GOOD MEETING CONTINUES

The meeting at the Baptist church
continues with undated interest.
Large crowds attend each service
and frequently at nights chairs are
used in order to seat the crowds. The
sermons of Evangelist Bryan are
marvels of simplicity and sweetness
and the attention given them is
marked. The evangelist is proving
himself an able expounder of gospel
truths and humble godly man, who
is calculated to do much good. DR..
Early's remarks before and after
each sermon are most appropriate
and the good man is intensely inter-
ested in the meeting and the well
fare of his fellow geings. The meet
ing will continue each morning and
evening until further notice. There
have been nine additions to date.

Big Fire At Irvine
Breaks Out Early In Morning and
Causes $25O,OOO Loss.

Fire originating in the City Res
taurant at Irvine, Estill county, at
80 o'clock Saturday morning de-
strOyed an entire business block and
caused a loss of $25O,OOO. When dis
covered the fire had gained such
way that it could not be checked,
and spread rapidly until only charred
embers remained. The fire is sup
posed to have started from a coffee
urn In the restaurant building. The
burned area composed half the bust
ness district of Irvine. The town has
no waterworks, but fortunately there
was little wind blowing. C.. G.. Dunn
the man who drilled the first oil well
in the now famous Irvine field, was
asleep in his office when the alarm
was sounded and he made slide for
life down telephone pole guy wire

He was unhurt. Tom Buford, con-
tractor for. the freproof Williams
bank, dropped dead of heart failure
shortly after the fire broke out. The
excitement fastened his death.
The individual losses were: CITY
Restaurant, partially destroyed, S1O.-
600; T. Q. Wallace, haberdashery
shop, $4,000; Lyric moving picture
show, $4,000; Williams Bank, s15,-

Oil Company's office, DR.. Wilson'S
office; City Hall and Mrs. w. T. Da-
Wilson's millinery store, $4,000.
Besides these buildings, which
were destroyed, many others were
damaged. The w. E. Howell jewelry
shop and the Williams residence were
damaged. The new three-story brick
building under construction, at the
corner of Broadway and Main street.
was in the path of the flames, but
because the interior woodwork was
only partly completed. it suffered no
appreciable damage. The large vault
of the Williams Bank remained un-
damaged and stands alone amid the
charred embers Most of the owners
carried insurance.
