Rev. Zephaniah Meek, ID. D., is 3

Rev. Zephaniah Meek, ID. d., is a
household name all over the South.
Since 1867 he has owned and edited
the "Central Methodist" the leading
paper Of the Methodist Episcopal
church in the South. He represented
his state at the general conference.
| He was one of the Kentucky COM
missioners at the Chicago Columbian
exposition. During his ministry in
the South he has built and dedicated
five chapels. He writes from Catletrs-
burg, KY, where his home is, as fol-
lows:
81 have used several bottles Of
Paine's celery compound for nervous
trouble, resulting from overwork, and
with immediate effect as well as per-
manent benefit. 1t is the best nerve
tonic that | have ever tried. 1t has
also been used in my family with
benefit"
Tired-out, half-sick men and women
need something more than mere
rest. They need positive, unmis-
taxable nerve food; they must have a
reserve of nerve-force to draw from
before their heads will cease to ache
and their nerves cease to tremble from
neuralgia.
It's estimated that there are over
ten million nerve fibres in the body.
So long as these minute tissues are
kept fully nourished one lives in bliss
full ignorance of any such thing as
neuralgia, headaches, or even ner-
vous system, but let one become run
down" and the nutrition OF the body
get low, and every one of these myriad
fibres becomes "live wire" within the
flesh. Headaches, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism and other forms Of nervousness
and debility result directly from a
famished nervous system. Paine's
celery compound is able to correct this
faulty condition. 1t builds up the
nervous system and sustains it. The
brain at once feels the strengthening

/ effects of the superb nutrimenI. There
are thousands OF men and women to-
day who have been enabled to keep
vigorously at work who must have
given up but for Paine's celery COM
pound.
Nervous affections are warning to-
busy people.
AT the earliest stage OF reduced
nervc-force, inability to sleep, langnor-
or a gloomy habit OF mind, everyone
should look Immediately to the nutri-
tion of the nervous system and the
purity Of the blood. Paine's celery
compound will attend to both of these
urgent needs more thoroughly and
more speedily than anything else in
the world. Paine's celery compound
is not to be confounded withsthe COM
mon preparations, the sarsaparillas
and nervines. Being the discovery Of
man OF science. Prof. Edward Z.
Phelps, M. D., LII. d., Of Dartmouth
college, it has the support Of the best
physicians; they prescribe it uniyer-
sally, and the many sick persons
made well by its use prove that that
support is merited.
To the great majority of business
men vacation, to say nothing of
three months Of complete inactivity, is
out Of the question at this season, even
when their brains demand complete
rest and their nerves ache and threat
en- them with prostration. Now, there
are hundreds of business men and
hard-worked professional men in this
city in just this condition. What are
they to do? Those who are tired out,
"run down" and debilitated at this
trying season will do well to read some
of the straightforward and convincing
statements from the men and women
who have been cured by Paine's celery
compound.
Nervous weakness vanishes before
Paine's celery compound as mist be-
fore the strong, health-giving rays Of
the sun. Convince yourself Of the fact
at once, if your health is at all inn
paired.

on why oil and gas may not be
found here as we'll as in the
mountainous regions further
north. There are strong iudica

where there is gas, oil is nearly
always found. / have no "axo
to grind" here as I am only q
visitor, so my opinion can go for
what it will fetch, but probably
it is worth as much as any per
sons who has not been among
the gas and oil wells. / see also

really would it not be OF more

Hence the remark, although We
concede that Bledsoe, being tc

aud other counties, where oil
wells are now being driven

that where ever coal abouuds oil
may be expected. We have

a Pathetically Humorous story Told OF a

tells pathetically humorous story Of

an honest man. and did not enjoy being
in debt

MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.
But Has Not the Intelligence to KindIe 4
Fire with Them.

But Has Not the Intelligence to KindIe
Fire with Them.
No creature but man has ever made
use Of fire. An African traveller, indeed.
has told story of apes making a thiev-
ing raid on a camp of natives. and car
rylhg torches 70 light their way; but
this story lacks proof. and is not ac-
cepted as true by biologists.
There is, however, says the Youths
Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi-
cal garden a monkey who has learned to
scratch matches perfectly well. This
accomplishment he is willing to exhibit
on any occasion. He has learned to hold
the match oy its middle part. SO thar
MS fingers are not burned by being too
near the flame, and so that the match
VIII not break by being held TOO near the
other end.
This fact involves another, that he is
aware which end has the sulphur. and
does not attempt t. scratch the unsul-
phured end. lie has furthermore
learned that a rough surface is better to
scratch the match on than a smooth one.
and his care in looking for the rough
places is very diverting..
But with all these intelligenees. the
monkey has no notion of kindling an
other fire with the one that he has
caused by the friction of the match. He
simply let's the match burn out, and if
he lights another. does it for the pleas.
ure Of seeing it burn
This monkeys keepers, and the men
Of science who are NperimentiDg with
his intelligence, hope to communicate
to him eventually an idea of fire making
and using; but from the moment they
succeed in doing so-if they ever do sue
ceed-it viii be necessary to keep
matches out Of his reach.
