R R. LLOYD & SON.
Well-KnOWn Wheat and TObaC-
20 Buyers.

Tobacco was introduced to the
knowledge of civilized nations
upon the discovery of America,
where it was found in use by the
natives of both the islands; and
the continent as far north as
Virginia, and it's consumption
has steadily increased until
great army of men are engaged
in handling the weed, which this
clark tobacco leaf district"
alone, affords yearly. Among the
list of tobacco buyers of this sec
ton, we find prominent the
names of R.'R. Lloyd & Son. For
a quarter of century, Mr.. r. r.
Lloyd was engaged in a general
mercantile business in Penn
broke, also buying wheat and to-
bacco from the farmers. Nine
years ago, he abandoned his
other branch, and devoted his
time, exclusively, to the buying
of wheat and tobacco. In his
long experience, he has acquired
superior knowledge of the
tweed, " and has gained a solid
reputation among producers for
honesty and fairness. Mr.. LLOYD
his son, entered the firm recently
and is an enterprislng young
man, who will greatly aid his
father in their enterprise. Their
premises are 40x100 feet, with
the best facilities for the storage
of tobacco, and they handle about
4OOhogsheads yearly. They, also,
buy extensively of wheat, and
have a large custom in this rich
agricultural section-as they paw
the highest market price. The F,
house was known under the firm ,
name of Garnet & Lloyd, until
the death of the former, some
three years ago. Mr.. h. h.
Lloyd is one of the most res
pected citizens of Pembroke, and
has ever been interested in the
growth and prosperity of the
city-haying long been COM
mercial prop to it's success-and
his son bids fair to emulate his
fathers worthy example.

From the above mother-hoUse,
have sprung four branch stores,
in as many towns of Kentucky,
inclusive of this in our city. One
at Gracey, another at Guthrie,
and still another at Adairville,
this State, bear their name, and
are under the most efficient man
agement. The name of Niece
hee Bros. stands in this part of
the country, for integrity, relia-
bility, and honor.
Their establishment in Penn
broke is under the management
of one of the brothers-Mr. h. S.
McGehee. 1t was established
seven years ago, and has built up
a large and profitable trade. The
store occupied is 26x100 feet, and
contains a full and comprehen-
sive stock of foreign and domes-
tic dry goods, embracing all
styles and qualities of dress
goods and the Incidental accesso-
ries thereto, together with a fine
line of all thatis embraced under
the head of "notions," carpets,
high art clothing, gents furnish
ings, hats, caps, boots, and shoes.
Mr.. McGehee is native of Vir-
ginia. He was, until recently,
connected with the livery bust
ness, when he sold out his inter-
ests. His presence is felt in all
social as we'll as business circles
of this city of his adoption, and
of whom he is Justly proud.

the banking systems of modern
times; and which, alone, is one of
the marvellous evidences of the
wonderful degree of progress
attained by this century.
The above bank is an eminent
ly safe, flourishing and reliable
institution, which EN- barks in no
questionable ventures. They do
a general banking business in
deposits, loans, collections and
exchange. 1t is fitted up with
all modern improvements for the

OUR POPULAR HORSE.SHOER.
George W. SteeIe.-.7th Street,
Bet. Main and Virginia.

Ever since the time when Abel
tended locks, Cain titled the
ground, and Tubalcain struck
the first ringing blows upon iron
whose echoes never cease to
fall upon the ears of mortals in
any quarter of the globe labor
has been the grand source of
wealth and temporal happiness.
In Hopkinsville, the ringing
blows upon the iron are strnck
at the shop of Mr.. George M.
Steele, where a specially is made
in horse-shoeing.
Mr.. Steele has made life stu
dy of horses feet, and the rela-
ton of his trade to horses as re-
garding speed, harness, over
reaching, interfering, and
everything else caused by de-
fective, and remedied by perfect,
shoeing.
He might be well called an
expert in his line, and has be-
come so successful and popular
as horse-shoer that he has been
compelled to make it speciality.
His scientific shoeing has be-
come a matter of general knowl-
edge; and brings him horses
from long distances, owned by
men who cannot afford to have
the speed of their animals i'm
paired through faulty and clum-
sy shoeing.
Forging, and all work incident
al to this line of trade is carried
on-and the chorus of anvils is
never still, by day. No eX-
ira charge is made for lameness
of horses.
Mr.. Steele was born in Mason
county, KY, and has been TWEEN
ty years in business in Hopkins
vile. He is a worthy citizen,
liberal-minded, and is ever will
ling to give aid and cOuntenance
to all laudable enterprises for
the public veal.

MCGEHEE BROTHERS.
An Extensive Establishment
R. S. MCGehee, Manager.
Pembroke, Ky.

There must beleaders in every
thing. Some men are born to
success, some have it thrust
upon them, others have to work
for it. SO, in the busy world of
trade. 1t is undcniable that the
general public are always look
ing to spend their money where
they believe they will realize the
greatest value for every dollar
expended. The above firm be-
lieVe in a judicious use of print
er's ink, and never fail to adver-
tise their wares when an oppor-
tunity presents-realizing, as
do all cnterprising business men,
that advertising marks out the
road to success. McGehee Bros.
are a particularly notable exam
pie of this class of energetic bust
ness firms. They have sue
ceeded because they earned sue
cess they have worked for it
and won it, by honesty, industry,
brains, and enterprise.
Nine years ago, in Clarksville,
Tenn, was laid the nucleus to
this prolific enterprise. To-day,
in that city, they own a large
double brick store in which they
conduct an extensive wholesale
and retail business, with a
branch office in New York City.

A RECENT INNOVATION.
L. P. Miller, Druggist Main St.
HOpkinsyiIIe, Kentucky.

"Competton is the life of trade"
has been maintained through the
ages, and is quite as true, to day.
Enter the most prosperous cities Of
our land, and you will find that the
more stores Of given kind they are
in its midst, the more prosperity and
business you will find in that one
line. 1t acts as tonic upon the sys-
tenn of the prOprietors of the old,
established houses, to have new stores
springing up in their midst to com.
pete with them in price, quality, and
accommodation. 1t subserves the in
terest of the patrons as well. as it con-
troles the prices and worth of the
goods they buy, Merchants, in all
lines, know that this is an ever chang
ing world and humanity, even though
not tickle, will certainly patronize the
man or men who afford them not only
the best goods for the least money,
but the most generous and accommo-
dating treatment.
The Inauguration of the above drug
house on June lst of this year, is but
another proof that Hopkinsville is
not resting arms" in the great and
steady march of progress and pros
perity.
Mr.. Miller comes to us from Penn
broke, Kentucky, where he conducted
a successful pharmacy, but, with
great faith in the future of this city,
decided to join his fortunes with that
of Hopkinsville.
The store he recently occupied is
spacious and well appointed, with
dimensions 2Sx82, and has two floors
for practical use. He is a registered
pharmacist, aud an experienced and
kil.ful compounder Of medicines. He
will conduct his new house on the
most modern principles, and every
attention and courtesy will be rem
dered the family trade.
The store is stocked with CON
plete line of drugs, patent medicines,
druggists sundries, toilet articles, and
all the accessori-s of a complete drug
house outfit
The arrangement of the goods lends
a refined appearance to this new and
attractive store, and with a man
skilled in pharmaceutical science at
the helm, cannot fail to sail calmly
into the post of success.
Mr.. Miller is affable, courteous, and
up-to- date, such a man as will lend a
lustre to this city of his adoption,
and who will speedily join the ranks
of the worthy promoters OF Hopkins
ville's interest. The KENTucKIAN bids
him welcome, AMI wishes him un-
bounded success in his new departure

LEADING ESTABLISHMENT.

Coal, LIME, CEMENT, AND FER
rr1IzERs LARGE WHEAT Buy
ERs-INcoRPoRATED WITH $751;

Every city has it's leaders in
the various lines of trade; but,
not often, do we find any one firm
as leaders in many lines
such is the notable case with the
above well-known company. It's
business was, originally, estab-
lished in 1890, under the firm
name of Radford & Jernigan,
but the latter was absorbed, in
1894, by the present company,
which was Incorporated with
$4,000 capital, with Mr.. II. II.
Jernigan as Business Manager,
and Mr.. J. w. Cross as Secretary
and Treasurer. The premises
occupied is 5Ox100 feet and is a
handsome double store compris-
ing two floors. In addition is
repository for carriages and farm
implements which measures 32x
90 feet in dimensions, and is
four stories.
In reviewing the different
branches of this large enterprise
one is, perhaps, first, attracted
by the grocery store, as this
comes closest to the vital inter
estS of mankind.
GROCERY ESTABLISHMENT,
Here is to be found full and
complete line of choicest groce-
ries-the best Mocha and Java
coffees and imported teas, flour,
canned fruits, condiments, table
de1icacies, staple and fancy gro
ceries.
HARDWARE AND FARM IMPLEMENTS.
Entering the hardware depart
ment, everything is found to be
complete and extensive. The
shelves and cases are filled with
glittering articles of steel, tin,
and iron; and from shelf to heavy
hardware nothing is found want
ing. From here we pass to the
farm implements and find that
every need of the farmer has
been thoughtfully supplied by
these enterprising merchants.
The best line of fertilizers is car
ried here, all of which are of
noted merit.
CARRIAGES, WAGONS, sADDLERY.
Next, in point of review, comes
this department, which plays no
small part. Jernigan & Co. have,
in their large repository, some of
the latest designs of carriages
and buggies, and wagons ever
displayed. In the line of sad
dlery and harness, they supply
the best articles to be found in
any market, and sell them at rea-
sonable prices.
LUMBER, LIME, CEMENT, COAL.
No branch of industry is of
greater Importance than the lum-
Der trade, and this company have
added it to their numerous enter,
prises. They buy and sell eX-
tensively, which places them in
a position to quote satisfactory
pri ces to all purchasers. The
handle only the best grades of
anthracite and bituminous coal,
and at most reasonable figures.
Lime and cement complete the
stock, and are of the best, and
thus the cheapest.
Messrs. Jernigan & Co. are
also extensive wheat buyers, and
with their variety of stock, are
boon to the farmers. They are,
unquestionably, commercial lead
ers in Pembroke, KY, and are
men of acknowledged standing
in the county. Enterprising,
and thoroughly up-to-
date in business, they have a
host of friends throughout the
county who prize them for their
pu blic-spirit and the strength
they lend to the commercial pres
tige, not only of Pembroke, but
all Christian county.

A PHENOMENAL EXHIBITION At LEW

In many respects the coming Mslne
State Fair promises TO be the most re.
markable In Its history. In time Of
business depression, when other societies
are reducing premiums the old Maine
State has extended aud increased the
same. While some have suffered for
entries to stakes the number hooked for
Lewiston Is phenomenal. Located With
gates thirty feet from the railroad, and
ample room to unload stock inside the
grounds, exhibitors are saved all trouble
and visitors are landed and taken right
from the entrance. No exhibitor Is
troubled about his winnings for sll
purses are paid rs soon as the days
work IL over, and all premiums mailed
by the treasurer within sixty days after
the fair closes. Such enterprise coupled
with the new, novel and up-to-date at
fractions must insure great state fair
Aug 30, 81, Sept. La and 3. You will
want to see. the horseless wagon race

spoiled large part Of It. But nov that
dogdays have arrived, Il Is thought there
will be an improvement In the weather.
Two weeks ago we claimed to have the
smallest man Ia the county, and now we
clsim still further to have the tallest
