CHESTER CREEL KILLED BY LIGHTNING Undertaker Jack L. Beazley was called to Middleburg Monday night by Mr. W.T. Miller, the undertaker there, to embalm the body of Chester B. Gooch, Jr., aged 14, who had been killed by a bolt of lightning. The young man, who was a son of Dr. and Mrs. C.B. Creech, was on his way to the barn to milk when his life was snapped out by electricity. He would soon have completed his high school work and he was an exceptionally bright, fine boy. Several from Middleburg who have been here since the tragedy say that "Chester" was one of the best boys in their section and that his tragic death has caused universal sorrow in the community he lived in and where he was a general favorite. The father, mother, sisters and brothers are naturally almost heart-broken over their loss and in their great sorrow they have the sympathy in their deep grief and irreparable loss. The remains were laid to rest in the Middleburg cemetery this afternoon in the presence of one of the largest crowds that has gathered there in many years. TOURING KENTUCKY IN A FORD Judge Alben W. Barkley, Democratic nominee for U.S. Senator, is making a tour of the State of Kentucky in one of Henry Ford's flivvers and is meeting the people in their homes. It is a sensible move on the part of Judge Barkley, for there is no doubt but that he will make many friends of the people he comes in contact with. A splendid handshaker, a fine mixer, he'll know more people after the race is over than Hon. Richard P. Ernst thought there were in Kentucky. It grows more and more apparent each day that Judge Barkley is going to win his race and he is making the matter more certain by coming in close contact with the voters. "To know Judge Barkley is to admire him; to know him well is to love him," some one has remarked. We agree with the person who has thus spoken. He is a most likable man and the better we know him, the greater admirer of (rest of article is missing). (first sentence and header is missing) .... will sell at public action his splendid farm on the Stanford and Hustonville pike, some two and a half miles north of Hustonville. The farm contains 220 acres and it is fine land - Hanging Fork land - and there is none better. The boundary is really two farms, one containing 156 acres, the home place, and the other - the Judge Wright farm - of 63 1-4 acres. Both places are well improved, a $3,500 barn having recently been built on the larger farm. As stated in the advertisement appearing in this issue, the standing crops show the character of this land. The sale will be held rain or shine and a good dinner will be served on the ground. Be on Hand and tell your friends about the big sale. Tomorrow - Thursday, August 26th, is the date. BADLY HURT BY AUTO Some skunk, who ought to be doing time at Frankfort, struck Mrs. R. L. Overstreet with his car as she was returning from church at Perryville, and badly maimed her. It might have been an accident that he struck her, but it was not accidental that he hurried on and left his victim to suffer alone. Such persons should be denied the privilege of driving cars. They are worse than the "road hog," who ought to be shot before breakfast each morning. DR. JASPER BURIED THIS AFTERNOON The remains of Dr. W.C. Jasper were laid to rest in the Waynesburg cemetery this afternoon after funeral services at Double Springs Baptist church at 2:30 o'clock by Rev. J. B. Jones.
