RICHMOND ELECTRIC AND POWER
COMPANY.

Prominent among the metropolitan
advantages which in many ways Rich
mond possesses is the excellent sys-
TEN of electric lighting supplied and
maintained by the Richmond Electric
and Power Company. This enterprise
was founded in 1898, passing into the
hands of the present company in 1901,
since which time the plant has been
rebuilt and the facilities augmented to
such an extent that the company is
prepared to meet oil demands that
may be made upon it. CONTEXT with a
moderate return on the capital invest
ed. the terms charged bv the Rich
mond Electric and Power Company are
extremely liberal. while the quality
and reliability of the service rendered
is not to be surpassed in any town Of
the State.
The power house is equipped with
three dynamos of 100. IS and 20 kilo-
watts each. respectively: two 150-horse
power return tubular boilers, one 225
horse power Russell Corlis and one
125-horse power Buckeye engine. The
equipment is all modern and of the
best, and the service is better than in
any city the size of Richmond in the
State. and equal to that of any city
in Kentucky regardless of size. The
business of the company is street and
Domestic lighting and power service.
Richmond is one of the best lighted
cities in the State, forty-three arc
lamps and one hundred and forty-fve
large incandescent lamps being used
Not only are the streets brilliantly
lighed. but the alleys as well, this
perfect lighting being a great protec-
ton TO orr citizens AGAINST burglaries
and holduns. as statistics show that
crime of all kinds is less where cities
are well lighted.
f. f. Rean. President of the General
Engineering Company of Cleveland. o.,
after thorough investigation of the
plant here pronounced it the best small
plant in the country.
Electricity is ranidly superceding all
other forms of artificial lighting in
public use and estimation. That this
is so is due to the practically universal
RECOGNITION of it's superior quality
adaptstion and convenience for light
ing PURPOSES. This is true of electric
light not only in the ordinary field of
nsehrl service but more especially as
il lends itself TO original and studied
effects in ornamental and display light
ing.
It's liberal use for show-window adj
vertising, electric signs and general
Duhlicitv effects has become a valued
and permanent asset in the business of
the day.
TIE advent of the Tungsten" lamp
has practically effected a reduction in
the cost of electric lighting of so Der
cent as compared with the carbon fla
ment lamp in universal use several
wears ago. and this, together with the
improved designs of re1ectors. etc,
has effected large Improvement in

having learned the trade from start to
finish. He is prepared to give esti-
mates on, and execute, any work in
his line, no matter how large. and as
he employs none but expert workmen
he is in a position to guarantee all
work to be satisfactory in every detail.
He carries a large assortment of wall
papers in all grades, and where he
is given the work of hanging, sells
the paper at cost.
During the three years that he has
been in business for himself in Rich
mond he has painted and papered a
great many houses and stores. and he
respectfully refers you to any, or all.

of 1900; was elected to the United
States Senate as a Democrat in 1902,
to succeed William j. Deboe, Republi-
can, and took his seat March 4, 1903.
His term of service expired March 3,
1909.
He is President of the American
Peace and Arbitration League, which
has a membership of over five thou
sand in the United States.
Hon. James B. McCreary is being
strongly urged to make the race for
the Democratic nomination for Cover
nor of Kentucky, and he has received
about one thousand letters along this
line. AS these letters came from nine
ty-two counties, it is proof positive
that the desire to again see him in
the gubernatorial chair is not con-
fined to any one section, but is uni
versal. Moreover, between sixty and
seventy Democratic newspapers in the
State have already come out boldly
for him, believing that he is the only
man who can carry the party to vic
tory. These unbiased appeals must be
particularly fiattering to Senator Nc
Creary, as they are entirely unsolicited
and this pressure is being brought to
and honestly said that he would never
accept another political nomination.
Yet we feel convinced that the public
spirit within him, and which has in
years past made him of so much SER
vice to his State and Nation. will
again prevail, and that he will put self
aside and consent to allow his name to
be used as a candidate for nominal
ton, and when nominated by the Dem
ocratic party for the Office of Govern
or OF the great Commonwealth of Ken
lucky, we predict for him election by
an overwhelming majority.
Since the foregoing was written the
wishes of Senator McCreary's hosts of
friends have prevailed, and he has con-
scented to become candidate, and has
so announced himself.

Central Kentucky Cigar
Manufacturing Company

The Centeral Kentucky Cigar Manu-
featuring Company was organized and
incorporated ten years ago and are here
to stay, for the increase in business, and
particularly within the last few months,
show conclusivey that good cigars are
appreciated. The Company manufac
ture various brands and grades of cigars,
among them, La Superba, 10, 10, and
% cents; Alhambra, 10, Is cents; Santa
Luis, 10 cents; Prandennial Club, 10 10
cents, and Prandennial Boquet, Prinz
Heinrich, Pioneer and Hustlers, cent
cigars. OF these Alhambra, and PrinZ
Heinrich are the best know, and are I'M
doubtedly the best cigars on the market
for the price, as is freely acknowledged
by particular smokers who have tried
them. The standard of these cigars will
never be lowered, and will be always the
same as now. The business is exclusive
ly wholesale, and covers the local trade
and all of Central Kentucky, and all
leading local and out of town dealers
carry the cigars manufactured by this
company.
In addition to the brands enumerated
above, a specially is made of private
brands to order.
The Central Kentucky Cigar Manu-
featuring Company, in addition to its
numerous other brands, has Just placed
upon the market a new cigar, called
Governor McCreary. This cigar is man
ufactured from the best tobacco that
money can buy, and is made by expert
workmen. and it should commend itself
to smokers who are looking for a par
ticularly fine cigar for five cents. This
cigar will always be kept at the highest
standard of perfection in order to do
credit to the honorable gentleman for
whom it is named, and if it is as sure a
winner as Governor McCreary will be,
its success is assured.
The officers of Central Kentucky
Cigar Manufacturing Company are c.
II. Naught. NJ. D., President; S. n.
Moberly, Vice President; c. W. Naught,
Secretary, the office and factory is locat-
ed on West Main street, opposite Glyn-

Professor Hamlet is one of the
most influential citizens and successful
school men in Kentucky. He is life
long and active Democrat, and a man
whose intelligence, experience and en-
ergy splendidly fit him for the posi-
ton to which he aspires. Prof. Ham,
let's activities touch many phases of
life When he went to Hopkinsville
from Henderson as Superintendent of
Public Schools there were but two
buildings. With the completion this
year of the High School building. there
will be six, at cost of 100000. and
the faculty of twenty-three teachers
has been increased to forty-six.
Beginning his career as a teacher in
Hardin county, he has since held the
co-principalship of the public school
and Normal College in Larue county,
the principalship of the graded school
in Corydon and the principalship of
the city and county high schools at
Henderson. For the sixth time he has
been reelected superintendent of the
Hopkinsville schools. He is an orator
of ability and popular member of the
Elks and other fraternal organizations
and clubs, and many Democratic
newspapers throughout the State are
speaking in the highest terms of Prof.
Hamlett's candidacy. He is one of
the best equipped men in Kentucky
for the position, and will have the
hearty and enthusiastic support not
only of Western Kentucky, but of all
who know him.
He is a graduate of Hampden-Sidney
College of Virginia with the orators
medal of his class. He served as pres
ident of the State Educational Associ-
alton with distinguished ability and
also as member of the State Board
of Examiners under Superintendent
Fuqua. From study and experience he
is master of the school problems of
Kentucky and is particularly interest
ed in the improvement of the common
schools, and we. are convinced that
If he receives the nomination, he will
be elected by large majority.

baking anything, from wholesome
bread to delicious cake. The business

made to all the surrounding country,

The East End Mills are always in
the market for wheat, corn and grain
of all kinds, for which they pay the
highest price.
The mill was originally conducted
by Sanders Brothers, and in June last
