many inquiries from water companies

endeavoring to give the best service
possible to insure the city of plenty

stallation of the new turbine by the
Maysville Power Company there is no

give to the public the best service pos

SCAFFOLD IS
SUGGESTED AS
BEST MEMORIAL
Col. Cheshire Suggests the Erection
Of Scaifold on Highest Peak In the
Mountains for Miss Parsons
Murderer.

Pineville, KY, Feb. s. - Writing in
the Citizen, Col. j. Cheshire says:
"1n the name of all the gods at once.
ask II you people of Eastern Ken
lucky are going to sit idly by and not
attempt to ferret out the ravisher Of
Lura Parsons. You people who put
the honor of woman above everything
else In this woe ridden world. Because
the court has not convicted any one,
are you going to give up before justice
Is meted out to the man who commit
ted one Of the most horrible crimes
in the annals of the history of this
great state?
"Well meaning women are getting
together fund to erect a shaft to the
memory of this martyr of mans lust.
But like the master of old said: They
know not what to do
"They should contribute a fund to
build scaffold on the highest peak of
Pine Mountain and let that scaffold
stand silent witness to the unspeak-
able crime committed there and re-
main intact until justice brings to it
the man who has outraged Lura Par
sons, brutally murdered her-at one
fell swoop hurled into eternity a pure
soul, and cast a shadow over this state
that all time cannot efface. And this
fend is yet unpunished.
I'VE boast of our uper-civilization /;
we prattle of justice, and yet an
atrocity is committed under our very
nose and we stand aside and let
George do it, when the time comes to
bring to the bar of justice fiend who
has stained the mountainside with the
blood Of good woman.
mo, people don't build a shaft to
her memory-be ashamed of yourself.
II Lura Parsons could speak out from
the great beyond she would not ask
for monument. No. She would ask, |
think, that her body repose in rest in
soon to be forgotten spot where the
west winds carol sweet melodies and
Heavens star-domed concave ever
keeps watch and ward over its own. "

A DELIGHTFUL OCCASION.

The entertainment given Monday
afternoon by Mrs. William H. Cox in
honor of Mrs. Earl Wheat, to the
Kings Daughters of the Episcopal
church, was an affair long to be re-
membered. Mrs. Wheat, in a gracious,
charming way, gave an interesting in
structive talk on Student Life at
West Point" and illustrated it with
beautiful pictures explaining clearly
the location of the most important
buildings and the wonderful architec-
ture our government owns there.
An offering was taken for the bene-
fit Of the starving little children in
Europe and the Kings Daughters
were gritfied that the sum given will
provide nourishing good food for three
tots until the next harvest time. De-
licious refreshments were served and
the meeting was closed by Master Earl
Wheat giving the military salute.
