Colonel George w. Bain's
Book

Col. George w. Balm who is perha ps
one of the best known orators in Ken.
lucky has issued a book containing
some of his best lectures
The following editorial taken from
the Lexington Leader of April llth
expresses the appreciation of the public
Of this book and meets with our own
view so exactly tina. we reproduce it.
Colonel George W. Balm, Lexington's
most widely known and most generally
beloved citizen, has published eight OF
his popular lectures in book form,
and that the volume will have wide
sale may easily be taken for granted.
In the list of lectures are TO be found
in the following titles. Among the
Masses, or Traits of Character, "a
Search light of The Twentieth Century,
.'OuI Country, Our Home and Our
Duty" THE New Woman and the
Old Man," 1.-The Safe Side of Life for
Young Men, platform Experiences,
THE Defeat of the Nations Dragon,
IF Could Live Life Over Again"
There is not man with an ounce OF
red blood and fair amount of sane
humanity in his veins who could not
spend several hours pleasantly and
profitably perusing the pages OF this
book. Colonel Balm has succeeded in
doing what so many speakers are un-
able TO accomplish. He has injected
into his written lectures so much OF the
warmth and charm of his own lovable
personality that the reader ieels at once
on the most intimate terms with him.
and when TO this is added the SYM
pathetic, optimistic and always kindly
philosophy OF this gentle man, spiced
with humor and sparkling anecdote, his
literary style approaches the irresistible.
For nearly half a century Colonel
Balm has been a familiar figure upon
the lecture platform in every State in
he Union. He has stood always for
everything thatwas typically best in his
native State and sung her praises thous
ands OF times all over the land. Not
for this alone-for the book will be
bought and enjoyed for years to come
because of It's own charm and value
but to degree as mark of gratitude

BRITISH ADMIRALTY'S REPORT

Claim Made That the English Soldiers

sitions on the GaIIipoIi Peninsula.
Turkish Reports Have the Allies
Driven From Nearly Every Point of
the Peninsula.
London, May LIN an official state
ment just issued the British admiralty
gives the first detailed story of the
landing of the British and French
troops for the reduction of the Darda,
nelles forts. The Turks made a des-
perGte resistance at several places,
but, according to the official account,
the British troops now hold strongly
entrenched positions on the Gallipoli
peninsula as far inward as Krithia,
about five miles from the tip. 1t is ad-
mitted that the landing operations
cost the army a heavy toll of lives. 1t
is announced that the casualties in
the fleet, which supported the landing
parties, are small, but on the other
hand, official statements issued in
SOhSldhlluOplc dSSGTI lHdl SeNSTdl
British cruisers were damaged, a Brit
ish destroyer was sunk in the Mar
rows and that the French cruiser
Jeanne dare was struck by shells
from the batteries and set afire.
A dispatch to a news agency from
Athens says the British troops have
occupied Callipoi town, near the en-
trance to the Sea of Marmora. There
is no confirmation of this report, but
an official statement issued by the
German general staff says there was
continuous fighting there for two
days. Troops were landed near Blu.
lair, across the head of Gallipcli pen
insula from Gallipoh town, but the ad.
miralty statement is silent regarding
the operations of this force.
In contrast to the British official
statement, the Turks assert that the
British nave been driven from every
point of the peninsula except Gaba
Tepeh, and that the Asiatic side oi
the strait, where the French forces
effected a landing, has been entirely
cleared of the invaders.
Official casualty lists of the Medi
terranean expeditionary force include
the names of Brigadier General Ma
pier, who has died of mis- wounds, and
Brigadier General Hare, wounded.

BIG FIRE LOSS AT SCHLATER.

Tuesday night at $50 Schla-
ter, in this county, suffered about
a $4,000 loss from fire, almost all
OF that part OF the business Sec
ton on the east Of the Webb
Branch of the Southern being de-
stroyed. The origin of the fire
remains unknown. Only a few
months ago four brick stores on
the west side of the railroad were
destroyed and contract for re-
building of same was just let last
week. The following firms suf-
ferred respective losses from
the big conflagaation: E. E.
Jameson, stock and building $14,-
600, insurance $1,000; Schlater
Brothers, owners of brick stores
$4,000, insurance $4,000; Sam
Balkan, stock $4,000, insurance
$1,000; j. w. Wingfield, removal
damage about 81 900. The frame
store building next to the lake
property of G. A. Wilson, Jr., of
this city, about $4,000, insurance
800; and the Masonic Building
across McNutt Lake was dam
aged to the extent Of about 5000;
G. C. Phillips, stock $4,000, insur-
ance $1,000. Each of the stores
will in all probability be rebuilt at
an early date, as the two recent
fires leaves Schlater with very
few business houses. Contract
has been let for the erection of
five stores at an approximate
cost of $4,000.
The Commonwealth extends
sympathy to the good people Of
that enterprising town in the loss
sustained.
