Dedication at Salt Lick.

Salt Lick is situated In Bath
county in the valley of the Licking
river, and on the line of the C. q
o. railroad. Mountain peaks,
rock-ribed and pine clad, produce
the most exquisite scenery to the
North, South and East, and to the
West the azure blue kisses the
waving bluegrass. The valley lands
are level and fertile, and the sur
rounding hills are rich in resources,
the produce of which are unladen
in the town of Salt Lick, making
hers a prosperous people. There
are no whisky shops to draw sus-
tenance and to fire the depravity of
man. Business moves along free
from envy and jealousy, and when
the Western shades cover the pict-
uresque valley, business men, sons
and daughters find pleasure in their
homes. School houses adorn the
verdurt plats and church steeples
lift their spires heavenward. This
is a model country town, and her
citizens dwell together in unity.
Sunday, the 6 inst, was a memora-
BILE day. 1t was the appointed
time when the M. E. Church, a
beautiful modern structure, was to
be set apart for Gods service. The
ladies of the town and surrounding
country, regardless of church lines,
had busted themselves to make this
a pleasant, happy day, and their
efforts were not in vain. Baskets,
almost without number, filed with
the best the land could afford and
houses open to guests, every one
was glad to have been there.

g. The dedicatory sermon was
preached in very able manner by
DR.. A. j. Walsh, of Lexington, the
Presiding Elder of the Lexington
District of the M. E. Church
Revs. Cannon, Cantrell, Howe
May and Davis assisting. A large
concourse was present, notwith.
standing the threatening weather
of the morning, the church being
crowded to standing room; and
hundreds being unable to even
enter. Among the many peo-
pie present were noticed friends
from Lexington, Mt. Sterling, Ow-
ingsville, Morehead and Farmers.
The church is a frame building
3OX50 feet, situated on North Main
street, and, according to the Trus-
tees accounts, cost (lot included
81 $50, of this amount all had been
collected and paid on the building
except $3.50. Through the efforts
of DR.. Walsh and the Trustees, the
entire amount was subscribed,
within a few minutes, and the
church was dedicated free of debt
at the evening service.
Too much praise cannot be given
the people of Salt Lick for the
prompt manner in which their sub
scriptions poured in, as the whole
balance needed to pay the church
debt was raised in not more than
one half hour. To our outside
friends, who generously donated,
we are truly grateful and shall be
glad to return the favor when the
opportunity offers.
Revs. Cannon, Cantrell, Howes,
May and Davis remain and will
hold a protracted meeting in the
new church for two weeks.

Bread is said to be made by some
bakers after this recipe: Some soap
is dissolved in a little water to this is
added some oil, and the mixture, after
being well whipped, is added to the
flour. The crumb of the bread manu-
featured by this process is said to be
lighter and more spongy than that
made in the ordinary way.

District Meeting Of the C. W. B. NJ

SASA Az mOOtAuJ VI tnC W " D. HI
The District Convention of the
Christian Woman's Board of Mis-
sions for the counties Of Harrison,
Bourbon, Clark, Bath, Nicholas
and Montgomery met at the Chris
tian church in this city ON Satur-
day.
As its name implies, this is a
woman's organization, and the pur-
pose of the district meeting is to
awaken greater interest in mission
work and to extend wider knowl-
edge of the needs and accomplish
ments of those in the far distant
heather lands. The Convention
was called to order by the District
Manager, Mrs. Joel Berry, of Paris,
and Mrs. Jacob Henry, in her prov
erbially happy manner, delivered
an address of welcome, to which
the District Manager gracefully
responded. Papers were read, and
they were every one of them able
ones, by Mrs. Yancey of Cynthiana,
Mrs. Keene, of Winchester, Mrs.
James Richart of Owing sville,
Mrs. James Berry of Moorefeld,
and Mrs. Wornall of Paris. We
must not fail to mention recita-
ton handsomely delivered for the
of the Convention
by Miss Butler, of Illinois,. who is
visiting friends here.
The meeting was a most enioya-
BILE one to the visiting delegates, the
number of whom was about thirty,
and was particularly so to the
members of the local society, who
express themselves as grateful to
their visitors for all that was done
to help them make the meeting the
success all felt it was.
The music furnished by the
choir of the church, assisted by
some friends, performed no small
part in rendering the day an enjoy
able one.
1t goes without the saying that
the good women Of the Christian
were prepared to furnish
their guests with most appetizing
dinner. We have seen these good
ladies called on many times, but
have never seen them fail to re-
spond in a manner that made their
guests feel exceedingly grateful to
them.
Among the visitors was Mrs. DR..
Missionary to China, who
was a most welcome and much hon.
ored guest of the local society.
Mrs. Keeene, of Winchester, was
elected District Manager, and the
Convention adjourned to meet next
year with the local society of the
church at Cynthiana.

r. Krebs, who came here from
Chattanooga, Tenn, with a stock
of dry goods, clothing, etc., sold
out last week to Mr.. Tehreen, his
brother-in-law, and a man by the
name of Speiggel, for 5000, cash
1t turns out that Mr.. Krebs had
become involved and claims were
pressing him hard. Refusing to
pay accounts, attachments have
been gotten out to the amount of
about $4,000. The grounds for the
attachments is that he disposed of
his goods in order to defraud his
creditors. Mr.. Speiggel is stran-
ger here, and claims that he came
here in answer to an advertisement
of Mr.. Krebs' in a New York paper.
He further claims that he furnish
ed the money that paid for the
goods. Krebs' creditors claim the
whole transaction fraud. Krebs
is the man who was sued in the
Circuit Court for damages by j.
Gordon. Gordon claiming he had
damaged his business by false
statements. Krebs has left the
city, and when last seen was foot
ing it on the Maysville pike in the
direction of Sharpsburg.

and energy is given In the history OF
the Eureka laundry, which was this
week located In elegant new quarters
on Washington avenue and Dix court
The Eureka Laundry company was
organized Jan. 10, 1891, and commenced
business in Carney, Brown g. Go. y
building at corner Of Adams avenue
and Linden street. Two small laun-
dries were absorbed by the now con-
Germ which embarked upon business
career with high aims. The business
at that time was placed in the hands Of
Mr.. John j. Van Mort. who has acted
as general manager Of the concern up
to the present. The condition of tho
establishment ct this date is evidence
Of the keen foresight and ability Of the
manager under whose administration q
thriving business has been developed
that covers goodly portion of the field
for fine laundry work In this city and
vicinity. Embarking In the enterprise
almost unknown to that particular line
of trade three years ago, the Eureka
Laundry company today gives evidence
Of the most fattering prosperity in the
control of large share Of the trade In
this valley.
90 The company has four fine delivery
wagons on the road and their trade
reaches every point of the city and up
through towns and down the valley

business are popular for uniform polite.

The business Of the laundry has In.

ters which were considered spacious
three years ago have long since been
too small for the proper handling of
the volume of weekly work, and the
company have been obliged to seek
more commodious apartments. Some
time ago they succeeded In purchasing
o fine property at 322 Washington ave-
nue. extending to Dix court upon
which the new home of the laundry
has been erected from plans by experts
who had in view the best facilities for
convenience and comfort of employees
as we'll as opportunities for rapid and
thorough work.
The new edifice which is three stories
high on the Washington avenue front
and four stories on Dix court is Il
model of Its kind and contains the
latest and most approved machinery
and appliances necessary for fine work.
