cattle pens and barns in the distance,
il is the center of miniature city,
whence daily goes forth the unexcelled
Edgewood and Paxton's Private stock
to all parts of the globe.
The entire output is controlled by
the Edgewood Distilling Co., which
has it, offices and ware rooms in Cincin-
natl. The genial president of this
concern is Mr.. Thos. w. Paxton, him
self the son of an old dstiller. His
well known business ability, honest
dealing and personal magnetism has
made him widely and favorably known
as the worthy head ola representative
business house. The Edgewood Dis
tilling Co. has been in business for
nearly thirty years and has built up
for itself a patronage that few houses
enjoy, being one of the largest dis
tributors of straight Kentucky whis-
kies in the United States. OF the
several distilleries controlled by this
house, the old Lincoln county plant is
the especial pride, both on account of
its history and the unexcelled quality
of its product.
The contrast in the pictures of the
past and present, incidental to the
history of this plant, is certainly
unique and interesting. In the early
days, to find the one room, unchinked
log still house, one followed an old
Indian trail and "blaze" through the
underground and forest giants that
guarded its quiet seclusion. These
have long since passed into oblivion
and today a rock ballasted pike, smooth
ly graveled, wends its way broadly
through the rich agricultural country
and passes by the door of the distillery.
The water used lor liquor making is
furnished in great measure by the old
elm Tree Spring" situated on the
hill side some 80 feet from the still.
The spring and the old stone wall OF the
first still in the creek bed, are now the
only traceable signs of the primitive

sors, brought forth the formula accord
ing to which the whisky made on this
spot has reached the pinnacle of perfec-
ton. He has worked in the plant from
childhood up and knows no other
profession than liquor making, being
thoroughly conversant with the old
time handmash make. He is very
courteous gentleman, a favorite among
those who know him, member OF the
|. o. q. +. secret order in all its
branches, and a member of the Chris
tian church.
Mr.. W. ii. Traylor's life has also
been one of close application to the
still work, and like his brother, he
knows how 10 make good whisky,
though his attention now is largely Ia
ken up by office duties. He resides in
a fine OLD colonial home, set far back
in Il beautiful grove across the pike,
directly opposite the distillery. He is
very public spirited citizen, a genial
Christian gentleman, and deserves
great credit for his efforts To promote
public enterprise. In the ware rooms
are to be found thousands of barrels of
whisky us fine rs ever came from a
double copper still. The distillery it
self is one of the interesting points of
the county and visit to it is time
well spent. Through the Edgewood
Distilling Co., this plant has done as
much to add to Kentucky's fame as
any other industry of its kind in the
State.

this picturesque spot among the high
hills where crystal springs send forth
their pure waters in bubbling rivulets.
Little did this primitive distiller
dream that in the hands of Posterity
hsarchaic little settlement still would
add Ia the fame Of Kentucky and make
Lincoln county whisky known through
out the land as the very finest obtain
able.
In the minds eye, one can picture,
glowing in the embers beneath the old
copper kettle, the weird surroundings
of the old still, nesting by the brook,
side, clustered in from the world at
large by cragged hills, densely studded
with underbrush and crowned by huge
forest trees. No arrogant thought of
furnishing liquors for the world ever
entered the mind of grandfather Dud-
derar. His object was to supply To his
neighbors and friends in the sparsely
settled community, II whisky pure,
wholesome and palatable. Quality and
not quantity was the object and TO this
day the same idea governs in the pro-
duction OF this justly renowned distil'
lery. >.
The characteristic flavor of the whis-
XIV resulting from his secret formula,
soon established for itself reputation
that extended far beyond the colony
line and his successors have 81 faith
fullypursued his method of distlllatlon
that no brand of Kentucky whisky has
n finer or more distinctive flavor than
Edgewood.
After the death of old Grandad Dud-
derar, in the early part of this century,
the business and plant became theprop-
erty of Cornelius Traylor, lineal des-
cendent, who for more than halfa cen
fury continued in the operation OF the
plant, which under Unsuccessful man
agement became known as one OF the
chief distilleries in the State OF Ken
lucky.
A constant increase in capacity rem
dered necessary by the increasing de
maud has shown in what favor this
Lincoln county is held abroad, and the

Wheaton,s Advance.

lished base before the rebels could get

THE republicans have gained so
much in the past by their, claims that
they naturally persist 10 making them.
They and their President now say that
the result of last Tuesdays elections is
conclusive proof that the people of the
country support the Administrations
policy of protection, trusts, anti.income
tax and imperialism. But the facts
are dead against them, for the truth is
that the republican vote has fallen of
everywhere, especially in Ohio, and
that the democrats gained three States
that have twenty-nine votes in the
electoral college. Even audacity can be
run in the ground.

FRIDAY EVENING. NOV. 10. 1899

THE effrontery of some of the adVo-
Gates of imperialism, trusts and goia
monometallism. and the opponents oil
an income tax, in calling themselves
democrats, is phenomenal. And then'
too, they prove that they are not ef'
fected by ridicule, to which they must
know they subject themselves. Those
of the South would be Infinitely more
respected by their neighbors if they
would come out openly and proclaim
themselves in favor of negro domi-
nancy. In these days, nobody hnds
fsnlt with man for looking after his
own individual interest, but it really
seems strange that one with sense
enough to acquire any interest, should
not know that republicanism is for the
benefit of the rich men of the North
and not for that of all the people of the
South, and should be so lacking in dis
erection as to oppose the overwhelm.
ing sentiment of the people among
whom they live, and from whom they
obtained what money they have.
