Hogs Killed
Last Thursday week the light
ning struck a large limb of a f lo
cust tree near the mouth of Paint
Lick, on the farm of Ashford J.
Wyley,'; There' is nothing pecul
iar about that, but on Friday morn
ing the neighbors were astonished
to find that the Jimb, instead ' of
wilting and dying as is the ' usual
effect of a stroke of lightning . on
growing timber, had given forth
a full and heavy locust blobm and
is still in bloom. This is vouched
for by T. M. Warren, of Edenton,
Ky., who rode to the place to see
it. This has attracted much at
tention in that locality, and many
hundreds of people 'have visited
the place. ; "
Mr. Warren also told lis a re
markable thing in reference to a
calf two months old. He says
that his uncle, Elisha Warren,
has a cow and calf which run to
gether in the field ' and although
this "calf is a vigorous, healthy
animal, it refuses to suck the cow
except when she is driven to , the
Lightning kill lei two Iarga hogs ; milk gap. The calf is not muz
for Mr. Dab Todd at Bybe this zled and no effort is made to keep
i it from sucking. Mr. Elisha War-
ren lives at n-aemon, ana Mr. 1.
M. Warren asks any one who
doubts the story to write to his
uncle Elisha for the facts.

KENTUCKY UTILITIES CO.
Senator Camden, of Woodford
i County gave, a barbecue which
; perhaps was the largest one ever
; given, and unquestionably was
the largest one ever given in this
; State by. an individual. It was
; for the ostensible purpose of bring
: ing the farmers of the state to
gether to discuss better methods
of farming, but its real purpose
which we infer was to bring Sen-
! ator Camden forward in a politi
cal way. ! '
About three hundred good Mad
isonians availed themselves of
the ppportumty to attend, and
they are loud in their praises of
the delightful entertainment given
them by Senator Camden..- They
report that fully two .t thousand
automobiles were on hand and'
that people came from all over
the state by automobile and by
train. Over twenty thousand per
sons were in , attendance. , The
barbecue was line and- everybody
was in the best of humor and the
event will live long in the memory
of those so fortunate to attend.
A severe hail storm passed over
the Eastern part of Jessamine
county last week doing much dam
age to the growing tobacco crop.
It was preceded by a severe elec

Pollard lost a piir of males val
ued at $400, Ruben Stinnett lost
a horse valued at $150, Nathan
Whittaker also lost a horse valued
at $100. All of these animals
were struck by lightning. The
storm was a severe one and much
damage vyas; done to " growing
crops by wind and lightning.- . .
A special dispatch sent out from
Carlisle, Saturday, contained the
following account of the death of
Miss Hazel Knox, of Paris, which
occured in Carlisle, Friday:
"Fright killed Miss Hazel Knox;
18, daughter of David Knox, of
Paris, Ky., Friday, when, while
out buggy-riding her horse became
unmanageable and tried to rtyi
away.
- "The young woman was the
guest of her aunt and her relative
was in the vehicle when the acci
dent occurred. When the. horse
became frightened Miss Knox
tried to leap from the buggy.
Her aunt restrained her.
"A moment, later, while her
aunt's attention was diverted,
the girl leaped to the ground. In
the jump she . kept her footing
and started down the roadway.
Suddenly she toppled over and
expired. Physicians said a weakj
heart and the shock incident to
the mishap, caused death." Ex.
