4 Coal Co., which has already ac-
quired 100000 acres Of coal and
timber properties in Eastern Ken
lucky, and which is still adding to
this vast domain by purchases OF
areas from individuals and smaller
panies, had meeting at the
Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, over
which the multi.millionaire, Peter
Kimberly, Of Sharon, Penn, bust
ness headquarters in Chicago, pre-
sided. The object OF meeting was
to mature plans to have several
thousands OF coke ovens and all
other equipments complete on the
ground when the Z. & o. railroad
shall have reached their possess
sions, which will be within twelve
months.
When they have finished their
plans for operating that and their
purchases to date 1t will represent
an expenditure Of $6,000000 cash
1t is said that twill be the largest
combined coking coal aud timber
operation in any one locality, Of the
world. Former United States Sen.
ator Camden, the West Virginia
multi-millionairo, has recently be-
come one OF the company. There
are several Cincinnati people In
the deal, but the company will be
small as TO the controlling spirits,
who reside in different states. The
young Napoleon of Eastern Ken
lucky development, j. c. c. Mayo,
has been the medium through
which all this principality OF ma
turos resources has been secured,
and he has been at it for three years

THE DAYS OF
LONG AGO"
Last Week Reminded Us Of
"Old Times.

Lastweek reminded the cold settlers
of the days of long ago" when "thC
fair" was the one great annual social
function of the county. 1t is com.
mon thing to hear group Of men, when
they = ow reminiscent, speak of the
good old days" when the people
owned he fair and all attended with
wives. children and swecthearts. Aud
there is ncvcr-railing cNprcssi n OF
regret that those happy conditions
have past.
We'll, last week was like "old times. .
The folks were all here and they were
all hav .ng IA good time-a Jolly good
time. They camc to see each otLer,
and they saw and reioiced. Not only
were the people here, but even gal
liant gray" the hero of IA county race
twenty years ago, came forth from the
obscuIity of years and paced under
the wire in the lead rs he did OF yore.
There was nothing to mar the pleas
of the large crowds, for they were in
gala attire and high good humor.
The weather was perfect, not too
, hot and not too cold. On Wednesday
night good shower "laid the dust,
which had been little disagreeable,
and the last day was as fine as any one
could wish. There was just enough
OF the braclng in tho air TO bring out
IN Perfection the roses on checks that
would have been perfect even without
them. Eyes spoke TO eyes that spoke
again" and a disinterested spectator iii
There had been one) could easily have
imagined that the fountain of youth
Was near 10y.
The tournament was but visible
expression of the gallantry and admi-
ration for "beauty's smiles" which
aboun.led everywhere.
The german given by the Tazewcll
Orchestra the evening following the
tournament was made n coronation
ball in honor of the Queen of Love
and Beauty" Miss Gillette Hartman,
and her maids of honor, Misses Dollio
May, Margarcttc Gillespie, Nanola
Gillespie, and was one of the prctticsl
dances ever seen in Tazewcll. The
Orchestra also gave Il concert on wed.
ncsday night and another german
on Thursday night, both of which CAV,
great pleasure TO the large companies
present.
The shooting and the baseball ap.
pcaled to those made OF "stcrner stuff
and gratillcd the love of contest anc
victory which goes into every mans
makeup.
So long as men (and womcm live
they will love horses. Those who
missed seeing The saddle rings missco
seeing the finest collection OF saddl,
horses ever assembled in this home o
the saddle horse. Both as TO numbc
and quality they surpassed anything
ever seen here before. The exhibition
of riding by those who almost olive il
the saddle" was well worth seeing. n,
more beautiful sight can be imaginc'
than the ladies riding contests ol
: Thursday. There were two contests
one for the married ladies and one fo
f the unmarried. In the latter contcs
? twentyone couples participated, an
