price house. They mark every
thing in plain figures and sell for
spot cash. They are thus en-
abled to buy the best goods in
the best markets, and sell them
at the lowest possible figures.
The department store is strictly
an end-Of-the-century innovation,
and each American city, of even
moderate proportions, is supplied
with at least one of these valua-
BILE concerns. In such stores,
the business is perfectly syste-
matted, and the annoyance of
delay is Obviated.
The establishment of Rich
ards & Co., contain an immense
stock of fancy and staple dry
goods, notions, carpets, mat
tings, furnishing goods and mil
linery. The goods in each de-
partment are of the very best,
and large patronage is the re-
suit.
The business was created in
1891 by Messrs. J. B. and H. c..
Richards. Mr.. w. d. Cooper,
an acquisition to the firm, one
year ago, is a cousin of the for
mer, and prior to his advent into
Hopkinsville was engaged in the
dry goods business in Lafayette.
The spacious premises of the
firm are located at 101 and 1O3
South Main street. This enter
prising firm have a large branch
store at Pembroke, KY, where
they do a successful business
and enjoy large patronage from
all the surrounding country.
The Richards Bros. were born
in Hopkinsville, and have made
their present line of business
their life work. They are warm
ly esteemed in the social as well
as business circles of this city.
Mr.. ]. B. Richards, the manager,
is an honored Mason and a
Knight of Pythias. He is an af-
fable, wide-awake, progressive
citizen, esteemed by his, friends,
and respected by his contempt
raries.

LARGE DEPARTMENT STORE
OF Richards & CO...-StapIe and
Fancy Dry Goods.

In this money making ag,
where "a dollar saved is a dollar
earned" the buying public are
always most interested in the
house where they believe they
will realize the greatest value foi
every dollar expended. To the
practical, thoughtful purchaser,
a store conducted on a strictly
cash basis appeals strongly and,
at once. The merchant is thus
enabled to pay cash for his wares,
discount all his bills, and can
thus give to his customers the
advantages which accrue there
from to himself. Add to this,
the annoying and peace-disturb-
ing situation of being in debt
feeling, daily, the unpleasantness
of being in some mans power
the fear of the day, haunting
ones dreams by night, and the
wisdom of the cash system can
not fail to reach the minds OF
all. A great writer said: "Out
of debt, and though you have a
patch on your knee, a hole in
your coat, and crack in your
shoe leather, you are still the son
of liberty, free as the singing
lark above you! Out of debt,
and what a nourishing sweetness
may be found in cold water !
What toothsomeness in a dry
crust! What ambrosial nourish-
ment in hard egg" The
debtor, what is he but a serf out

It is seldom the people consid-

supply of pure water plays in
the upbuilding of a city; for
while every other feature of the
community may be seemingly
perfect its streets well built

all these are nil when they are
not supplemented by an abund-
ant supply of purest water con-
veyed into every home and bust

Nothing is so conclusive to
health as plenty of water for
domestic and sanitary purposes;
and the head of every family is
certain to investigate these es-
sentials before locating in a city,

or other inducements ever so

necessity for prevention and pro-

The profession of law has
wooed and won disciples and fol

races, from all ranks and all con-

perseverance and energy can do
for the man who possesses both,
in this age of free education, is
found in the subject of this pres

suits-but, fired by an ambition
to launch out on the sea of life,
and to become possessed of
knowledge and education, he left
the farm and attended the color
ed common schools of the county.
He then taught several country
schools throughout the county,
and secured thus the means to
attend our city schools, and to
afford him the tuition needed for
a course at the Roger Williams
University, of Nashville, where
he finished his education.
He was admitted to the praC-
tlce of law about 1889, and has
been a conspicuous figure in all
the courts of this county since.
He has been identified with some
very important cases; and his
power as a speaker is acknowl-
edged by jury and auditors
alike. He is well-read in the law
"a careful, painstaking office
lawyer, and applies himself
closely to all matters entrusted
to him.
Mr.. Lander is a devoted men,
Der of the Virginia Street Bap-
fist church, of which he is, at
present, a trustee; having been
clerk of the same for a long
time.
Politically, he has affiliated with
the Prohibitionist party, and his
voice has often been heard in
support of its principles through
out this congressional district.
Mr.. Lander is, now, seeking the
appointment of Minister to Lii
IBERIA, and his chances seem very
bright of securing his desired
Office. He is a man of ability, of
answering convictions, and of
undomitable energy, and esteem
ed by his friends as loyal, hon
orable and peace-abiding citizen.

REGRET.

Low much of sorrow that word impliesl
How much of happiness lost,
1t speaks of joys that might have been!
Ol lives that are tempest-tost,
1t brings to each mind some memery!
OF days beyond recall,
Oh that which was, and that which Is,
And that which may yet befall.
No one exists in the world to-day,
But sometime, felt its pain.
And well 'twould be could we only know,
We meier would feel it again.
But days will come and days will go.
Bearing their destined share
Ofpleasures that tempt and please, for time,
But later turn to care.
For the joys of this world aretransient as air,
But it cares our lives beset,
And necessity calls for many a deed!
Which sows the seeds of regret.
Could we only pierce the dim vista of years,
And discern what were wisest and best,
Full many heart that is heavy to-day,
Would be leading life most blest
But some one says, and, no doubt tbs true,
Gould we only understand
That the veil which hides the future,
Was wrought by an Angels hand,
That God, in His mercy placed it,
Twixt us and coming harm,
For all too soon we learn our fate,
And bury the hopes that charm.
Twas ever thus since the world began,
Man sowed but to garner regret,
His dearest idols tnrned to clay,
He lived but to worry and fret.
So bury the past and its sadness,
Let the sun of the present cheer,
For "into each life some rain must fall,
Some days be dark and drear.

IN the history OF this nation,
the names of Kentucky's noblest
sons are interviewer, who in the
halls of congress, on bench OF
justice, in the busy marts OF
trade, on fields of battle, or at
forensic bar, have gained dis
tinction and stamped their iden-
ity on the pages of the past.
Every student is as familiar
with these names as the budding
scholar is with the alphabetical
characters of our language, and
it were unnecessary to enumer-
ate them. It is, however, OF the
men of the present we would
speak, men whose lives are allleo
with the present civil and politi
cal life of Kentucky; and we Sc
lect as a subject for our theme
one of Christian county's favor
lite sons-a distinguished jurist,
an impartial Judge, prominent
Republican, and man OF the
hour. Hon. James Breathitt was
born in this city on September
4th, 1852. He is a worthy son OF
Mai. John w. Breathitt, County
Judge of Christian county, who
has been a prominent and hon
ored politician for thrice decade
and more.
Judge James Breathitt has
spent his life in Hopkinsville, |
with the exception of brief pc
Rod of his early youth which he !
lived in Evansville, Ind, and Ca
diz, KY; and the people of this
county have learned to prize and
claim him as their own.
Allied to toll, in early years, he
laid the foundation of life which |
is characterized by the best at
tributes of the seif-made man.
Honest toll, when coupled with
native genius and thrift, always
acts as an inspiration to greater
AID higher things; and Judge
Breathitt's busy youth thus
formed the sparks of ambition
which study and learning fanned
into flame. He served as Dep
uty Sheriff under w. l.. Garth
during his secoud term, and was,
later, Deputy County Clerk, un /
der his father, Maj. Brcathitt.
Thus he acquired the necessary
means to take a law course OF |
study, and in 1877, graduated
from the Law Department of the
Cumberland University Of Ten
nessee, and was admitted to the
bar of the State, the same yea.
Many able jurists and prominent
lawyers have emanated from the
halls of the above school, but
none there are who have reflect
ed greater honor upon the insti-
tuition, or credit upon them
selves, than our Judge Breathitt.
His professional practice was
characterized by ability, conser-
vatism and energy, and embraced
the most prominent litigation.
His connection with some impor-
tant contested election cases, ar
gued before the Court of APP
peals of the State of Kentucky,
attracted widespread attention,
and established his ability as a
keen, painstaking lawyer.
HIS POLITICAL CAREER.
Judge Breathitt has always
been an uncomprOmising Repub-
Iican, but both Democrats and .
Republicans have sustained him
whenever he has been a candi-
date for public Office. He has
twice been honored by his fell
Iow-citizens with election to the
Kentucky Legislature as Chris

tian county's representative. He
was recognized factor among
Republican leaders, there, hav.
ing been the caucus nominee for
Speaker. While there, he prov
ed himself the true friend of the
colored race, being the instigator
of the worthy movement relative
to State provision for colored
schools; and, while he failed to
adjust the laws at that session,
his bold stand for equal rights in
State education inspired the bill
which, later, became law. This,
however, is but a ray of the glory
which his noble life sheds upon
III who have placed him in pow
er. He is, like all deep thinkers,
/ man of few words, but of elo-
Iuent action. He was ever the
friend of the poor and oppressed,
and his efforts have always been
directed towards the ameliora-
ton of their ills and conditions.
He served several terms as City
Attorney for Hopkinsville, and,
as in all else, proved an able and
conscientious official.
