Second Place.

For President, Eugene w.
Chain, of Illinois; for Vice presi-
dent, Prof. Aaron 5. Watkins, of
Ohio.

been taken. The strongest COM
petitor of Mr.. Chain was. Rev.

1t was decided to make Mr.. Pal
more the Vice Presidential nomi-
nee and he was named by acclama-
ton. He declined to accept the
office.
Professor Watkins was named

Good Way to DO Business.

In ordering soc bottle of DR..
Towards celebrated specific for
the cure of constipation and dys.
pepsia at 25 cents, w. S. Lloyd is
giving one of the greatest trade
chances ever offered to the people
of Mt. Sterling.
If food does not digest well, if
there is gas or pain in the stomach,
if the tongue is coated and the
breath bad, if there is constipation
and straining, DR.. Towards spe-
cific will cure you. If it does not,
you have druggist w. S. Lloyd's
personal guarantee to return your
money.
This remarkable remedy comes
in the form of tiny granules, and
can be carried in the vest pocket
or purse. 1t is very popular in
New York City, and it is not I'M
usual to see someone after a meal
at one of the large hotels or res
taurants, take a dose of this spe-
ciiic, knowing that it will prevent
the uncomfortable feeling which
frequently follows a hearty meal.
DIR. HOward'sspeciic gives quick
relief and makes permanent cures
of constipation, dyspepsia and all
liver troubles. jul22aug12

An Island of Massacres.

Hayti, the West Indian island, to
which public attention has just recent
~ been directed, has been the scene
of more massacres than any other
place on earth.
They began with the coming of Co.
lumbus and the rabble rout that fol.
lowed him. In few years its 3,000,-
600 Of gentle, brown-slIinned inhabi-
tants had persisted utterly, exter-
minated by fire and sword and by
forced labor in the mines.
Next the buccaneers seized the I'M
happy island and wreaked vengeance
on the Spaniards. Presently came the
French, and, for brief space there
was some semblance of peace. But in
1898 the negroes revolted and MUIR
dered practically all the whites.
On account of these atrocities,
frightful reprisals took place when
France, in due course, reconquered the
island. But the negroes bided their
time, and presently rose again under a
rufIlan named Dessalimes. This time
they did the thing thoroughly. Not
only were all the Europeans put to
death, but all having any admixture
of white blood in their veins suffered
a like fate. In all it is computed that
100000 men, women and children
have met with violent deaths on this
island of massacres since the inrtuding
white man first set foot on its palm
fringed strand.

Chewing Board is Busy on To-
bdCCO SAMPLES.

At Washington about twenty
samples of chewing tobacco are
being tested by the Chewing
Board in connection with the pro-
posed purchase of 100000 pounds
of the weed, which it has been
found necessary to obtain, in addi-
ton to the regular annual supply,
for the navy for the present fiscal
year.
The prices range from thirty-six
to forty-two cents per pound, and
the aim is to obtain a brand of to-
bacco best adapted to the use Of
the sailors.

Deserved Compliment.

In speaking of the large amount
of Equity tobacco which is being
handled in Ripley o., the Bee, of
that city, pays the following COM
pliment to Mr.. S. r. Adamson, of
this city:
Mr.. S. r. Adamson, the gra-
der, has been giving universal sat
isfaction in his grading. His is a
very responsible position. How
ever, Mr.. Adamson is "a man of life
long experience in the tobacco
business, and his judgment is based
on his thorough knowledge of to.
bacco gained through these many
years of experience.
He is a gentleman in every
sense of the word, and the farmers
are to be congratulated on having
secured the services of such a
man."
Mr.. Adamson has long been a
resident of our city and is an ex-
perienced tobacconist. -.

TRUE STORY WITH A MORAL.
They Are Not Scarce, But This One
Is Well Worth Learning.

There are thousands and thousands
of drimmers in the country" said the
man from Boston, "and while only two
OF them are known to be prevaricators,
their conduct is a smirch on the whole
body OF men. l am going TO relate a
curious circumstance, and while
know that / shall not be believed / yet
feel 1t my duty to give the story to my
fellow men on account of the mora,
connected with It,"
Everybody put on a grave face and
prepared to listen, and after clearing
his throat the Bostonian continued:
Five years ago | was eating dinner
at Chicago restaurant Just as rose
up put $40 gold piece in my mouth
to hand to the waiter At that minute
a drummer for a New York leather
house came up and slapped me on the
back and | swallowed the gold. / con-

could be done. In fact, he advised me
not to do anything, as 1t would turn
me into sort Of gold-cure in case

same leather house man, now connect

the moral is, never despair. No mat

REVIVAL
Evangelist Wharton Arrived On
Sunday.
Enthusiastic Cooperation For the
Salvation of People and De-
veIOpment of Christian
Character.
SERVICES HELD IN A TENT.

We are pleased to say that Rev.
H. M. Wharton, the evangelist,
arrived in our city OH Sunday to
lead in a cooperative work by all
the protestant congregations in
this city. Necessary committees
had been previously named. Ow-
ing to the fact that the large tent
to be used had been sidetracked to
Cincinnati in shipment from
Georgetown and hence was delay
ed, the meeting began at the
Christian Church on Sunday night,
when Rev. Wharton preached to a
large audience. The fraternal
spirit and enthusiasm give prom
Use of great results for good. A
choir representing the congrega-
tons will add much to the meeting
and will be conspicuous feature.
On Monday afternoon the evan
gelist spoke to large assembly of
men from the east entrance of the
court house. The meeting was
again held at the Christian Church
in the evening, but announcement
was made for the tent on Tuesday
night. The tent has a seating ca
pacity of 1900 and is comfortably
seated with benches, is located in
DR.. Ricketts, lawn on Maysville
Street, half a block from court
house. 1t will be amply lighted
with electricity. As we 90 to
press on Tuesday afternoon late
the workmen are arranging the
seats, with probably a finishing on
Wednesday morning.
Let this meeting be a great cam
paign for righteousness. Rev.
Wharton is not a stranger in our
midst, as he last year held a meet
ing in our city and has many
friends. He is a pleasing and
able preacher who will proclaim
the gospel: the power of God
unto salvation to every one who
will believe. Let christians attend,
work and pray, and many will be
brought to Christ.
Services each morning at 10
o'clock and evening at 1880 o'clock
until further notice.
