Beloved Woman Goes
To Her Reward

Mra CANINE Scott, widow OF the
late Matt Scott, died very suddenly
OF heart failure at 10 o'clock this
morning at her home on Samuels
avenue. Mrs. Scott, who was in her
73rd year, had been feeling unusual
ly well and was assisting in some
household duties when stricken with
a severe pain in her heart, and ex-
pired few moments later before a
physician could be sent for.
She is survived by two daughters,
Mrs. Robert Collier and Mrs. Percy
d! Bryan, of this city; one son, Will
Scott, of New York City; two sis
tiers, Mrs. Anne Priest and Miss
Emily Roberts, and one brother,
George Roberts.
Mrs. Scott was devoted member
of the Christian church and led
pure consecrated christian life, al
ways ready to answer the summons
whenever it might come. Her life
was one indeed well worthy of emu
lation and the noble example set by
her will live long in the hearts of
those nearest and dearest.
The funeral arrangements will not
be made until the arrival of Mr.. and
Mrs. viii Scott from New York.

Classy Attraction at
The Tabb Friday

w. B. Small, Manager, announces
that Otis Skinner in "Kismet" will
be the attraction at The Tabb Thea
tire Friday. This announcement, we
are sure, will be received with much
pleasure by theatre-goers in this
section as this is considered one Of
the biggest and best pictures ever
screened in this city and it is sin
cerely hoped large audience will
be present to witness this stellar at
traction. This same feature is be-
ing screened at the Ben Ali Theatre
in Lexington this week and at the
same prices as here, excepting war
tax. Manager Small has had book
ed several of the best features out
this season, but the audiences that
have heen attending have been very
disappointing indeed and unless
there is more appreciation shown
for this class of pictures it will be
impossible for the management to
present to the patrons of The Tabb
the newest and best in filmdom. Ne
cessity demands that the class Of
pictures shown be gagged by the
patronage and while Mr.. Small de-
sires to give the people Of this Sec
ton the very best to be had it is up
to our people to support this class
of entertainment if they expect a
continuance of same.

ly have scarcity of water. Not
so, for even should this condition be
permitted to remain during the en-
tire season there would be from this
source and in this condition an
abundant supply Of water for Mt.
Sterling, says the superintendent. 1t
will not be permitted however,, for
the Vice President of the company,
who was here recently, said there is
nothing TO worry about for this cut
out will work to blessing in dis
guise TO the water company.
A structure will be put in at once
that will prevent any damage and
as soon as water recede TO its nor
NAL condition the concrete dam will
be extended forty feet, giving an ad-
dtional water surface and prevent
ing any recurrence Of inundat1g

the pumping station in its work. In
addition TO this steam power there
is 10 be inaugurated and electric
motor power by which the plant will
be operated. These improvements
will be done at a big expense and
will greatly add 10 the value Of the
plant aud in perfecting the system

Med Donald Bros. Sell
To Ramsey & Mason

j. C. Ramsey and W. A. Mason
have formed a partnership and pur-
chased the coal and feed business of
Mcdonald Bros, one of the most
substantial businesses in this city,
and will continue the business from
the same location. These gentlemen
are correct business men with the
needed push and enterprise and we
feel sure they will soon forge to the
front with others.
Mr.. John Mcdonald will remain in
the city as live stock dealer in
which he has had much experience.
At first he comes in contact with
the farmer as he offers to buy wool,
the season now on. The farmers will
be glad to learn that Mr.. Mcdonald
is to continue to do business with
them and the people generally will
be pleased to know that he is to con-
tinue to make Mt. Sterling his home.
The future of the coal and feed
concern under the able guidance of
Mr.. Ramsey and Mr.. Mason is des-
tined to a successful future and we
gladly welcome these enterprisinS
gentlemen among our live business
men.
