Miss TerriIrs Wonderful Escape From
Death In a Railway Accident.


The only lady passenger on a train
from st. Louis one night last week
was Miss Ethel Terrill, of this city.
She occupied lower berth No. 6 in the
sleeper, which left St. Louis in the
evening. The train was nearly TWO
hours behind time, and the speed at
times was frighful. Miss Terrill tells
of her awful experience thus:
ut was just at dawn that I was sud
denly awakened by a crash that, in
my half dazed condition, sounded like
the explosion of a thousand cannons
such as Capt. Wygant used to fire when
my sister Mabel was Sponsor for the
Central University Battalion.
"Just think of it. My head was
jammed into the renotest recesses of
the berth and then OF sudden Twas car
ried as il on wings sidewise until the
car settled on its side, thirty feet from
the track down an embankment. l was
imprisoned! The floor of the car,
every section, the root, all, all was a
shattered mass. Alone OF all the berths
mine Twas unbroken, but there l lay
with the heavy beams above me so
that l could not move. ] was too
! frightened to utter a cry. Presently
the train men, having been notified, L
suppose, that was in the ruins, began
TO cut and carry away the timber about
me. At last L was lifted out-and
strange as it may seem, was perfectly
safe, absolutely uniDiured."
Miss Terrill described further the es-
eapesIof other passengers, one Of whom,
when he awoke, was lying in his berth
on the track with the car wheels six
inches from his head. There were sew
eral injured but none fatally. The
wreck occurred on sharp curve just at
the end of bridge. Every car was
overturned, some being hurled sixty
feet from the track. Miss Terrilfs
car stopped in its mad career just safe
on land-the river a, few feet away
which, she said, was an escape after all
from death by the flood.
AS if to test her endurance, after she
reached this city, at midnight, Miss
Terrill was given another fright. The
driver Of the omnibus fell from his seat
and she driverless horses pulled the bus
down the hill nearly to Earrings Mil
before being checked.

cHENAuLI-SPEARS.

The community was treated to de-
lightful surprise last Thursday when a
telegram from Lexington announced
the marriage in that city of Miss Bes-
sic Spears and Mr.. Joe Chenault. To
only very few intimate friends was
any previous notice given, so that to
the greater portion of the community
the announcement produced a big sur
prise. And yet it was not a surprise,
for the eternal fitness of the union
sanctifed and blessed it. They have
been sweethearts ever since they met
while children six years ago, when Miss
Bessie was the youngest pupil of Mad
ison Institute and Joe a good student
and athlete at Central University, while
in vacation spending his time indus
triously on the farm. In fact neither
had ever loved before; have loved no
other since, Their long courtship has
been marked by singleness of pur-
pose that surprised no one when it
eventuated, as it should have, last
Thursday.
The ceremony took place at the home
OF the BRIDES aunt, Mrs. Sarah Land
and the former beloved preceptor of
Miss Spears, Rev. B. C. Hagerman, pro-
nounced the words that made them
twain one flesh.
They returned home at o'clock and

dence of the grOOm's grandparents, Mr.

the Yarmest welcome awaited them.
Few couples have bee then recipients of
more kindly remark, for both have a
host OF admiring friends. Both are too
well and favorably known to need ex-
tended comment. The bride, who was
graduated from Madison Institute in
1898, is a daughter. of Mr.. and Mrs. r.
f. Spears, of Jessamine. She is a sis
tea of Mrs. Ben f. Boggs, Mrs. T. T.
Covington and Mrs. r. E. Turley, of this
city. Her lovable disposition, enhanced
by a sweet Inconsistencies of her
beauty and attractiveness, eompels the
admiration of all. OF her young hus-
band We can speak in only the kindliest
terms. Our friend from his boyhood,
we found him faithful without Boosting,
industrious, and thoroughly capable of
making an independent livelihood, and
of providing a home meet for such a
treasure as he hass:won. We voice the
well-wishes of all their friends in ask
ing Gods blessing on their marriage.

The CLIMAX directs attention TO the
card of Drs. Grinstead & Murphey,

A Bio Land Deal.

Concerning one of the largest land
deals made in Eastern Kentucky, the
Lexington Leader of Friday says:
Mr.. G. E. Smith, of Richmond, KY,
the largest promoter of real estate deals
in Kentucky, is here to-day. Mr..
Smith has just closed one of the largest
deals made in recent years in Eastern
Kentucky, the purchasers being an
English syndicate. The developments
in Eastern Kentucky during the next
few years, it is claimed, will make mill
ionaires out of those investing at this
time. The construction of the Black
Diamond railroad into that section
will open up the finest coal and timber
lands in the world, and the output will
prove profitable to the ones who are
now purchasing land in that section. Mr..
Smith will leave Tomorrow for Chicago
on business trip and he expects to
close a sale of l25,G0O acres of land in
Eastern Kentucky.

First.-Is not the purchasing power
of the dollar greater now than it was
from 1880 to 1892?
Second.-If its purchasing power is
greater, does it not take more labor
produce or merchandise to get dollar!
Third.-lf so, does it not mean that
in proportion to the amount of business
labor, produce, etc, there are fewer
dollars in circulation?
Fourth.-Is the debt or tax paying
power Of the dollar any greater now
than il was from 1880 to 1892?
Fifth.-Does it not take more labor
or farm produce 10 pay a debt OF 500
now than it did in said period?
Sixth.-If it does, will not creditor
who holds a note or mortgage drawn be-
fore 1892, get relatively more for such a
note or mortgage than the debtor con-
tracted to pay?
Seventh.-Would there be any in
Justice to the creditor in restoring the
