the world was the greatest event in its
history. 1t is appropriate for us to medl-
tate upon the prophetic statement OF the
angel in his announcement to Mary, the
mother of the cEild, of her selection by
God for this great honor: among other
things. he said of the child: He shall be

He was great in the announcement of
his birth. The angel of God announced

Many have striven with might and

denly yielded up the ghost. The architect
of the wonderful Brooklyn Bridge ceased

Jesse Eaton shot a negro NAM
ed Nels Daniel at the ball ground
Sunday evening, inflicting a flesh
wound in the hip. Eaton was
accosted on the street Saturday
night by the negro and at the
point of a pistol began to built
rag Eaton who was greatly in
tipidated by the negro. When
Eaton saw the fiend Sunday even
ing, he asked him if he was the
bully that had so badly treated
him the night before. The me-
gro said he was and threw his
hand to his hip pocket as if he
was ready to resent any remon-
STRANGE or rebuke Eaton might
Justly make for his conduct the
night before. Eaton was too
quick for him, however and drew
his weapon first and shot the ne
gro with above mentioned re-
suits.
Eaton was cleared of the charge
on examining trial Tuesday. The
negro will answer to the charge
of firing a gun on the streets and
using boisterous and abusive
language.

Kentuckians who have emf
grated to Oklahoma are being
washed away, and their houses
are being flooded and hoated
down the streams, in Missouri
and Kansas they are being blown
away together with their houses
and household goods. We guess
these people will learn after a.
while that all is not glod that
glitters, and that these states
have drawbacks as well as the
billy portions Of Kentucky which
is, by the way, the best all around

raise at least this amount, and if
we do not, we will be rightly brand

p. L. Hume sold three fine horses
in Mt. Sterling Monday at an aver
age price of Sl75.
VIM. Snowden left yesterday
morning for Judy, Montgomery
county, where he was called TO the
bedside of his niece, Mrs. Lee Colt,
who has been at the point of death
for several weeks.
Ed. II. Q. Martin, of Winches-
ter, will preach at the Christian
Church on Station camp the fourth
Sunday in each month. Owing to
the condition of the roads he has
not been here since March.
A movement is now on foot TO re-
organize the Irvine Brass Band.
There are several of the old members
who, together with the musical tai
ent of number of our town boys,
could, in short time, revive sweet
memories of long ago.
1t is reported that Prof. Throop,
of Mt. Sterling, well known through
out this county as one of the most
efficient teachers in the State, is
shortly to undergo an operation
which is likely to prove fatal. He
has written to the Methodist church
here for his letter, that he may be in
immediate connection with the
church should the worst come. His
many friends and admirers here
will await the result of the opera
ton with the greatest of anxiety.
Clabe Adams and Albert Thorn
as, cousins, engaged in a shooting
ARRAY yesterday as the result of an
old grudge. The men met in the
road, near Pamela, and Thomas or
dered Adams toget out of the road.
Upon Adams refusal Thomas drew
his pistol. Adams, however, was
too quick for him and got in the
first shot. Several shots were ex-
changed but neither were struck.
Adams came to Irvine on the noon
train and gave himself over to the
officers after having warrant issu-
ed for Thomas.

Very Rigid Examinations.

The May examination for,teach-
er's certificates was exceptionally
rigid. 1t is reported that by some
means the original questions were
obtained and printed by some un-
known parties and were freely dis
posed of over parts of the State,
and when the State board of exam
iners learned of the fact they issu-
ed a new lot of questions and ques-
tions that were far more difficult to
answer than the original ones.

EstiII Republicans Can't Agree.

The Republicans of Estill
county met in convention at IT.
vine Monday, May IS, to nomi-
nate a candidate for Circuit
Clerk. The convention was, or
now is, composed of delegates
from each precinct in the coun-
ty, twenty in all. A dead lock
resulted in the selection of a
chairman, the contending parties
being Judge w. III. Lilly and
present county Judge o. X. No
land. From last reports no "a
greement could be reached by
the body as to who should be the
chairman and we understand
that should the convention get
down TO work there will also be
a dead lock in the vote which
will be equally as hard to break.
1t is stated that Witt, one of the
two leading candidates offers to
withdraw if Wallace his equal
opponent will do likewise. This
Wallace will not consent TO do.
Though the convention met sew
eral days ago, the end seems to be
no nearer at hand than at the
beginning, according to last af-t
counts. The County COMMITTEES
has been called on for relief as a
last resort.
