Street Cars Out Of Commission Half Of The Week. People Inconvenienced. It is the same old story over and over again. The street cars were out of commission most all the week and the people either forced to walk or pay taxi fare. No sooner than they were put into service last week than they were out of commission again. Only a few trips were made and they were pulled inside the car barn. The management says that the cars are in such condition that they will give little service in the future. Just what may be expected is not known. There is now a suit in the Circuit Court filed this week, which seeks to compel the Utilities Company to make certain improvements in the utilities. Until it is decided Somerset may be without adequate service. Left For Dead On Battle Field, Two Old Comrades of Civil War Meet In Somerset. Fifty-nine years ago on the first day of May, the battle of Fort Gibson, Miss., was fought. In that battle were two Pulaski County boys who were pals and who belonged to Company G., 19th Kentucky Infantry. The battle was a fierce one and during the shelling one of these boys had his arm shot off. His comrade gently lifted him up and administered first aid and left him on the field to die. Nearly 59 years to the day these two boys met in Somerset for the first time since that day they parted on the battle field. Of course they would not have known each other, but after the wounded arm was exhibited and the incident recalled the whole thing was clear and "Uncle" Dan Smiley said: "You are Eli Baker, of Company G, 19th Kentucky Infantry, and I left you for dead on the battle field at Fort Gibson, Miss., just 59 years ago." Well, it was a happy meeting and hours were spent talking over the old army days and the experiences of the war, Mr. Baker, who is now 82 years of age, moved to Mississippi and has spent the greater part of his life there. "Uncle" Dan has been living in Somerset. Mr. Baker has promised Uncle Dan another visit in about two weeks and they will talk some more of the old days. Fiscal Court Is In Session Now. More Road Work Is Planned For The Summer. The Fiscal Court is in session and making orders for more road work. They will adjourn today after three days session. The court is encouraging road building by offering to match dollar for dollar with citizens of the county. In some cases even more is given. At the session Tuesday it was ordered that the bridge over Buck Creek, near Short Creek, just east of Shopville, be raised and reconstructed when the Kentucky Coal and Electro Chemical Co., builds the pike to that place. It was also ordered that the County Judge ask for bids for placing stone on one mile of the lower Coal Bank Road east of Pitman Creek near Cabin Hollow Church. The court will double the amount raised by citizens in the vicinity of Science Hill and on the Science Hill and Union Church Road for the purpose of improving said Union Church Road. It was ordered that the county double the amount raised by citizens on the Antioch Road from City of Burnside going toward Antioch Church. The court agreed to place stone and pay for labor on Ping Mill Road from Sublimity Road to Colo, if the citizens would grade the road. The same proposition was made to the citizens living on Dutton Mill and Bethlehem Road, commencing at Upper Clifty near Milliard Ashley's. Infant Dies. The infant of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Jones died Monday night and was buried Tuesday afternoon in the City cemetery. The parents have the sympathy of many friends in the loss of their first child. Rew Praised. The Southern Railway News Bulletin has the following article about Mr. W.W. Rew, agent at Burnside, Ky.: The close attention given shipments of live stock by Agent W.W. Rew and his force at Burnside, Ky., is commended by James A. Cross and M.C. Sorrell, live stock shippers of Harrodsburg, Ky., in a letter addressed to Superintendent J.G. Clements. "Our cars," declared Messrs Cross and Sorrell, "are carefully examined, well bedded and the best partitions built of any station at which we have shipped. We think it nothing but right that you should know of the attention to business which your employees at that point are displaying." Mr. Rew is one of the oldest agents of the C.N.O. & T.P., having been in service twenty years, and at all times has had the interest of the company at heart. Prevents Accident. The Southern Railway News Bulletin says that M.B. Dungan, of Somerset, Ky., discovered a brake beam down under third No. 56 as the train passed U.S. Junction and notified the conductor and probably averted a serious accident. He was complimented by Supt. Clements. Abbott. Rev. J.S. Abbott bade farewell to sorrow and the soul took its homeward flight Monday at 12 o'clock, while his many friends were hovering his bedside he silently closed his eyes in sleep to wake with Jesus. He was among Pulaski's best ministers and was always ready to aid in anything for the good. He had served as pastor of New Bethel Baptist church for the past eight years. Never will a man be so greatly missed. He has left our church as a flock of sheep without a shepherd. He was fifty-three years and four months old; was the father of thirteen children, of who only one is dead; was a king and loving father and husband. He leaves a wife and five children at home to live with the help of God. His spirit is beckoning for us to come and follow him and enter home. A sister in Christ. Alexander. The death of Harvey Alexander, son of A.F. Alexander, which occurred on Friday, April 29th, at Middlesboro, Ky., was quite a shock to his many friends, for it touched every heart with sadness, unspeakable and deep. Harvey was one of those rare spirits of whom none who knew him spoke aught but good, and to all comes the deep sense of a personal loss, and a personal sorrow, tempered only by the knowledge of what death means to the beautiful spirit. Harvey was a good boy, having been reared amid religious influence. He enriched life by his living, and heaven by his going. His death was caused by the wreck of a passenger train and the truck which he was in. Funeral services were held at Eden Church Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Walter Meece. The Pallbearers were Sam Vaught, Sam Sowder, Bill McKenzie, Frank Crawford, Bob Jenkins, Bowman Newby, Roscoe Smith. They were numbered among his most intimate friends. Besides the host of friends and relatives left to mourn for their loved one, he leaves a father, three sisters and three brothers. The bereaved ones have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. May the Father comfort them. Maye McKenzie. Zachery - Tuthill. News was received of the marriage of Miss Nellie Zachery of this city, to Mr. S.D. Tuthill of Houston, Texas, the wedding having taken place in that city last Thursday. The bride was accompanied to Houston by the mother of the groom whom she had been visiting in Jeffersonville, Ind. Mrs. Tuthill is the attractive daughter of Mrs. Fannie Orwin of Somerset. She met Mr. Tuthill in this city where he made his headquarters for some time. He is a traveling salesman. Wins Debate. Somerset carried off the honors in the debate at Nicholasville last Thursday night. The High School was represented by Chester Silvers, senior; Geo. Bruce Miller, freshman, and Crescent Gragg, junior. The subject was: "Resolved, that the several states and Congress should establish courts with power of compulsory arbitration of disputes between employer and employee of public utilities." Somerset represented the affirmative and was given the unanimous decision of all three judges. Quite an honor for the young men and the school. Busy Session Of The City Council on Last Monday Night.

In a communication Mayor Cruse called attention of Police Department to violations of traffic ordinance by automobilists and to the hitching of animals on thoroughfares, instructing that the laws be enforced against violators. Communication was read from Kentucky Actuarial Bureau to effect that an engineer would be sent when new fire truck arrived in order that data could be obtained for re-rating fire insurance. Copy of communication to Kentucky Utilities Company ordering and directing the placing of four-inch water mains on Cotter, Central, Sagasser and Jasper streets were presented and made of record. It was recommended that Park Ave. be improved by placing crushed stone thereon for an approximate distance of 900 feet at estimated cost of $350.00, and ordered that Mayor Cruse be authorized to repair College St. between Oak St. and end of car line according to grade to be established by City Engineer, omitting that portion of street which Kentucky Utilities Company are to maintain in accordance with franchise and which they have failed and refused to do. As Mr. Herrington had requested, a conference between city officials and members of Council, Mayor Cruse was authorized to advise him that the Council was agreeable to conference at any time. An ordinance proposing to surface additional streets, South Main, commencing at and including the Public Square, to concrete bridge at foot of Wait's Hill, E. Mt. Vernon St., from Square to College and Griffin, with tarvia, was given first reading and held until succeeding session for final action, City Clerk being instructed to notify firms who had been considering paving with brick that no bids would be accepted on same. The Southern Oil & Tar Company presented bid for surfacing with tarvia at 22 centers per square yard and the bid was accepted and Mayor Cruse authorized to enter into contract for this work the same to commence at earliest possible period. It was ordered that an additional street light be installed on Knosp St., also that a small amount of grading be done thereon. Council then adjourned until next regular session, which will be May 23, 1921. "Down On The Farm" I am a soldier at Camp Pike, Arkansas, in the best old regiment in the world. At present, I am visiting at Uncle "Bill's" down here on the farm, and I am writing in hopes that perhaps someone of the old generation will see this and I am sure if they do that it will bring back old memories of their childhood days there in the hills of Old Kentucky. W.A. Smith, or Uncle Bill, as he is known, is like all of the Smiths. He is full of fun and never worries about anything. Although he had not been in Kentucky for twenty long years, he reads The Somerset Journal with surprising interest, and he often speaks of the times he had there as a boy. I am only a young man, but I imagine that the greatest pleasure of his old age is the reflection of the past, and that boyhood days are best. I had not seen Uncle Bill for fifteen years. I could just remember him as being a tall man, and the noise he could make calling across those hills, and the echoes would ring for miles. I want some of our relation there to wake up and write to Uncle Bill. This is a rice and cotton country and cotton and rice are selling here at a very low price. This is a very cold and rainy spring, the farmers are all late with their work, but still living in hopes of a good season and better prices. I suppose most of you people think of Arkansas as a mountainous country, but this is the most level country I have ever seen partly timber and partly prairie, low and lots of frogs. It is sometimes called the Frog Pond. I am having a wonderful time here, just taking a rest. We will go fishing tomorrow and when I go back to camp I know I will be dissatisfied. With love and best wishes and fond memories of Old Kentucky, and everybody. Pvt. Geo. D. Smith, Co. A. 7th Inf., Camp Pike, Arkansas, formerly of Pulaski County. >From Subscriber, Plainville, Ind. Somerset Journal, Somerset, Ky. Dear Friends: I thought I would drop a few lines to The Journal to let my friends know that I still think of them often and I many times wish I was back in old Somerset. We sure do enjoy The Journal. We can't hardly wait for it to come. It arrives here about 11 o'clock and all the work is stopped until the paper is read and we all try to see who can get it first. I am sending you another year's subscription. We have been in Indiana for one year and seven months and have been receiving the paper every week. We just couldn't do without it. I like it out here fine but it is not like old Pulaski. We raise lots of wheat and corn out here. Wheat is almost waist high. I am glad to see old Pulaski coming to the front. It sure makes my heart beat with joy. I would like to see all my old friends back there. May God bless you till we meet again. Your Friend, Mrs. Henry Garner. Boy Injured. The following is copied form the Journal and Tribune, Knoxville, Tenn.: "The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. H. Snelling regret to hear of the accident that happened to their son, Warren. While playing with some playmates on last Sunday afternoon the grapevine swing on which Warren was swinging broke, throwing him quite a distance, resulting in a fracture of the skull. Warren was taken to the Riverside hospital in Knoxville where an x-ray was made and an operation was performed. At last reports Warren was resting very comfortably although he will be confined to the hospital for several days." Mr. and Mrs. Snelling live at Pruden, Tenn., and were formerly residents of Somerset, where they have a host of friends who will also regret to learn of the accident to their son. Back From Texas. Mr. Neeley Scott is just back from the Breckinridge, Texas, oil field where he went to see the well of the Kentucky Oil Company in which he is interested. Mr. Scott says that the well caused a great deal of excitement in the field and that it is considered the best well drilled in that part of Texas. He says the first eight days made $100,000 for the company. The tools are still in the well and it is expected when they are removed the flow will increase. Will Attend. Mr. J.M. Richardson, Past Exalted Ruler of Somerset Lodge 1021 B.P.O.E., and delegate to the Grand Lodge meeting in Los Angeles, California, has received some itinerary for the Kentucky Special which will leave Louisville on June 29th.

Democrats Elect Precinct Committeemen and "Committeewomen" Last Saturday. The Democrats of Pulaski County met in the various precincts of the county last Saturday and elected one woman and one man to serve as a member of the County Executive Committee for the next four years. From reports coming in there was not a great deal of interest taken in the election and in some precincts no election was held. There was no fight over control of the committee and for that reason little interest was manifested. In Somerset, the following men and women were elected: Precinct No. 1, J.E. Claunch and Mrs. L.H. Hussing; No. 2, Denny Shadoan and Mrs. L.B. Lowenthal; No. 3, Clifford Day and Mrs. R.E. Higgins; No. 4, Fred Starkey and Mrs. James W. Davis; No. 5, J.L. McEwin and Mrs. Geo.

Wesley Colyer and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Allen, Mr. and Mrs. R.S. Kenney and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. H.M. Warren, Mr. and Mrs. Will Tomlinson, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Allen, Mr. and Mrs. C.M.

A message was received here this week telling of a serious accident to Charles Edwin, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. B. Hansford, of West Milton, Ohio. The young fellow was playing and fell in a tub of boiling water. His condition is quite serious. Mrs. Hansford is a sister of R.M. Feese, editor of The Commonwealth. M'Dowell Is Defeated For Delegate To The National Convention Of M.W.A. C.B. McDowell, of Somerset, Dumont Stigall of Frazier, and T.L. Metcalf of Mill Springs, attended the State Convention of the Modern Woodmen of America, which met in Louisville last week. All report a fine trip. McDowell was a candidate for delegate to the National Convention which meets in St. Louis in June. Mr. Metcalf led the fight before the Convention for McDowell, which was a spirited one from beginning to end. The 11th district voted solid for McDowell, and the 8th voted solidly against him. The 8th district having the largest number of votes, McDowell was defeated by D.T. Brunnette of Harrodsburg, Ky. Mr. Bray of Adair County was defeated for alternate by Geo. O. Parks of Richmond, another 8th district man. Everything in sight was gobbled up by the 8th district. This is not the first time the 8th has run rough shod over the 11th. Several 11th district delegates came home thoroughly disgusted at the treatment received from the hands of the 8th, and will resent in most scathing terms another effort to throw the 11th with the 8th. While the 11th did not receive all they would like to have had, they say it was one of the greatest conventions ever held in the state, and their faith in Woodcraft was increased one hundred per cent. Somerset was a strong contestant for the next State Convention, which went to Paris. Twenty-six thousand people are at the point of starvation in the coal fields of Alabama. High School Notes.
