nutting the oyster Industry On more

Experiments 10 the lattehihg oi
oysters for market were continued at
Lenn Haven, Va, where the commits

oysters in the Chesapeake region ana
elsewhere proved very serious, hnah-

though there are yet no evidence

As specimen newspaper joke 1 will
give yau this, which saw this week:
"Mr. Smith was asking Col. Jones
if his country was suffering much
from the depression, if there had been
many failures in his State. The CO.
lionel replied 'No sab q! none al all."Mr.
Jones said: "Why, Colonel, that is re-
markable; how do you account for il ?
The Colonel answered: Well, sab,
our people have a pride in keeping
their heads above wa-tah."
A Kentucky Colonel and an Ohio
man were at Put-in-Bay last summer.
Both very thirsty, the Ohio man,
looding out over the bay, said: Col.
don't you wish that was all
rum? The Colonel said: No, sab, l
draw the line at bay rum.
One of the oldest jokes is where the
physician prescribed water, and the
patient asks in alarm: "Not Internal
ly, doctah ?"
OF course a great many of these
newspaper jokes never occurred, but
I have heard tramps say, when spoken
to about their breath, that they had
no trouble in getting something to
drink because q look of thirstiness
would touch a mans heart here, who
could not understand hunger at all.
haven't time to tell you any more
about Kentucky or Keatuckians. The
subject is too big and too interesting
to discuss, unless you took day off
for the special purpost; besides, it
makes me homesick to speak or write
on this subject, for you never saw
right-thinking Kentuckian who had
moved away from his native State
but who was always anxious to re-
turn, for
The sun shines bright in my old Kentucky home,
In my old Kentucky home far away;
The pumpkins are ripe, the turkeys are in
bloom,
And the birds make merry all the day.
So weep no more, my schoolmates, oh, weep no
more to-day,
Since I've sung you this song of my old Ken
lucky home,
or my old Kentucky home far away.

Mt. Sterling, KY, Jan. ! '9S-
Circumstances over which we have
no control, but which we are quite
anxious to control, have induced
us to adopt the cash system in our
retail department. The tendency
of trade for the last three or four
years has been steadily towards a
cash basis, for the simple reason
that buyidg for cash is economy
while buying on credit is extraya-
gance. A cash business can be
done with less expense and loss
than credit business. We, there
fore, appeal to your self-interest
by offering to give you the benefit
of this saving. We further offer
you strictly honest treatment, the
brightest, cleanest store in Eastern
Kentucky, and the largest and best
assorted stock of Groceries. We
have always stood at the head Of
the procession on weights and
quality, we now propose to go dead
on price, and if you will call and
see us you will find this no idle
talk.
