Force Man to Help Destroy His Own Bed
of Plants Blood Hounds go
to the Place.
Princeton, Ky., May 27, Saturday
nitjht, between the hours of 12
and 1 o'clock, about thirty-five masked
men went to the home of Noble
Robinson, of near Cobb, and after
firing several volleys, ordered him to
come out of his house. The order
was obeyed and it is said Mr. Robinson
was forced to go with the men
to his tobacco bed and participate in
its destruction. He was given a hoc
and told him to get busy, which it is
claimed he did.
All the men are said to have been
masked, and as a result, Mr. Robinson
was unable to recognize any of
them.
Several nights ago the tobacco
beds of Mr. Lee Pollard, and his tenant
were destroyed by night riders,
and it is thought that the same men
who destroyed Mr. Pollard's plant
beds arc the ones who visited Mr.
Robinson.
The Hopkinsville Kcntuckian says:
Two plant beds on the farm of J.
A. Miles at Benncttstown were robbed,
the thief pulling all the plants
lart,'e enough for transplanting.
The canvas, which was rolled up
and lying on a stump, was also carried
away. From the tracts left,
there were only one or two of the
thieves. The two beds contained
about two hundred square yards and
the robery was not discovered until
next morning, when negroes went to
the bed to get plants to set out Mr.
Miles' crop. Mr. Jliles has, from
the first, becu a member of the
farmers association.
He telephoned to this city to
deputy marshal, T. J. Cundiff and
his assistant, T. B. Pedigo, went to
the scene with bloodhounds, with
which an attempt was made to catch
the thief.
On account of the drizziling rain,
though, the dogs were unable to take
the trail.
On the same night Oscar Pendleton,
who lives on the farm adjoining
Mr. Miles, was similary visited and
suffered even to a greater extent.
He lost the plants from 400 yards of
beds.
Other farmers in the same section
are reported to have had plauts stolen.

Graded Schools For Providence.
The graded school proposition was
voted on in Providence Tuesday and
carried by the decisive vote of 302
to 41, and this thriving little city
will soon have a splendid graded
school.
About the only opposition to the
school was caused by the location of
the building, the majority favoring
the old academy site while some favored
the Givens residonce. Providence

VOL. 29. MARION, CRITTENDEN COUNTY, KENTUCKY, JUNE 6. 1907. NUMBER I.
MORE NIGHT RIDERS CEMETERY ASSOCIATION HONOR ROLL JUDGE J. FLEM GORDON TAYLOR-PICKENS SCHOOL BOND PAID OFF
The committee of the Marion
Cemetery Association, composed of
the following members, H. K. Woods
chairman. H. V. Stone, T. H. Cochran,
J. F. Dodge, Mrs. G. M.
treasurer; Miss Nelle Walker,
secretary. would respectfully report
as follows:
We have sold lots to the following
parties: John Moore, Dr. T. A.
Frazer, Dr. F. W. Nunn, Ed Cook,
Walter Blackburn, Hughcy Hurley,
Wm. Copher, R. K. Flanary, Phil
Deboe, Dr. Dixon, T. J. Yandel!,
Tom Rankin, H. K. Wood.
Our option to purchase the cemetery
will close the ISth, inst., and
we are very anxious to make a sale
of seven more lots at a reduced price
of $13 per lot, in order to make this
purchase. There arc something
near 200 good lots yet unsold.
The following have paid in their
$1) for the year ending June 1, 100S:
Henry Stone, Mrs. Carloss, W. C.
Carnahan, Lee Vick, R. 1. Nunn,
R. F. Dorr, A. H. McXceley, II.

Mrs. L. A. Weldon.
The Marion Cemetery Association
is pushing the work undertaken by
it, in the way of collecting money
from lot owners and also the sale of
lots. It wishes to keep before the
public this sale of twenty lots at
13 each and this fund to be used in
purchasing the cemetery from J. B.
Kevil and making it public property.
Only a few days of the option
remain and this sum must be raised
in this time. The regular price of
$20 will be put on lots after this
purchase.
We appreciate the hearty response
we are meeting iu our call upon the
lot owners for the $3 for work this
year. We have employed John
Brantley, at $25 per month, to do
this work. He is taking the lots iu
rotation as pay comes in and will
care for only those paying the $3.
Then the walks and drives are to be
cleaned of the grass. Some may
wonder what work there is that will
keep a man employed tor seven
months. et, if they will only stop
and consider the condition of the
cemetery they will soon dc convinced
there is a great deal to be done aud
that it will keep a man busy all the
season to do this.
There are something near 200
lots. still unsold and wo feel
that this purchase price of $300 for
this must be met. We still ask help
of those who have no lots there to
buy during the next fifteen days.
After this purchase is made then the
money realized from salo of lots will
be turned mto the cemetery funds,
and used to keep the place in order.
There is no graft in this nnd no one
need fear that his money will be misappropriated.
Do not stand back
and criticize, but come and help us
out in this work.

Will Probably Resign As Circuit Judge
of The Hopkins Judicial District,
So it is Reported.
It i- currently reported that Judge
J. Fleming Gordon has decided to
accept the position as president of a
big trust company just organized at
Paducah and that he will tender his
resignation as circuit judge of this
judicial district to take effect July
1st, says the Hustler.
While the Hustler has held no
direct communication with Judge
Gordon, the information seems to be
thoroughly reliable.
The matter has been under
by him for some time and while
he was at Paducah Friday it is said
the final arrangements were made.
It will be with regret that the people
of Madisonvillc will see Judjre
Gordon leave the city, -Ho was born
and reared here. As presiding judge
of our circuit court he has acted with
great courage and shown rare judicial
discrimination.
Governor Beckham'will have the
appoiutment of a successor until the
November election, when an elcctjon
will be held for the unexpired term.

Treas, H, A. Haynes Pays off Last Old
School Bond of $2,000.00
H. A. Haynes, the treasurer for
Marion Graded School district, has
paid off the last $2,000. bond of the
old issue which was sold to build the
main building. This is indeed a
fine showing for the board aud leaves
the district free of the debt except
the new bonds of $5,000. which
were sold two years ago to build the
auditorium and new chapel.
When the high character of the
school maintained hcrejis considered,
coupled with the fact that the building
is now heated by a new steam
radiator system and has new opera
chairs in the auditorium, is really
remarkable that the sinking fund
has been sufficient to retire the old
bonds so quickly. Great credit is
due the school board and each citizen
of the district should "hold up their
hand" in all matters touching this
the greatest of Marion's enterprises.
The blessings of a good school will
decend to generations unborn as
well as to the boys and girls of
today.
