Negotiations are practically closed.
1t IS reported on good authority, where
by the stock of goods and fixtures Of
Webher Bros crockerv store will be
purchased by the Palmer 81 and 10
Cent store Co. The mead of the Palmer
Co was in the city this week and prac-
tieally closed the deal. So far as Mr..
Webber is concerned the trade will be
made, the only hitch being whether or
not one of the building owners will al
low a change TO be made in the build
ing which will be wished for after the
deal is made. The local manager of the
Palmer store stated yesterday that II
the Wehber store is purchased tho
| plans are to make an opening between
the two buildings and thus make the
wv" stores into one, as the Webher
store adjoins the g. and 10-cent store
1t is thought that the consent to the
alterations will be given and wher
that Is done work on the change will
! probably be started as soon as possi.

REV. TERHUNE
Delivers an Interesting and
Instructive Address at
Huntington Indiana.
From The Huntington
(Ind.) Times, Jan. 4th, 1911

(From The Huntington
(Ind.) Times, Jan. 4th, 1911
Even though it was the Hon. c.
w. Fairbanks, once Vice President Of
the United States, for whom he sub
stituted at the Hunting on theatre
last night, the Rev. T. b Terhune,
pastor of the Presbyterian church
of this city, gave entert ainment
that could not have been exceeded.
either from :he standpoint of wit
and humor or in the sound reason
in.s and wholesome advice that he
poured in abundance upon his hear
ers. When the audience was not
keenly alert, all eagerness to absorb
every word delivered bv the speak
err, laughter rang through the thea
tire. Ii was a lecture full of heart
felt expressions, as. Mr.. Terhune
said: Straight from my heart,
where there is a whole lot more, if
| only had time to get it out"
The Huntington pastors talk was
along the line of THE Home and it's
Surroundings" He depicted the
necessity OF giving the farm bov
chance in life. "Do not make him
stick on the farm if he thinks he is
not adapted to that work, or if he
is better adapted TO other work |
know scores OF instances where the
world was deprived of the services
of men who, through lack of oppor-
tunity to get out where they could
show themselves, remained isolated,
failing farmers Again, | know of
scores OF instances where the coun.
try lad has gone from the farm, un-
heedful OF the pleas OF his parents,
and who has fallen by the wayside
There is difference in the souls of
humans. Let them have a chance
for themselves. Don't try TO pick a
boy's occupation for him. | wish
every farmer could send his boy out
into the world. let him take a trip,
just that he NAV get an insight into
the hustle of the mass of humanity
that exists about him"
Interspersing his address with bits
of well chosen humor, the able pas.
tor kept alive a keen interest that
rose to the highest pitch of euthu-
siasm. He received hearty APP,
not only when he retired but
'epntinually, throughout the course

rolls covering the service of the Ken
lucky State Guard during the Tay-
lor-Geobel contest at Frankfort in
1900:
First Iniantry-Field & Staff,
ompanies A, 2. G, d, E, F, G, H &
X, February 9th to 18th, 1900.
Second lnfantry-Field x staff,

Caps. !. F. Hawn's Co., March 18th
to May aud 1900
Third Infantry--Capt. T. W.
Wards Co., Feb. 9th to 12t., 1900.
1t has been decided that warrants
covering the above pay will be
drawn in favor Of individuals who
are entitled to it, but on account OF
the probability that many of them
have died, disappeared or removed
from Kentucky since their sci vice, no
warrants will be drawn in any case
unless the claimant or his heir or
administrator writes to the Auditor
or to the Adjutant General giving
his name, company and the period of
service for which he claims pa>.
The Governor is DESTROYS of pay
ing all OF the soldiers who served at
Frankfort, without putting them to
the expense of employing attorneys
or bringing suit, provided their pay
rolls can be properly proven. But a
few of the company pay rolls no"
remain unapproved and if the mem
bers of these companies write to the
Adjutant General, they will be in
formed as to how to proceed to
have them put in the way OF
payment.
