not mean an adoption of all the
latest and extreme freaks of
fashiOn-cOmmonly called "fads''
but neat, well-fitting, sty1-
ishly-cut garment that immedi-
ately suggests the tailor-made
man. 1t has been said, and with
much genuine truth, that "the
apparel oft proclaims the man"
and, here, is illustrated the
paramount necessity of securing
the services, when possible, of a
tirst-class, stylish tailor, when
selecting and ordering ones out
fit.
A well-groOmed man, fashion
ably attired in a well-fitting suit
of clothes, becomes the cy-
nosure of all eyes, at once,
either upon the street or in the
drawing-roOm-and is proclaim
ed a man of excellent taste and
refinement; although his other
goodly qualifications be not
known. On the other hand, even
natures noblemen appear as car
riCatures; when encased in lift
ting, passe' clothing. In this
present day of advanced style
and education, no gentleman who
pretends to any degree of taste,
will wear cheap "hand-me-down"
clothing, when for a small addi-
tional outlay he can procure
suit made by a responsible tailor.
The firm of Tobin & Berry
have been great acquisition to
a town containing so many styl-
ish men. They are experienced
tailors, and have no peers in this

EXPERT AND RELIABLE.
6. A. lille, Plumber, Steam and
Gas Filter.

The plumbing business, in a
thriving city, is one of the indus
tries of modern civilization, and
plum bing firm that will do hon
est, reliable work, soon builds up
business that gives them steady
and profitable employment. This
has been the experience of the
above gentleman, who conducts
a first-class plumbing, gas, and
steam fitting establishment in
Hopkinsville. Mr.. G.. A. Hille,
the proprietor, began business
in his present line, about two
years ago, when the water works
were introduced in the city. In
his house can be found a most
complete line of bath tubs, clos
cts, washstands, fittings, lead
work, pumps, rubber hose,
ranges, and all that comprises
thorough outfit of such a house.
During his tenure in business,
here, he has built up a fine repu-
tation for prompt and efficient
work, his aim being to do none
but tirst-class jobs, and at rea-
sonable prices.
He undertakes everything in
the line of plumbing, making a
speciality of lead work. In this
connection, he has devoted at
tention to the fitting of lavatO-
ries, and enamel baths-which
have become an almost indispen-
sible article, from point of neat
ness and sanitation-for the past
four years. All kinds of gas fit
ting is undertaken; including the
making of tobacco boilers and
boilers of all kinds. He is open
to undertake contracts for the
complete plum bling of buildings
in course of erection, and esti-
mates are cheerfully furnished.
In connection with the above,
Mr.. Hille is the proprietor of the
Excelsior Steam Laundry, an es- !
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1897-08-06

candy store, and bottling works;
and those, too, on paying basis.
In addition to the above, he is
local agent, here, and wholesale
dealer, for the Cook Brewing Co.
of Evansville, Ind.
Both bar and restaurant are
fitted up in a neat, attractive
style, and are deservedly popu-
lar.
The meat market is in the
hands of experienced men, and
everything has been done by the
owner to make it a first-class
shop. His extensive refrigerat-
ing and cold storage plant affords
most excellent opportunity for
preserving his meats until they
are thoroughly seasoned, as all
superior meats have been.
Mr.. Schmitt has added to the
commercial prestige of the city,
and afforded employment to any
number of men. He is genial,
generous, and progressive, and
it is Of such men as he that every
live, enterprising city has much
need.

books of the Assessor show at
the end of the year 1890, the tax
able property to be So, 034,777;
this amount represents about
two-thirds of it's real value, &C
cOrding to competent authori-
ties; the proper figues therefore
for the real value of taxable prop
erty in this county would be
about 50, 100000.
Cultured People.
AS to the people of Christian
county we have to say that in
them you will find socia bility,
heightened morality, a general
spread Of intelligence and learn
ing, universal hospitality and
chivalrous politeness, not eX-
celled by any people on earth.

But it may be asked: If such
profits can be made, why do not
the farmers grow rich in Chris
tan county? Why do they COM
plain so much of poverty and
why do they have so little
money? We think this can be
easily answered. In the first
place, it is not true that they
have no money; or, if they have
none, it is because they do not
work; but depend upon hiring
the entire force employed on the
farm.
In the second place, many far
mers cultivate too much land,
and do not have it in good con-
dition. The crops are therefore
meager, unsatisfactory, and UNI
profitable.
In the third place, however ex-
travagant a farmers family may
be, he does not consider that his
farm makes anything unless he
has a surplus left after paying
all the family expenses.
In the fourth place, many far
mers pay taxes on large guam
tity of lands that do not contrib
ute dime to their income. The
capital invested in such lands is
worse than dead; inasmuch as it
entails an annual expense in the
shape of taxation.
In the fifth place, farmers rely
too much upon the original fer
tility of the soil; and there is but
little saving or making of ma
nures; and but few farmers will
haul that which accumulates
about their barn yards.
There are hundreds of indus
trious men in Christian county
who have bought small farms

Every city has it's leaders, and
the man who has done a prodigi-
Gus share towards placing his
city upon a solid commercial
footing may well be thus cap
toned. And, again, he who can
inaugurate and conduct several
successful branches of business,
at the same time, is a man of no
mean ability.
Mr.. Ferd. Schmitt, whose ca
reer we are about to review, may
truly be called "a man of many
trades" as he owns and operates

vast percentage of the city's
trade.
Mr.. Hil1e is native of Putnam
county, Va, but associated him
self with the interests of Hop
kinsville in 1878, engaging in the
confectionery business with Met

afterwards, with Holland &

Mr.. Hille was Superintendent
of the Hopkinsville Gas Co. for
six years. He is a Mason in the

AN IDEAL PARADISE.
Large Crops are Raised and Command
Good Prices.


For the farmer, it is an IDEAL
paradise. There is no question
that the advantages which Chris
tan county offers to men, able
and willing to work, are beyond
question. They can have rich
soils and healthy climate, oblig-
ing neighbors and good schools,
cultured society and comfortable
homes.
Corn, wheat, oats, hay, butter,
cheese, are all made in the north
western states and shipped to
Kentucky, and through it to the
southern markets. Why should
not the inhabitants of those
states remove nearer their mar
kets, and save transportation, and
where the same knowledge of
business; and attention to it, will
produce greater results? Why
not possess themselves of soils
equally as productive at half the
price?
Are these not sufficient induce
ments, not to mention a thousand
others?
On the investment made in
lands, improvements and stock,
the gross profit in farming in
Christian county is 80 per cent.

A FITTING ESTABLISHMENT TO A FASHIONABLE CITY
Tobn Berry, Fine and Artistic aIOr IA South Main Street.
Enerprising and Up-tO-date in Every Essential.

most satisfactory selectio
With the best of weaves of this
country and the mills across the
great seas, at their command,
together with the most consul
mate skill and artistic taste, this
firm is able to turn out work to
suit the most eXacting and fas-
tldious. They require twelve
competent and expert workmen
to turn out the orders which
have been left at their valuable
stOre-a store valuable to them
because of the money represent
ed in their stock of goods on
hand; and valuable to our CITY
because of the people it attracts,
here, for miles and miles-who
come with view to purchasing
a suit from these prominent tail
orS. Every stranger who enters
our gates with intent to purchase
of one establishment is sure to
benefit others before he departs
so in this regard the firm of
Tobin & Berry are of more than
local benefit to Hopliinsville.
No man secures a suit from
these tailors, but brings other
customers in his train, from far
or near; as their garments have
a striking individuality about
! them as coming from strictly
up-to-datc tailoring establish
ment. This house of Tobin &
Berry is a home enterprise, and
should be we'll patronized by the
community at large. Only first
class goods and trimmings are
used by thcm-and suit pur-
chased of them, and made by
them, is a guarantee as to quail
ity, style and fit.
Mr.. TObin, the senior memb Der
of the firm, halls from Elkton,
Ky. He came to Hopkinsville
in 1884 and engaged in the tailor
ing business with his father, n.
TObin' One year ago he created
his present business under the
present firm name. He has full
charge of the cutting depart
ment-and the most perfect re-
suits attest his skill as an artist.
He is a prominent member of the
Catholic church and has a host
of friends, as he is genial and
obliging.
Mr.. Berry was born near
Springfield, Robertson, county,
Tennessee. He learned his
trade in Nashville with the we'll
known and popular tailor, Jas.
A. Kerr, a product of Toronto,
Canada. He came to Hop
kinsville about one year ago and
associated himself with Mr..
Tobin in this business. He for
merly was a partner in the tail
oring firm of Bailey, Berry & Co.,
Nashville, Tenn. Mr.. Berry is
the business manager of the
house here, and travels for the
firm in the surrounding country
where he receives large and lu-
returns. He is genial,
enterprising gentleman. Both
mem bers of the firm are public
spirited business men and their
house is thoroughly metropolitan
in appearance and an advance
ment to our city.

to make from the material at hand.
Animated by the highest motives and

THREE FOLD EDUCATION-MIND,
HEART AND BODY.

Education should be three-fold,
mind. heart and body. Unfortunate
ly, for many generations, the intellect
has been trained at the expense of the
heart and body. Young people are thus
made one-sided. But with the three
happily combined, they grow into
beautiful and well developed men and
women. The time has arrived when
parents, before committing their chill
dren to the care of teachers, inquire
particularly in regard to the methods
of Bible study and plans for physical
culture. The teachers who ignore
these demands will be rapidly shell
we'd, While those who are constantly
and earnestly aiming for the three
fold development of education will
advance to the front ranks. Many
young teachers are making splendid
records, but | am glad to say mat
among many of my acquaintance
some Of the most progressive and sue
cessful teachers are well past middle
life. They grow from day to day, are
happy in their work. and helping to
inculate ideas and devising methods
of teaching that will be far-reaching
in their results.

UNIVERSITY CLUB.

On Friday night the first of q series
of dancing receptions was given by
the University club at their new quar-,

could hardly have been possible to Sc
cure in this city. Yet the University is

Of the most popular and influential

any of the other organizations of its
nature, therefore the appearance on

itself. On entering the arched stair
way from Commerce street one notices
at glance the eXpensiveness of the
building and on reaching rhe second
floor, attendants relieve oneself of
their outer wrappings when they again
pass on to the third floor. Here a bevy
of womanly loneliness and a score of
gallant knights, are receiving with
outstretched hands and kindly well
comes and you are ushered in the Ii
brary where all around Is aglow with
costly chandeliers, Brussels lace drap-
ing with overhanging of satin and lace
at the windows, large, massive solid
oak furniture, and decorations of
palms, etc. = +, ~. ISx4
After a few moments rest you hear
the chick of the billiard ball, and pass
ing through an open entrance to the
balcony overlooking the southern
portion of the city, you enter the bill
lard room where the highly polished
balls are seen chasing each other for
ward and back on their green cush-
ions.
Then a chord of the sweetest music
is heard and passing on towards the
northern portion of the room one gazes
on a most beautiful and enhancing
sight through the large entrance to
the ball room. Here are the younger
people dancing away the happiest
hours of their lives, and older men,
bers of the club can be seen in numer-
GUS gatherings about the different

for mankind, however, is not bounded

or fine whole United States; it is world
wide. and yet l feel a deep interest es-
pecially in the welfare of our own peo-
pie who for many years have Deen
struggling under so many disadVaht-
ages and difficulties. l believe that
in the southern states we have the
elements of strength and power that
will exert a wonderful and blessed
influence in the history of the worid
all coming generations.
believe our young men and women
have in them the latent energies,
which if fully developed, trained and
directed would make them, under

and with you l wish to aim and strug-

In looking over the worlds history
in the past. it is encouraging to note
that, for more than sixteen hundred
years of the Christian era and nearly
six thousand years of the worlds
history, the greatest authors, artists,
and indeed all the mas
sprang from southern
and countries whose climate
are exactly the same as
those of the South. When we contem-
