RELIGIOUS.

The White Oak Pond will observe
children's day for foreign mission next
Sunday evening. The children will
render a beautiful program. Every
one is invited to be present.
A scholarly address was that of Rev.
Thos. S. Hubert, at the Methodist
church Sunday morning. 1t was from
an unusual Iext: Act. 1873: "These
were more noble than those of Thessa-
lOnica, in that they received the word
of God IN their hearts and searched
the scriptures" Thus, from one phase
of the beautiful sermon we found that
there is after all an aristocracy on
earth, class, caste, strata of society
but it is a nobility of God, and not OF
mans standard. Mans standard is i'm
perfect, Gods perfect; hence the vast
discrepancy in His judgment and ours.
This suggests the danger of artificial
distinctions, which retard the dawn oil
universal brotherhood of man and rem
der void the preaching of Love for
thy neighbor. II we could trace our
ancestry back to the Norman Conquer
ors, or beyond TO the Saxon Kings, it
would no more increase our respecta-
biity in the sight of God, hence no
more respectable at all. The biblical
standard of nobility seems to have
been based upon the hearing and
searching of the scriptures, and in
obeying their teachings, as is set forth
in the text. We may be sure of coro-
net in heaven though we wear crown
of thOrns on earth, if we strive to be
come one of that nobility which, hear
ing the Lords words, doeth his COM
mands. Mr.. Hubert's sermons are
always powerful, beautiful expositions
of unusual texts, and we do not wonder
that his congregation is proud of him
and give him large and attentive audi
ences. A more scholarly preacher OIL
devoted pastor has never filed that
pulpit.

DEATHS

PARK.-Just as Sunday morning was
ushered in, death visited the home OF
Judge w. w. Park, near West Irvine,
and took therefrom his oldest daughter
Mrs. w. II. Simpson who had suf-
fered for more than twelve months
with that dread malady, consumption.
Deceased had just passed her twenty
sixth birthday.
Mrs. Simpson was taken from her
home near White Hall, this county,
seven weeks ago, to that OF her father
in Estill, with the hope that the change
would prolong her life. but the grim
destroyer had clasped his icy hands on
that fair form and claimed it as his own.
The constant attention of skilled ply
sicians and the careful watching of
husband, father, mother, brothers and
sisters could only ALLEVIATE her suffer
ing and bring a peaceful end.
Beside her parents, deceased leaves a
husband and two children, aged two and
five years, respectively, to mourn heI
loss. She was a deyout member of the
Methodist church, and her remains
we're accompanied, besides friends and
relatives, by Rev. Edward Allen, pastor

lryine's Briuht PrOsuecls.

The senior editor of the CLIMAX in
company with DR.. q. w. Evans, was in
Irvine last week. We were greatly
surprised to notice the wide-awake
movements of this little town that has
apparently been asleep for the last ten
years. Irvine never had a boom as
most mountain towns did during the
boom days. Only one day during those
stirring times did the speculative spirit
strike Irvine and after that exciting
day, in which many thousands of dollars
worth of property changed hands, the
old town dropped back into the even
tenor of its former self and has thus re-
manned to to this day, to the great con-
sternation and financial distress of
those present on that boom day.
On our arrival at Irvine we were in
vited by Senator J. M. Thomas to par
take of the hospitality of the Estill
Springs. We accepted his courteous
offer and no guests more heartily en-
joyed the attention of a generous host.
Senator Thomas has spared neither
time nor money to make this famous
summer resort one of the most attract
i've in the South. Every modern i'm
provement for the comfort of guests has
been attached to the hotel, a landscape
gardener has laid out the walks in a
new and attractive way, and beautiful
flowers and rare plants delight the eyes
from every point in the spacious
grounds. We have no hesitancy in pre-
dieting that Senator Thomas and his
sons will make this most attractive re-
sort more delightful during the present
season than ever before.
The lumber interests are fairly alive
in Irvine. More than two hundred
men are constantly employed. We Wis
tied the Megan-Fawke mill and was
delighted to see a veritable bee hive of
workers, there being over fifty men at
work in this mill. Mr.. Graham, the
polite superintendent OF the company's
works, showed us the entire working OF
the mill and explained everything IN a
way that showed he was thoroughly
acquainted with the business. He in
formed us that the company made its
first shipment on tine 23d ult, to Liver
pool via Montreal, Canada. The COM
pany has on hand large quantity of
white oak lumber, all of which will be
shipped to Liverpool. We were greatly
surprised to learn that this lumber
goes through Canada to the sea board
when Newport News or some other
American port is so much nearer.
We predict bright future for Irvine.
1t is one of the very few places on the
Kentucky river where a city can be
built, and now that business has re-
vived each citizen should put his shout
der to the wheel of progress and never
let its revolutions be backward.

InimitabIe Sam Jones. Two Weeks Here
in The Fall

TIE audience that filed the Masonic
Temple Saturday evening heard the
unrivaled orator whose name adorns
this article, with wonder, delight and
profit, let us hope. 1t was his third APP

to hear man who for twenty years has

merest and barest statement of fact to
say that Sam Jones is the most widely
known observation-disclosures in the world.
The calls for service every year adj
dressed him are more than ten men
could accept. 1t is known that in the
conferences of the Methodist church
there are over Eve hundred ministers
who were converted under his preach
ing, and a conservative estimate places
the number of those who have Joined
different churches in his meetings, at
more than half million If man is
to be known by his works-and the
Bible says so-Sam Jones is one OF, il
not the foremost character in the last
years OF the century.
OF course he is criticised; sometimes
that is very rarely, Justly, generally
uniustly. Instead of calling him ugly

Out For County Clerk.

So many good men are out for the
Democratic domination for county
offices that it taxes our capacity to vary
the wording of our observation upon
their candidacy and their fitness for the
office. We endeavor to tell the truth
and he sincere.
In this connection we have pleasure
i'm commencing to the Democracy OF
the county our young friend, Mr.. David
K. Tevis, who desires to be the nomi-
nee of his party for county clerk. He
is worthy of the honor and would make
a strong canvass and a fine clerk. His
lamented father filed the office most
acceptably and the son would equal
his record in all respects. His indus
try, sobriety, and ability have won him
recognition as oneOf our safest business
men, and sa a clerk of the county all
would have confidence in him.

Puritan WickIess Blue Flame Oil Stove.

We are agents for a wickless oil stoves
and are able to offer the public the
best wickless stove on the market
The most simple in construction and
most perfect in operation.
The Puritan is the best and most
economical stove to be had for summer
cooking. 1t is absolutely safe and odor-
Jess. More economical than coal, wood
or gasoline.
An important feature over other stoves
is, that the valves are at the side,
which avoids the discomfort and dan
ger of reaching over the hot flame to
operate it.
Our stoves have four-inch burners
where others have smaller ones, which
gives the Puritan great advantage in
quick cooking.
The large shelf on the stoves will be
found convenient. Every stove is
guaranteed TO give satisfaction. Call
and examine our line before going else

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an Inflammation

have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when il is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
