COAL.
Our pretty little city is underlaid with
rich beds of coal. Every train of cars
carries countless numbers of bushels of
the black diamonds. Our trade in coal
is immense. The coal merchants. Nor
rison, Greer. o Malley, Walton, Hays,
Serat, and others, give employment to
many hands. These gentlemen are all
reliable. DO not be afraid to a on
them. Keep your fires burning brightly.
THE SILVER CANNING co.
The canning factory was established
in 1889. Ii has a capacity of twenty
five thousand cdns daily. They will be-
gin work August 10th, and continue
until frost, packing seven hundred and
twenty thousand cans. This industry
gives employment to N hundred and
fifty girls and women. Their goods are
shipped throughout the west.
STANDARD OIL co.
The wholesale oil business of Lexing-
ton is conducted almost exclusively by
the great Standard Oil Company. John
ID. Rockefeller is president, with head
quarters in New York City. In August
of last year this great monopoly placed
storage tanks here, of about 25,OOO gal
Ions capacity. They have a wholesale
delivery wagon with a capacity OF about
eight barrels, and sell from eight to ten
barrels daily. according to the season
and demands, supplying Richmond
Higginsville, Dover and Wellington in
this estimate. This company makes
prices on all refined goods almos,
throughout the civilized world. George
A. Webb is their agent at this station.
Mr.. W. b. Schultz's special delivery
oil wagon has been familiar on OuI
streets to all for more than ten years
He will continue to serve his customers,
not only with the best of oils, but is
clever enough to loan them the famous
Paragon can to keep it in. Try one; all
the ladies like them. You a get them
from the wagon, or at his home, al

OUR STREET RAILWAY.
We have a right to be proud of oul
street car line. Very few towns of the
size of Lexington can boast of street
cars running on schedule time, same as
they do in the large cities. Our worthy
townsman, j. G. Young, was the origin
ator of our car line. which has been in
full running order for the past eight
years. 1t is now owned and controlled
by Smith Benedict, who IS enthusiastic
in his efforts to please the people of Lex
ington and the travelling public. MIR.
Benedict recently put on two handsome
cars of the latest pattern. This enter
prise is an honor to our city, and should
receive a liberal patronage.
KELLY & SONS.
Green & Kelly engaged in business in
our city i'm November, 1891. In the fall
of a93 they were burned out, sustaining
a loss estimated at $4,000, which was
only partially insured. After their mis-
fortune Mr.. Green retired from the firm
and In the spring of 81 the business
was again resumed under the name of
Kelly 81 Sons. While enjoying pros
periiy they were visited by another con
migration, almost as destructive as the
former. The firm being possessed OF
that pluck ana courage which is indis-
pensable to success In every line OF life,
reopened again, and nothing daunted by
the fire, their stable is now equipped
with finer horses and vehicles than here
tofore. Among their vehicles is a hand
some hearse. They are live, wide-a-
wake business men, energetic and
accommodating, and are at present
enjoying prosperity. Time has thus
transformed crushing calamities into
stepping stones to higher things, and
proving their misfOrtunes turning points
on the road to fortune.
