Circuit Court.  This is the last week of the present term of Circuit Court. 
All the week has been taken up with the trial of civil cases and quite a
number have been disposed of.  The grand jury adjourned last week returning
about thirty-five indictments.  Only one indictment was returned for the
illegal sale of liquor. 

Offered Post in England.  Mr. John H. Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. M.C.
Williams, who is doing some work in the State Department at Washington, has

Miss Wilson's Fine Record.  Lexington, Ky., special, March ?, 1920. - Miss
Alberta Wilson, of Somerset, a senior in the Arts and Science College of the
University of Kentucky, has made herself prominent in the school life by her
exceptionally good work.  She is completing the regular four year course in
the University in three years without having to attend summer school.  For
the last two semesters she has had twenty-three hours work each semester and
has made "A" in every subject.  During her entire tutelage in the University
she has made as grades only A's and B's, the two highest marks given in the
University.  Besides the unusually hard work which she is taking, she is
teaching a class in elementary Spanish, and is assisting Dr. Funkhouser, head
of the department of Zoology, in his laboratory.  She is a member of the
Rafinsque Botany Club, the Horace Mann Literary Society and is president of
the Romance Languages Club.  The University comrades of Miss Wilson are proud
to have as a fellow student one who shows so unusual talent and ability.

Negro Electrocuted.  Petrie Kimbrough, alias William Locket, murderer of

confessed murder of four women, died at 4 o'clock Thursday, March 11, in the
prison electric chair at Eddyville, Ky.  He was the thirty-second man to die
in the electric chair at Eddyville.

Big Deal On In The East That Will Mean Much to Pulaski County, It Is Said.  
Milo Shanks, editor and manager of the Elmira, N.Y., Advertiser, has
associated himself with Frank T. Ketter, a well known and wealthy business
man of Elmira in the incorporation and establishment of the East Pulaski Coal
Company for the development of coal lands owned by Milo Shanks in this
section.  Mr. Shanks, who was formerly a citizen of Pulaski county and was in
the newspaper business at Richmond, Ky., has been in Elmira for several years
as the editor and manager of Elmira Advertiser, which is owned by former
Congressman Sloat Fasset, and which is an influential publication in that
section of the State.  It is stated that the land which is to be developed
already has been tested and that the coal has been found to be of good
quality.  Mr. Ketter is now in the Pulaski field looking over the situation. 
He made a talk before the business men of Somerset last Friday night.  It is
said that development on a large figure is expected to be started at an early
date.  A large plant, it is said, will be erected here to manufacture the
by-products of coal.  It is a big proposition on foot and if it goes thru
would mean much to this section.

Grand Juror A "Bootlegger."   George Shiplett, one of the grand jurors of the
last session of this august body, was arrested by Patrolman Robt. Warren and
Silas West Tuesday who register against him a charge in Police Court of
"bootlegging" whiskey in Somerset.  It is reported that Shiplett was caught
in the act by "Moster" Warren who summoned the aid of Patrolman West and when
they made the arrest Shiplett was relieved of a keg of what is said to be a
very high grade of "Mountain Moonshine."  Shiplett was given a fine and jail
sentence and the "keg" is under seal in the vault of the First National Bank.
 The offender will be turned over to the United States government
authorities.  Somerset police say that there is considerable "moonshining"
going on in the county and if they were given sufficient aid the business
could be stopped.  "Moster" Warren says if "moonshiners" want to sell their
product they had better sell it outside the city limits.  It is a shame and a
disgrace that a man who is intrusted with the enforcement of the laws, and
who takes upon himself an obligation to do this duty as a grand juror, should
be found guilty of such an offense.  It is bad, indeed, for anyone to be
guilty of crime or to be a confessed violator of the law, but when a grand
juror is arrested and confesses to selling liquor, we are reminded that "all
men are sinners" and "there is none good, no not one."  Who can be trusted
with the destiny of good government and who is worthy of the trust he holds?

Bethurum Not To Run (photo available).  Judge B.J. Bethurum who has been
considering making the race for the Republican nomination for United States
Senator, in an interview with a Journal reporter this week, stated that he
had made up his mind not to enter the race but will support R.P. Ernst of
Covington.  It seems if the Republican bosses have had their way and will
give Mr. Ernst the nomination without opposition.  The Democrats had rather
see Mr. Ernst nominated than Judge Bethurum for they feel Judge Bethurum
would be a harder man to defeat.

Gets Agency.  Mr. T.E. Jasper, the hardware man, has taken agency for the
Studebaker automobile of Pulaski, Wayne and McCreary.  He hopes to have one
of the late models here in a short time.  Mr. Jasper also has the agency for
the Liberty Six and will have one of these cars here for exhibition soon.

"Tead" is Doing Fine.  Mr. A. Goldenberg received a letter from "Tead" Hines
this week in which he said: "I am still with the California Raisin Company
and getting along fine.  I like California.  Will be back in Somerset in
1924.  I would come sooner, but know the citizens could not, without a lot of
inconvenience, prepare for my welcome any sooner than that time.  I want the
band out and the flags flying."  "Tead's" many friends will be glad to know
he is doing so nicely.  No boy ever left Somerset with more friends and every
one wishes him success.

Danville High Defeats Somerset in a Hand Fight Rather Than a Basketball Game.
  What was supposed to be a basketball game and was played at Danville last
Friday night between Somerset High and Danville High.  The result was in
favor of Danville by a score of 15 to 10.  The game during the last half
after Somerset was ahead resolved itself into a free for all fight in which
players and spectators took part.  Those who saw the game said it was a
regular "knock down and drag out" affair.  The art of goal shooting and
basketball playing was forgotten and both teams went after each other with a
vengeance.  Upon the outcome of this game, Danville claims the championship
of the state but has no more right to it than Somerset has for claiming the
championship of the world.  Danville has played small teams all season with
the exception of Louisville, Somerset and Paris.  It seems to us the
championship is in a muddle.  Louisville probably has a better claim than any
other team for championship honors.  Certainly Somerset has as much right to
claim it as Danville.

Shortage of Teachers.  Washington, March 13. - The largest shortage of
teachers of any State in the country is in Kentucky, where it would be
necessary to add 2,250 experienced schoolma'ams to the payroll to bring the

of Education, Department of the Interior.  Texas has the next largest
shortage of 2,055; Virginia has a shortage of 2,000; Georgia 1,500; North
Carolina 700 and Iowa 600.

Griffith-Daniels.  On Friday evening, at the parsonage of the
Congregationalist church, Ida Marie Griffith and James Morgan Daniels were
married by Rev. Evans in the presence of a few friends.  Miss Ida is the
eldest daughter of Mrs. India Griffith and the young couple will make their
home at the Griffith Hotel.  Mr. Daniels is secretary to General Manager
Butler and prior to affiliating with this company held an important post with
the Southern Railway.  The bride, an attractive blonde, wore a dark serge
traveling suit, with hat and blouse to correspond.  Mr. and Mrs. Daniels left
on the midnight train for a short southern trip.  Needless to remark that the
"newly-weds" have the best wishes of a host of friends for their future
happiness. - McCreary County Record.

Montague-Chase.   The Lexington papers carried the following Sunday that will
be of interest to Somerset people.  Sterling Chase lived in Somerset with his
parents, Dr. and Mrs. H.S. Chase, for some time:  "The marriage of Miss
Josephine Montague to Mr. Sterling T. Chase was solemnized Tuesday afternoon
at the home of the officiating minister, the Rev. J.W. Porter.  The
attendants were Miss Mary Smith, maid of honor, and John Thomas Perry, best
man.  The wedding was a very quite affair, only members of the immediate
families being present.  After the marriage service, the bridal party was
entertained at dinner at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
William R. Montague, the bride and groom leaving later on a trip.   They will
make their home at Lexington on their return.  The bride is the only daughter
of the household.  She studied at Hamilton College and the University of
Kentucky. Mr. Chase is connected with a lumber company, and is the son of Dr.
H.S. Chase and Mrs. Chase, formerly of Lexington, now of Denver."

Big Recruiting Drive.   Corpl. Theo. Bayless, in charge of the local
recruiting office here, received a telegram from Colonel Pfiel, at
Louisville, Kentucky, stating that the Kentucky recruiting district stood
second on March 5th in 56 districts throughout the United States in getting
recruits for the army.  This big drive will end March 31.  And Corpl. Bayless
says he knows several young men who has told him they were going to enlist
soon.  So boys, get together and come on before this big drive is over as
Kentucky district and the First Division is anxious to be in first place when
the drive is finished.  The United States Government has spent two million
dollars in this big drive trying to show the young men of the country the
