Famous Beer.

The famous -Maulhaeuser
Brewing Co, of Cincinnati, has made
itself famous the wo,ld over for its ex-
cellent quality of beers. The use of the
Pale Lion Export is no longer con-

ally recognized by physicians for its
nutritine and health-giving qualities,
that it has become necessity. Those
who have never used it to quench their
thirst or experienced its exhilaratiDg
effects, should give this famous beer a
trial, will pronounce it the criterian OF
all bottled beers.

OIL NEWS.
A Great Boom In Wayne
County.

Never in the history of the oil indus
try of Kentucky has there been more
excitement or greater surprise than the
gusher which was brought in Wednes-
day in Wayne county. This well at
depth Of SO feet struck an oil sand 36
feet thick, and when the drill was re-
moved the oil flowed ten feet above the
derrick. Oh men say without any hesi-
alton hat this is the best well that has
been discovert d in the county and opens
up great oil field, resembling more
the Pennsylvania oil fields than any
thing which has yet been discovered in
Kentucky
The leases are selling at $40 per acre
five miles from the well, and great ex-
element prevails throughout the county.
For ten days only the Bell Oil & Gas
Co. have decided to sell a limited
number of shares at SIS per share, par
value $10 This company will put
down three wells at once within LOCO
feet of this gusher on their lease of $50
acres which adjoins the we'll. They are
as certain to strike oil as it is possible to
be under such favorable surroundings.
The company owns over 1900 acres in
Wayne County and has 5000 acres in
other producing counties. The company
is composed of some of the leading men
in Lexington. Monticello and Michigan.
Those desiring safe investment should
act quick, for there is only limited
number of shares for sale and the limit
of time is ten days.

W~hiteville, N. c.. July 16.-There has
prevailed an eruptive disease in diff
ferent sections of this county for the
past six months and has been pro-
nounced by DR.. Tayloe, state small pox
inspector, as a very mild form of
varioloid.
1t was thought at first it was COM
MOI chicken pox as there has been ff~
ty or more cases in the town of White
vile, the disease generally lasting from
two to six days. No one mas suffered
much inconvenience and very few
have any lasting marks from the pest.
DR.. Tayloe. Of Washington. N. c., Wis
tied our town last week by order OF
DR.. r. II. Lewis. secretary Of the board
of health. who gave it a thorough dag
nosls and reported it as stated bove.
There IS only one Or two cases IN
town now and they are about well.
There are reported going the rounds
throughout the county which tends to
injure the town and the rumor that
there are a numbe of cases in and
around the town is a gross exaggera-
ton and calculated to do the county a
great damage.
There is no danger Of contracting the
disease and those who desire to visit
the town either on business or pleas
ure need not be afraid in the least.
