BANK CLEARINGS
THIS WEEK LOOK
LIKE OLDEN TIMES
Business First Impetus of Con-

Election.
Real Estate Men Receive More
Inquiries.

Bank cIearings. .se25,55a

Now that the president for the next
four years Is elected, everybody has
placed politics on the shelf, and has
begun to talk business. Business in
Paducah has felt the change, and al
ready the clearings have begun to as
sumo oli-time figures. Politics has
held the front of the stage for the
last month. but even the last Of this
week the merchants have felt slighl
increase in trade, with plenty of rosy
promises for November and Decem-
Der.
Real estate has been quiet, but the
dealers have had more questions con-
Ieerning the prices OF property, and
some nibbies may result in deals. Ths
real estate dealers are optimistic, al
though a majority of the deals on are
for small lots for residence purposes.
The tobacco trade has been on the
low ebb, and the drouth has to take
most of the blame for Il. Tue weei
is so dry at present that with tn,
most careful handling It crumbles and
the dealers do not find It profitable to
move il. With good rain and plenty
OF vapor in the atmosphere the to-
bacco rehandlers would have a good
opportunity to make up for lost time
The retail merchants are ready for
the fall trade ani the display win
dows are crowded with the new styles
so artistioaliy arranged that the dis
plays attract attention. The millinery
shops are crowded with all that is
new in finery and since the openings
the winter bonnets have been moving
lively.
The river trade is still to the bank,
ialthough the. Tennessee river boats
are able to navigate. The small gaso-
line tugs have made efforts to supply
the small river towns, but the stags
of water is too low to permit the
carrying of heavy cargoes. A good
rainfall would help all lines of busi-
ness, as the scarcity OF water has
been hardship to the manufacturers
| for boiler uses, as well as for the
shipping OF goods.

Clarinda, Iowa, Nov. 1.-THE
greatest period OF railroad extension
work this country has ever had is
upon us" said re
president of d
railroad lines, VINO Is visiting here,
his oil home. The country Is enter
ing upon a period of even greater
prosperity than we have vet known.
"The morning after election | sent
myself, more than 100 kilograms, re-
leasing orders for railroad supplies
and equipment for the New York
Central lines alone, aggregatlng in
cost $31 100000. l placed these or
ders some time ago and made them
contingent on the election of Mr..
Taft. because our company believes
that should the election go against
Taft the money and commercial mar
kets of the country would be too seri-
ously disturbed to warrant US enter
ing upon anything so extensive.
81 can say positively that other
railroads of this country have either
already, or will within a few days,
release orders like these OF ours that
will aggregate $240, 900 for
equipment and for material that will
go into railroad building, extensions
and improvements OF rolling stock.
can tell you also that enough orders
have been placed with the gigantic
steel industries of this country to
keep them working for a whole year
at their maximum II they should not
receive another order.
"All this means just one thing,
namely, that the greatest period OF
railroad extension work We have yet
had is upon US. In every department
of commerce and business the coun-
try is sure to progress over and
beyond the point 1t had attained in
the fall of 9O7, when temporary lack
OF confidence and the approach oil
the national campaign conspired to
check business, and We are now en-
tering upon a period of even greater
prosperity and business activity than
we have ever known before"

Two Probable Aspirants Elect
ed to Upper Board of Next
General Council.
Hannah and Foreman Most
Likely to Preside.
TOSS UP FOR THE SHORT TERN

Local political interest the next two
years will center in the board of al
dermen, unless "a man on horseback
appears in the Democratic field in that
time. Two aspirants for the mayor
atty nomination are said to be num-
bered among the winning candidates
for aldermen, President Ed Hannah
and Alderman-elect Lucien Durrett.
President Hannan's ambition has been
known for long time. He will be
reelected president of the upper
board without doubt. Some of Alder
man-elect Ernest Lackey's friends
have been suggesting him for the hon
or. but Mr.. Lackey himself put the
quietus on the boom. He has been
an important and active member of
the lower board for two years and
his name is repeatedly mentioned In
connection with the Democratic nom-
nation for mayor He only smiles
when that idea is suggested. 'Tt's
too remote even to deny it," is Mr..
Lackey's way OF expressing his feel
lngs on that subject.
President Lindsey, of the lower
board. will retire January 1, and a
Democratic successor will be elected.
Councilman AL Foreman Is tipped for
the presidency. He was reelected to
the board last Tuesday. President
Lindsey has made an excellent pre-
siding officer. and those who have
seen Councilman Foreman with the
gavel in his hand say he looks the
part and conducts the proceedings
with dignity and tact.
The New General Council.
In the upper board 1t is a toss up
between Aldermen Durtett and J. L.
Potter. which will take the short
term, filing out the unexpired year
of former Alderman ChamblIn's term.
Alderman Wells was appointed by
Mayor Smith to the vacancy until
successor could be elected.
In the lower board Councilman
elect Lalley will take Councilman
Cornellson's place. The latter was
appointed to the vacancy created by
the retirement of David Flournoy.
The makeup of the general coun-
ell will be:
