Falmouth Outlook Fri. 4 Apr 1924 Vol. 17 No. 44 Pg. 3 Col. 2 OLD CYNTHIANA DEMOCRAT A lady in this city gave us a copy of The Cynthiana Democrat, published February 14, 1878. It is a four page paper with nine columns to the pare, and is brim full of live news from Harrison and all surrounding counties. The paper at that time was edited by Hanson Penn Diltz. There were many news items in the paper from Falmouth and Pendleton County. We reprint some of the items of interest to our people that appeared in this issue of the Democrat: Major Bronson is home from an eastern trip. Judge C. H. Lee Sr., attended court at Brooksville last week. Old Licking is again on the rampage and prospects are flattering for a big river. Pendleton Quarterly Court is in session with full docket, Judge Perrin presiding. Dr. J. H. Barbour has purchased a $700 Bradbury piano, and Miss Hattie Pettit bought one for $650. Julius "Duke" Coleman, son of Col. J. C. Coleman, left Monday for Charleston, IL, his future home. The Robbins Brothers have sold their extensive dry goods establishment in this city to Capt Julius C. Coleman. W. F. Clark who lives in the proposed cut off to Grant County, has gone to Frankfort to oppose the proposition. If you will visit Falmouth you will be ashamed of your mud. Yours may be inches deep, but here it is feet and is still increasing. The funeral of Miss Maggie Raney, who died recently, was preached last Sunday at the Baptist church by Rev. Mr. Aulick, of Berryville. A. F. Aulick, now of Bracken County, says it takes five hours to go the fifteen miles from Milford to Falmouth on horseback on account of the mud roads. Born, to the wife of Henry Ellis, a daughter: to the wife of John R. Galloway, a son; to the wife of J. V. Oldham, a son; to the wife of Ben Carter, a daughter. C. A. Robbins, J. E. Thompson, W. H. Roberts and W. B. Riggs were elected town trustees. Judge Jameson was elected police judge and Jno. J. Hobday town marshal. J. U. Riggle and wife, nee Miss Kate Ellis, who were married at Falmouth on Thursday 7 February were given a most elegant reception at the residence of Mrs. Harriet Blackerby. Licenses to we in Pendleton County during the last week: James H. Morris and Miss Kate Hart, Harrison Calvert and Miss Olive Campbell, S. A. Miller and Miss Caroline Hill, Thomas Halpin and Miss Zuella Slater. There is a great deal of sickness in town and county. George Oldham is lying very low, with but little hope of recovery, and one of his children is quite ill with scarlet fever. Capt. Henry Bullock is confined to his home with erysipelas A protracted meeting is being held at the Methodist church under the leadership of Rev. B. F. Bristow, the pastor, who was assisted last week by Rev. R. Hiner and this week by Rev. W. T. Taylor of Nicholasville. Large and attentive congregations, through there was yet been only one addition. Of the various aspirants for public favor I cannot refrain from mentioning our friends J. T. Simon, who is a candidate for county judge, he will be the lucky man, and I fully believe that a majority of the voters of Pendleton county are of the same opinion, and will express themselves at the primary election on the fist Saturday in March, and for county clerk, J. B. Applegate, the present incumbent, will, I think be retained, as he is a good man and an excellent clerk. Falmouth Outlook Fri. 4 Apr 1924 Vol. 17 No. 44 Pg. 3 Col. 4 (Biographical Sketch of Dr. H.

Falmouth Outlook Fri. 4 Apr 1924 Vol. 17 No. 44 Pg. 8 Col. 3 Havilandsville and Vicinity Items Born to Mr. & Mrs. E. J. Price a son, 23 Mar 1924. Mrs. Carrie Hendy was the guest Friday of Mrs. Mae Humphrey. Born to Mr. & Mrs. Cecil Price, at Sunrise, the past week a son Otto B. Mrs. Della Woolery returned to her home at Demossville Saturday, after a week's visit to relatives near Sunrise. Born, Saturday, 22 Mar 1924, to Mr. and Mrs. Hickman Carr, of Sunrise, a daughter. Mrs. Carr was Mrs. Cora Dallas Price. Miss Emma Browning was the guest Friday of Mrs. Lena Sellars and with her visited teh school, it being the last day. Everybody in the vicinity has the measles or a chance for them, it seems. The four children of Mr. & Mrs. John Harper are among the latest, doing well, however. The meeting of the Sunrise Christian church is progressing nicely, Mr. Roscoe Thompson assisting the paston, Mr. Charles Japin. Despite the measles epidemic and the inclement weather good crowds are in attendance. Radio fans reported a wind storm due in Harrison County about midnight Saturday and there were some scared people, but, as is often the case, the scare was worse than the reality, for though the wind had done much damage blowing over machines and strippin goff their tops, blowing down fencing, etc., it was not alarmingly heavy that nith. However, most wer glad that it was a false alarm. Since we made our adieus last week, suspect will be accused of fickleness in coming again, but really, we knew you'd miss us so, and anyway, a wise man or woman changes its mind. Those pupils in Richland school to make a term average of 90 or more were: Grade 2, Opal Ruth Dennis, Geneva Moore; Grade 3, Elmer Doggett; Grade 4, Ologa Bradley, Iva Dennis, Leonard Price; Grade 5 and 6, Lillie and Elizabeth Adams, Audrey Hall; Grade 7-8, Lester Price. From so small a school this a splendid average. Those to recieve prizes for most perfect marks in spelling were: Geneva Moore, Elmer Doggett, Ologa Bradlsy, Audrey Fay Hall and Lester Price. The only pupil to attend every day, Raymond Sellers, was awarded a half dollar. Much of the success of the school is due to the cooperation of the parents, as is usually the case. The trustee having offered prizes to the boy and girl causing the least trouble during the term was won by Lester Price and Gladys Hall. One patron gave his own children a prize to go to the one making the highest average during the year. Those things are of assistance to the teacher in getting results. Thank all of the patrons for their kindly co-operation and for their hospitality during my stay among them.
