Avoid the woe pronounced by voting
against license. You can't be sure OF
it by voting for old party men; the
safe, sane and reasonable way is to
vote for the Prohibition candidates
who are pledged to enforce prohibi'
tory law.
The Democratic party re-introduced
the license system into the city and
the Republican party has allowed the
saloons to continue. You are not sure
that there will be no license If you
place either Democrats or Republicans
in office. Remember the council de-
cides the question and has been known
to nullify the wishes Of the people
when they voted a clear majority
against the saloon. Read your history.
There is no pledge from any candi'
dates. except the Prohibition cand!-
dates, in regard to closing saloons.
Bear that fact in mind and make your
self safe by voting for the Prohibition
candidates.

ADJUSTMENTS
THE REAL MEANING OF MELO.
DRAMA

Melodrama is the play of everyday
life. 1t is the romance of current
events. A fight in the street or an ac-
cident may have woven around it as
interesting a melodrama AS one would
wish to see. 1t is the very human
quality in melodrama that makes it
so popular with the average man and
woman. Melodramatic writer's are
close students of human nature; they
cater to no long-haired class nor Ibsen
cult, but to the people. The Earl Bur
CESS company will be seen here at the

streets to behold what was truly
the saddest affair ever witnessed in
the town Of Paintsville.
The angry flames rushed heaven

shrieks of helpless sufferers, making
a spectacle not soon to be forgotten
by our people.
The fire was in the old dwelling
at the corner of East and First
streets, near the NJ. E. Church
South, occupied by Mr.. George Stat

named Mrs. Liza Lavender. 1t seems
to have had its origin in the kitchen
but no one knows definitely. The
family was asleep and when they
awoke they found their escape cut

room to room and up the stairway
to the second floor. The stairway

NARROW ESCAPE.
Small Son of viii Ferguson Saved

The following account Of a narrow
escape from sudden and horrible
death will be read with interest by
Louisians. The boys father and
Iaother We're natives OF this city,

Chester Ferguson, the 13-year-old
son OF William Ferguson, agent for
the Adams Express Company in this

this morning when an engine and
seven freight cars passed over his
body, but without touching him.

such an experience as this lad un-

half way over, local freight No SO,

er track out Of the way Of No SO,
Chester tripped and fell headlone
into the middle OF the track,and At
the same instant there was rush, 9
whir of wheels, the rattle of a grea'
iron monster, and the engine OF
freight No. IS, east-bound, was pass
Ing over him. Seven cars followed
in the wake Of the big engine, and
until the very last had passed, the bo,
lay quite still, hugging the cross tle'
