Heavy Rains JReported in Low
er Counties. Heat Wave
Broken. More Rain Needed
The extreme Itcat wave of last week
was broken Saturday afternoon when
a light shower fell and cooled the
atmosphere. Heavy rains were report
ed from around Clovcrport. At .Macco
an electrical and Wind storm did quite
a hit of damage to trees, and the rain
fall is reported to have been general
throughout Daviess county and part
of Hancock. But the storm passed
over Clovcrport, only a slight wind
prevailed with very little rain.
Sunday afternoon the atmosphere
was refreshed with a slight shower.
A temporary relief from the intense
heat wave, which has prevailed since
last Monday, was felt Saturday after
noon from the effects of the storm at
other places.
Rain is needed badly in this com
munity. Gardners report their pota
to vines to be drying up completely,
and it will take a regular "root soak
er and gullcy washer" tto bring out
the vegetation..
In some parts of the county wheat
cutting has been going on during the
past week, so the dry weather was
favorable for the harvesters.

$86.50 SUBSCRIBED
FOR ROAD FUND
Local Merchants and Citizens
Contribute Funds For Im
provement Hawesville Road
Subscriptions amounting to $80.50
have been paid by the merchants and
citizens here for the improvement of
the Clovcrport and Hawesville road
extending from the city limits of
Clovciyrt over what is known as
Patterson hill and on to the Hancock
county line. The road fund was
placed in charge of John Duke, who
lias been over-seeing the work on the
road.
For three weeks Mr. Duke has had
men dragging the road to the foot of
Patterson hill and filling up the cuts
He has succeeded in getting the road
in a much more passable condition.
On account of Jimitecl funds Mr.
Duke has not been able to make any
repairs on Patterson hill.
The petition, those who have-sfgn-ed
it and the amounts cotrpRfcci arc
published herewith. Additional sub
scriptions, which may be paid at The
Brcckcnridge News office, will be
published later.
' "The amounts subscribed in cash
opposite our names, as shown below
arc to be deposited in the Brcckin-ridge-Bank
of Clovcrport, and sub
ject to checks signed by John Duke.
We earnestly request Mr. Duke to
handle this fund and to employ some
reliable person, or persons, to fill the
mud holes as quickly as possible, and
to do other repairs that he considers
advisable."
R. N. Hudson, $25.o0; Breckin-ridge-Bank
of Clovcrport, $25.00; E.
F. Harris, $1.50; J. C. Nolte & Bro.,
$25.00; Jno. D. Babbage, $3.00; Dr.
B. H. Parrish, $3.00.
Mr. R. N. Hudson, president and
general manager L. H. & St. L. R.
R., was over the road last week and
said the work on the road was well
done and full value given for every
cent contributed. He said further that
Patterson's hill could be easily work
ed with sledge hammers and picks
over the rocky places. Just a few
men could put it in good shape in a
few days.
Merchants in this town are making
a mistake by not contributing to this
road fund. It is a road that means a
lot to Clovcrport. Hundreds of farm
ers would come here to do their trad
ing if they could get here over this
hill. Let ever merchant put his
shoulder and his money into this
enterprise. This road would increase
Clovcrport's trade at least 50 per cent.
Drop into The Breckenridgc News
office and have your name enrolled
for this worthy enterprise.
Mr. Hudson is also interested in
the road from Clovernort to Steph-
ensport. He stated that during this
summer the road bed of the Louis
ville, Henderson and St. Louis rail
road, which runs parallel with the
public road would be moved giving
more room for a road and out of the
high-water mark. Mr. Hudson added
that he would lend his assistance in
building this Clovcrport and Steph
ensport road.

ise of Letting Contract For
Cloverport Bridge.
County Attorney W. Sherman Ball,
of Hardinsburg, was in Frankfort,
Friday to confer with Gov. Morrow

garding the letting of the contract
for the Cloverport bridge. After an
interview with the Governor and
members of the Road Department,
Mr. Ball was requested by them to go

missoners. So on Monday, the road
commissioners met with iMr. Ball
and they voted to advertise for bids
immediately.'
In giving this information to The
Breckenridge News, Mr. Ball stated
that in his opinion he believed the
contract for the bridge would
be let in about twenty or twenty
five days. He also added that this wdl
be the first contract to be let inside
of any corporate town, but an ex
ception was made. The county will
have to advance all funds for building
the bridge, but it will be credited later
with the amount.

CLOSING OUT SALE
DRAWS A CROWD
Golden Rule Store Had Big
Opening Day. One Woman
Draws $25 Coat Free.
Bargains of real merit have attract
ed buyers from all sections of Breck
inridge county and part of Indiana
to the Golden Rule Store's closing
out sale which started Wednesday
of last week. The opening day the
store was crowded With shoppers and
there were not sufficient saleswomen
to take care of the trade. More sales
women have been added since then.
In the grocery department 2,000
pounds of sugar was sold in two days.
With each lo.oo purchase ten pounds
of sugar was given away. People have
taken advantage of the sale and pur
chased their winter's supply of can
ned goods.
One of the attractions for the sale
is the window where articles that are
numbered duplicate with the store's
sale hills, arc given away to those
holding the corresponding number.
One day, Mrs. Carl Bcavin drew a
$25.0o coat, which fit her perfectly,
and at another time, little Miss Lucilc
Hambleton, daughter of Mr. and M?
Charles Hambleton, held the dupjf
cate number on a $5.00 red wagon.
The numbers on the articles are
changed every morning at 10 o'clock
so the window proves a drawing card
for each day. A man's two-piece suit
is one of the articles to be drawn by
someone.
The Golden Rule's closing out sale
and the Fcburary stock reducing
sale have made the store more widely
known because of the extensive pub
licity given the sales.
Mr. M. W. France, who is man
aging the closing out sale, noted that
the best crowds were in the store
on Wednesday and Saturday.
