-Mrs. Bessie Simmons
Lively passed
examination and was
admitted to the bar in
Georgetown today. Mrs.
Lively has been
studying law for the
past two years under
W. C. C. Hobbs, and
took the examination,
it being necessary to
stand the final test
in an adjoining
county. The examiners
were Judge Saufley,
Judge Eskew and Mr.
Victor Bradley. The
examination lasted
over an hour. After
the examination had
ben completed, Judge
Saufley shook hands
with Mrs. Lively and
congratulated her on
the splendid
examination she had
passed, saying that he
did not know a woman
could have such a
grasp of the
principles of the law.
She will remain here
several weeks, but has
not decided whether
she will locate in
Lexington. Mr. Lively
is a niece of Mrs.
Mary F. Vinson and
Mrs. Mary Rolfe of
Huntington, and was
born in Cabell county,
and has may relatives
there.-One of our
judicial candidates
says that in a recent
visit to the extreme
upper end of Lincoln
county, on Mud river,
he met a most
interesting and
intelligent lady, Mrs.
Hannah Adkins, wife of
Samuel Adkins one of
the substantial
citizens of that
locality. Mrs. Adkins,
whose maiden name was
Greer, is a native of
North Carolina, and is
sixty-eight years of
age. She is a
great-great-grandchild
of Daniel Boone,
Kentucky’s most famous
pioneer, and in face
and carriage she shows
clearly the fine
strain of pioneer
blood that runs
through her veins. She
is a most hospitable
motherly woman, whose
home surroundings give
evidence of the nice
care of her domestic
management. She is a
most worthy descendant
of old Daniel Boone.
-The home of James
Gallon, located on a
farm about one mile up
Symmes Creek, was
totally destroyed by
fire about five
o’clock Sunday
evening. The fire
originated from an
overheated stove and
before the flames were
discovered the blaze
had gained
considerable headway.
Before the family had
time to rescue any of
the furniture the
flames had enveloped
the entire building.
An alarm was sounded
and the neighbors
hurried to the scene
but they were unable
to fight the flames.
The family came to
Huntington last night
and were cared for by
friends until they can
rebuild their home.
-This city has
always evinced a
desire to patronize
the best of theatrical
performances. A large
audience, therefore,
is expected to witness
Mr. Charles B.
Hanford’s presentation
of Don Caesar De.
Bazan which will be
given at the
Huntington theater on
Thursday, October 13.
Many flattering
reports of this
production have
arrived from places
where this play has
been produced this
season.
-As Noah B., owned
by Tom Brickley of
Arlington, Md., came
under the wire in the
2:14 trot and won the
third straight heat at
the York fair, the
horse’s driver, Jockey
Layman Robman of
Baltimore, fell over
the wheel of his sulky
as though shot. When
picked up he was
pronounced dead.
Thousands had watched
the race. Noah B. had
won two straight
heats, and neared the
wire in the third
heat, leading by two
lengths. Robman’s
hands were seen to
fall by his side as he
was pressed by Maggie
S. The lines fell
forward and he dropped
from his sulky. It is
thought he was
afflicted with heart
trouble and died from
excitement. He was
fifty-nine years old.
-Lockjaw, or
tetanus, is caused by
a bacillus or germ
which exists
plentifully in street
dirt. It is inactive
so long as exposed to
the air, but when
carried beneath the
skin as in the wounds
caused by percussion
caps or by rusty
nails, and when the
air is excluded the
germ is roused to
activity and produces
the most virulent
poison known. These
germs may be destroyed
and all danger of
lockjaw avoided by
applying Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm freely as
soon as the injury is
received. Pain Balm is
an antiseptic and
causes cuts, bruises
and like injuries to
heal without
maturation and in
one-third the time
required by the usual
treatment. It is for
sale by U. G. Wriston.
