Says They Can't Compromise.
The City Council of Paris employed
an eminent legal firm to give an opin
ion as to whether the city had a right
to compromise back taxes with the
banks. In an exhaustive report they
decided that the city possessed no such
power. The matter will be investiga
ted and able attorneys consulted.
Murderer at Large.
Otis Malicote, who killed Lee Pigg
near Narrow Gap, Madisan county, on
Saturday afternoon, is still at large.
Malicote and Pigg quarreled over a
fifty-cent debt when the former stal
bed the latter four times with a dirk
knife, killing him almost instantly. A
posse is scouring the neighborhood for
the fugitive.
Several Came lo Hooks.
Several delinquents paid their sub
scriptions Monday. There are others
who keep promising, but their names
will soon be sent to a collector who
will make life a burdon 'til the amount
is paid. We must have moac7. or we

"Will try Concrete Crossings.
Danville, following Paris, is going to
put down concrete street crossings.
They have been tested in the latter
city seven j-ears, and not only are
more durable than rock crossings but
cost about half as much. We have
noticed this matter highly spoken of
in several exchanges. 'It wi l certain

Champion Cabhage.
Mr. Charley Grimes, one of Lower
Garrard's mo it successfnl farmer?,
brought to this olli-'u a head of cabb:ie
which we will put against all comers
as the biggest and best of the season.
It weighs 23 pounds and measures 3
feet 11 inches iu circumference. Across
the top it is 19 inches. The leaves are
perfectly sound and the entire head
sound.
Much Talk.
Temperance speakers have mounted
the raging stump in Richmond and are
making war against open bar rooms.
We are opposed to bar rooms, but
would also prefer to be excused from
listening to the average dry, sle2py
temperance lecturer. Most of them
are so dry that a chew of tobacco
would not come "in case" in their
mouths in three weeks.
Wheeling Killed Him.
The " Louisville papers tell of the
death of Walter C. Morgan, who was
riding a bicycle from Louisville to
Lancaster. He was with a young Mr.
Crow, nephew of A. B. Brown Sr., of
this place. The heat was intense and
Morgan fell from his wheel daad, the
victim of sunstroke. The Courier
Journal speaks highly of Morgan and
says he was soon to be married to a
lady born and raised here.

Guard at the len.
Mr. Chas. M. Norris has been given
a position as guard at the Frankfort
penitentiary. He will enter upon h;s
duties in a few days. There are a
number of Garrard county men there
as guards, among them Jim Grillhi,
Cal East, Will Broaddus and several
others. As the new Commissioners arc
democrats, we suppose the Garrard
delegation will soon be turned out in
the cold.
A Pleasant Trip.
Eld. George and Prcf. B. S. Gowen
have returned from a pleasant trip up
East. They traveled over the superb
C. & O. route and, like all the rest of
its passengers, arj loud in praise of
the lovely scenery and complete ser
vice, xney visitea tvasuingion, jaw
York, Old Point and many other big
places. Now, if anyone doubts the
glowing descriptions we gave of our
tr pi up there, just ask them about it.
The Sidewalks.
The City Council is wrestling with
the sidewalk question. Every man
able to own property ought to bo wil
ling to lay a decent walk by it and,
from the standpoint of right and
wrong he should do so without the
law having to forci him. But some
parties won't do it. If they have a
good walk batween them and town
they dont care a cuss what other fel
lows have to walk through. Lancas
ter has the poorest sidewalks of any
town in Central Kentucky and we
hope the efforts of the Council will
prove successful.

several public spirittd citizens started

the bays comfortable. After all ob
tainable waro gotter, there yet re
mained sixty or seventy m -n with aV
solutely nothing to keep oil the cold.
Tnosj hustling for the bays laid the
matter before Judge Burnside and he
ordered some t lankets, all readily
agreeing that the county should pay
for th?m. The matter was brought
before tli2 court Monday and 'Squires
Ike Mj-ers ard Noel voted to pay the

The people of Nicholasville are hust
ling for their town as never a lot of
good folks hustled before. They have
organized a Commercial Club and are
pulling together for the advancement
of the town's interest. On September
10, the one hundreth anniversary of
thi good old town will celebrated
in grand style. Everything porsiblu
to make the occasion a iu cjss is being
done. They never do things by halves
over there and it goes without saying
that the big pot will be put clean in
side the little one. It does one's soul
good to visit a town like N'c toiasvr e.
The people are glad to see y n anu ex

sively that they are free from the dis
gusting manner of thinking themselves
b.-tter than the, rest of mankind.
