CLINE NESBIT
Meets Death in a Horrible Manner
Near Nortonville-Was Re-
turning From New
Orleans.
TWO SISTERS LIVE IN THIS CITY.

Cline Nesbit, about 81 years of
age, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. W.
w. Nesbit, of jacksonville, was
run over and killed by an /. @.
freight train between Daniel
Boone mine and Nortonville Fri
day afternoon. 1t is not known
Just how the unfortunate acct
dent occurred, but it is supposed
that he slipped and fell between
the cars.
Shortly after the train passed
Nortonyille he was found lying
by the track and it is supposed
that the jolting of the cars had
in some manner caused him to
lose his footing and when dis
covered twenty cars had passed
over HIM.
Two brothers of the unfortun-
ate young man and Undertaken
Ed Thompson, of jacksonville,
left Immediately for the scene of
the accident, returning Friday
midnight with the remains.
Though deprived in infancy of
speech and hearing by an at
tack of fever, he was a bright
and intelligent boy. He gradu-
ated from the deaf and dumb
school at Danville, KY, several
years ago with honors, winning a
scholarship in a college in Texas,
where he spent some time after
finishing his studies, in the tail
oring business.
Recently he went to New
Orleans, La, and engaged in the
merchant tailoring business. He
had been away from his people
for over a year.
He was a sober, industrious
hard working boy and his legion
of friends deeply deplore his
shocking death. He was a men,
Der of the Christian church. The
funeral services were held Sat-
urday afternoon at the family
residence in Madisonville, con-
Quoted by Ed. S. F. Fowler, af-
ter which the remains were in
tered at Grapevine Cemetery.
The deceased was a brother of
Mrs. Barton Crutchfield and Mrs.
B. B. Hackney, of this city.

SCHOOL CLOSES.
Darlington Public School Closed
Last Friday Night With an
Entertainment at Tenn
pie Theatre.
THE HOUSE WAS WELL FILLED.

The Darlington public school,
after ten months session, clos
ed last Friday, and the over
worked teachers and studious
scholars will enjoy a vacation.
The closing exercises took place
at the opera house before one of
the largest audiences ever assem-
sembled there. The entertain
ment was a splendid success and
the efficient principal, Miss Min
ME Bourland, and her able as
sistants, Prof. Deere, Misses Car
lin and Mothershead and Mrs.
Miller, deserve abundant praise
for the mastery way IN which
the children were trained, and
the delightful entertainment
given. First on the program was
a chorus, "Grumbling Tommy
and the Bells" by the little tots,
which was well received. Next
came the "Little w asherwomen,"
and then the sold time country
debate" that carried many of the
audience back to the days of
their early youth. The "March
of the Carnations" by nine little
girls dressed in pink was one of
the best events of the affair. The
''Ten Little Sunfowers" was cute
and original. This was by many
thought to be one of the best on
the program. The "Sunbonnet
March," by the large girls, was
exceedingly ludicrous and caus-
ed much demonstration of ap-
proval. The girls in this march
wore their bonnets and aprons
hind part before, with masks on
the back of their heads. The eff
feet when they stopped or bent
forward was laughable in the
extreme. The character Duet"
"Anvil Chorus' and "Handker-
chief Drill'' were all good and it
is safe to say no entertainment
ever given at the opera house
was more enjoyed than this one.

A Summer Home.

A modern Southern home, IL.
Illustrated in the Delineator for
July, commends itself not only
to those who dwell in torrid
zones but as we'll to those In
Northern parts who build with
an aim of lessening the discom-
forts of the Summer climate. In
the exterior Portland cement and
rough sawed chestnut, gray
stained, are the main factors,
giving solidity that is well cal
culated to resist the rays of the
sun, without, however, sacrific-
ing the artistic possibilities.
Commodious, high ceiled rooms
and green wood work within con-
tribute to the appearance of cool
ness, while a quaint effect is CIV
en- by the furnishings and deco
rations. Cozy lnglenooks and
interesting mantels are other at.
tractive features of this summer

DAN LOVAN GOES WRONG.
A Trusted EmpIoye of the Kinston-WoIf
Coal Co. Leaves With $500 OF
the Company's Cash.

On last Saturday Mr.. Kington,
manager of the Kingdom Wolf
Coal Co., near Mortons Gap, gave
to Dan Lovan checks to the
amount of 5000 and $500 in cash,
with instructions to take the
checks and money to Madison
vile and deposit same In bank.
Lovan has been in the employ
of the company for some time
and was regarded as trust
worthy, reliable young man. He
went to jacksonville and depos-
tied the checks, but it is alleged
that the cash remained with Low
an and went with HIM to parts
unknown. Nothing has been
heard of him since he deposited
the checks, and his action in
off with the money was
a considerable surprise to those
who know him.
Lovan is about 80 years of age,
and lived at Mortons Gap, where
he left a wife and children. The
company has taken steps toward
apprehending and prosecuting
LovaD.

PRESS GANG.
Kentucky Editors Net in Louis
vile and President Paul N.
Moore tells Of the Work
Of the Association.
LEFT FOR ST. LOUIS MONDAY NIGHT.

The annual meeting of the
Kentucky Press Association took
place at the Louisville Hotel
Monday afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
The principal business before
the meeting was the reading of
the presidents address, election
of officers, the consideration of
motion for the appointment of a
committee TO revise the constitu-
tion and bylaws of the associa-
tion and the discussion of foreign
advertising rates.
w. |. Adams was appointed to
succeed j. II. Westover resigned
as the Kentucky representative
to the National Editorial Associa-
ton.
The present officers of the as
ISOLATION are: President, Paul
M. Moore; Vice President, Louis
Landram; Secretary, r. K. Morn
ingstar; Chairman of the Ex-
ecutixe Committee, E. A. Gull
lion; Members of the Executive
Committee, Lew B. Brown,
Desha Breckenridge, Tom G. I'm
derwood and Heber Matthews.
Louis Landram, the well known
editor of the Lancaster Record,
was elected to succeed Paul M.
Moore and K. A. Gullion, of the
Newcastle Local, was elected
vice president. r. K. Morning
star was again elected Secre-
tary. The new executive COM
mittee will be appointed by the
incoming president in few
days after the adjournment of
the association.
Work Of the Association.
President Moore, in speaking
of the work of the Kentucky
Press Association said:
The association has been steadily
growing towards a business basis
within the past few years and the
old criticism that we are out only
for lark is no longer applicable.
Our midwinter sessions are given
up to business and the annual meet
ing is not entirely a jolly outing.
We feel as If we had been at work
and had accomplished some good.
AS result of this tendency toward
business some of the old guard, who
had dropped out, are becoming in
terested again and are taking part
in the work of association. At
Frankfort last winter, through the
efforts of association, legislation in
furious to the newspaper business
was prevented. We are working
upon the subject of foreign adver-
Using and we intend to secure a
constitution which shall be bust
nesslike in its provisions. These
subjects will be considered in the
presidents annual address. On the
whole the condition of the associa-
ton is good and the prospect is for
even better things.

went to st. Louis.

The First Riding Lesson.

The pupil Of a good riding master is
usually disappointed at not being al
lowed to do more in the first lesson
He expects to mount the horse at once.
start off with a trot and wind up with
q canter. He is a little annoyed upon
finding that the first lesson consists
almost wholly Of oral instruction and a
great part of it on foot at that. II
the master is conscientious he will not
permit the anxiety to be off and doing
to interfere with a proper understand
Ing of the A B G Of the art. Should the
beginner apply at one of the big riding
academies In New York for instruction
the first lesson will begin with the
leading by a groom Of a horse, bridIed
and saddled, into the center of the ring.
The riding master and the pupil take
their stand close by, and the former
begins to explain painstakingIy the va
rious parts Of the saddle and bridIeI
and their purposes. Before anythingI
further Is attempted the pupil must
be able to answer simple questions in |
regard to the pommel and the cantIe,
the curb and the snaff1e, and TO know
the uses Of the two bits.

ideas, and has fully demonstrated his
ability. The Sunday School Union
was paralyzed when the General
Church placed it in his hands His
business achievements there have been
marvellous. To-day that is the most
business-like and successful depart
ment in the church. Dr. Chappelle
is an economist, and yet broad and
liberal He has stood out in open de-
fiance against church lOOters and
money grabbers. He has rightfully
cOntended for the just appropriations
of the General Connectional Fund, and
openly opposed the extravagant squan-
derings of the church money. AS a
debater he is matchless, always clear
and logical. He is scholarly and pro-
found as a preacher. DR.. Chappelle
is abreast with the times, and a true
representative of the church and race.
That his reelection to the Sunday
School Union, should he desire it, goes
beyond question. No thoughtful man
in the church would dare think of
displacing him for another. But Mr..
Chappelle is needed most on the |
Bench of Bishops. His force of char |
acter and sterling ability more fits
him for the episcopacy at this time, |
than any other candidate before the |
church. The General Conference would \
make no mistake in electing him.
From all sections of the church the
far-sighted men are saying that the
man the church needs at this time to
associate and strengthen the Iabors of
the other good men on the bench, is
w. D. Chappelle. The writer candid
ly believes that he will be the fore
most candidate for the Episcopacy
Not that he will wage a campaign for
himself, but the General Church will
demand his promotion, based solely
upon fitness and character. True the
church has many other good men,
such as Drs. H. B. Parks, H. T. John
son, J. M. Connor, Joshua Jones, T. N.
M. Smith, A. J. Garcey and others, but
the times and conditions of the church
demands a man of DR.. ChapelIe's
stamp.
DIR. TICE FOR BUSINESS MANAGER. ,
One of the most phenomenal char
acters in the A NJ E. Church to-day
is DR.. S. Timothy Tice. He in many ]
respects is the young H. M. Turner J
and the erudite D. A Payne combined s
in a strange manner. Dr. Tice is
young man., born and reared in Flor c
ida He has worked his way up from c
a country urchin, out of ignorance F
and poverty, educated himself and
wife unaided and unfavored, he has

length concerning Drs. ChappeIle and
Tice, because they are two of the most
forceful characters before the church
to be reckOned with. Both are great
credits to African Methodism and the
race. But the church does not only
need Bishops and General officers. but
it must have a trained ministry. The
General Conference should place Payne
Theological Seminary on firm basis,
and place at its head one of its ripest
scholars and profound theoIogians. No
man is more eminentIy fitted for this
exalted station than DR. H. T. Johnson.
the erudite editor of the Christian
Recorder. The writer was forced to
this conclusion after hearing this great
divine preach in Chicago, at Bethel
Church, March 13. DR.. Johnson should
be elected Dean of Payne Seminary,
and paid direct from the financial de-
partment at least $1,000 per annum,
and should be classed in the general
law-making body, as q general officer.
If he is not elected Bishop the church
By all means should place him at the
head of Payne. That the General Con
ference will elect more Bishops since
the true light has been turned on, and
the real situation understood, is evil
dent. Mr.. Editor, as I see it, and
CLEAN from what I hear coming from
every section of the church to Chicago,
sums itself up thus: The election of
two or more Bishops, Drs. w. D. Chap
