necessary repairs made to them

Wheelmen and cyclists in gen

in their midst, and show their
actual appreciation by their GUS
tom and patronage. This firm
are, also, agents for the popular
and leading "Colum bia" bicycle

being the country homes of Mr..
Joe Mosley and Mr.. Tom Gar
nett. They are prepared, at
all times, to make plans and
specifications, as they employ
skilled architects, and will make
estimates upon all kinds of work.
Their planning mill is complete in
every respect, possessing all
modern appliances that will, in
any why, increase the standard
of work and promote economy.
A full stock of dressed and rough
lumber and builders material,
including hardware, paints, oils
and glass is carried, and sold at
prices that will meet those of any
honorable competitor. No mis-
representation of materials is
permitted by the management,
which accounts, in a measure,
for the success of the enterprise.
In the planning mills everything
III soft and hard lum Der that is
used in the construction of a
building is turned out-lumber
of all descriptions manufactured
into beveled siding, ceiling floor
ing, sashes, doors, blinds, mould
ings and shingles. Everything
in oak, ash or pine is made for
the interior of buildings, hard
wood nantes, desks, etc, inclu-
sive. Their stock of oils and
paints is very extensive, and all
builders and painters supplies
are at hand for personal use and
for sale.
This firm was established in
1889 on a small to-day,

the preadventure of a doubt, her
ability to instigate and conduct a
successful and lucrative bust
ness, and, to-day, is recognized
factor in the commercial field,
and, here, in this city, we find
Mrs. Layne a notable exponent
of the success and ability of her
sex in this regard.
For six years she has con-
Quoted a gratifying business at
her present stand, and, before
her advent into Hopkinsville,
was equally successful in the
same line of trade in Fairview,
Ky.
An idea of the extent of this
lady's business can be conceived
from the fact that twelve compe-
tent clerks are needed to attend
to the wants of her large and
constantly increasing patronage.
The store is IS 80 feet in di-
mansions, and one floor is util-
lied by Mrs. Layne. The ar
rangement of the various articles
of millinery and notions add to
the attractiveness of this bazaar,
and, at once, proclaim it salts
factory place to trade. Mrs.
Layne knows full well the inn
portant part hat plays in the
well-dressed lady's toilet, and
her selections in millinery as to
style and quality are the very
best. Two expert trimmers are
retained by her, and turn out the
most beautiful conceptions in
millinery. The hats and bonnets
are of the variety of straws;
braids, and shapes, which are
proclaimed eau fait', by the die
tators of fashion, and an infinite
assortment of laces, flowers, rib
bons and other necessary milli-
merry adjuncts, complete a very
extensive stock. In the line of
fancy goods are found all that go

PROMINENT JEWELLERS.
Graves & COndy, Jewellers, Main
Street.

Probably the most attractive
store, alike to people of all classes
and conditions of life, is the one
in which is displayed an array of
iewelry, precious stones, watches
and other articles of personal
adornment. In city which has
reached the importance of Hop
kinsville the jewelry trade is a
remunerative one, and many
dealers are engaged in its sale.
Prominent among them may be
mentioned the firm of Graves q
Condy, who have been in BUSH
ness here for the past three
years, The more recent inno-
vations to a city, in any line, is
one always equipped with the
most modern styles, most mod
ern appliances and most modern
business methods. Their stock
is new and not mixed up with
shop-worn articles.
The firm above are opponents
of this class. Their stock is
complete, attractive and up to
date. Some of the prettiest
specimens of jewelry, including
diamonds and other gems, ster-
ling silver and plated ware,
clocks, bronaes and various arti-
cles of bric-a-brac are on eXhibi-
ton in this attractive store. The
goods display taste and judg-
ment in their selection, and all
the most recent vagaries of
fashion in the jewelry lire have
been provided by Graves & Con-
dy. They have a most complete

"A SUCCESSFUL AND HONOR

In the history and progress of
cities, their growth and enlarge

the statistician becomes aware
of the fact that the builders and
lumber dealers play a most inn
portant part in their upbuilding.
The operations of the firms, and
the magnitude of the stock car

by examining the undertakings,
we may judge of the value of the

"Dust thou art, and unto dust
thou shalt returnI" Divine and
awe-inspiring words; but in the
midst of life how few heed this
solemn warning. The thought
of death casts a pail and gloom
over even the just man, but much
of it is dispelled when in the dis
posal of our dead we know that
the arrangements are in the
hands of experienced and compe-
tent directors. The work of the

proper and most tender care OF
their departed dead. To him

pathetic demeanor, and Mr..
Glass is the right man in the
right place. He is an accom-

possesses a hearse and all the
necessary accessories to afuneral
train.
Mr.. Glass is a native of Hop
kinsville. He was, for a time, a
school teacher in his native city,
and afterwards engaged in the
revenue service as United States
Storekeeper for four years. He
then entered the undertaking
field, and his success has been a
signal one. He has served his
city's interests as constable for
four years, and was popular
deputy under Ex-Sheriff John
Boyd. He is, now, Alderman for
the Fifth Ward in the City Coun-
Gil. He is popular socially, be-
ing member of United Brothers
of Friendship, the Odd Fellows
and a member of Benevolent So
ciety. He also edited the Week
ly Indicator for twelve months,
devoting it's columns to the edu-
cational, moral and political in
terests of the colored people. 1t
goes without saying that such a
man is wide-awake public spir-
tied citizen, ever ready to do his
share in all public enterprises of
the city.
