A Few Facts That Should In
tereSt Every Climax
Reader.

When a man or woman be-
comes perfect in their work,
and makes no errors or mis-
takes, their place is in heaven,
not on earth.
In a big Industrial Edition,
such as the Climax has Just
published, there is bound to
be mistakes. There never
was, and never will be, a sim
liar edition published without
some errors. When you take
into consideration that our
edition contains sixteen
pages; eighty columns; nine
thousand four hundred and
forty lines of type; sixty-three
thousand and eighty words,
and about two million, two
hundred and seven thousand
eight hundred separately
formed letters, you will agree
with MS that the errors are
astonishingly few, any fair
minded person will concede
this fact.
We contend, without fear
of contradiction, that it is the
best Industrial Edition ever
published in Central Ken
lucky, for critics have told us
so.

badly as the persons whose
articles they appeared in do

joyment and industry passing before
us; we are excited by some short lived
disappointment But our energy and
our depression are both In vain The
stream bears us on, and our Joys and
griefs are alike left behind us.
We may be shIpwrecked- cannot
be delayed. Whether rough or smooth
the river hastens TO Its home till the
roar OF the ocean is IN our ears and
the tossing Of the waves is beneath our
feet, and the land lessons from our
eyes, and the foods are lifted up
around us, and we take our leave Of
earth and Its Inhabitants until OF our
further voyage there il no witness save
the infinite and eternal .-EIchange,
