City Council Met Monday Night. Utilities Discussion and Street Improvement. At the regular session of the Board of Council held last Monday evening, April 25, 1921, all members were present and Mayor Cruse presided, paying usual bills, among which were $1,017.99 for stone placed on Jacksboro, Main, Vine, Plum and Mt. Vernon, and the bills of Kentucky Utilities Company for street lights and water plugs for quarter ending March 31, 1921, aggregate $1,989.25. A communication was read from Mr. Herrington, Vice President Kentucky Utilities Company, regretting that an increase was not granted in street car fares and advising that the contemplated street improvements would effect a confiscation of their properties and that they would not pay any part of the cost of this work and that the enforcement of ordinances and resolutions enacted would make it impossible to continue operation of street car system. Judge W.B. Morrow, on behalf of the K.U. Co., stated the conditions existing, calling attention to the improvements in various utilities as had been done by them and the matter was given general discussion. On motion of Councilman Norfleet it was ordered that Waddle Brothers be employed to assist City Attorney in straightening out the legal phases of this condition and to determine the rights of the K.U. Co. and the City. Permissions were granted to Lee Hudson, R.J. McDaniel, C.F. Berry and T.V. Ferrell to make repairs and improvements to their residences, also to Somerset Bill Posting Co. to erect three bill boards.

Vernon and College Streets where same are required; cost of same to be 80 cents per lin. ft. for combined curb and gutter and 30 cents per sq. ft. for gutter only, improvements to be paid by abutting property owners on completion of the work. Next session of Council will be May 9, 1921. Riche - Inman. The following news item taken from the Akron Beacon Journal of Akron, O., will be read with interest here where Mr. Inman is well known and has many friends: Foretelling a marital event of the month of May in the Golden State, announcement has been made of the engagement of Lawrence J. Inman, well know Akron man, son of Mrs. Ella J. Inman, 904 Elmore Ave., to Mrs. Jane Evans, of Long Beach, California. The bride to be is one of California's most attractive and versatile daughters. In addition to her individual charm, she possesses a beautiful soprano voice, and is a pianist of exceptional ability. For the past two years she has been engaged in stage and concert work. The wedding will culminate a romance of college days, when Mr. Inman was attending Purdue Univ., from which he was graduated in electrical engineering. Mr. Inman was formerly a sergeant in the 332nd Infantry. He has been manager of the Cleveland office of the Borne-Means Co., for a year. Mr. Inman is leaving for the west Friday and the wedding will take place early in May at Long Beach, where the young folks expect to make their home. Farm News. Framers from Grundy and Shopville accompanied the County Agent on a trip to Berea College Farm at Berea, Ky., to buy some Holstein cattle. Seven of these dairy calves will be purchased and shipping into Pulaski. The farmers making the trip were Henry Plackey, Joe Yahnig, Jack Smiley and John Hansford. Mr. R.B. Rankin of Wayne County has been appointed assistant county agent in Pulaski County by the Extension Department of the College of Agriculture. Mr. Rankin is a graduate of Kentucky College of Agriculture, 1917. He comes from Hammond, Ind., where he had a position as foreman in Swift & Co.'s fertilizer plant. Previous to this he held a position with the Dept. of Agriculture Bureau of Animal Industry. Pulaski County is lucky to have such an able young man to assist in the county agent work. W.F. Wilson and W.J. Dalton, both pure bred seed corn growers of Nancy, Ky., have each donated a bushel of their high class seed corn to the Junior Agricultural Club member growing corn. Each club member gets a gallon of seed and the seed can be had by calling at the county agent's office. The Barred Rock egg sale held at Buncombe school house last Friday afternoon with Mr. Geo. McDonald as auctioneer, was a great success. The eggs made an average of over 26 cents per setting. The Junior Agricultural Club members at Buncombe competed in a corn judging contest held at Buncombe. Victor Taylor won first, Martha McDonald won second, and Rosa Godby won third. The farmers of the community first judged the corn and placed it and their placing was used as a basis for the club members. Mr. V.W. Lewis, Field Representative of the Swine World, attended the meeting and assisted in the contest. In Memory. Sad was the hour and fatal the day, When they took our dear one away, We saw her suffer and heard her sighs, With aching hearts and weeping eyes, We saw her sinking hour by hour, Yet, could not stay death's awful power, But now she calmly sleeps at last, All pains, all aches, all suffering past. Miss Myrtle Wesley, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Wesley, died April 21st, 1921, after a lingering illness of tuberculosis. She was laid to rest in the Shady Grove church yards. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. B.M. Wesley. - One of her many friends, Lulu Adams. Fire Damage. The fire department was called to the home of Major Keene Monday morning and soon extinguished a blaze that was gaining headway on the roof. The damage was small.

After having given the matter due consideration based upon a personal survey of the situation and appeals from various parts of the county, I have decided to enter the race for the nomination for Sheriff on the Republican ticket. In doing so, I am not unmindful of the strength of other candidates on account of the factional organizations while are being relied upon for support. But my candidacy will be presented to the people on a platform of law enforcement and the execution of all papers placed in my hands. In proof of this I refer you to the five years I served as Deputy Sheriff and four years as Sheriff of the county. If the record made at that time does not entitle me to your suffrage it should be given to some one else. Investigate my record. Born and reared near Hail in this county, I was left an orphan at an early age, and it developed upon me to help support my widowed mother, and while doing so, secured what education my time would permit. When I arrived at the years of maturity, I was married to the daughter of Walter Elrod, and we now have a family of seven children, whose welfare I seek, in addition to the home training, in the enforcement of the law and the suppression of vice, which is so apparent to everyone that it useless to go into detail. Especially do I appeal to the women whose suffrage has always been advocated by me. If nominated and elected they can rest assured that so far as lies within my power the law will be enforced in every portion of the county, and this includes the city of Somerset as well as other portions of the county. If elected Sheriff, I will be the servant of the whole people and not a privileged few, or any political faction, and, as women are voters I shall have a woman deputy in my office. I was the first Sheriff to have a lady for deputy in this county. So far as I am concerned this campaign will be conducted without any mud slinging, and my opponents will be treated fairly and the fight will be made on a plane that the dignity of the office requires. If elected those only will serve as deputies who believe in the enforcement of the law, and have the courage to carry their convictions into execution. Remember my platform: "Enforcement of the law and the Execution of all Papers placed in my hands." If this platform meets your approval, I would like to have your vote, and I assure you, that no one will appreciate your suffrage more than I do. We will get better acquainted soon as I am coming to see you at your homes. Yours for a better Pulaski County. Sincerely, Ben P. Hines. Advertisement. For Sheriff. The Journal is authorized to announce Mr. Ben P. Hines of this city, a candidate for the Republican nomination for Sheriff. Mr. Hines entry makes it a three cornered race and one that will be watched with interest. Mr. Hines was born and reared on a farm near Hail, in old Jugornot precinct, where he grew to manhood as a laborer on the farm and in the stave woods and made a living for his widowed mother. He attended the common schools of the county when opportunity permitted. After serving for five years as deputy sheriff, 4 years under C.M. Langdon and 1 year under Walter Elrod, he was his party's choice for sheriff and served in that capacity for four years. He won the race by an overwhelming majority which showed his popularity. He is said to have made one of the best sheriffs the county ever had. He was a hustler and kept the business of the office in fine shape and no attorney ever had to kick because papers were not served. Mr. Hines is a splendid type of citizenship. He is a devout member of the Methodist Church and until recently was an officer in that church. He has a most interesting family. He married Miss Lelia Elrod, daughter of Walter Elrod, and seven children bless their home. Mr. Hines identifies himself with no faction of the Republican party. He is making the race without support of the bosses, he says, and if elected will not be controlled by any man or set of men. Clinton For Bethurum. After consulting with his friends in Clinton County, Judge Bethurum selected Hon. C.P. Huff as his campaign manager in that county. The selection of Mr. Huff is timely and wise. This serves to break down all factional differences in that county so far as the race for Circuit Judge is concerned. Mr. Huff has served that county as Sheriff, and made a good one, and is today one of the most popular men in Clinton County. He is shrewd and tactful, and a past master in the art of politics, although he is a business man and has never relied upon political office for a living. Mr. Huff opposed Judge Bethurum in the race six years ago, but is now ready and anxious to make even a harder fight for the Judge than he then made against him. His opposition in the former race grew out of factional politics, and not because he was dissatisfied with Judge Bethurum as a Judge. Upon taking charge of Judge Bethurum's campaign in Clinton, Mr. Huff said: Our people are satisfied with Judge Bethurum's way of conducting his courts. He treats every one kind and nice, and gives every one justice. I fought him hard six years ago, and he has treated me as courteously and kindly as if I had been for him in that race. No one could see any difference, and there has been none. I think that I am pretty well acquainted with the situation in this county, having made diligent inquiry from all sections, and there is no doubt in my mind but what Judge Bethurum will carry Clinton County by a good majority. He is a Republican that never goes down on his party, and we of Clinton know that although a certain candidate has tried to create a different impression. By doing this he reflects on the intelligence of the voters of Clinton County. We read the papers and know what is going on, and are all satisfied that Judge Bethurum has a political record that is unassailable, but his opponent is unable to establish one that will satisfy the Republicans of Clinton County, who pride themselves upon their Republicanism. I accept the management of Judge Bethurum's campaign in this county with the intention and purpose of doing everything that is in my power in his behalf, and I shall devote most of my time from now till the primary to that task, with the help of the Judge's other friends, of organizing the county in a way that will bring victory to our cause." From Commonwealth, April 27, 1921. Advertisement. A Big Bluff. Those acquainted with political conditions in Pulaski County agree that Judge Tartar will be nominated in the August primary by an overwhelming majority. The people of the county are for him, because he has been of real service to them. No other person ever connected with public life in Pulaski County has done as much for the people, and made the efforts to upbuild the county as Judge Tartar. The few politicians who desire his defeat, are opposed to him because he cannot be controlled and because he is the people's Judge. He has injected new line to the road program in Pulaski County and the people are rallying to him almost as a unit. Never in the history of the county has there been such a complete accord and cooperation between the people and the county government n the matter of road improvement than now. A few politicians would be willing for the good road program to stop, and progress halted in Pulaski County for ten years, in order to gain a little advantage in the coming primary election. Judge Tartar will push the good road program to the limit and will not be terrified by threats or intimidated by criticism. The county treasurer says that the county is in the best financial condition it has been in for years. Those in charge of the county government are able to finance every project undertaken by the county. Let the people be not deceived by election propaganda, and by the agitation of those who can do nothing for them, and would not if they could. If it is a crime to build roads for the people, and improve the public highways, then Judge Tartar is a great criminal. The bluffers should either carry out their threats, and attempt to stop the road improvement of the county, or shut up. From Pulaski County Republican, April 22, 1921. Advertisement. Wesley. Myrtle is dead. It seems it cannot be true as the solemn thought stirs in our hearts the loving memories. She was born February 5th, 1902. Departed this life April 21, 1921. She was 19 years, 2 months, 16 days old. She was the daughter of Mr. John Wesley. At the age of 15 she professed religion and joined the Methodist Church. And in her last days she said she was not afraid to die and was ready. She has crossed over the river to rest beneath the trees. The loving memories will never be forgotten by those who knew her. She will be greatly missed. Weep not, as those who have no hope, for Myrtle is beckoning you to meet her in that land of pure delight. A Friend. Too Bad. Census Shows Kentucky Is Losing Citizens From Sixty-Four Counties. Sixty-four out of 120 counties showed a decrease in population. The average number of inhabitants to the square mil in 1920 is 60.1 as against 57 in 1910 and 53.4 in 1900. Kentucky is essentially a rural state, almost three-fourths of her population living in the country or in villages of less than 2,500 population. The proportion of the population living in places of 2,500 or more increased from 21.8 per cent in 1900 to 24.3 per cent in 1910, and to 26.2 per cent in 1920. There are 755 magisterial districts, and 291 secondary divisions, comprising 63 cities, 327 towns and 1 village. Report Disease. Failure or Refusal to Report Communicable Diseases Will Be Punished. Physicians must report cases of communicable disease by their real name and not as of a less serious or non-communicable disease or they will be cited to appear before the State Board of Health and show cause why their licenses should not be revoked, Dr. A.T. McCormick, State Health Officer, has announced. This rule will apply both where cases of such disease are reported as cases of a non-communicable disease and where the cases are reported as a disease of less malignant type. Dr. McCormack also said, and the State Board of Health will make no distinction between physicians who make such false reports through ignorance and those who deliberately wish to misrepresent facts. This announcement was made by Dr. McCormack in connection with informal notices which the State Board of Health has sent Dr. J.G. Siddens, Bowling Green, and Mr. James C. Morehead, Flat Lick, informing them that they must report cases of smallpox as smallpox. These two physicians, according to the State Health Officer, reported illness that was obviously smallpox as chickenpox, when the State Board called their attention to the fact that their reports were untrue, pleaded that these reports were made honestly and because they believed the illness really was chickenpox. The State Board replied that after investigation, the local health authorities had ruled these cases were smallpox and that in all instances the decision of the local board of health, insofar as reporting and quarantining such cases is concerned, is made final by law.
