mand and prices are very attrac

jennetts. Buyers in great num

States. A yearling jack raised in
Montgomery county was recently
sold for $800. Henry Letton, of
Nicholas county, sold a fine suck

A Card
I stand for that which is best
for the people socially, morally
and commercially. Believing that
some of the great issues before
the people are the questions of
using money or whisky for cam
paign purposes to corrupt and in
fluence voters and believing both
to be detrimental socially, morally,
and commercially, and knowing
that it is contrary to law to use
money or anything of value for
the purpose of corruptly influen
cing the voters, I wish to declare
myself clearly on those questions.
I have not used whisky, money
or other things of value in this
primary and promise the people j
that I will not do so. I promise
further that I will not 'resort to
any corrupt practices in this cam-

of the peoples money and that I
will demand an economical con

State.
I feel that my chances for the
nomination are good and I wish
to thank one and all for the many
courtesies and kindnesses shown
to me while making my canvess

to those who honored me with

Peacemaker Killed
While trying to settle a mis
understanding between J. W.
Doherty and N. S. Clawton, near
the depot Wednesday night in
Danville, Conductor James T.
Anderson was shot and killed by
Doherty. It seems that the two
men were engaged in a scuffle,
Doherty holding a revolver. When
Anderson came up and attempted
to stop the trouble, Doherty, it is
said, turned the weapon and fired
three shots. AH are railroad
men, the dead man being a
freight conductor, his slayer a
fireman. The ,dead man leaves a
wife and three children, residing
in Somerset, it is said. An ex
amining trial will be held before
Judge Coulter.

The Logical Democratic Can
didate For Sheriff of
t r
I Madison County.
,! Advertisement
; There are five candidates in the
fielc for Sheriff of Madison county,
and all are spendid men. But in
i
a race of this kind there is always
one man who stands pre-eminently
above the rest In the present
instance, it cannot be disputed
that J. S. Collins is the man of the
hour. Without any fear, of suc
cessful contradiction, there is ho
hesitancy in saying he has worked
harder and accomplished more for
the Democratic party than the
combined efforts of his opponents:
For thirty-five years in this coun
ty, in' sunshine and storm, in ad
versity, and defeat, he has" stood
like a stalwart athlete and mar
shalled the scattered hosts, giving
cheer to the disconsolate, taking
up the Flag of Democracy and
waving it defiantly in the face of
defeat, urging those who were
disconsolate and sore to renew
the attack and try to win the vic
tory. He is one man who always
smiled in defeat and continued a
campaign of warfare against the
opposing forces. Had it not been
for his tireless energy, the Demo
cratic party would not be so thor
oughly intrenched in the hearts
and confidences of the people of
Madison county to-day. He has
been a brave warrior and match
less general the noblest Roman
of them all. Not only has he been
a tower of strength in the Demo
cratic ranks, but he has ever been
the true friend of the people, a
like in prosperity and adversity.
He is every inch a true 1 Kentuck
ian always charitable and kind
a loyal and devoted friend at all
times. He is as well qualified to
fill the office as any man in the
county. By his devotion to duty
and loyalty to his friends, he has
won the confidence and esteem of
the masses. He is always alert
and dependable; and if elected
sheriff, he will discharge the duties
of that office with justice and im
partiality. Being such a splendid
type of man, and for years a tire
less vorker for the principles of
Democracy, there is no valid rea
son or excuse why the people
should not elect him sheriff by a
splendid majority. Having de
voted the best portion of his life
and spent large sums of money
for the upbuilding of the Demo
cratic party, the voters of the
county should now show their ap
preciation of his services by nom
inating and electing him the next
Sheriff of Madison county.
