HOROSCOPE .
FOR 1913
Hopkinsville Will Continiw To
Jbwkh Like A Green
Bay Tree. .
flffj, JI1E I. C. KEEP 'STEP.
NewDepdtOne Of The Crying
f 1'
NeedSi Old long Out
grown. -
We-learn from an exchange that
the IliinoiavCentral Railroad Co.;is to
build a new passenger station at
May field.
This revives a promise made by
the same company, something like
three years since, that if the city
authorities would allow the company
to repair, paint and otherwise im-
' f pBf . lnaahort
prove its
time the comnany would erect a
station in keeping with the growth
of the city.
As yet nothjng has been done, or
even thought of, so, far as we know,
bv the comDany ir. carrying out its
promise. It may-be that the com
pany is' contemplating making a
start in the spring..
But therear?;8ome tilings that
force themselves (pcrj:ornsid?ration
at this time. The People ire con
scious of the fact that the I. C. is a
great feeder to Hopkinsville and at
'the same time kqqw that the road is
doing its share of railroad business
both as to passenger and freight
traffic. The Illinois Central Railroad
is a great corporation, but somehow
HopkinBville .does not receive the
consideration at the hands of the
company that it should. The city
authorities as well as the people are
patienc and long-juffering. They
do not expect great things from
railroad companies, but they like to
see fair play and justice.
Here the very air is surcharged
witl the spirit of progressiveness
and everything must move, as well
as railroad trains everything is on
"the up-grade."
A city that in two months builds a
ew Btreet from the I. C. station to
that of its competitor, the L. & N.
a distance of five squares, and re
constructs Main street for a distance'
of seven Squares, at a cost of $21,
000; completes a high school building
costing approximately $100,000;
builds-an additional hotel that will
increase accommodation for the trav
eling public nearly one hundred per
cent., spends from $8,000 to $10,000
in improvements on another; will in
twelve months spend $25,000 , in
parks, should not be ignored by the
Illinois Central, to say nothing of its
other feeder, the Tennessee Central
Railroad.
But "Rome was not built in a'
day," neither do our people expect
railroad companies to do everything
they would like for them to do in a
year, or two or three years. They
only ask that the railroads do their
part and keep step with the authori
ties and progressive citizens.
The outlook for increased business
the coming year is most' encourag
ing, The optimist is in exuberant
soirits and his eyes sparkle as he
foreeees what great things are in

To All: ;
Eight mill wrighta are now over

Mills, James' Moore, the. engineer
who ran the engines up' to the time
the big plant was steut down, baa
overhaule devery thing in his, depart-;
ment and is ready to turn on steaitti
wben the order is given. The small
er engine is running every day and
night to furnish electricity for the
millwrights and other men working
about the plant, but the big 400
horse power engine', looking as
bright as a new silver dollar, has not
yet been started. However, it
stands ready at a moment's notice to
start the wheels revolving and giv
ing life and energy to a great plant
that has been lying idle for three
years or more.
Mr". Mac Nisbet, who is to have
creneral mansrement of the mills, is
to arrive tomorrow, and it is gener
ally believed that by the 15th of
January the mills will start up
again. We are told that large ship
ments of flour sacks, bran sacks and
other necessary material have aT
ready been received, a general clean
hg1 up of all the premises, including
the offices on Campbell street, has
been about completed, wheat has
been nut into the elevator and al
most everything is now ready for
large force of employes to go to
work. Everybody will be glad when
we hear the big steam whistle an
nounce that one of Hopkinsville's
biggest industries has again started
up. Mr. Dunlap, we greet you!

Again he lets his mind dwell on
tobacco warehouses of immense pro
portions that are to be started when
the spring bird's song is heard, and
in his mind sees Uncle Sam making
a beginning at erecting a $75,000
post office building, and he wonders
whyHie Illinois Central Railroad
Company should so long fail to give
its patrons a station that the city
would glory in and the company
should be proud of.
All our people are friendly to
ward the I. C, but.if it does not do
something soon there are a lot who
would shed no tears if (he fourth
road should be completed and give
the I. C. a lesson in progressiveness.

Frank M Ryan, president of the
International Association of Bridge

among those convicted. He with
others, was accused of unlawfully
transporting dangerous explosives
on interstate passenger trains. Two
defendants were found not guilty.1
They are Daniel Buckley, of Daven

of Milwaukee.
About thirty wives, with almost as
many children, are separated from

Union was convicted. The only
officials not on trial were J. E Mc
Clory.Cleveland, now Stcretary, and
Ed Lewis, Sap Francisco, a member
of the Executive Board.
Chas. W. Miller, the United States
District Attorney, who spoke for the
government, said:
"Nothing else, could have been ex
pected. The evidence of a nation
wide conspiracy which was begun in
local sluggings and assaults on non
union workmen and grew because
local authorities failed to prosecute,
became finally so bold that dynamite
was resorted to.
This prosecution will be a. benefit
to organized labor. It will purge it
of the rough tactics. The whole
United States owes a debt of grati
tude to that jury."

the immediate cause of his death
The deceased was reared near Fair

Mr. Wade visited this city about

New Houses Are Oc
cupied. (ffliNGES OF BUSINESS
Houses. For Rent Have

Taken as Fist as
Vacated.
There is never . a time when cot
tasres and pretentious, residences are
riot in demand litre. It is true that
the cityis already'feo compactiy built
that vacant lots near the business
center cannot be obtained, but in
1912 a large number of homes more
remote froth business were built and
most of tftd owners had either leased
them or moved into them before
Uhnstmas drew near. UI course
thsscf homes cannot be found in the
last city directory and at the end of
3 a' new edition wili be almost an
absolute necessity.
There are not as many changes of
homes this year as usual, not that
the influx from the county is less
than formerly, bt it is due to the
fact that the desire of every man to
own his home is becoming more gen
eral.
In order to keep pace with the
moving spirit prevailing at the end
of the year we.havebeen able to get
"a line'' on some of the changes al
ready made and contemplated.

Dearth in Matrimonial " Market
" in "Midsummer Made
Good.
The. year 1912 was leapyear, but
durjng midsummer there were very
few marriages, the- dearth actually
encroaching on the ; first two. fall
months. In November there was a
noticeable activity in the matrimon
ial market and the move from sin
gle blessedness into the joys of mar
ried life attained such velocity that
in ten days 25 applications were
made at the County Clerk's window
for license. This was kept up until
after Christmas day.
During the year 224 licenses were
issued to whites, against 201 for the
year 1911.
This year 231 licenses were issued
to colored people, against 201 last
year.
The total this year was 455, against
432 in 1911,
These figurswere taken from the
records in the 'office of County Clerk
Stowe Monday afternoon, with Tuec
day to be accounted for.
There were really more than 455
marriages in the county during the
year just closed. Quite a number
of licenses were purchased in other
counties and the rites of matrimony
solemnized in Christian. This in
crease of 21 is a prettv good indi
cation of the continued growth of
the county in population in the past
twelve months the more young
people there are, the more marrying
there is going to be.
