NJ. C. FORBES,
ONE OF THE LEADING BUSINESS MEN
OF HOPKINsVILLE.

ONE OF THE LEADING BUSINESS MEN
OF HOPKINsvILLE.
Mr., NJ. G. Forbes, the subject OF
this sketch is one of the most phe.
nomenally successful business men
In llOpkinsville. lie came to this
city in the year 1871 unheralded and
a stranger, and began working as a
blacksmith. BY hard work and close
economy he accumulated Il snug lit.
tic sum and in 1875 established him
self in the planning mill business,
which runs under the firm name of
Forbes Il Bro.
The establishment consists of q
lumber yard, planning and saw mills
and a factory that manufactures sash,
doors, blinds and builders articles
generally. There are circular saws,
mortising machines and ingenious
conIrivances for doing all the deli
cate work of such an establishment.
Everything needed for building a
house, they furnish from the crude
lumber up to the completed portions
OF dwelling or store. They manu-
factnre as Il specially wagons and
plows, of the former the famous Eek
celsior wagons" have gone into sew
eral States. lie manufactures to or
der doors, windows, sash and blinds
and to complete the supply he keeps
stock Of builders hardware, such
as locks, hinges, screws and also
farming implements. He has vast
lumber yard where he keeps hun
dreds of thousands of feet of lumber,
including framing, flooring, weather
boarding, ceiling, shingles, etc. An
especial feature Of this establishment
is the tlorOughness of the work done,
using the best material and the pro-
cesses all being executed with scru-
pulous care and the exercise of the
highest mechanical skill; the work
turned out is tirst-class and durable
and evinces the extreme vigilance of
supervision that marks the admins
tralion Of this establishment. Such
an enterprise, handled as this factory
is, is an honor to our city. II is mod
ell of its kind, a paragon of a manu-
featuring industry. Mr.. Forbes, as
the master spirit'of this concern. can
look with pride to the result Of his
labors. Personally he possesses ener-
gy, integrity, enterprise, tact and
broad business ability. lie is a mer-
chant of bold plans and the highest
capacity for their execution. lie is a
daring and ssgacious dealer, with
fine Judgment and knows when to
make large movements. Mr.. Forbes
enterprise is shown in the fact that
he seeks trade out of his own domain
and with daring and successful
hand invades rival territory, clutch
ing patronage from abroad and stead
lily broadening his scope of trade.
lie has, by his own unaided efforts,
from small beginning built up his
business and is Justly entitled to the
prominent recognition as one of the
representative sclf-made men of Hop

TAKING COLD.
Precautions That Should BE Taken
Against Becoming Chilled.

Precautions That Should BE Taken
Against Becoming Chilled.
Among the causes of taking cold,
says DR.. Rumbo'd in Hygiene of Ca
tarrh, are sitting up late on cold
night after the fire in The room has gone
out, then going to bed with cold feet;
getting out of the bed during the night
with bare feet and in night-dress, to
wait on II child that is sleeping in
cold room; making n fire in the morn
ing of cold day, in an undrcssed con-
dition; standing in an open doorway
during cold or damp weather, with the
head and shoulders insulliciently pro-
tected, to speak few words to friend
who is too slow in taking his or her de-
parture; stopping TO speak to friend
on the sidewalk long enough to allow
the feet to become cold, and to expert
ence q sensation OF cold chills between
the shoulders; making call on
friend, who receives company in cold
parlor, or in parlor in which the fire
is started on your entrance; receiving
lessons or giving lessons on piano, in
. cold room; seeing friend out to the
gate, and then standing there until
warned OF the Improperly OF the act by
q sneeze or "cold str1aks' coursing
down the back.
For the protection of those young
persons who can not forage the pleas
ure of the parting at the gate, l
would recommend, adds Dr. Rumbold,
that their guardian should have NOV
able gate constructed and placed in u
room adjoining the parlOr.
Some are more liable to take cold
than others, because the system is not
able to command sufficient amount Of
heat when demand for it is made by en-
posture to lower temperature. Thus
we find that person who leads sed-
entary life, and confines himself in an
atmosphere artilic ally from seventy
five to eighty degrees Fahrenheit, ac-
customs his system TO habitually pro-
Iluce little heat, because little demand
is made for it; or one whose digestive
apparatus is out of order, will not
properly digest Bis fool, and can,
therefore, not produce sufficient heat
by oxidation of the food; or one who is
deprived, voluntarily or involuntarily,
OF the necessary amount Of oxygen, To
it by being confined in c'ose rooms, or
on account of disease OF the lungs; or
finally one who does not take exercise.
and 50 does not produce heat by mus
cular motion, will easily take cold from
the slightest exposure; while on the
other hand, person who lives an out
of-door-lifc, and thus exercises his heat
producing faculty, takes cold but rare
ly, even when much exposed.
To guard against colds, therefore. o
person should maintain us good health
as possible, guard against such expos
ures as those indicated above; take
much outdoor exerc Sc, if living u
sedentary life, at all seasons Of the
year, and especially avoid sleeping in u
close room. -SaRilaru Aems.

4. NJ. EDMUNDSON,
THE VETERAN sALooNIsT.

Perhaps no liquor dealer in Hop
kinsville has established higher
reputation for correct dealing and
absolute reliability than Tom Ed
mundsOn.
lie was born and raised in Chris
tan county. When quite a young
man he opened up a saloon in this
city in 1868. Saloons in those days
were not as numerous as now. This
city at that time was but small
town with comparatively few build
ings scattered here and there, sur
rounded by broad acres of fields.
Mr.. Edmundson's store at that
time was on the property where
now stands Dan TayIor's new build
ing. 1t was in little room ~ feet
wide by l3 feet long. In this mar
row space he sold cakes, candies and
conlectioueries. In the rear of this
room he had one key of beer sup.
ported upon two chairs and from
that key he sold the first glass of beer
ever sold in Christian county. In
those days beer sold at 10 cents a
glass. Before many months passed
other saloons handled it. Men from
the country came miles from home
to get a schooner or more of this
popular beverage.
Mr.. Edmundson's business grad
ually increased and he says when sa-
Icons were not so plentiful, he sold
from Z to 10 kegs day for several
months. To-day presents vast con-
trast from II years ago. We have
now one or more saloons on every
principal business street in the city.
Mr.. Edmundson's "Tobacco Ex-
change" saloon on Nashville street
is the most popular and respectable
resort in the city, aud commands the
largest trade. 10 give the public an
idea Of the enormous quantity of
whiskey and beer sold in Hopkins
vile, by the IL saloons in the city,
MIR. Edmundson's sales for the year
1884 amounted to nearly $4,000.
Tom EdmundsOn is known to our
whole community and surrounding
counties as merchant of integrity,
courtesy and enterprise, and is one
Of those dealers. so rare who can be

his customers and holds and in

drinking resort is Mr.. Chas. Catlett.
He is courteous and polite to custom

in the city.

DEALERS IN CoNFECTIoNERIEs AND
FANCY GROCERIES.
The dispensers of the sweets of
this life certainly take no second
position , of importance among
their commercial colleagues and
besides receiving the attention and
support which wide reputation
settles around candy man, a colossal
trade yearly rewards the success of
their working.
The ingenuity and invention of the
candy and toy establishment of
Wilson n Galbreath is seemingly in
eXhaustible and every season they
produce some novelty in toys and
in the preparation of the palatable
bon 6onS and delicate mOrceaur.
Their specialties are elegant
creams, caramels, nut candy, etc, and
to give more exquisite flavor to
their essence or to secure viyidness
and durability of color to their con-
tections, they make use of none of
the noXiOus and poisonous substances
gathered from deleterious materials,
that are sometimes rcsurted to by
some manufacturers, and when we
assert that their candies and cakes are
ranked among the best for the price
we feel assured that we will be sup
ported in our assertion by every
person who trades with them, and that
they make equal to the best purchased
any where. In connection with their
confectionery business they keep the
public furnished with all the leading
Magazines and periodicals of the day,
from the dime novel to the interesting
and instructive library Of famous
writers.
They keep, also, constantly on hand

GREAT TOWERS.
The Project Which is intended to Riva
the Tower of Babel.

The Project Which is intended to Rival
the Tower of Babel.
Our great monument at Washington,
erected to the memory of the Father Of
his Country, enjoys the distinction Of
being the highest monument on earth.
1t is over 800 feet high. But in. the next
Paris exposition it is proposed to erect
tower higher than anything made OF
imagined since the days of Babel. II
will be more than LOO feet in height,
which is three times higher than the
top of the dome of st. Peters at Rome,
and double the height of the great by.
ramid of Cheops. The constructor will
be NJ. Bourdais, the same who built the
famous Trocadcro Palace at the last
Paris exhibition. In a recent report he
gives a comparative table showing what
elevations can be obtained by building
with different kinds of materials. The
limit he places to mans power of build.
ing upward is fixed by ascertaining al
what time the lower part of the struc-
ture will give way beneath the load rest
ing upon them, either by becoming
crushed out of shape or by cracking and
breaking in pieces, And of all sub.
stances the most stubborn in this respect
is not iron, as some persons might sup.
pose, but porphyry. The former can, as
M. Bourdais believes, be used for d
building carried up 10 the height Of
1000 feet, while the latter might form
the foundation of pile fully thousand
feet higher. But this is supposing thai
the pyramidial form of construction is
used, which is, of course, the most solid
aud durable. This could never be ad-
mitted at Paris exhibition, and so the
cylindrical form would have to be used
which would reduce the possible height
to about one-third. But the proposed
tower would be built in several pieces
of which only the lower one would be
of the expensive marble called porphyry.
