The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1914-08-12

In the death of Judge James H.
Evans, which occurred in Win
chester last Wednesday morning,
Clark county and the State of
Kentucky have lost one of its
most worthy, competent and pop
ular public servants. For 10
years he had been County Judge
Of Clark county and was one of
the most beloved and highly es-
teemed men in this section.
Judge Evans had been confined
to his home for the past three
weeks, and had been growing
steadily weaker, in spite of all
that medical science could do
for him. For the past year
he has been suffering with NAL
ignant form of cancer of the
mouth, and even the radium
treatment which he went to Bal
timore to receive, failed to give
relief. Judge Evans was born in
Clark county, in what is now the
Wades' Mill precinct, in 1874, and
was a son of 0. P. Evans and
Nancy Thompson. Both his
fathers and mothers families
were among the pioneers OF
Clark, and were among the most
prominent farmers in that section.
He was married to Miss Katie
Gay, daughter of Dunlap Gay.
Three children were born to
them. two sons, Curtis and Lee,
and one daughter, Mamie, who
was married to Chas. c. Quisen-
berry, and who died some years
ago, leaving two children, Evans
Quisenberry and Mrs. Leon Rem
aker. The death of Judge Evan
is learned with deepest regret
here, where he had many warm
friends.

THE PRICE OF WAR

Associated Press dispatches
carry the information that all Of
Europe is in arms. Countries
directly involved in the approach
ing war are waiting only to get
their armies and navies in the
proper condition before striking
blow. Seven great countries
are about to clash in what will be
the greatest war Of modern times.
Germany and Austria-Hungary
are arrayed against three power
full European countries and two
smaller ones. Alliance between
one country or the other has
drawn the great powers into a
conflict. There seems but little
opportunity for the dove of peace
to intervene and prevent blood
shed.
Austria-Hungary displeased
over the reply of Servia in regard
to the punishment of the assassin
of Crown Prince Ferdinand, and
other matters, put up to the Gov
eminent Immediately began pre-
parations to invade the Slave
country. At the first sign of hos
tilities Russia prepared for her
defense and this was the signal
for a general preparation for war
among all the European coun-
tries. In the hasty preparations
Servia seems to have been for
gotten, but corp after corp has
been prepared for the field and
are being rushed to the scenes of
possible conflict.
England is the last country to
declare war. King George made
an effort to prevent war, but the
violation of the Belgium neutrali-
ty law by Germany, in that the
Kaiser's troops cross on Belgium
soil to the French frontier, caus-
ed a breach between those coun-
tries and has drawn Great Brit
ain in the controversy.
At present there are no signs OF
turbulent Europe being restored
to peace until the blood of thous-
ands have been spilled in battle.
The lives of thousands and maybe
millions may be, sacrificed because
Of the failure to adjust a slight
difficulty between two of E,u-
ropes smaller powers. The effect
will be far-reaching.N Death and
destruction will mark every move
of the allied armies; the flowers
of the fields over which peace has
so long reigned, will be stained
with carnage; nations may go
bankrupt and it may take them
years to recover. This is the price
of warts it worth the price?
Mining coal is hell. The latest
explosion blotted out $50 miners
near Calgary, Canada. More

mines within a year than soldiers
have been slain in Mexico. Wal

Warning FOR
SCHOOL HEADS
WARD COUNTY OFFICERS TOLD
NOT TO BUY SUPPLIES OF

The following warning by the state
superintendent of schools is being
sent out by County Superintendent E.
G. Warren to school officers of Ward
county. These circulars have been
distributed by the state superintendent
to all county superintendent of the
state for distribution among the Of

"Many complaints have reached this
office regarding the purchasing of

"You are hereby notified to make
no contract of any kind and to give

Sans marines. He says in part:
'"There is nothing doing here, but l

as the people here do not act as tho
they can take care of themselves. It
takes the U. s. to teach them les

You ask what the officers here think
OF the war. They are not allowed to
say anything, as it is against orders,
so they hardly mention the war at all,
but the old Kaiser is giving the Allies
all they can expect, but in the long
run the Germans will get the worst Of

whole of Europe.
will have to close as have much
work to do, as we are unloading the
transports and it keeps US busy taking
care Of the stores as they come
ashore" ..
Ben sent a clipping from a Vera
Cruz paper under date of Oct. 16
which shows that the boys had little
excitement. 1t is as follows:
Evident preparations on the part of
a small detachment of men under Gen.
eral Aguilar for an attack last night
on the American outposts around Vera
Cruz have resulted in the strengthen
ing of the American lines. .-
Some 200 Mexicans are in position
half mile from the American out
posts and they have two mounted
guns trained on the American soldiers.
Their warlike activity is attributed in
Vera Cruz to over-indulgence in liquor
obtained at a house just beyond the
American lines, but their boasts that
they were about to inaugurate an at
tack that ultimately would drive the
Americans out of this port, are taken
more or less seriously on account of
the persistency of the reports that Ag-
uilar will not be able to restrain him
self much longer, and that the impa-
thence of his men to enter Vera Cruz
is rendering his control over them
doubtful. !.
Aguilar's entire force is estimated
between 1000 and 5000 men, with sew
eral pieces of artillery. 1t is reported
in Vera Cruz that Aguilar has made
wager that he will take breakfast in
this city next Sunday.

Mr.. Semmen started in on his home

with a wife and six children. The
first year he had but an old horse and
two heifers. He worked in the coal
mine one winter to get money for
groceries and while he is not a mil
lionaire, he owns 100 acre farm
free from indebtedness, has good farm
buildings, several good teams of
horses and oxen and number of fine
mich cows.
"There never was time when we
did not have great plenty to eat" he
said, "but we did not always have
much money. cannot see why so
many bachelors cannot get along on
free homestead, when they only have
themselves to look out for. So many
farmers have mortgaged their claims
to buy old plug horses and machinery
when they ought to have invested in
young cattle that would soon be worth
double the money"
Mr.. Semmen is using the old binder
still, that he bought in 1893, the time
of the Worlds Fair at Chicago. He
has had to invest in few parts but
the old machine is running as smooth
ly as new.

ALL MICHIGAN UNION MINERS

A statewide strike of all union

the attitude of the mine owners of
