Mr. W. Lee Elkin, of Louisville, is spending a few days with Lancaster relatives. He is the eldest son of Mr. Armp B. Elkin, of that city, who is remembered by many friends here. He tells us his father has charge of the lithographing rooms of the Kentucky Lithographing Co., a position both responsible and lucrative.

Babies Health Contest
The first prize winner in the class, 12 to 24 months, was Wm. A. Elkin, son of Lee Elkin and grandson of Armp Elkin, both of whom were born in Lancaster, so he is a Garrard Co., product after all.

Editor Record:
When you wrote me the Central Record, under that name, was to round out a third of a century, memory, which has a strange power of crowding years into moments, came to my assistance and I was again the boy, the editor of The Alpha, and just as proud of it as you are the Central Record.
I was carried back to the old farm house known as Elkin Place, where, according to tradition, I had grown "too large to drive up the ducks" and was now driving my own ducks to market in the form of The Alpha. Again I hurry through breakfast, and start out across the wooded fields, giving myself fifteen minutes to walk in, and great was my disappointment if, on looking at the town clock, I found it had taken a few more minutes from my busy day. (Now the editor of the Central Record rides from the same house in an automobile taking less than five minutes). I then walked into a little one room office as editor, typist, proof reader, foreman, devil and other names too numerous to mention. The little paper I out was not as large as any one of your adds will be this week, but it was gotten out just as yours is, with the interest of the town and its citizens at heart, it payed them, as yours does, more in the long run, than it did me. From the covenants of friendship we were establishing then, we thought we would enjoy in after years, but alas the forces of life drove us asunder and what we sowed others have reaped, and our heart swells with pride when I see your splendid paper, your magnificent building and plant, to know I was one of the stepping stones. Lancaster is very dear to me and any progress she makes along any line, especially the newspaper line, is gratifying. No other town in Kentucky, of its size, has such a paper and such men at the helm and I do not congratulate you but I congratulate Lancaster on the growth and enterprise of their paper. It is enterprise, after all that oils the wheels of energy and industry. Industry gathers together with a frugal hand, the means whereby we are enabled to develop our plans and purposes. Energy gives us force whereby we gather the courage to persevere, but it is enterprise that suggests way and means to overcome difficulties all of which you need in newspaper work. You have all of these, therefore you are to be congratulated. Here's to your good health, your family's good health may you all live long and prosper.
