For Sweet Charity.

The prospect is very good for .
lheavy call on the charitably inclined
1.-THE coming winter. The summer and
Tfall just ended have not brought to
many Of the working people the OPP
i portunities for work that is usual, and
many who are unused to ask for aid,
viii 20 into the next few months with
a poor prospect of getting along with
out suffering. 1t is the privilege of
those to whom God has given a sur
plus to divide with their fellows less
fortunate than themselves. Never
(will the opportunity be offered when
= the needs will be more emphatic than
this winter bids fair 20 be.
The good people of Mt. Sterling
have not been slow to respond to
calls Of this kind, and we believe,
when they realize that the necessity is
great, they will respond as freely and
literally now as in the past. There is
no better mode of of distributing help
through the Board of Associated
Charities. Money placed in the hands
of this Board is distributed through a
committee, who first ascertain by per-
sonal investigation, the worthiness OF
the parties for who the aid is asked.
Many, very many, unworthy par
ties apply, and even with the most
! diligent investigation the distributing
comS .ystee will now and then give to
objects utterly unworthy. Still this
only happens now and then, whilst
individual giyers are imposed upon
Mbmost daily.
We appeal to the people of the city
TO respond freely and literally to the
call of this noble work, You will be
asked for aid and we hope and believe
you will not be asked in vain.

which was read at the meeting.
ASHLAND, KY, Nov. %, 1898.
Hon. G.. b. Swango, Frankfort, KY:
DEAR SIR FL am attorney for and
personally acquainted with the gen.
tleman composing the company own
ing camel coal lands on Caney and
adjacent territory in Morgan county.
They are worthy and entirely respon-
sible gentlemen. They have the abili-
ty and intend, in good faith, to de-
velop the camel coal property, and
with that view, build and operate a
railroad to connect with the G. 81 o.
railroad at some point on the line OF
the latter Company, if, upon survey OF
line for railroad same isfound prac-
ticabIe, and they meet with the accord
and support of local public sentiment.
Without reservation 1 may, and do,
say that this company offers better
assurance of railroad development in
Morgan and adjacent territory than
any Offer or promise of such ever pre-
sented to the people.
Very truly yours,
JOHN F. HAGER.
Mr.. RIM. Broas with headquarters at
Ashland, KY, and who is one of rich
firm from N. Y. arrived here Monday
morning and the news was circulated
that we would have a meeting of our
citizens at the court house at 3: 80
o'clock in the afternoon. A good
crowd was present and Col. j.. It.
Hazelrigg addressed them pointing
out our interests along the proposed
line and the rich resources awaiting
developement.
Mr.. Broas was introduced by him
and he said we, our company, own
5000 acres of land and have 5000
acres of superior camel coal as fine as
there is in the world, and we propose
to build line to it if it does not cost
more than has been estimated. An
engineering party will begin work at
Morenead Monday, and when their
worh has been completed they will
run line from our coal fields to Roth
we'll and the most practical and less
expensive line will adopted. L am
here by invitation to give the people
of Montgomery and others along the
line, from RothweIl,a chance for the
road. He had no secrets to conceal
and spoke plainly and to the point,
which was gladly received, At the
close of his remarks, meeting was or
ganized by electing Mr.. j. G. Trimble
Chairman, and John G. Wood, of the
Gazette, and j. w. Hedden, of the
ADVOCATE, Secretaries.
Mr.. John T. Hazelrigg moved that
committee of ten men be appointed
to confer with Mr.. Broas, and associa.
ties, and to take such steps as would be
necessary, looking forward to the 10,
cation of the road, so as to connect
with the Kentucky & S. A. from this
point. ...s Hr .....

COMMITTEE MEETING.

JIG. Trimble was made Chairman
and John G. Wood and j. w. Hedden,
Clerks. 1t was the sense of the meet
ing that they await completion of sur
veys of routes and report to them,
after which the matter of subscrip-
tons and right of way would be pre-
scented to the people.
After many interogations and salts
factory answers from Mr.. Broas, the
committee meeting adjourned.
This is an opportunity for a rail-
road, now needed by this section, and
our people must be active and respond
quickly or their interests will suffer.
We are ready, and any reasonable
proposition will be promptly accepted,
is our candid opinion. Water works
completed and this road under con-
struction, and we will hear nothing
more of hard times.

no BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an
unusual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for
the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something 6
entirely different. Each person is
asked merely to help himself, and the
one who helps himself to the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing 1T.
The prize is only stimulus to do
something that would be we'll worth
doing without it. The architect whose
competitive plan fora club house
on certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very
little use to him. But the person who
patents simple and useful device in
the Press Claims COmpany's competi-
tion' need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has substantial result
to show for his work-0ne that will
command its value in the market at
any time.
The plain man who uses any article
in his daily work ought to know bet
ter how to improve it than the
mechanical expert who studies it only
from the theoretical point of view.
Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth
patenting. The simpler tie better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the
Press Claims Compay's twenty-five
hundred dollars.
The responsibility Of this company
may be Judged from the fact that it's
stock is neld by about three hundred
of the leading newspapers OF the
United States.
