Mr. Gatewood, purchasing a half in

nation of force and energy which has
planted high standard of merchan-

Thus the present firm was formed
by the association of Messrs. Richard
e. Punch and Jack Graves, two ambi-
tious young men, who began life side
by side as clerks in the old estab-
lished store of Green, Clay & Chenault,
and by dint of industry, frugality and
ambitious energy they eventually were
able to link their fortunes together
in that business enterprise in which
they were tutored and prepared for
higher business life. Under their per-
sonal management the present estab-
lishment has grown and prospered be-
yond their most sanguine dreams, I'M

modern establishments in this city,
each of which is a distinct credit to
the city. The large and handsome

Few stores in Eastern or Central
Kentucky enjoy the prestige at
home and abroad that this firm has
earned. 1t is certainly an honor to
the city and is entitled to a position

valuable to the purchasing public.
A competent force of statesmen give
constant and courteous attention to
the patrons and are deservedly popular
with the buying public.
The firm is progressive in their
ideas and foremost in movements that
tend to the advancement of our city

highest character, all of which was
achieved at the expense of constant
ness life.

GROWING BULBS IN WAFER.
BY Anna Gallagher.

Have you ever tried growing flowers
in a bowl of water? If not, YOU
should try a few this winter. Procure
some good bulbs of the Chinese Sa~
cred Lily, Hyacinth or Narcissus and
plant them in bowls or deep dishes
with sand Or pebbles to hold the bulbs
in position.
Then pOur in clear water until the
bulbs are half under water and place
in a south window if convenient. or
where they Will have the benefit Of
the sunlight. Add water as needed
and protect from cold the same as
other winter blooming flowers.
All of the above named bulbs and 2
number of others may be had at any
time during the winter and are nearly
all Of them inexpensive.
Several Hyacinths or Narcjssus
may be placed in one bowl; from six
to ten will give good results Only one
Or two of the Chinese. Lily bulbs
should be planted in a bowl.
The Chinese Lily is the queen Of
plants for growing in water, Tho
blossoms are pure white with yellow
cup-shaped centers measuring one
and a half inches in diameter. They
last for several weeks and are eX-
ceedingly fragrant.
