Instructive Lecture.

Mr.. G. W. Castle, of Louisa,
delivered a very interesting and
instructive lecture at the Court
House Monday afternoon on the
subject, How Money is Made. T"
The subject didn't treat of
how money was, or is, earned,
as many thought at first it
would, but of how it is actually
made. The speaker told very
plainly and minutely how silver
and gold is stamped into coin
and the process by which paper
money is made.
Mr.. Castle is a general favorite
with the people Of the county
and he was listened to very at.
tentively by a large audience.
The sentiment in favor of Mr..
Castle making the race for Com.
monwealth's Attorney is still
growing in this county.

Camel City Oil News.

Within the last week there
have been three wells drilled in
in this field that will quiet for
awhile those who have thought
the field about ready to play out.
One of these, the V. P. Haney
No. 3, will make about 80 barrels
per day before it is shot. 1t is
owned by the Gray Eagle Oil &
Gas Co., and will be put to
pumping at once.
Another one, the Debord No.
A, is said to be about the best
we'll III the field. 1t is owned by
the Burton Fork Oil & Gas Co.
This same company is drilling on
their Debord No. 3 now and a
good one is expected there.
The third one, the Whit NO.
2, owned by the Ohio Fuel Oil
Co., is said to be about as good
as the Whit No. /, drilled in
some months ago.
Wells are bring drilled on the
A. S. Nickel farm, the Green
Jones farm and the Keeton farm,
and also on the Gullett farm on

Circuit Court gonyenes.


Circuit Court convened Mon
day morning with Hon. M. M.
Redwine, the newly appointed
Judge, on the bench, and Hon.
Jno. M. Waugh, Commonwealth's
Attorney, in his accustomed
place.
The large crowd in attendance
was evidently much impressed
with the dignified, yet courteous,
bearing Of the Court.
The citizens were made to feel
that the Judge and other officers
are interested in their civil and
moral welfare. This was very
apparent in the instructions de-
livered to the grand jury by
Judge Redwine. His position on
moral questions was all that
could be expected or desired BY
the most ardent supporter Of law
and order. His charge to The
grand jury was comprehensive
and vigorous against all forms Of
lawlessness, and was especially
severe against the sale, use and
illegal transportation of intoXi-
eating liquors. The new Judge
came up to the expectations Of
his friends in his manner Of
opening and conducting the court
and the friends Of temperance,
in particular, are much pleased
with Judge Redwine's course.
1t is predicted that all violators
Of the law may expect to be dealt
with severely by the Court.
Inc following compose the Ju-
ries for the term:
Grand jury: Geo. Fannin

Trial Postponed

The case Of Conley, Collier &
Darrow VS.. Loeb Brothers, in
which the title to certain oil
lands is involved, which was to
have been called for trial in the
Morgan Circuit Court today, has
been passed until next week.
The plaintiffs in this action, DR..
S. r. Collier and the Kentucky
Block and Camel Coal Co., who
are defendants in the faction of
j. w. Sewell, etc., VS. Kentucky
Block Camel Coal Co., &C., were
notified that the plaintiffs in this
suit would, on Thursday Nov.
20, would proceed to fake the
deposition Of Granville Hansy,
Of near Camel Citys tosbe read
as evidence in behalf Of the
plaintiff in said action,
The defendants were also noti-
fed that the plaintiffs would, on
Saturday, Nov. %, take the dep
osition of Mrs. M. F Gregory,
at her home in Cincinnati, 0.
If the taking Of the last named
deposition should be adjourned
from day to day it would neces-
state the defendants add their
attorneys remaining in Cincin-
natl during a portion of next
week, thus again shandicapping
them in the trial Of the action
against Loeb Brothers.
There is such a thing as a
wheel within a wheel but if the
bearings are not properly adjust
ed the efficiency of the machine
is liable to be mil. "
The Loeb Brothers and their
attorneys say that their suit is
absolutely independent of the
SewelI suit-that this one has nc
bearing upon the other.
We hope this is true, and if il
is, it is to be regretted that such
an undue advantage of the de-
Pendants in the Sewel case.
But it is not reasonable to sup.
pose that the Sewells 4Ill stor

Sound Counsel,

The following is a letter from
Prof. Noah Cisco to Walter Sc
bastian, a former pupil Of his,
and we publish it because it con-
tains such excellent encourage
ment and advice, and will apply
to all Professors pupils here:
Davenport, Okla, Nov. IA, 'i3.
Mr.. Walter Sebastian,
West Liberty, Ky,
Dear Walter: Il received your
letter a few days ago and was
glad to hear that you were doing
well in school. 4 hope you will
be able to take High School next
year, but, old man, remember
the one. thing necessary to do
well when you get to High School
is to get ready before you try to
take it. Too many try to get in
to High School before they are
ready to take the work, and as a
result. they become discouraged
when they try to do the work,
and finally drop out. | think
you have too much sense in the
first place to try to jump into
something hot, and in the sec
ond place, | think you have too
much CRITIC be a "quitter" when
you do start. | only mention
full preparation in order to keep
you thinking all the time this
winter that the one thing to do is
to make every minute count, re-
-gardless Of the good times that
may offer temptation to let up
sometimes for a good time at the
expense of your High School
preparation. If you mean to en-
ter high School next year, do it
WITH SUCH preparation that you
will be able to be a leader Of
your class, and not one who is
always following some other fel-
low who leads. 1t is easy to be
the Valedictorian Of your class
in final graduation if you begin
now. | want an invitation some
day from you to come and hear
your valedictory address at your
graduating exercises. You must
begin right now to nail that hon.
or; and as sure as fate you can
land it if you never forget that
it takes hard work to get it.
We are going the gaits here
now as fast as ever you saw 6
school go them: l have every
fellow doing all he can to make
this the best school Davenport
ever had. So far everybody
says it is the best school that has
ever been in this endO the coun
| Ity. This swells us up a little,
but it don't make US quit trying
to get better results from our eff
forts for good.
Write, when you have time, t,
your old teacher-friend.
