Bryant. Dr. Madison A. Bryant, one of the oldest and most highly respected and loved citizens of the county, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Gooch, on Bourne Ave., June 18th. He was 82 years of age and had lived a long life of usefulness. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W.G. Montgomery, pastor of the First Christian Church at Freedom church, where Dr. Bryant had lived most of his life. The largest crowd that ever attended a funeral in that section was present. Dr. Bryant was born and raised in Pulaski County and practiced medicine for 54 years. He was married 55 years ago to Miss Mollie Minton, who preceded him to the grave three years. Six children survive, three boys and three girls. Dr. Bryant became a Christian at the age of 18 and had lived up to the teachings of the church of his choice. He was an excellent citizen and held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge and that order had charge of the funeral service. Boat Turns and Steve Corder Loses Life In Cumberland River Monday Night. Steve Corder of this city, a brakeman on the Southern Railroad, was drowned in the Cumberland River last Monday night as the result of a boat overturning. His body was recovered Wednesday within 8 feet of where the accident happened. Mr. Corder, with other friends, was placing a trot line across the river and in some manner the boat capsized, throwing them all out. Mr. Corder could not swim and after several struggles to get to the bank had to give up and drowned in the sight of his companions. The water is about 22 feet deep where the accident occurred. Mr. Corder leaves a wife and two children. Mose & Jack. There is a continued demand among the Democrats and quite a number of Republicans that Mose Singleton and Jack Edwards make the race for Jailer and Sheriff. These two popular Democrats are giving the matter serious consideration and we believe they will run. If they do - well, our Republican brothers had better watch out. Denton Appointed. Dudley E. Denton was appointed by Judge Tartar administrator of the estate of Annie N. Bilderback. He gave bond in the sum of $4,000. Street Cars Still In The Barn, Council Members Have Taken No Action Yet. The street cars are still in the barn and the people walk or ride the bus. They are clamoring for cars and are willing to pay 10 cents for a ride but some members of the Council are opposed to it. As long as this condition exists there will be no cars. The people who were interested in purchasing the line will not consider buying it unless they can get 10 cents fare. They have figured from every angle and can not see where they can operate the cars on less than a 10 cents fare. This is a matter that means much to Somerset and just why there is so little interest taken in the matter by the business men of the city we can't understand. They all want the cars to run and are in favor of a 10 cents fare, but they don't show much interest otherwise. Quite a number have told us that their business has fallen off 25 per cent since the cars stopped running. They sit in their places of business and say, "yes, it is a shame that cars don't run, they ought to give you a 10 cents fare." But what are they doing to help get the cars started? We feel sure this matter can be worked out if the business men will take some interest in it. Somerset must have street car service. If we don't, who is the blame to be on? Knocked Off Her Porch. Over on Buck Creek the other day, Mrs. Zachariah Padgett was sitting on her front porch enjoying a rest, when a young neighbor who was learning to drive his "Lizzie" happened along. The fellow lost control of the car just before reaching the house and the machine ran upon the porch, knocking Mrs. Padgett to the ground. She received several cuts and bruises, but fortunately, was not dangerously hurt. Interior Journal. Strong Denial. Mr. Darie Young, who conducts a store in West Somerset, writes The Journal to deny that conditions exist in his section of the county as set forth in an article published in the paper and signed by Mrs. Rainwater. Mr. Young says the people of his vicinity are law abiding people and that it is not dangerous to send children to the stores. Mr. Young also says that the officers are doing their duty. Mr. Young thinks the article has done a great injury to the people of his neighborhood. He says his wife is in his store all the time and that it is safe for anyone to come there when they get ready. Speaking Monday. There was considerable oratory at the Court House last Monday afternoon. The speakers were W.B. Morrow, Judge Kennedy, Miss Stella May, and others. The Court House was comfortably filled. Judge Kennedy and Mr. Morrow severely attacked Judge Bethurum's record as Circuit Judge.

The following article is taken form the El Dorado News: Adison Nihart, a well known El Dorado citizen and resident of this vicinity for man years, died at his home on South Main Street Wednesday night, May 11. Mr. Nihart had been seriously ill for a number of weeks past, but he had been much better a short time preceding his death and it was thought that he might continue to improve. However, he took a turn for the worse and continued to decline until the end came as above mentioned. Mr. Nihart was born June 11, 1841, at Logan, Ohio, and died at his home in El Dorado Springs, May 11, 1921, being 79 years and 11 months of age.

He united with the Christian Church in this city some fifteen years ago and had led an active and consistent Christian life. He was a member of the local post of G.A.R. and had been an active member of the Masonic fraternity for a period of more than fifty years and none were more faithful to the teachings and obligations of that order than he. He will be greatly missed by the members of the lodge here. In the death of Mr. Nihart this community has lost one of its very best citizens, one who enjoyed in the highest degree the friendship and high esteem of all who knew him. He was a kind husband, an indulgent father, a good neighbor, and he will long be remembered by those who were associated with him during his life time and who appreciated him for his many excellent traits of character. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Chas. D. Hougham, pastor of the Christian Church, were held at the home last Friday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, after which the remains were taken in charge by the members of the A.F. & A.M. and interred in the El Dorado Springs cemetery according to the impressive rites and ceremonies of that order.

"Conditions at the Kentucky State Reformatory at Frankfort are such I tendered my resignation to take effect at once and am back in Newport to remain for the present," said Joseph Maxey, until Saturday assistant warden of the Kentucky prison. Maxey tendered his resignation to H.V. Bastin, superintendent, to take effect at once. The Newport man said he and the prison head had disagreed over the management of the prison, and finally when conditions become "unbearable," he left office. "Officials at the Frankfort Reformatory treat the prisoners like they are a lot of Sunday School scholars, and as a result discipline is cast to the four winds," said Maxey. "Under the present system at Frankfort the big prison has been turned over to the convicts and they are running affairs. Guards are not permitted to strike prisoners, and as a result are at their mercy," Maxey averred. "What do you know of the pardoning of Frank Blair, alias John doe, who was sent up for holding up Captain James Hendricks of Louisville?" Maxey was asked. "I know plenty, but at this time will not tell what information I possess," answer the official. "I will, however, say this for Governor E.P. Morrow. He was hoodwinked and betrayed by certain persons of the state whom he believed to be his friends. The governor is at nowise to blame. He placed too much confidence in certain alleged friends," Maxey said. Continuing he said, "The pardon of Blair was the result of efforts of a powerful band of politicians and wealthy friends of the convict. That's all I have to say."

After a long wait the people of the Upper Cumberland Valley are about to see the realization of their dreams of adequate navigation the year round. In that section the subject is monopolizing public attention even to the exclusion of politics and the primary campaign. Assurance has been given by Congressman Robsion that a $2,000,000 appropriation will be available to star the work on the project. Under present conditions, boats can ply the river between Burnside and Nashville about half of the year. With the contemplated locking and damming of the Upper Cumberland and continuous navigation, the valley counties will be opened up to commerce and development. The counties particularly affected by the improvement are Monroe, Cumberland, Russell, Clinton, Wayne, Pulaski and Whitley. In some of these, virgin coal and timber lands abound and need only a shipping outlet. For the most part, deprived of railroad facilities, these Cumberland Valley counties are forced to rely on river transportation. The people in the counties are keenly alive to what the completion of the project means to them and have complied with all the preliminaries demanded by the national Government before sanctioning the undertaking. The whole State is interested in the improvement of the Upper Cumberland and its completion will give impetus to the development of Kentucky's natural resources and bring this section into closer touch with the rest of the State.

Sharp Rioting Among The Irish Factions. Street Swept By Gun Fire - Thirteen Fall During Fighting in Belfast In Which Bricks, Bullets and Bombs Are Used. Priest, 80 Years Old, Taken From Home, Slain by Raiders Who Set Fire To Residence. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Belfast - Sharp rioting took place in the York street area here, resulting in the shooting of thirteen persons. Three men were found shot to death in various parts of the city. The disturbance began in the evening between a few people, and rapidly spread until both factions received reinforcements. During the rioting many bricks were thrown and numerous revolver shots were fired. A bomb thrown by one of the rioters blew off a man's hand and seriously injured a woman. The police then fired a volley of shots among the rioters, finally clubbed the mob into submission and dispersed it. The question is being raised in Belfast as to whether killings here during the week will interfere with the visit of King George to participate in the state opening of the Ulster Parliament June 22. The series of tragedies during the weekend eclipsed in savagery all previous shootings. The victims included an aged clergyman and three young business men, the latter having been found dead in the northern section of the city. Very Rev. James Finlay, of Bawnboy, County Cavan, 80 years old and former dean of Leighlin, who had been a clergyman since 1867, on answering a knock at his door was confronted by a number of masked men. Without parley they took him outside, shot him dead, then mutilated his body and burned his residence. The three other men killed were William Kerr, a barber; Malachy Halfpenny, a postman; and Alexander McBride, a saloonkeeper, all residents of Belfast. Several men strangely attired were concerned in the grim episodes. In each instance the assassins arrived in a motor car, took the intended victim from bed and riddled him with bullets outside his house. Then the body was placed in the car and removed to the northern heights of the city, where it was placed in lonely fields. Hospital Notes. Mrs. C.M.
