work on the federal
aid plan. and for that reason does
not believe it will be possible for
Richmond to secure such cooper
alton This will be d great disap-
pOintment III town here, for the
gap in the paving will be insight
l. and spoil the appearance of
what gives promise otherwise of
being a very attractive roadway.
1t is understood that the survey
being made shows that a number
of fences are going to have to be
moved back along the Lexington
pike before the new work begins.
The governments making
regulations call for a minimum
width of forty feet for any road it
is building, and some of the farm
lers along the Lexington pike are
going to have to move back their
fences. 1t is really limited that sew
Ieral of them are farther out on
the pike than they have a right to
be under their deeds anyway.
However. practically all who have
mentioned the matter. have ex-
pressed the greatest willingness
to move back as far as deired in
Iorder to assist in the work of
making the the best roadway to
be found anywhere in this section
of the state.

iOusly kept, and he at all times squar-
ed his professional life by the true
ethics of the profession, and for these
ennobling qualities his surviving
brothers all loved him and will long
treasure the memory of their inter
course with him.
Mr. Bennett had in our social and
business circles the highest rank. He
was the Commissioner of Kentucky
at the Worlds Fair held at Chicago.
He was long President of the Farm
ers' National Bank. He was not only
an advocate of, but generous con-
tributor to those educational and in
ternal improvements interests which
were organized in Madison county for
its civilization and it's onward pro-
gress, often at the cost of personal
sacrifice and pecuniary loss. Mr.. Ben
nett held to the sense of duty so beau
tifully expressed by Daniel Webster,
with conscience satisfied with the
discharge of duty, no consequences
can harm US. This sense of duty is
Omnipresent, performed or violated, it
remains with us for our happiness or
misery, to pain us if violated, and to
console us if God has given us grace
to perform it."
1t will be pleasant recollection to
all to know that in his last illness

that he passed peacefully to his rest,

summoned to his Master.
