Memorial Serxioes.

Last Sunday was the day set apart by
the 1. o. o. F. lodge, to pay tributes of
love and respect to their departed
brothers and to strew their graves with
beautiful flowers. At two p. m. the
members assembled at the Temple and
marched to the cemetery headed bv
the Richmond silver band. There were
about one hundred Odd Fellows in
line. and all in regalia. made a most
imposing spectacle. The ceremonies
were brief but beautiful and appro-
pirate, and this annual custom is one
that deserves special notice. A large
crowd assembled 10 witness the exer-
cises which were opened by Mr.. B.
Juett, who was acting Noble Grand.
Mr. G. E. Woods took the part of Chap
lin. and the address was delivered by
Judge ]. @. Chenault in his own earn
est and impressive style. Emblems OF
love in the form Of beautiful flowers
were then placed on the green mounds
under which rest the bodies of the de-
parted members of the order. Those
who have gone before are only links
that binds the living ones TO the great
eternity and this annual memorial SER
vice draws the surviving members
closer to one another.

Knows Mona viii Cure
B. L. Middleton has Such Faith in This Great
Dyspepsia Remedy That he Guarantees It

1t is an unusual thing for a druggist
to sell medicine under a guarantee to
refund the money if it does not cure.
Yet this is the way B. L. Middleton,
the popular druggist is selling Mi-Ona
the standard dyspepsia remedy.
Never before has he had so large
a number OF customers tell him that
medicine has cured as with Mona
People who few months ago looked
like walking skeletons have. put On
flesh and today are ruddY and vigor-
Gus with perfect digestion and good
health, solely due to the use Of this
remedy.
There is no longer any need of any
one suffering or making their friends
suffer on account of dyspepsia, for Mi
o-na can be relied upon to cure The
percentage of cures is so nearly one
hundred per cent that there is little
risk to B. L. Middleton in guaranteeing
to refund the money if the medicine
does not cure, and he stands ready to
do so without any questions.
Headaches, all forms of indigestion,
specks before the eyes, dizzy feelings,
poor sleep, ringing in the ears and all
forms of liver trouble are cured by
Mi-o-na, price SOC. A few days treat
ment shows considerable gain in health
and cure speedily follows,
These days are the best in the'whole
year for the enjoyment of good health.
And Mi-o-na will put you in such per
feet condition that you can enjoy every
minute of them.

Automobile Lire to Lexington.

Whether he means it to be a serious
proposition or a mere play TO the imagi-
nations of bis readers during the super
heated term. Col. Breckenridge editor
ializes thus upon the possibility Of put
ting automobile schedules between
Rlchnond and Lexington. And tnia is
the plausible theory upon which he
works out pretty and interesting story:
sour readers may recall that some
weeks ago we expressed our surprise
that some of the enterprising citizens
had not organ lied automobile compa-
MES to run between Versailles, Rich
mond, Nicholasville, Winchester and
Lexington. We are reliably informed
that automobiles of forty-horse- power
capable OF comfortably seating and
transporting twenty passengers can be
purchased for about So coo Ten thous-
and dollars would purchase aud equip
three automobiles and provide barns
and other absolute necessaries. Three
machines would be sufficient for BUSH
ness between either Versailles, Win
chester, NichOlasvilIe and Lexington !;
cash capital Of 50 900 would be suffi-
cient to common. business; in other
words $4,000 would be sufficient TO
make the business pay between either
of these shire towns and Lexington.
1.-THE bonds issued by the traction
company owning the interurban tIollev
lines from Paris and Georgetown, or
authorized TO be issued. are 100000:
the interest on the bonds the cost Of
repairs and the current expense must
be made out Of the business. The auto
mobiles require no franchise, no rights
Of way, no bonds, no power house.
Each is an Independent line to itself.
This experiment has proven a deci
dedl success in many parts of the coun
try in which there are not the admira-
BILE turnpikes which traverse this blue
grass section; and the turn pixies to Yer
sailles, Nicholasville, Winchester ant
Richmond are sineularly and admira
bly, adapted for automobiles. The es
adjustment Of such lines between thes'
touT thriving cities and Lexington, tn
regular running Of such lines on thos
four tusnpikes through such rich ant
populous country would pay handsome
~ to the investors.

To Finish GOebel Monument.

SignOr D. Moretti. the famous New
York sculptor, who with w. P. Adams
d Sons, of Lexington, has the erection
of the GOebel monument, arrived in
Lexington last week, He comes for
the purpose of setting up the model of
the monument which he has completed
and to have 1t in readiness for the COM
mittee to inspect the first of next week.
The committee is composed of Senator
j. B McCrearv, Governor Beckham,
Hon. Arthur Goebel, Hon. Lewis Nc
QuOwn, DR. f. d. Hume, Mrs. C. c.
McCOrd, Mrs q. II. Lewis and Mrs.
Edward Finnell.
The model of the statue that is to be
erected arrived several weeks ago. II
was first made of clay and then execu.
ted in plaster of paris. 1t is 10 feet in
height and from it the statue of Cover.
nor GOebel will be made in bronze.
F. The work on the model has been de-
layed for months on account of the
statue of Vulcan by Signor Moretti
This statue of Vulcan is next to the
largest statue III the world, it being &C
feet in height. The largest statue in
the world is the statue of liberty in
New York harbor. The statue of Vul.
can is now on exhibition at the Worlds

a vote of five to four, refused to renew
saloon licenses in this district. In the

EStill Springs.

With the mention of Estill Springs
there comes longing for that grand
old place where all nature CLEANS out
so beautifully and thrills the inmost
depths of the human soul. This splen-
did resort is now open to the public,
in fact has been since the first of May.
People can hardly wait for the opening
when they can go and revel and rest
in natures own abode and are loathe
to leave even after frost has tinged the
air and the leaves begin to take on a
scared and yellow look. Quite a num-
Der of guests are at the springs now
and many orders for rooms have been
received. The management of this
popular resort is still in the hands OF
that courteous and cOngenial gentle
man, Mr.. w. X. Thomas. The whole
place has been renovated and every
thing is in apple pie order. The first
excursion of the season was run on
last Thursday and a nice crowd enjoy
ed pleasant day at the springs Ev-
erything is promising for a record
breaking season.

Dear Sir:

June, l, 1904.
Dear Sir:
Rece.tly l had occasion to make
trip through Arkansas and Missouri,
and observed some things which /
think will he OF interest to the readers
of your paper. Although an old state,
it is only Of recent date that Arkansas
has enjoyed her greatest period of pros
perity and Development.
Passing from Memphis to Texarkana,
one sees evidence al the fact that the
lumber business is one of the leading
industries of the state and will be for
number Of years to cone. From a
sportsman's standpoint of view, Arkan-
sas is a most delightful place. The st.
Francis lake, IN the Northeastern part
of the state is a favorite resort for fish
ermen.
Along this lake have been erected
many club houses by business men of
Memphis ST. Louis ard other places.
Deer and wild turkey are found in the
heavily timbered sections of the coun-
Try and the fact that Bruin is occasion.
ally encountered lends spice of danger
to the hunters outing. Central and
Eastern Arkansas are the most fertile
aud best suited for general farming
while northern aud western sections
have become famous for their fruit
Passing frola this section down White
river, one sees the most picturesque
part OF the state. where reside so many
of those primitive characters which
have been the subjects OF humorists fo
long years. Indeed it is said that il
many places they are still drinking tbs
toast;
Here's to the girl frem Arkansas,
She can SAW more wood than her pa
can saw,
She can chaw more tobacco than he
ma. can chaw"
Generally speaking, the climate o
Arkansas is good except in the swamp
parts along the Mississippi, which, how

Thos. Grubbs and Easter Tense en-

is doubtful. Tense, who was not hurt,
is still at large. tirubbs has spent a

Conscientious ThOrOughness.

The manufacturer whose product
shows that he slurs over the minor de-
tails of construction is not the manu-
facturer who acquires a permanent
place in the estimation of the cOnsum-
ing public. In w. d. Oldham's ad
elsewhere in this issue, the fact is
emphasized that the Schloss Clothing
handled by them, is made with con
cientious thoroughness, and that, there
fore, a Schloss suit. while costing
actually less than ordinary clothing,
wears twice as long. It's point worth
considering.
