A ls fc "' .i LETTER FROM CARRSVILLE, KY Our Reporter There Tells Us Interesting Things About the Little City. River is Falling. The smallpox at Rosiclare and Fairview landing has obtained uch a wide-spread distribution those two places that the rrsville Board of Health has forbidden the entrance of any person into this town from either place, This order is absolute. The twenty or thirty men living in Carrsville and working at the fluor spar mines across the river are now at home awaiting the raising of this quarantine. Mining at Rosiclare it is stated will be resumed in thirty days or less as the mines will be un-watered by that time. The stock of fluor spar stored at Shawneetown will probably be sufficient to fill all orders up to the resumption of actual output. Fairview has not stopped mining af all on their largest producer, the Blue Diggings shaft, and it is sta'ed the" opening at this point will yield ample ton- i a.re for any unfilled or for the matter of that any new orders that may be received, This company is also opening a new shaft near the river and even in this flooded state of the country no trouble is experienced in keeping the water down and sinking the shaft at the same time. The landing made by the steamer Lowery in one of the hardest winds of the season was gracefully done but in all probability Witherspoon's concrete fence at the foot of the hotel lawn was of great aid to the piolet in holding the boat, bets are being made here that this fence will not show up as very much of a fence when the water in the river recedeB. The steamer It is thought was stonger than the fence, anyhow it sat upon it right smart. "Take this away," said the guest to the waiter as the latter placed a boiled egg before him. "And what shall I do with it sir?" "I don't care what you do with it," replied the guest, "but I would suggest you wring it's necK."

Ky., in which had been loaded seven hogsheads of hand packed tobacco consigned to a buyer in Clarks-ville, Tenn., was burned Thurs-i day night by incendiaries, as believed, giving rise to some uneasiness that a revival of "night riders" is imminent. One report from Cobb is to the effect that the car and tobacco were burned by a band of men. Another re-! port is that it was undoubtedly set afire, but by whom and just in what way is not known. In either event there is said to be no clew what ever as to who the firebugs were or their motives. There were about 7,000 pounds of tobacco, and it is a total loss, "hile the burning of the tobacco bears all the ear-marks of the "night riding" of five or six years ago no serious import is attached to Kent.

Some one suggests that the opportunity of a life time is now right here, bring in a lot of yeast and with the corn already in the river a wonderful amount of whisky could be produced ver cheaply. It is understood that Mr. Frank Hamby, the widely known real estate artist, is arranging for the resumption of our weekly newspaper. More Marion gossip is heard in Carrsville every week than could be talked ot in a town twice the size of Marion in any one month. Last week we had very good stories about a druggist, a dry goods man, a fluor spar miner, a Mason and an Odd Fellow. Very likely some of them were true, they sounded natural, at least. Somebody said that the numerous churches here were well filled last Sunday, they ought to be thereis certainly enough of them. Dr. Gardner performed several surgical operations on Albert Witherspoon last week. He handled the instruments of torture so painlessly that i o one except Mr. Witherspnon really felt any unpleasant effects as each tooth was drawn. The rest of us did not mina it at all.

Senator R. M. I Salmon has raised the question ot Col. Howell's" eligibility to enter tne primary on tne ground that the latter has not been a legal resident of the district for twelve months. Col. Howell left his farm in Trigg county on last election day to to make his permanent residence here. That was November 5. The election this year comes November 4, so the well-known Pcnyrile orator would be shy just one day of the period of residence required by the constitution. He had his plans made months ago to make the race and all arrangements to remove to Hopkinsville but stayed on the farm till election day so as not lose his votp for Woodrow Wilson in last Novem ber's election. Col. Howell has submitted the facts to a number of prominent Kentucky attorneys and will abide by their decision.

Wishing you continued success with your paper, I remain, your friend, W. M. DeHaven. In Memory of Bro. Young. The subject of this sketch was born in England, June 6, 1847, and was converted and joined the church in early Hie. Uncle Hutch as many of us called him was a good man and loved by as many as knew him. His health began to decline more than a year ago and continued to do so tiil death claimed him. Some years ago he moved from the Tolu neighborhood to Wier, Muhlenburg, Co., where he lived until the latter part of 1912; then he and his family went to Murphursboro, III., where he died Jan. 9th, 1913. It was his request to be buried there. He leaves a wife and three children by his last wife who was Alice McMican. Ed his oldest by his first wife who now lives near Lebanon, Ohio, and who is the wife of Foster Love who now resides in Murphresboro, where Bro. Young died. His wife and hree children, Addie May War-than and Jim Bigham are still with the daughter. Jot and Gabe his two sons by his second wife are in Los Angeles, California. Bro. Young was a life-long Methodist and was loyal to his Church. Our church missed him when he moved away. We missed him as a neighbor and now that he has gone to heaven we shall miss him more and more. Mav the richest benedictions of heaven ever abide with Alice and the children is our prayer. R.M.F. "?r - N-5., -,M CLOSE THEIR OGOKS. Will Receive no More Unpooled Tobacco at Present Situation Growing Serious. A critical situation was relieved Monday when Mr. Thomas Hodge, in behalf of the Hodge Tobacco Company, authorized the statement that no more tobacco would be received at the Green street factory. The' exclusive news in Sunday's Journal that all fire insurance in Henderson has been cancelled and insurance rewritten in New York without the riot clause, and that all arrangements had been made to throw open the doors of the lower Green street factory for the tobacco of independents, was a matter of general discussion all day Sunday. No one questioned that the Hodges were acting clearly within their legal rights. But the question uppermost in every mind was whether the strained situation would stand this latest move on the part of the buyers without a volcanic explosion. Great was the relief, therefore when on Monday the Hodges wisely 'arranged to close the Green street factory. It was said, among ether things that all local insurance carried by the Hodges has been concelled and that insurance to the ex; tent of nearly $350,000 had been taken out in New York, and that in this insurance there is no riot clause. In other words, the new insurance provides against trouble which might anse throu the rather feverish state of the public mind just now with reference to tobacco. Henderson Gl. To Our Subscribers. All of whom we hope are our friends; The subscription lists of the Crittenden Press, the Crittenden Record and the Marion News which now amount to 5000 names are so unwieldy that we find it laborious to keep them posted up right unless each subscriber attends to his own renewal. We can't always send a statement before discontinuing one's paper altho we aim to do so and to give each person fair warning so they can renew. We have now several thousand of expired subscriptions due us which we shall be compelled to put out for collection. Won't you come in and pay your mite and thus save us the embarrassment of putting your small account along with a thousand others in a batch to be collected. THE CRITTENDEN RECORD-PRESS. FOR SALE.
