Extracts of The Bullitt Pioneer, 1910 -1912

PREFACE

In March 2000, I began a project to extract an index of names published in the turn of the centuryeditions of the Bullitt Pioneer Newspaper. Microfilm of these early newspapers was available at theRidgeway Memorial Library in Shepherdsville. I first envisioned strictly an index of names only. After working through several editions I realized that the style and content were unique and I startedover with the intent of using a line or two from the articles. Later, wanting to include even more ofthe content I started the project a third time including significant articles. Hundreds or thousands ofhours later, I have this finished product.

I have tried to include every piece of information that would be of interest to a genealogist or localhistorian, using "article", "etc" or "highlights only" for items not typed in its entirety, especially inwedding descriptions or flowery obituaries. Omitted are most state-wide or national political items.

The images on the microfilm range from fair to completely unreadable. Many were faded, torn,wrinkled and stained. I can't help but wonder how many went through our famous Shepherdsvillefloods. The issues are scattered. Several years had only a few issues available.

The spellings of names often varied with the author. I have no idea as to the correct spelling ofmany of the names. I typed them as they were printed.

The quality of the images caused many questions. A smudge, wrinkle or hole created gaps. Ink-filled letter let to difficulty with e-a-o-c, u-n, i-l-t, R-B-H. Many looked so much alike. You manywant to look closer at names with these letters. Although diligent in the preparation and editing ofthis project, there may be many instances of error. If you have questions, the microfilm is availableat the library.

Dates are entered in order as they appear on the microfilm. Some issues are out of order. I haveincluded date published as well as the original page number with the articles to make it easier to findif you wish to look at the microfilm.

I have enjoyed reading and typing the newspaper into the database. My hope is that someone,somewhere will enjoy the results of my many late night sessions at the computer.

School for the benefit of the common

school graduates. This county is so

small, and these graduates so few in

number, that it would be impossible

to establish a separate school for this

purpose. So, the County Board of

the trustees of the Shepherdsville

Graded School to furnish the High

School Course to these graduates.

Under the terms of the contract, the

county will pay forty dollars for each

pupil entering in September and

in January. This offer of free tuition

will apply only to those pupils

between the ages of six and twenty,

who hold common school diplomas,

***Narrow Escape

Considerable excitement was caused

late yesterday afternoon, by a

runaway on Railroad street. Miss

Blanche Jeffries, Miss Nannie Ree

Thompson and a little baby of

Charley Jenkins were driving along in

front of Mr. Patterson's, when the

horse became frightened by a dog

which ran at him. He immediatly

became unmanagable and dashed

down the street, overturning the

buggy and th rowing out the

occupants.

Fortunately, he ran down the unpaved

street between the railroad and the

Smith Hotel, where the soft mud

broke the force of the fall, and

doubtless, prevented more serious

injuries. Beyond a regular mud bath,

Miss Blanche and the baby escaped

unharmed. Miss Thompson was not

quite so lucky. She received a slight

scalp wound, and her left elbow was

d is loca te d . S h e w a s t a k en

immediatly to Dr. Ridgway's office

and the injuries attended to.

Neither the horse nor the buggy was

much hurt.

Centennial year of Little Flock

Ba pt i s t Church w as f i tt i n g ly

celebrated.

Last Saturday was an ideal day and

several hundred people, old and

young, assembled in the quaint old

church to enjoy the exe rcises

arranged for the celebration of the

one hundredth anniversary of Little

Flock. First in order after divine

service, conducted by that grand old

soldier of the cross, Rev. W. E.

Powers, came the reading of the

history of the church.

In 1810, the church was admitted to

Long Run Association. It had been

previously organized with twenty-two

communicants, presumably by Rev.

Moses Pierson, then pastor of Cox's

Creek church in Nelson County. W e

have not the names of the first

members, but the first record reads:

"Met on Saturday before the 4th

Lords day in August, 1810 and after

worship proceeded to business."

They put the Lord first. Then they

received seven members by letter and

experience. The first church house

was a stone building, one and one-

half miles east of the present edifice,

and near the junction of Penn Run

and Cedar Creek. Here Moses

Pierson labored for perhaps fourteen

years, and many, both black and

white, were added to the church. For

in the Church of Christ, there was

neither bond nor free and the negroes

enjoyed all the privileges of church

members except voting, and we often

see master or mistress and slave

received together into the church.

But we see them displaying their

native weaknesses and subject to

discipline many times. In 1813, Bro.

Bob secluded for stealing. 1814, Bro.

Charles disciplined for riding a horse

without permission, and another

excluded for behaving disorderly at a

corn shucking, another for stealing a

penknife, a sister secluded for

stealing soap and flax, a sister

excluded for taking a ribbon from

Peter Smith's store and whipt by law

another for insolence to his master.

And today, we see members stealing

reputat ions and no discipl in e

administered. But the white members

w e r e a ls o r eq u i re d t o w a lk

circumspectly, and a white sister was

excluded for telling falsities, another

for dancing, and a brother for

speaking disrespectfully of a sister

and her family. Many brethren for

induging too freely in spirituous

liquor.

Among the early members were

ancestors of our most prominent

families. Samuel Simmons, Abraham

Fields, Thos. Walls, Jas. West, Thos.

Sanders, John Beckwith, E lizabeth

Rogers. Later, John Holsclaw, Mrs.

C. E. Bell, Dr. Ireland. Of a long list

baptized in 1840, but one lives today,

Mrs. Margaret Bates, nee Wells, who

is now 87 years of age and who

attended the centenary, the object of

much attention.

After the removal of Rev. Pierson in

1825 to Indiana , Rev. Robt.

Gailbreath became pastor and served

some 25 years. In 1848, Dr. J. A.

Ireland was ordained and later served

as pastor several years. Rev. R. A.

Beauchamp served as pastor several

years in the 50 's, then Rev. G. W .

Robinson and J. B. English. During

which time the church prospered and

we find the brethren attending to the

Lord's business in the church. There

is a break in the record from 1837 to

1839, during which time the brick

church must have been built, as there

is no record of it later, but in 1844,

the legislatrue passed an enabling act

authorizing and consenting to the

conveyance of the stone church to

Benj. Summers in consideration of a

tract of one and one-half acres, on

which the present church stands.

The congregation assembled last

Saturday no doubt represented quite a

contrast to the one first gathered in

1810, but they listened to the same

gospel preached. Brother W . B.

Powers presided. W . J . Bell, in a

happy way delivered a cordial

welcome, the response being by Bro.

Powers. Dr. Holslaw read the

history. A poem was read by Mrs.

Holsclaw. Dr. W . J. Holtzclaw

preached a powerful sermon the "The


Page 70

T h r e e C a r d i n a l E l e m en t s in

Christianity", followed b y M r.

Moody in a impressive talk on "W hy

I am a Baptist". The we adjourned

for dinner, and the bountifully spead

table was a goodly sight, surely no

one went away hungry. In the

afternoon, Dr. J . W. Porter delighted

a large congregation with a masterly

address on "the Debt the World owes

to Baptists." All who were Baptist

felt proud of the fact. Saturday

evening, Rev. Vanarsdale, a former

pastor, preached.

Sunday morning, we were delighted

with a sermon by Rev. W. E. Powers

on "Be Ye Steadfast". It was as the

parting words of one on the

borderland of eternity and had effect

as such. Then the Sunbeams

rendered a program quite pleasingly

and an offering was made for the

band. In the afternoon, the WMU of

Little Flock held a meeting which

was addressed by Mrs. Bell Moorman

and Miss Leachman, city missionary

of Louisville. A very pleasing

feature of the Sunday Service was the

s ing ing of the q uartet f ro m

Shepherdsvil le, Me ssrs Lindsay

Ridgway, Hon. Robert Zimmerman,

Mrs. Chas. Bridwell, Mrs. Frank Bell

and in the afternoon, they sang again

with Joe Brooks taking the place of

Mr. Zimmerman. Mrs. W. J.

Holtzclaw also sang beautifully, "I

Want to Go There". It was a great

occasion, the memory of which will

reach far into the new century. Mrs.

J. R. Holsclaw.

and the teachers of the county on the

success of her first institute. These

institutes never accomplish all the

good possible, for there are always a

few rattle-brained teachers (?) who

either think they already know it all,

or whose mental capacity is so

limited they are unable to acquire any

f u r th e r k n o w l e d g e , e v e n b y

absorption. Those teachers who did

take an intelligent part in the

exercises certainly were benefitted,

and probably more so from the fact

that they were not intimidated nor

overawed by the presence of a

strange instructor, who is supposed to

know it all. Prof. Hancock and Prof.

Campbell discharged the duties of

their positio n with cre dit to

themselves and satisfaction of the

teachers. Miss Edith Hancock, Dr.

Boggess and Prof. Cherry thanked.

Carnegie Hero Funk Commission

awarded silver medal and $1000 to I.

Wood Miller for saving a life.

Pittsburg, Nov. 1. - The Carnegie

hero fund commission has announced

the recognition of fifty-eight more

heroes over territory extending from

Massachusetts to Southern California.

As always, in comparisons of deeds

of valor, Kentucky is at the front or

thereabouts. The hero commission

finds no more thrilling deed then that

of I. Wood Miller, a liverman of

Waterford, KY, who on February 23,

1909, after nightfall, saved John H.

Eggan from drowning in the waters of

Brashear's Creek at Taylorsville. To

the extent of a full thousand words,

the commission formed by Andrew

Carnegie to hunt life savers, talks of

the heroism of Miller.

The commission goes on to tell how

Eggan, who was one of the mounted

rescuers in this time of flood, was

swept from his horse and clung to a

lamppost until cramp overtook him,

how he then shinned up the post out

of the reach of the water, still crying

for help.

Miller had made an attempt to reach

him with his horse, but finding that

his horse could not stand against the

current, he abandoned the animal and

struck alone toward Eggan on the

lamppost. He was compelled to rest

in a tree on the way, but he finally got

within speaking distance of Eggan

and encouraged him not to give up.

No one would come to Miller's help

with a rope for Eggan, and finally

after many tries, Miller succeeded in

getting a piece of fence lodged

against the post which held Eggans,

and he was finally rescued. It took

Miller an hour and a quarter to effect

the rescue.

The hero commission directs that a

silver medal be given I. Wood Miller

and that $,1000 be given him to be

applied toward the purchase of a farm

or in any other manner that he may

desire, providing that it meets with

the approval of the executive

committee.

Of the rescues from death or the

attempts, seven were from railroad

trains or street cars, nineteen from

drowning, one from a runaway horse,

eight from su ffocation in gas

producers or wells, twenty from death

in mine d isasters, two from fire and

one from shooting.

***Mrs. Ellen Greenwell.


Page 93

Mrs. Ellen Greenwell, who departed

this life on October 7 , 1910, was born

on January 7, 1832, making her 78

years and nine months old at her

death, which occurred within a few

miles of her birth place, and from

which she never lived over five miles.

Her long and useful life was spent in

this one community. She has as her

descendants and family relations two

brothers, Capt. J. Lan Lee of

Columbus, KY, and the Honorable

Wm. Jeff Lee, of Bullitt County, KY;

two daughters, M rs William Hardy of

Pitts Point, KY and Mrs. S. M.

Miller, of Missouri, and three sons, of

whom two live here in Kentucky and

one in Missiouri. Her children,

g r a n d c h i l d r e n a n d g r e a t

grandchildren made her the head of

four generations.

Her maiden name was Lee, a

daughter of Robert M. Lee, deceased,

of this county, and all direct

descendants from the Virginia family

of Lees. She began her early

childhood when Kentucky was a

border and frontier state. The

Indian's wild whoop had scarcely

died away when she was born, and

this great Nation of our was then

nearly all east of the Alleghany

Mountains. No ocean steamers, no

railroads, no telegraph lines, no

sewing machines, no telephones, no

phonogranphs, no automobiles, no

birdman flying through the air; yes,

all these wonderful and useful

discoveries and inventions, and a

thousand others, were not ye t

dreamed of.

In 1847, she was married to Robert

Greenwell, no less a gentleman than

she was a lady, and it is very natural

to believe that she made a good and

faithful wife and a noble mother. Her

natural good sense, her uniformly

generous and kind nature caused her

to be loved and esteemed by all with

whom she came in contact.

She became a member of the

Cumberland Presbyterian Church

over 40 years ago and lived and died

a consistant christian.

She was the mother of a large,

harmonious and loving family. Not a

single member of her family even

gave their parents any cause for

trouble or grief. She was always

uniformly kind and gentle, but was

very firm in her convictions. She was

charitable and loved her neighbors,

friends and the poor. The writer,

when a small orphan boy, found in

aunt Ellen Greenwell, a home and a

mother, and much of his life has been

shaped by the better traits of her life.

It can be said of her, truthfully, that

her good deeds in life will live after

her. Signed, H. J. G.

Wm. Troutwine Killed by George

Moore in a dispute over cattle.

Wednesday afternoon, George Moore

shot Wm. Troutwine with a single

a few hours thereafter. Moore was at

once arrested and lodged in ja il.

Troutwine, in company of Lewis

Clayton (colored) had gone to

Moore's place to get a cow he had on

pasture there. After getting the cow,

they met Moore with a wagon load of

corn. Their talk soon became angry,

hard words were passed, and reaching

down in his wagon, Moore got a shot

gun and fired. The load of shot

struck Troutwine at the top of the

right leg, almost completely severing

the femoral artery. Troutwine walked

a few steps and sat down while

Clayton ran across the field to the

home of Jas. Miller Jr, who

telephoned Dr. Bates. As soon as

possible, the wounded man was

removed to M r. Miller's, and

everything possible done, but without

avail. The unfortunate man received

his death wound within a few steps of

where he had been born and reared.

A Christmas Greeting, poem by Mrs.

Ida B. Holsclaw.

Capt. James W . Ridgway is very ill at

the home of his son Dr. S. H.

Ridgway and his condition is very

critical. His health has been bad all

winter, and he had a hard fall a little

over a week ago, from which he

seemed to recover, but his feebleness

and great age doubtless accentuated

the after effects of the shock to his

nervous system. His children were

notified at once, and have all been

here.

While on his way to the depot,

Monday morning, Harris Brooks

badly hurt by mail sack being thrown

from train. His injuries were tended

by Dr. Bates and are not thought to be

serious.

Mrs. Eliza Moore was born July 22,

1827, died Dec. 18, 1910. She was

the daughter of Richard and Rebecca

Skinner, who were among the first

settlers of Bullitt County. She was

married to Levi Moore in January

1850. To this union were born two

***Capt. J. W. Ridgway

Captain J. W. Ridgway, one of

Bullitt County's best known and best

loved citizens died at the home of

his son, Dr. S. H . Ridgway last

Friday evening, after an illness of

eight weeks. Death was due to the

hardening of the blood vessels and

failing of bodily strength, incident to

old age. He was almost eighty-four

years old and most of his life had

been spent in Bullitt County.

Captain Ridgway was a gentleman

of the old school. He held in

contempt all that was little and

questionable. For sixty years, he

had been a member of the M asonic

Lodge and about that long, a

member of the Methodist Church.

His daily walk was according to the

teachings of those institutions and

the commands of God.

His remains were buried in the

family cemetery near Cupio the

services conducted by the M asonic

lodge.

He is survived by one daughter,

Mrs. Nick Lewis of West Point and

five sons , Ben Ridgway o f

Cloverport, and Robert, Dr. S. H.

and Lindsay Ridgway of this county,

and Tom Ridgway of Louisville, and

one sister, Mrs. James Augustus of

South Park.

Captain Ridgway was one of our

best loved and most highly honored

citizens. His sterling qualities and

cheerful nature endeared him to all,

young and old alike.

many months, of great pain and

suffering, which he bore with

made so happy by his cheerful

grandson and wife, who watched the

dark shadows of the death angel

hover over the dear old man and

carry him from earth to Heaven.

Before departing this life, he took

the kind and loving hand of Mrs.

Hall and said, " Child, I am not

afraid to go, or to leave this old

world, no! no! but, I do want so bad

to stay with you all a little while to

enjoy life a little". He was the father

of five children, one of whom had

***Virginia Barbour

That "death loves a shining mark"

was never more truly exemplified

than when the final summons came

that called from time to eternity

Miss Virginia Barbour, daughter of

Mr. & Mrs. John R. T. Barbour at

her home in Hubers Station Sunday

night. She was a lovely girl, just

budding into womanhood, having

just graduated from the Louisville

High School.

The death of Miss Barbour came

without warning. On the preceding

Monday night, she participated in

the commencement exercises of her

class and Saturday had a number of

her classmates as her guests at her

home in the country. She seemed in

perfect heath, but that night became

suddenly ill, soon lapsed into

unconsciousness and the efforts of

physicians to revive her were in

vain. She was suffering from

uraemic poisoning and the disease

made such rapid progress that she

passed away as stated.

The funeral was from the Chapel of

St. Mary Magdalene's Church at

Brook and C ollege Streets in

Louisville and buried in St. Louis

Cemetery near that city. Pallbearers

were: Kendrick Lewis, Thos.

Coleman, Edward C. Humphrey,

Cal Drake, Allen R. Whit?? and

Abram Brooks. M iss Barbour's

death has cast a gloom over this

whole community, where she was so

well known and universally loved.

Since the sad death of Miss Ruth

Brooks in Rome several years ago,

no like event has caused such

general regret in this county.

***Mrs. Elizabeth Deacon

Mrs. Elizabeth Deacon, age 51, nee

Elizabeth Greenwell, daughter of

Wm. Greenwell, died at her home

June 19, after a lingering illness.

She was born July 13, 1860.

Member of the Lutheran Church.

Survived by a husband, two

daughters and one son, Dulcie,

Willie and M iami, respectively.

Funeral services conducted by Rev.

C. E. Buschman of Louisville and

Rev. W. R. Moody of High Grove.

Buried at Cedar Grove. Pallbearers:

Lee Barger, Henry Jones, Ade

Harris, Kirby Jones, James Rouse

and Charles Bridwell.

The new street crossings were put

down, at considerable expense, for

the benefit of citizens and visitors

who have frequently to cross the

streets, and not to hitch horses and

buggies on. People driving into

town would do well to bear this in

mind and hitch so that their vehicles

will not obstruct the crossings,

especially in muddy weather. By

doing so, they can save a great deal

of "unnecessary cussing" that a

Wise Providence may see fit to

charge to their account instead of the

"cussers".

***Mrs. Hardin Holsclaw

Mrs. W. H. Holsclaw, the venerable

widow of the late Hardin Holsclaw,

so well known in this county, died at

the residence of her daughter, Mrs.

A. E. Funk, at Brooks Station, last

Monday. Her death was the result

of infirmities of age, she being about

88 years old. Her husband, Uncle

Hardin Holsc law, as he was

generally known died about ten

years ago and since his death, she

has made her home with her

daughter, Mrs. Funk, who with her

children, had ministered tenderly to

her wants and made her declining

years pleasant and comfortable.

She is survived by three sons,

Messrs Lawrence, Clarence, and

Burns Holsclaw, prominent farmers

and fruit growers of this county and

two daughters, Mrs. Dupree, of

Louisville, and Mrs. Funk of this

county. Also a large number of

grand and great grand children.

The funeral services, conducted by

Rev. Peak, of the Methodist Church,

of which she had long been a

member, were held at the residence

Thursday, and the remains were laid

to rest in the cemetery at Hebron.

Highlights only.

Some fifty of Bullitt County's best

citizens sent a petition to Judge

Daniel, asking that they be given a

chance to improve their school

conditions by voting a graded school

at Belmont. Judge Daniel appointed

Chester Hill and H. J. M assey to

conduct an election, action passed

36 to 8. Trustees elected: J. W .

Gaban, E. L.Boyd, J. R. Hill, Ike

Mudd and Dr. Murray. With this

splendid board to direct, and being

located in the midst of a very

progressive section of our county,

and by having the best roads in

Bullitt County, we feel sure that

these good people have made no

mistake and trust that their example

may be followed by other sections

of our County and State.

***Educational News

Under auspices of the Bullitt County

School Improvement League, J. R.

Thompson, Secy.; Chas. Bridwell,

Pres. A permanent County School

Improvement League was started at

our last teachers' meeting. The

purpose to effect a closer union of the

school interests of this county,

looking forward to a betterment of

school conditions as existing here and

in the State at large. We are on the

eve of an educational upheaval in this

State, and one of the first aims of this

League should be to place Bullitt

County among those at the top.

When we come to realize that money

spent in educating the masses of the

people means material prosperity as

well as mental and social advance;

when it is borne in upon our brain

areas that an organized educated body

is bound to attract wealth; when we

come to know that a dollar expended

for popular education will save two

dollars spent for the maintenance of

"penal institutions" and to the

conduct of criminal courts; I say

"when we understand that education

is a matter of "dollars as well as

sense", we will join in one united

effort for better schools and universal

education. I urge every teacher to

organize a district improvement

league. Chas. Bridwell, Pres., J. R.

Thompson, Secy.

Test of real education. A professor in

the University of Chicago told his

pupils that he should consider them

educated when they could say yes to

every one of these questions:

Has education given you sympathy

with all good causes and made you

espouse them?

Has it made you public-spirited. Has

it made you a brother to the weak?

Have you learned how to make

friends and keep them? Do you know

what it is to be a friend yourself?

Can you look an honest man or a pure

woman in the eye? Do you see

anything to love in a little child? Will

a lonely dog follow you in the street?

Can you be high-minded and happy

in the meaner drudgeries of life? Do

you think washing dishes and husking

corn just as compatible with high

thinking as piano playing or golf?

Are you good for anything to

yourself? Can you be happy alone?

Can you look out on the world and

see anything except dollars and

cents?

Can you look into a mud puddle by

the wayside and see a clear sky?

Can you see anything in the puddle

but mud? Can you look into the sky

at night and see beyond the stars?

Can your soul claim relationship with

the Creator? - Reprint Kansas City

Bullitt County teachers are receiving

***W. H. Troutman

The death of W. H. Troutman of

Messrs R. L. and C. F. Troutman of

Bullitt County. He was sixty-one

years of age, was born in Bullitt

County, where he lived until about

thirty years of age when he moved to

Lagrange, KY., where he engaged in

business for a few years, moving from

there to Greensburg, IN; where he

lived for about twenty years. Mr.

Troutman was a good businessman and

had succeeded in accumulating a large

amount of money and property.

He had, however, been in an afflicted

condition for about seven years,

partially paralyzed, his eyesight lost

and almost entirely unable to hear. In

this condition, he had been unable to

get any relief whatever, having tried

every remedy that medical science and

skill could offer, and at last, all hope of

rel ief leaving him, he became

despondent and took his own life by

firing a bullet through his heart, dying

almost instantly. His remains were

brought to the home of his sister, Mrs.

M. E. Meredith and from there to Cave

Hill for burial.

***Outing

***James H. Combs

Death of James H. Combs, one of the

best liked men Old Bullitt ever

produced, died of Pellagra, at his home

in Lexington, KY, August 4th, aged

forty-nine years. He was the son of

Olive P. and Margaret Combs, and

spent his childhood, boyhood and

young manhood in Bullitt County,

where he worked on the home farm

and clerked in several stores. Always

polite and obliging, he made friends

rapidly, and held them throughout his

life. For many years, he has been with

the Lexington and Eastern Railroad,

first as a fireman, and for the past

fifteen years in the capacity of a

locomotive engineer. About twenty

months ago, he was badly injured in a

wreck, and has not done any work

since that time. He is survived by

three brothers, Rev. E. H., H. H., and

W. M. Combs, and two sisters, Mrs.

Ralph Bergin and Mrs. C. D. Evans

and one daughter, Hazel. To each of

the grief-stricken brothers and sisters

and the fatherless little daughter, we

extend our deepest sympathy, for there

was no better brother, and no truer

lasting friend than James Combs.

Bates is one of guests, and reports a

delightful time.

Quite a crowd of friends visited

Trunnell, Wathen & Co, at "All Inn

Camp", Sunday, and a better time was

never enjoyed by mortal man than

those same friends were shown by the

whole souled men who have charge

of the camp. The dinner was all the

most exacting critic could desire and

when it came to the service, the chief

danger lay in not eating all the waiters

tried to make you take.

Joe Bowman was head cook or Chief,

and assisting him were, W ax

Simmons, Charlie Morrison, Henry

Trunnell, Richard W athen Jr, Neil

Trunnell Jr, Charles Bridwell, and

Henry Hamilton. Can you beat that

outfit? When dinner was served, all

the cooks became waiters and the

way they passed dishes to guests

would make the Seelbach waiters

look sleepy. And how good that food

tasted. No stuffy dining room, no

flies, no heat.


Page 265

It was an al fresco affair, and mighty

enjoyable, too. A nice, quiet time

was spent up there beneath the shade

of those lordly elms and beautiful

beeches, and when the lowering sun

reminded the guests that is was time

to go, they bade their princely hosts

good bye with genuine regret. The

funny features of the day were: the

eating of dough balls by S. C.

Bridwell, some fancy swimming by

Henry Hamilton, a profound nap of

sleep by W ill Rouse and the

unparalleled hosp itality of Neil

Trunnell and his two boys, and that of

Richard Wathen Jr and Joe Bowman -

Signed, one of the crowd.

Delightful Picnic - One of the most

delightful affairs of the season was a

picnic at Paroquet Springs, given by

several of the young ladies, on

Wednesday evening of last week, in

honor of the Misses Stroud. The

picnic party was conveyed to the

Springs in a large buss, and received

many jolts and scares at the heavy

vehicle lumbered across the rough

road. "Lone Grave" was first visited,

and much interest was manifested by

the visitors in the last resting place of

the broken-hearted girl from the

southland. After spending some time

near the one mound, the party moved

over to the well and partook of the

famous water, and many "faces" were

made by the ladies who had not drunk

the water before. There was a skiff-

ride to the mouth of the Floyd's Fork,

in which all joined except Mrs.

Brame and Miss May Lee, and on the

return of the boating party, it was

m ade know n tha t th e a b o ve

mentioned ladies had prepared a

bountiful repast, made up of almost

everything good to eat. To say that

everybody ate heartily would be

expressing it mildly. There was no

dearth of conversation or good spirits

and everyone enjoyed the trip. Those

in the party were: Mrs. Webb B rame,

Misses Blanch and Bessie Stroud,

Virgie Stringer, May Lee, Doris

Miller, Sybil Brame, and Elizabeth

Brame and Messrs Harvey Davis and

J. R. Zimmerman.

***Facts about the Fair

Rev. W ebb Brame, pastor of a local

church, will have a pen of the now

famous "Rho de Is la nd W hite"

chickens at the fair. Probably the only

ones ever shipped to this county, and

of course, no premium offered, but by

the courtesy of Rev. Brame, our

patrons will be given a chance to see

this new breed of chicken.

Mr. Otis Russell, who has large pen of

the "Hond an" chickens, recently

imported to this country from France

will at least have a pair on exhibition

at our fair.

Mr. Richard Moore, of Cupio, the man

who has completely revolutionized the

sheep industry of the knob section, and

who has had his stock imported direct

from England, will be on hand with his

fine herd of sheep. Our people who

have thought our rough land almost

worthless, will be given a chance to

see what can be grown profitably and

successfully on the knob section of our

county.

Mr. Frank Henderson and Sons will

again have charge of the dining hall

and general refreshment stands.

Col. J. F. Collings, former sheriff of

Bullitt county, will have exclusive

charge of the police force, with 15 or

20 good, sober, upright men sworn in

by Judge Leroy Daniel and a

certificate issued by County Clerk

Lindsay Ridgway, giving them the

same authority as a sheriff or constable

with arrest rights, with or without a

warrant.

***B. E. Bradbury

The body of B. E. Bradbury, 45,

formerly a restaurant keeper at Floyd

and Green Streets, Louisville, was

found by a searching party Wednesday

morning lying at the foot of an

embankment on the bank of the Ohio

river fifteen miles below Louisville.

Mr. Bradbury had been visiting the

home of Claud Ridgway, near Orell,

for several days and on Tuesday night

he disappeared, apparently for a walk,

and failing to return, a searching party

was formed and the entire night spent

in looking for him.

In the pockets of the dead man were

found a roll of bills and his watch.

Deputy Coroner Kammerer does not

suspect foul play. It was believed that

he wandered to the river bank, and

losing his balance, fell over the

embankment. It was later brought out

at an examination of the corpse that

death was caused by organic health

trouble. Bradbury is the nephew of J.

J. Bradbury, of this place, and had

some time ago purchased from Mr.

Ridgway, the farm upon which he was

when his death occurred. He had in

the last few years prospered in his

business and expected in a short while

to give up his city business and move

to the farm. He was a veteran of the

Spanish-American War and is survived

by a wife, one child and a sister.

From Frankfort, Ky. With scythe in

hand, the great white plague reaped a

harvest in Kentucky last year. Deaths

from consumption totaled 5,131.

During the fiscal year, there were

12,483 deaths from preventable

disease. There were 60,732 births.

Total deaths in the state were 30,583.

Typhoid fever caused 1,035; cancer

908; violence 1,526; meningitis 630;

grip 477.

the weight of years, is still the

splendid, high toned Southern lady

she was in these olden days. Here is

hoping that the meeting between this

splendid lady and her former boarders

may be most pleasant and followed

by many others just as p leasant.

Since then, Mr. Morrow has won

distinction. He was judge of this

county for three ..... won much praise.

He is now a man of ample means and

high public sp irit.

Mr. Straus has been honored in his

time, and besides having represented

this district in the Legislature and the

constitutional convention, has become

one the greatest lawyers at the

Kentucky Bar. He has become a great

trial lawyer and is prominently

identified with church work in

Louisville where he lives.

Since then, Mr. Simmons has become

a man of wide learning and ample

fortune. Almost as well acquainted in

Europe, and the countries of the


Page 282

South, as here in Bullitt where he was

reared. He is noted for his

experiences and knowledge of the

world.

Our school is progressing very nicely,

with a good attendance considering

this torpid weather. Also a very great

need for this district is a school

building on a ground where the

children could have a playground.

There is absolutely no grounds, no

roads to the house, and no water. It

keeps some two boys about busy,

carrying water for fifty or sixty some

odd children. Indeed, this school

needs a new building out on grounds

suitable, two rooms, two teachers or a

consolidations of this and Hobbs with

three teachers. This would indicate

progressiveness, and would result in a

blessing you can hardly realize now,

i m p r o v e m e n t i n s c h o o l s .

Consolidation is coming as sure as

the world stands.

Mr. Clarence Duvall had quite an

accident while moving a well-boring

machine. He fell from a wagon,

breaking his leg near the hip. He is

resting very well at this writing under

medical care of Dr. Bates, of

Shepherdsville.

Little Beatrice Powell has been quite

sick for some days.

Next Saturday is to furnish another

refreshing time in ice cream at the

lawn fete, under the beautiful shade

Maples at Mr. John Duvall's. All are

invited. Proceeds go to painting the

church.

The Distillery Co. of Chapeze is

piping the spring water of the big

Spring well to its distillery at

Chapeze, with a very large pipe.

They are also making several

improvements about their buildings.

***Good School Houses - Good

Water.

Our most excellent school board has

erected some good school houses in

the county, and in most instances has

built a good cistern with each house.

This is as it should be, for pure water

is a necessity at a school house, as well

as at other houses

The old fashioned well, usually about

twenty feet deep and open at the top, is

a pool of death. More deadly diseases

lurk in its foul depths than can be

found in an Arkansas swamp.

Some good road is being built in

Bullitt at this time. The Louisville and

Shepherdsville Pike is being put in fine

condition. The new steam roller has

done the work. With it, it is possible

to build good roads at much less

expense than in the old way.

When you contrast the roads in Bullitt

County with those of Jefferson, do not

forget that Bullitt spends about eight

thousand dollars a year on her roads,

while Jefferson County spends two

hundred and fifty thousand on hers.

They spend more money accidently

down there in Jefferson than we spend

on purpose. And more than that, if we

had the spare change which they waste

in what is known as grafting, we could

transform the bad roads of Bullitt into

the finest of boulevards.

***Did you ever try this game?

Did you ever try to run a newspaper?

We thought perhaps you had. We

have heard you criticize the county

papers and from your criticisms, had

formed the idea that you were a trained

journalist. And you do not know a

blankety-blank thing ab out the

business? We should have known it.

As a rule, they (the people) criticize

the things they know least about.

Running a paper is no cinch. We can

name a thousand and two pleasanter

things. The work is hard , while the

pay is very poor. Did you (we mean

the ladies) ever attempt to scrape up a

meal on the spur of the moment!

It is no fun, and this is what the paper

men have to do every issue. When

you go to write, you have to be careful

and get something that is not moth-

eaten and worn out from continued

use.

Suppose the paper men wrote just as

the gossipers talk? The papers would

be full of news this week, and next

week, the editor would be full of

buckshot. To record all the drunks,

wife-beatings, family troubles and

social scandals would make a breezy

paper all right, but the people would

rise up in their might and lynch the

editor and burn his paper. We could

make a specialty of writing up all the

big snake stories and grave yard ghost

stories, but that might prove too

uncanny and ghostly for our delicate

readers and then it might keep a lot a

timid youths from going to see their

best girls after night.

Maids to fill our columns with their

experiences in love affairs. We feel

sure that they could send in some

very readable articles, and cause

some of the boys to do some fine

blushing. In connection with their

articles, we could publish love letters

on the side.

Or, better still, we might get each

married man to give his written

opinion of his mother-in-law, and

follow that up with the mothers-in-

law giving their opinions of their dear

sons-in-law.

There are hundreds of ways in and by

which we might make our paper more

readable, but would we live long in

the land of our farefathers? (sic) We

could stir up a small storm each

week, by jumping on some fellow and

giving him a good skinning, but

honestly, do you want to be the

skinned fellow? Of course you do

not, nor does the other fellow. No

man can enjoy being abused by a

newspaper. You do want us to tell

you of matters which we told you

about last year.

It would not do to advocate any

particular religious organization, nor

advocate it's views, because all other

denominations would get red hot.

What, therefore, must we publish?

We know that we should not publish;

tell us what we must publish.


Page 283

For long, long years, the poor,

despised, abused and poorly paid

newspaper men of this county have

been in the habit of publishing just

what they could get, and we shall

continue to do the same. Provided it

is not so bad that we shall be in

danger of being shot or hauled up in

the federal court.

***Revival
