IN HEART OF GOOD COUNTRY. Contracts lor Construction ol Road to Be Let on the 23rd Inst. New TAPS RICH MINERALS AD TIMBER. The Jjuilding oi the Madisonville, Hartford and Eastern railroad, which if now assured, is due entirely to the en ergy, ability and enterprise of few well-known Madisonville citizens. And that the building of thia road is as sured, is evidenced by the fact the final contracts for construction will be let on the 2-id day of this month, and the work of construction will begin imme diately afterward. But building the railroad is not the only enterprise that is on foot. A new town hw been surveyed and platted, and the promoters of this enterprise seem perfectly confident that within a few vears it w ill be the mctroolis of the Green-river valley. At the first conception of the new railroad it was apparent to all who looked the proposed route over that there was room for one good town be tween Madisonville and Hartford, and what is thought to be the right spot for this town has been selected. It lies in one of the most beautiful and picturesque spots of Kentucky, sur rounded by rich mineral, timbered and agricultural land., and coal mines are already King ened in the vicinity in anticiimtion of the coming of the mail. nothingToinq behind the curtain Inter in r ol Hupklns ille Saloons Must Be In full view on Sundays. llopkinsvilli'.Ky., Apral 12 The cit council on the recommendation of Mayor Meachem, passed an ordinance reiiuiring saloon men in the city to remove all stained glas windows. wrr n, blinds, and partition ol strucing Ihe outside view of the interior of the saloon oti Sun. lay and other da when the Mtbt't.s are required to be closed.

LARGE FAMILIES IN MUHLENBERG. Citizens Are Fathers ot Twenty-Four' Children, While Broods ot Six teen Are Common. Central City, April 12-Some county up in the mountains is 'boldly making the assertion that it has the most fatherly man in the state for the reason that he had 20 children, one wife being the mother of eight, and other twelve. Muhlenberg county has always been slow to boast, but when she sees another chairs the horor that rif htly belong to her she must objectvand step forward to numerate some of her fatherly citzens. William Allen has 24 children four by his first wife ad twenty by the last; Meredith Walker has 12childrn, all whom of whom had the same mother; William Greenwood has twenty, and only one wife, and Elijah Duke has IK children, all having the same mother, and there are a hundred other families having 16 children.
