IN TROUBLE.

1t was Senator J. c. S. Black
burn who said he had been ap-
preached by a friend Of the Ad-
ministration with a compromise
proposition, and now some unkind
editor calls the turn by demanding
the name of the person who con-
veyed the proposition. 1t is evil
dent the Senator has seen the drift
Of things and the corner towards
which he is pointed.
If the Senator would bring about
a reconciliation between his little
machine and that enormous organ
ization he denominates 1.-THE ma
chine" it can be brought to pass
only through friends. Now is the
time he should talk through one Of
his interpreters.

Judge Mckee, who learned from
him his business and said if it IS a
manufacturing plant you propose
TO establish and you think this IS
the place will find location for
you, you may FIX the price, and II
you should need money at any
time in your business ! will see
that you get it. and it was in this
way Mr.. Sprague was provided
with a location, and in a few days
he will be distributing $3.50 per
week through his force of laborers.
No mandatory should be per
mitted to leave the town II it can
in any way be made to his interest

A SUGGESTION.

At this time when manufacture
ers are looking for locations, our
citizens who meet with them
should see that they are turned
over to some enthusiastic member
of the Business Mems Club. We
are prompted to this suggestion by
this fact: A few days ago Mr..
Sprague was here with the view Of
locating; he had been to several
points and was more favorably i'm
pressed with Mt. Sterling than any
Of them, but no one he met seemed
interested in him or his business,
and he had decided to leave the
city when by chance he met with

ANOTHER ENTERPRISE.

Mr.. John w. Sprague has moved
here from Catlettsburg and has
rented the Mckee building, corner
of Bank and Locust streets, in
which he will operate broom.fac-
tory. Mr.. Sprague expects to in
stall the business with IS men and
will add to this number as his bus
mess grows. A hearty welcome
is extended Mr.. Sprague, and our
merchants have done the proper
thing in their promise to take his
entire output. He will start with
sapacity Of 20 dozen brooms per
day.

vile street, part OF the Col.
Thomas Johnson tract. These are
beautiful lots, on the most popular
resident street in the city, with the
most desirable surroundings. We
are calling attention to this sale,
which takes place here on next
Saturday afternoon, for the reason
that we want the patrons Of the
ADVOCATE to have an opportunity
to secure one or more of these de-
sirahle building sites, which is
certain to prove to be a valuable

The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1905-05-03

Never in the history Of Mt.
Sterling was there a more favorable
time for buying and improving
building lots. The city is on a
conservative boom. Last week
we noted eleven residences and
business houses going up, and this
week we are making mention Of
the installment of two manufacture
ing plants that begin with twenty
five working men, these adding to
our pay rolls about $3.50 per week
In addition TO these there is the
probability of locating a cannery
with thirty laborers and pay roll
of $40 per week, and a handle
factory with a weekly psy roll Of
about 900. Such a showing,
with 200 laborers and their ami-
lies, is evidence for immediate de.
mand for residences. In Mt. Ster-
ling are numerous sites for the
average buildings, but lots for the
best homes are scarce. The most
desirable lots for the most modern
homes are those offered by A.

Some OF the good citizens OF

name of County Democratic Com

Democratic nomination for State

permit the use of his name in the

LET'S HEAR FROM YOU.

When the people of Montgom-
cry set out tomato plants. gro.s
beans and corn. it would be well
that they consider the probability
OF cannery locating at this place.
We are in correspondence with a
concern now that would locate
here If assured there would be
grown large crops Of vegetables
and fruits sufficient to supply the
demand occasioned by such a plant.
Our women usually claim garden
products, and ifa sufficient number
will direct postal cards to THE MI.
STERLING ADVOCATE giving the
size OF crop each proposes to raise
this year. II would be Of material
value in securing the plant.
Now let's hear from the men and
women who would give support in
this way to such an enterprise.
We would have those interested
to be promptin their response to
this article that the Business Men s
Club may take the matter up with
the company and close a deal to
bring them here.

of a scholar trained largely in Ger

Reporters of The Nth Power.
est. clair McKelway at Yale.)

est Clair McKelway at Yale.)
There are conspicuous examples of
men in newspaper life who have
raised reporting to the Nth power.
They are not more than reporters
when they are called correspondents.
Great correspondents are reporters
plus. They are reporters and critics.
They are reporters and statesmen.
They are reporters and moralists.
They are reporters and artists. They
are reporters and diplomatists. They
are reporters and citizens of the
world. One of these was Charles
Dickens, when in the field of jour-
nalism he fitted himself as a fictionist
and an artist for literature. One of
these was Thackeray, when as a spe-
cial correspondent he learned the art
of seeing things, of putting things and
of telling about things which after
ward stood him in fine account as a
novelist, a satirist and a philosopher.
One of these must have been Victor
Hugo, whose reports of the actual
Waterloo and of the actual conditions
of criminal life, convict life, life on
the galleys and life in the slums may
be said to be an inspiration to journal
ism, idealized and placed at the service
of the spirit in man. One of these
was our own Washington Irving,
whose sketches of English life and
whose legends of the time when the
Puritan less feared the Indian on the
warpath than he did the Hollander
on the trade path can nowhere be ex-
ceeded for educational uplift and for
luminous stimulation. Another of
them is James Fenimore Cooper. He
wrote of love as well as of war, but
he wrote of war, of the forest, of the
lakes, of the wonders of nature, Of
the cataclysms of battle and of the
conquering forces which first made
our northern country the theater Of
European dominance and afterward
the theater of Anglo Saxon predomin-
|ance and civilization as against French
endeayor.

in this incident.
He had been speaking of suicide,
and denouncing it as the worst form
of cowardice and folly Life is not like
commission that we can resign when
disguised with the service. Taking
