Patriotism Keynote of
Presbyterian Assembly

lied. DR.. Marquis, president of Coe
college, was unanimously elected chief
secretary of the reorganized board.
! The home mission question is an ex'
1 tensive one and it is hoped by the
reorganization more efficient work can
be accomplished. Over $l,000,O00 is
expended each year to carry on the
work in this country.
| DR.. .McAfee, one of the associate
secretaries Of the Home Mission board,
gave one of the most forceful adj
dresses delivered in Dallas. The key.
note of his address was the world war,
a synopsis of which follows:
"'rhe supreme obligation Of the mo-
ment is that we dedicate ourselves to
the new human brotherhood forming
upon the EARTH he said. "The nation
has entered the war-nay, we have
joined the revolution. Begun as a
neighborhood quarrel among states, a
continental war has become a world
! wide social reconstruction. No nation
lies beyond it's mighty sweep. This
nation is plainly in it's path.
AT war, this nation not less, but
more than ever, holds for the univer-
sal human commonwealth. 1t will not,
it can not violate the common human
brotherhood by petty spites and igno-
BILE hate, though cannon roar and
blood flow and stricken brothers reel
and groan and fall. God keep us pure
in heart"
The coming of new era for the
United States as we'll as all the world
was heralded by DR.. McAfee.
God make us stout Of heart to sac.
rifce the sordid old and eXult to see
it co." he said. Europe has depart
ed or is speeding down the ways. The
Russia of 500 years is no more. The
Germany of yesterday can never be
again-thank God. (Applause) The
careless, volatile, garish France men
know henceforth. A. Britain bloated
with conquest, luxurious and class-rid-
den at home, temporiZing and super
cilious abroad, is blotted from the new
world. The triumph of British arms
will but make that the more certain.
And the America of yesterday-puffed
up, soddenly self-satisfied, each citizen
striving his selfish part, sweating out
pelf for day of industrial wrath,
blind to goals, feverishly Fastening on
but unknowing and little caring with
er-does any believe, is any so sor-
did as to hope, that the America of
yesterday will live on tomorrow"
The old question of church union
was discussed, but nothing definite ar
rived at except the appointment of a
committee. 49,
The temperance question was again
argued. William Jennings Bryan ad-
dressed the assembly on this subject.
The following resolution was adopted
and sent by wire to President Wilson:

ing of the general assembly of the
Presbyterian church in Dallas, Texas,
has furnished The Tribune with an
interesting report of the meetings.

attended the meetings and was hon.

also attended the alumni banquet of
that institution. Following is the re-
port:
The 1917 meeting of the general as

was characterized by the discussion
Of interesting church matters, the
adoption of important resolutions and
the commemOration of the one hun

of work in Louisiana and the south
west, the two hundredth anniversary
of the beginning of the Presbyterian
organization on this continent and
the four hundredth anniversary of the
laying of the foundation for all re-
formed churches.
The great war spirit permeated the
gathering No more finer patriotism
could be found than that shown by
these representatives of one of the
largest Christian organizations in the
world One of the periods of the meet

A national service commission was
created by the assembly and will for

given authority to arrange such Or

by telegram to President Wilson:

Life Insurance

Back in the early forties, an aus
tere gentleman by the name of Will
liam Hoffman, turned deaf ear to
the more speculative forms of for
tune seeking for which that period
was noted, and established an insur-
ance agency in Mount Sterling.
Throwing every ounce Of his en-.
ergy and ability into this one line to
the exclusion of everything else, he
soon builded for himself large and
lucrative business, and that he
builded we'll is testified to by the
fact that this business has been
handed down through three genera
tfons of Hoffmans with each succeed
ing generation adding to its pres
tige and to its volume Of business.
On April 1, 1877, in this city was
born one who was destined to be the
future insurance specialist of the
State--Harry Gill Hoffman, and who
was to prosecute the business found

Paper as Handled by Largest

1--WE generally form our impress
sion of a home as we enter it. AS
the object of decorating home is to
make it cheerful for ourselves as
we'll as our friends, great stress
should be laid upon the selection of
artistic and harmonious decorations
the kind that will not jar upon the
senses from constant association"
This statement was recently made
by r. ]. Settles, interior decorator,
whose place of business is establish
ed at 4S Broadway. Mr.. Settles has
considerable local fame as a dealer
in artistic interior decorations, his
unerring taste and his high skill in
carrying out his ideas. He is ready
to give suggestions to patrons and
always studies the arrangement and
color combinations of paper, paint,
woodwork, etc. For the coming
Spring trade Mr. Settles has install.
ed an unusually well selected and
widely diversified stock, adaptable
for the different rooms of a house.
For the dining-room he is showing
new and beautiful tapestry papers in
Forestry designs, Tiffany colorings,
Oatmeal paper, etc. For the living
room the selection of colors is lower
in tone and the patterns blend har-
moniously and unobtrusively with
the ground color scheme, for recep-
ton halls are beantifnl heraIdic end
panel designs, and for the sleeping
apartments are dainty color combin-
atoms and floral patterns in violet,
rosebud, daisy, apple-blossom and
delicate conventional patterns. Mr.
Settles is showing more than 60 dis
tinct grades of 1917 designs in wall
paper and the stock is so arranged
that each style can be shown with
it's particular border without a mo-
ment's delay. His purchasing power
is so. extensive that he can handle
a stock as large and high class as
any Lexington concern and save his
patrons from 25c to 35c per roll. He
handles the goods of the American
Wall Paper Co., R. H. Graves, of
New York, Henry Bach & Co., and
other high-grade houses. His local
trade is very extensive and he re-
ceives large contracts from the sur.
runding country. He performs both
interior and exterior painting and
recommends 2 coats of paint for the
exterior of an old house, and from 6
to coats for interior work, to give
the proper smooth, enameled appear
ance. Mr.. Settles employs none but
skilled artisans and gives his cap
able supervision to all contracts. He
has followed the wall paper business
for the past 20 years and the paint
ing and decorating business for 16
years, and is highly esteemed in this
community.

has devoted its activities to realty
dealing many valuable parcels of
property have been sold through its
services. Both firm members are
well acquainted whit local property
values, may be said to know the city
and county like a book and can show
their clients just where and how to
obtain any class of property which
they desire to purchase The bust
ness has been growing steadily from
its inception and has developed to
such proportions that today the firm
of Oldham & Frazer is recognized as
one of the most responsible real es.
tate operators of Mt. Sterling. Mr.
G. X. Oldham is one of our most
prominent and influential citizens
and has lived a useful life in this
community. He was formely identi-
fed with the dry goods firm of Old
ham Bros. and, acquired a fine bust
ness training which fitted him in
every way for the various offices of
trust and honor which were conided
to him. Mr.. Oldham is the present
incumbent of the mayoralty and is
also a candidate for reelection to
this office; that he has served the
city well is very obvious in the high
moral tone of the community and in
the marks of public improvement
which greet the eye on every hand
Mr.. j. S. Frazer is equally well
known as a citizen and was for
years connected with the Exchange
Bank of Kentucky as Cashier. He is
highly esteemed throughout the city
and county and is in every way rep
resentative of Mt. Sterling's civic
advancement.

so Tennessee, Georgia and Vermont
marbles which come in different
tones and colors. He has also in
stalled a stock of finished monu-
which orders are taken and by this
method gives his patrons the advan-
tage of knowing exactly how the
monument ordered will look when
delivered. These monuments are
manufactured at the quarries by
highly skilled artisans, and are con-
spiciously high class. Mr.. Jackson
performs all lettering on his prem
ises, producing inscriptions in en-
bossed or intaglio styles and in Rom
an, Old English or Rustic letters.
All kinds of cemetery work may be
obtained through Mr.. Jackson, as
markers, curbing, vases, statues, en-
blems, settees, fountains, etc. Much
greater advantage will be gained by
patronizing Mr.. Jackson than by
buying from the mail-order houses
and sending away money which will
never return to Mt. Sterling. Mr.,
Jackson has been in business for the
past 7.syears, gives special attention
to erecting monuments and examples
of his work may be seen in every
cemetery in Montgomery county and
in many of it's public parks and on
it's public squares.
