Solander Taylor of this city and Miss Francis Kinne of Stearns, Ky., were married at Lebanon, Ky., last Sunday by Rev. T.J. Porter, a relative of the groom and pastor of the Baptist Church at that place. The ceremony was performed at the parsonage. Captain and Mrs. Taylor accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. R.E.

At the regular term of Pulaski County Court held last Monday week, Judge R.C. Tartar appointed B.L. Waddle, J.N. Mayfield and Joe Lewis as a committee to revise and reapportion the voting precincts of the county. This is made necessary, Judge Tartar says, because of the heavy vote anticipated this fall in the general election. This will be the first time the women of the state have voted in a general election. The people of the various precincts should be consulted in this matter and the voting places made as convenient as possible to the greatest number. No politics should enter into the duties to be performed by these men. Lots of times precincts are changed to be made stronger Republican or Democratic. To Mason County. Clyde Hubble has received an appointment from Commissioner of Agriculture Hanna as a field agent and will be located in Mason County. Mr. Hubble is a graduate of the Agricultural College, Lexington, and is well qualified for the place. Waddle Wins Chairmanship of Pulaski County Committee at Louisville Meeting. T he contest from Pulaski County over the control of the County Committee was decided in Louisville last Thursday, the 25th, by the Republican State Central Committee. After hearing all the speeches, affidavits, witnesses and etc., the party authorities decided that the Committee headed by Mr. B.L. waddle was the legally elected committee of Pulaski County and entitled to all rights and benefits thereof. There was much oratory in evidence, much bitterness displayed between the contestants and the charge and counter charge of steam roller methods. It is said that considerable outside influence was brought to bear on members of the committee. The case for Mr. Waddle and his committee was presented by W. Boyd Morrow and H.C. Kennedy. Judge Denton represented Mr. J.R. Cook, who was opposing Mr. Waddle for the honor of presiding over the Executive Committee of Pulaski County for the next four years. The whole question seemed to be whether or not the mass convention held in Somerset on February 28th was legally called. Mr. Waddle and his friends claimed that it was not legally called and proceeded t hold mass conventions in all precincts of the county on March 20th. A number of the state Committee wanted to let the matter be fought out again with precinct conventions but those opposing this were in the majority. Mr. Waddle will now preside over his County Committee and becomes the A.T. Hert of Pulaski County. He is the brother in law of Governor Morrow. It is said by those suffered defeat that the contest was settled before they arrived and they were not given a fair hearing by the Committee. They claim the steam roller was working fine. Anyhow, we Democrats are enjoying the fuss and will watch further developments with interest - go to it gentlemen. Brother Dies. Mr. Thomas M. Thatcher received word Tuesday that his brother, Captain I.B. Thatcher, of Berkley, California, died that day. He was 85 years of age and had been in bad health for some time. Mr. Thatcher was just fixing to make a trip to California to visit his brother. He had intended leaving the first of July. Captain Thatcher was an officer in the Union Army and made a visit here about six years ago when en route to the reunion. He will be pleasantly remembered by many of our people. While his death was not unexpected by Mr. Thatcher he did not realize the end was so near. Dr. Scott Accepts Call To Ashland. Dr. D.W. Scott, pastor of the First Christian Church has accepted a call from the Christian Church at Ashland, Ky., and will begin his pastorate there October 1st.

McQueary with her three children are in Burnside visiting. Mr. McQueary alleges that the children were kidnapped from his home in Washington about three weeks ago and that he has been unable to find any trace of them. He has had police searching all over the country. Several efforts have been made by newspapers and police to find out if Mrs. Kelley had arrived in Burnside. The case has attracted a good deal of attention because of the sudden disappearance of the children in Washington where they had been living with their father. Mrs. Kelley, it is said, states that she will not give the children up and will take them back to California with her. Under the court order, it is said, she is entitled to the custody of the children but Mr. McQueary can see them once a year. Mrs. Kelley will return to California within a few days. She left Burnside Tuesday afternoon with the three children for a visit to Ludlow. At Parker's Mill. The Danville Messenger under a Somerset date line of a recent issue says: Gov. Edwin P. Morrow, Mrs. Morrow, Edwina and Charley Bob will return to Pulaski for their vacation about the second week in July. The Governor has engaged lodging with the Parker Sisters at Parkers Mill, a few miles to the Southeast of Somerset. Parkers Mill has no equal as a place for both mind and body. Having been a favored spot for the Morrow family for generations, no one will be surprised that Gov. Morrow comes back for his vacation, preferring it to the many more fashionable and pretentious summering places where he and his family would have been welcomed. The owners of the place issue no advertisements and receive only a few guests at one time, who are mostly old friends of the family, as are the Morrows. A clear, cool stream affords a small clear lake for boating, fishing and bathing; a small cataract at the old dam by a rustic bridge; a real old water mill reflected in the stream farther on, all shut away from the outside by great hills and deep, cool woodland, making the place, indeed, one to attract the many. Pitman Bridge. The people are patiently waiting for the completion of the Pitman Creek Bridge so they can put it to use. For three years now it has been of no use whatever to the county. What can be the matter? There is an order on the books of the Fiscal Court authorizing the building of an approach. Suffrage Proposal Killed.
