WhistIer,s Grocery Bill.

Whistler's financial affairs were the
mingled joy and terror of his friends,
and the Pencils, in their "Life Of
Whistler" give most amusing
glimpse into this side of his life. On
one occasion he had actually run up
bill Of f600 with a Chelsea green
grocer, who at last called to insist
upon payment. Whistler came out
strong ON that occasion:
"HOW-What-why of course,
you have sent these things-most eX-
cellent things-and they have been
eaten, you know, by most excellent
people. Think what a splendid adyer-
tisement! And sometimes, you know,
the salads are not quite up to the
marl-tho fruit, you know, not quite
fresh And if you go into these un-
seemly discussions about the bill
well, you know, shall have TO go into
discussions about all this, and think
how it would hurt your reputation

new Central Botsl.

There is nothing which adds so much TO the
distinction Of a city as superior hotel accom-
modatOns, aud it is surprising with what ra-

connection there is no more attractive feature

lence, the whole Of the cuisine and culinary de-
partments being fashioned on the most liberal
plan. Everything Is arranged with view to
the comfort and convenience Of the guests.

is one we wish to call special attention to
on account of the able manner in which
it has been conducted, and which has
helped so much to advance the cause OF
Maysville. We refer to the Maysville

tablished in 1884, the first day of April
having completed a quarter century of
successful operation. They are manu-

Illerz Bros.

In reviewing the causes that have ope-
rated in making Maysville the import
ant commercial center that she now is,
and that have placed her in the proud
position of leading city, Merz Bros. can
be accorded high honors Commencing
business something over eight years ago
on rather modest scale, each year has
marked a step onward in the march Of
progress, until today Merz Bros. can lay
Just claim to being one of the largest
dry goods stores i'll Northern Kentucky,
They occupy three floors and basement,
the dimensions being 260X40 feet, all of
which is heavily stocked with everything
in the dry goods carpet and notion line.
Merz Bros. have during these years
been upright, straightforward and hon
cradle in all their business dealings and
have built up trade that is bound to re-
main with them as long as they are en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits. They
make special point of bringing on the
very latest in dress goods, trimmings,
cloaks, suits, ETC., and the people of the
surrounding country have learned that by
trading with Merz Bros. they are just as
sure of receiving strictly up-to-date ar
ticle as though trading in Cincinnati.
This firm do both wholesale and retail
business, as we'll as importing direct,
and have an Office in New York and Phila-
delphia, which probably enables them
to buy much cheaper and receive the
styles much quicker than those who are
not SO fortunate.
They employ twenty-five people, all
Of whom are accommodating and courte.
Gus to all patrons. The Messrs. Merz per
ssnally are genial, clever gentlemen,
whose many years in their worthy bust
ness career have stamped them with the
commanding presence which inspires
enc with that confidence and assurance
SO necessary in the establishment of the
ties of friendship and patronage.

The importance of Maysville as a CEN
ter to the manufacturer seeking a base
far his operations presents opportunities
urmeasureably superior to those of many
ether cities of her size. Her rates of tax
alton are low, she has unexcelled trans
pertation facilities and she is one of the
most enterprising centers of the State,
offering to manufacturers wonderful in
ducements in the way of bonuses, etc.
The city is unrestricted by natural OBJ
stacles to the enlargement of area, as are
many of the larger cities, there being
abundant room for manufacturing estab-
lishments, residences and the gradual ex-
tension of large metropolis in every di-
rection.
Not many cities of ten thousand in
hsbitants enjoy the many varied and nu-
nerous metropolitan advantages that we
do. We have an electric railway service
that would do credit to city thrice the
size of Maysville. Our waterworks ca
pacity is ample for the needs ola much
larger,population while our gas and cleo
trio light facilities are of the best. We
have the very best of Public School sys-
TENS, Churches of every denomination
and our Banks and financial institutions
are bulwarks of integrity. The city is at
present contemplating spending thou
sands of dollars oil street improvements.
The streets are to be paved with brick
and are to make a showing for Maysville
that will be a credit to her people and
their public-spiritedness.
Maysville has, no doubt, more real pub
lie spirit than half the cities in the coun-
Try. The reviews of the different lines
Of business which follow will give our
readers some idea of the magnitude of
business conducted here. Nearly every
representative house is found i'll the list,
