WENT TO SCHOOL

Mr.. j. Nj. Mayes, Of This City,
Talks of the Great Mis-
souri, Senator.

Mr.. j. M. Mayes, of this city, was
a school mate of the late distinguished
United States Senator George c.. Vest
VINO died at his home in Sweet Springs,
] MO-, Tuesday. Mr.. Mayes and Senator
Vest were college mates at Cen ter Col
/ lege, Danyiile, Ky, before the war one
of the most famous schools In the Sou til
and still one of the leading scho OILS
of Kentucky. They graduated together
at that college Ia July, l84S In the
same class was Mr.. Thomas III. Swo pc,
, of Kansas City, Mo-, uncle of Mr..
Stewart 8 Fleming, of this city. Talk
! ing of his old school mate who passed
away Tuesday, Mr.. Mayes said:
"Vest was not particularly noted for
his scholarship while at school, though
he was regarded as very brilliant public
speaker-the best orator in college.
At all the principal speaking events,
July and Feb. %, Washington g birth
day, he was selected as the orator of
the occasion and he always measured
up to every demand, and the school was
always proud of him. Several times
when he was preparing one OF his

would go and Vest would lock the doors
and decla,m his speeches to me, for
practice He was of very frail build,
extremely thin through the chest, but
had the broadcast shoulders | ever saw.
and very broad, expansive forehead.
He was three years younger than myself.
II remember one day number of the
boys were telling what they hoped to
make OF themselves in life. Tho mas
H. Swope said he intended to be rich
man and worth million dollars. (He is
now worth three or four million, and
one of the wealthiest men of his city, |
When it came around to Vest, he said,
Boys, if live am going TO occupy a |
high position in this government. How |
we'll he realized his ambition his twenty |
odd years of conspicuous and brilliant
service in the United States Senate
will testify. AT another time he was
saying what he intended to do. He
had fallen in love with very pretty
young girl of Danville by the name of
Sally Sneed. 81 am going to marry
Sally Sneed,' he declared, and sure
after he left school and hak
built up law practice he went bac-
and married her. He was a delight
full companion and true friend. The
asst time | saw him was in Washington,
in 1890, and we spent several hours
together living over the happy days of
our school life at Danville."

Good Advertising Defined BY Good
Advertiser.

Good advertising is nothing more or
less than the talk of good, first class
salesman, not to one individual, but to
each individual of mass. One kind of
salesman takes his time to carefully de-
tail the merits Of the goods he has TO
sell and makes his talk verbally to one
customer, while the same amount of en-
ergy, thought, salesman ability and con
vlncing argument would win perhaps a
thousand people if told through the COL
umns of the newspapers &C. W. Post,

in late years have induced some of the

have gone to California. He thinks at

town has changed in the last two
