w. A. REYNOLDS,
DRUGGIST,
Junction City, Ky.

The only exclusive drug store In
Junction City, is conducted by the gen
tleman whose name captions this al
ticle. Twenty three years ago he be
came a protege of Capt. A. S. McGror-
ty, now a retired druggist of Danville,
Ky. He served a three years appren-
ticeship under this able druggist and
then took college course, graduating
from the Louisville College OF Pharm-
acy. On his own account he began TO
sell drugs at Shelby City, continuing
in business there for seven years when
he established business in Junction
City, where for II years he has prcsi-
ded over one of the most literally pat
ronized drug houses of Boyle county.
The building occupied by Mr.. Rey-
nolds is 20x60 feet in area, 2 stories
high, the second floor being a reposi-
tory OF duplicate stocks. The store Is
well stocked with all that comprises a
first class drug store, a large line OF
oba Piopi iSeotf
and the endless number of drug sun
dries, such as toilet articles, fancy
soaps, perfumes, novelties, cutlery,
iewelry, paints, oils, window glass, etc.
The popularity OF this house brings
to II a trade from a great scope OF ter
ritory, people having long since learn
ed that without competition, goods
cost no more here than at other places.
Prescription filling is one OF the
houses specialties, and looked after in

Mckinney Roller Mills,
A Thriving Industry OF that
City.

Mckinney is not the largest town In
the county but challenges in enterprise
those that boast of their population.
Emblematic of progress in this rival
manufacturing town of the county is
the Mckinney Roller Mill, a 20 barrel
capacity plant, that has built trade
that necessitates their grinding day
and night to care for the orders. The
mill building is four-story structure,
situated directly opposite the Southern
Railway depot. The mill was erected
some few years ago by Mr.. Tanner, be-
coming the property of the present
proprietor two years ago when $1,000
worth OF new and most perfect machin-
cry was installed, the old reels giving
way to the universal boilers and other
changes being made equally as modern.
When the over-hauling was complet-
ed it was pronounced by experienced
men to be one of the finest Touring mills
for its size In the State, and the great
demand made for its product illustrates
the popular verdict Of those who have
used the Mckinney flour. The pro-
prietors are Mr.. f. d. Kennedy and ].
B. Mckinney, who have spent the great.
erpart OF their lives in the business Of
farming, Mr.. Mckinney still being thus
engaged, the mill being superintended
by Mr.. Kennedy. Each OF the gentle
men are moral, high-toned men, cit
liens that any community might we'll
be proud to possess.
Mr.. Kennedy is master OF the Mason
ic lodge at Hustonville and master of
the Maccabee lodge in Mckinney.

In speaking of the enterprisihg mer-

objectionable error TO omit mention of
the gentlemen whose names caption
this brief article.
By birth Mr.. Steele is Casey coun-
tian, where he resided for a number OF
years. In the year of 1885, he began
mercantiling in Hustonville, and as TO
whether he has been a successful bust

within his business hive and at the
splendid realty that he owns, to con
clude in the affirmative. He has one of
the largest stores TO embellish the
town OF Hustonville and a trade in &C.
cordance. The character OF goods is
very much as a civilian expressed it
any thing from a cambria needle TO

can be found In that locality.
One OF the unique as well as interest
ing bits Of history connected with this
establishment 10 that the house occu-
pied has serviced q mercantile bust

OF the first business structures erected
In this part OF Kentucky. Then Lin 70

known as the "New Store" Goods were
wagoned from Louisville and other

The pioneer merchant of Mckinney
is Mr.. F. NJ. Ware, who has been en-
gagged in general merchandising at that
place for period OF 20 years, and con
ducts to-day, a business second in ex-
tent to no concern Of the kind in the
county. 1t is highly probable that a
greater number of square feet OF floor
is used by Mr.. Ware than any one 9TH

ness governs a general stock, embrac-
ing all that Is needed by progressive
people. 1t is said that at his place can
be found goods As excellent In quality
and as low in price as In any other mart
OF like character. He is also engaged In
the drug business In separate build
ing from the general store, Mr.. J. H.

instance the defendant, whose namo
was Jonas, was rather obscure in his
answers. Counsel questioned him
more severely, but poor Jonas only
grew more confused. At length the
barrister became oxasperated and
shouted my good man Jonas, do
come out OF that whales belly OF yours
and answer my questions properly"
This was too much for the Judge, who
could not restrain his amusement,

he refused to answer, and the case was

Those pigs that 'go down behind"
arc a puzzle to most swlne-breeders.
and tho common idea Is that they have
kidney worms. This, however, is a
mistake in II majority OF cases, for
post-mortem examination has failed to
disclose q single worm In the kidneys
Of such hogs. The fact OF the matter
is that these paralyacd pigs are but
tho evidence of improper feeding ana
management. Experiments at the
Wisconsin Experiment station somo
years ago proved beyond question that
solo diet of corn falls to produce
strong bones in growing pigs, and that
on tho contrary such young animals
require mixed ration of a highly MI
trogenous character In order to develop
all of the organs, tissues and bones
In the most perfect manner. When
pigs arc weaned and tho corn crop 10
coming Into use farmers are too apt
to use 1t 10 sole ration for pigs. IL
Is so easy and handy to use, and the
pigs like II 20 well that the temptation
