A few weeks ago the bureaucrats at St. Petersburg were
talking airily of dissolving the douma whenever if* became

parllament need fear no dissolution unlers it desired An

must be the heart that resists such an invitdtion and
parental appeal. ‘Gpd‘s country* in June will put on her
loveliest garb for you; nature will wear, as she can wear
only in Kentucky, her brightest wreath of flowers and

sical celebration; green pastures, shady woodlands, rolling
hillsides and picturesque sreams will in glorious and gor-
geous style bespeak the welcome which thrills every heart.
“Wo have this great event for your coming in Louisville
from June 13 to 17; thence you may radiate into all parts
of the state* where equally hospitable welcomes will bo
given you.
"Now, therefore, as governor of the commonwealth of
Kentucky, I, J. C. W. Beckham, do by these presents and
by the authority of the parent, which Kentucky claims
over all her children, even unto the third and fourth gen-
erations, command each and every former Kentuckian,
whether separated from us by imaginary state lines or
broad seas, to come back home; if he be at the plow, the
forgo, the counting room, the business office or in whatever
employment, let him for the time cease his work and return
home. Men, women and children, who possess the price-
less heritage of hiving a drop of Kentucky blood in their
veins, must obey these commands and fall not to bo with
us during this gala period. It is not necessary to issue
any commands to the people here as to the treatment of
the guests, for the former are anxious boyond measure to

Russia is Indeed in a molten state today. What shape
it will assume when the hardening process comes no man
may foretell, save according to the law of nations that
revolutions always advance. As the Washington Star says,
there is a wide difference between the Russia of May, 1906,
and the Russia of May, 1900, Or even 1904. A year ago the
seeds of change were already sown in the thorough demon-
stration of Russian weakness in the far east and virtual
certainty of defeat at the hands of the Japanese. The actual

D. H. Holley, sheriff of Franklin
county, was here yesterday on busi-
ness, with the comptroller's department.
He filed his report.
Sherift Holley, in speaking of the
political situation in his county, stated
that the people ar not taking much In-
terest in the gubernatorial contest, but
from what he has been able to observe
the race for governor is between
Brooks and Campbell, that Is from
present indications. Considerable in-
terest, however, was being manifested
In local politics.
He declared that the prospects for
an abundant crop this year were never
better, the farmers had just had e nough
rain and the cotton and corn were pro-
greasing nicely. Till* makes the farm-
ers happy, in view of the fact that the
crop in his county last year was a com-
plete failure, due to excessive rains.
According to Sheriff Holley, the
farmers are devoting more time and
acreage this year than ever before in
fruit culture, as that has proved to be
quite a'source of revenue. He said that
some of the finest peaches in the statc-
are grown In Franklin county and the
demand for the fruit has been so great
that those who are raising peaches
have already contracted for the sale
of their entire output at 50 cents a
bushel in bulk at Franklin. The pur-
chasers are to pay not only for the
shipping, but also for the crating.
