Shot by a Negro.

Stanley Howard, a boss for one
of the contracting firms on the Shell
by Creek railroad in Pike county
was shot by negro laborer Sun
day evening and died twelve hours
later.
Howard was native of Pike and
was quite popular and highly re-
spected citizen. The negroes had
had pay day and some we're drunk
and boisterous. Howard attempted
to quiet them and the negro re-
sisted. Howard pushed him out of
the camp and the negro shot him
through the breast.
The negro was captured and
taken to Jail at Pikeville and
there were fears of a mob for a
day or two. The affair caused a
large number of negroes to leave the
work and return to Virginia.

SIXTEEN YEARS N MENIoo.

The Rev. DR.. W, b. Powell. OF
Louisville. lectured in the Bap-
tist Church last Saturday night
TO large and attentive audience,
his subject being Sixteen Years In
Mexico. He went to the Mexican
Republic many eyars ago as a mis-
sionary, and his lecture is de-
tail OF some OF his experience among
the Greasers. This experience was
a varied one, and what the doctor
heard. saw and felt during the
years he was there was told in a
very graphic way. Much OF what he
said is worth remembering. For
Instance, what he said concerning
tuberculosis and its contagiousness
and its prevention. This was one
thing. Another was regarding de-
meanor in the house of God. The
irreverence OF shown. unintention-
al, perhaps. in some churches is
reprehensible 10 a degree.

LIFE AND DEATH.

j
For the death angel and the stork
to visit the same family home
simultaneously is something very
unusually seen, yet that was the
experience of the family of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Spears last night, who
reside in the South Side OF the
city.
The babe of the family, about two
years old was attacked by an illness
recently and continued to grow
weaker until last night when the
death angel entered the home and
the little one was carried away.
Scarcely had the breath left the
little body and while with ears i'm
mortal one might have still heard
the swish and flutter of the death
angels wings, the stork entered the
home and left a tiny little babe to
supplant the one that had just so
recently been called 1t is stated
that ten minutes had not elapsed
after the death of he one until
the announcement of the birth of
the babe was made.
Hence there was commingling
of both Joy and grief in that house
hold-lamenting the departure of
the one and rejoicing over the ad-
vent of the other Catlettsburg Tri-
bune.

farmers and citizens are invited to
attend. w II. KANE.

yiously given $500 increased it to
$500, and Others also added to
previous donations Members of
other churches and of no church at
all were liberal In their giving.
The dedication sermon was
preached by the Rev. h, A. Barnes,
an evangelist of the Baptist
church, and it was an excellent
one, suitable in all respects to
the important and interesting oc
casion and well delivered.
Mr.. Barnes, by the way, is a
somewhat remarkable man. In ad-
dition to being a good preacher he
has been personally active in its
construction, experimenting every
detail and with his own skillful
hands has helped TO make the buiii-
ing what it is. IT is a fact that
II Mr.. Barnes had not lent his val
liable aid the First BaptistChurch of
Louisa would still be unfinished
The evening was given over TO
song and praise service and what
DR., Powell calls sermonette de-
libered by himself II was largely

The completion and dedication
of the New Baptist Church is a.
source of pride and congratulation,
not to the Baptists alone but to
the whole community. Every church
built in a town means much for its
good and is an index to the char
acter of its people. more schools
and more churches" should be the
war cry of our pepole.
This latest addition to the
number of Louisa churches is built
to stay 1t is of concrete blocks of
good design, The roof is of gal
yanized iron shingles There is
tower at the southwest corner.
Four handsome concrete steps lead
to the vestibule through which
two entrances open into the audi
torium There is side entrance
from the alley Through this en-
trance the Sunday school part OF
the church is reached. This divi-
sion has two stories, with five
class room in the upper story and
three in the lower. In times when
the auditorium is full those who
come late can be seated in the
Sunday school apartment without
disturbing those who are in the
main room. This room and the
auditorium are separated by a
glass partition which can be ad-
justed so that the two rooms can
be made into one. The pulpit plat
form is diagonally opposite the ves-
tibule. The floor for space of
five feet around the pulpit is lev
ell the remainder rising gradually
SO that seated anywhere in the au-
ditorium one may have an unob-
structed view of the pulpit. Under
the pulpit floor is baptistry. To
the left of the pulpit as you stand
in front is robing room for can
didates for baptism. Beautiful stain
I'd glass windows allow softened
light to enter. The large front win
dow is particularly handsome. The
seats are very handsome and are
built to conform to the interior of
he building.
The new church cost about $4,000,
md 1t looks like 1t cost much
more. 1t was built during the
'hort pastorate OF Mr.. Hardin, who
,ertainly deserves much credit for
lis services in this connection. His
successor has not been chosen.

An Introduction of the
Man and the Book. Afford

for Sunday School Lessons
of October IS and 22.
BY Rev. DR.. William H. Bates.

NJ IRA was a learned and pious priest
vi and scribe of the Hebrew captives
in Babylon, dwelling there in the
time of ArtaXerxes Longimanus (B. C.
4G442J). The Importance of his literary
work may be estimated from the fact
that the books Of first and second Chron-
icles. Ezra and Nehemiah, are attributed
to him, to which some add the Book of
Esther and the books Of first and second
Esdras I'm the Apocrypha; and also from
the fact that to him is likewise attributed
the settling of the canon of the Old
Testament Scriptures, collecting, ,restor-
ing and editing the other books of that
sacred volume.
In the year 536 B. c. there had been,
by the favor of the Persian king Cyrus
thus fulfilling the prophecy of jeremiah
tHS :10)--a return to Jerusalem of captive
Jews, consisting Of band of 1880. be-
sides 1887 men and maid servants, under
the leadership of Prince Zerubbabel. The
great purpose was to rebuild the ruined
temple there and restore the city 1t
should be said, however, that the great
mass of the Jewish people, reckoned to be
five-sixths, including most of the princes,
