Using is lottery at best.
"Guess work advertising is indeed a
lottery; but legitimate advertising
that is conducted upon a systematic
basis is free from all elements of

ANY business that is worth any
kind of attention is worth advertising
Systematically. There are some busi-
ness men in Mt. Sterling, as there are
in other towns, that allow their bust
ness to carry them, when they should
be behind it on continual push. A

The County Delegate Convention
met at the Court House Tuesday
to select delegates to the Campton
Convention, The instructions
were to the delegates appointed to
cast the vote of Montgomery coun-
ty for Col. A. w. Hamilton, and
that on all questions the delega-
ton should vote as unit. Mr.
Joe M. Kendall will go to the
Campton Convention with 80 in
structed votes, thus leaving him
but a fraction of a vote to gain In
order to have those necessary to
secure the nomination. There will,
in all probability, be no one put in
nomination before the Convention,
except Mr.. Kendall, as he is plainly
the second choice of so large a por-
ton of the other counties that his
nomination may be counted on as
a certainty. Mr.. Kendall goes tc
the Convention with the votes o.
Elliott (5), Floyd (6), johnson (4)
Knott (3), Martin %, Magoftir
(3), Morgan co., Menefee (2)
Powell (3), Wolf (3), making 81
votes. His friends claim that h
can, without any difficulty what
ever, get seventeen of the remain
ing 81 votes, should the oppositiol

diced observer it looks as If Ken

Reports from the bedside OF Hon.
M. c. Lisle state that his death is
hourly looked for. Mr.. Lisle was
forced by his rapidly failing health to
quit the canvas, and before his sue
cessor receives the nomination in all
probability the Tenth District will
have a vacancy to fill for the unexpir-
ed term. Mr.. Isle has done more
than his strength warranted to serve
his district, and there is little doubt
that his untiring zeal to serve his
constituents has had much to do with
fastening him to an early grave, His
uutimely taking off is a severe loss to
the district, for his valuable services
gave great promise of much useful
ness in the future. In common win
Mr.. Lisle's friends from all parts OF the
district we sorrow at the prospects o.
the loss of so valuable man as Mr.
Lisle has proven himself to be.
