S. J. McGAUGHEY
Artistic Photography.

That the making of artistic photo
graphs is now acknowledged as a pro-
fession peculiar to itself is not to
be wondered at. Almost anybody with
a camera can take picture, but in the
proper posing of the subject, the cor
rect arrangement of drapery, the nee
essary conditions of light and shade,
the finesse of detail, an artistic hand
and eye are factors not to be over
looked.
S. ]. McGaughey has been in the
Photographic business for seven years,
and on June Is, 1909, he purchased
the studio of the late Louis Schlegel,
which he now conducts. All descrip-
tons of studio photograph work is
done, and only high grade work is
made, particular attention being
given to children's and babies pic
lures, and to outside views. Many of
the illustrations in this edition were
reproduced from photographs taken by
S. ]. McGaughey, whose studio is at
ITO Third street.

WILLIAM S. BRoADDUS
General Insurance.

William S. Broaddus. the well
known insurance man, was born in
Madison county, Kentucky, and OBJ
tanned his early education in the public
schools. He was cashier for the East
Tennessee Telephone Company two
years, and later, for three years acted
in the same capacity for the Sich-
mond Electric and Power Company.
A little over one year ago he started
in the insurance business and has been
particularly successful from the first.
He writes Life, Fire, Tornado, Plate
Glass, Bonding and Tobacco insurance,
and represents some of the strongest
companies known, among them the
Benjamin Franklin Fire Insurance
Company of Pittsburg, Pa; Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company of
Newark, N. j.; Commonwealth Life
Insurance Company of Louisville, KY;
Republican Indemnity Accident and
Health Insurance Company of Louis
vile, KY, and the American Bonding
Company, of Baltimore, Md.
William S. Broaddus has lived in
Richmond all his life and is well and
tavorably known as an honorable, up
right young man with whom it is per-
fectly safe to have business relations
of any nature, and this fact, coupled
with the knowledge that he repre-
sents good, reliable companies who
pay all losses promptly, are the rea-
sons for the large business he today
enjoys.
His insurance offices are in the Old
ham Building, West Main street, op-
posite the Court House.

RICHMOND GREENHOUSES
John Christman, Proprietor.

established in 1901 by Albert Reisch-
spfarr, and were purchased December
IL, 1909, by the present owner, John
Christman, who came here from Paris,
KY, where he had been in the same
business all his business life. He is
a practical florist who understands the
business in every detail The green
houses are modern in every particular,
and there are four thousand five hun
dred feet under glass, and the increase
in the volume of business has been so
marked since the present owner took
charge that arrangements are now
under way to add another one thou
sand feet of glass.
The Richmond Greenhouses deal in
all kinds of flowers, towering plants,
bedding plants and cut flowers, and a
specially is made of designs and set
pieces for weddings and funerals. Par
ticular attention is also given to
church, social and lodge entertain
ments and banquets, and to all func-
tons where cut flowers, plants and
ferns are desired for decorative pur-
poses. The business is not only local
but shipments are made to neighbor-
ing cities and far-away points as well.
With greenhouses like these in our
midst it is absolutely unnecessary to
send away for anything in flowers and
plants, for aside from our natural i'm
pulse to patronize home industries,
the assortment to be had here COM
pares favorably with That to be found
anywhere, and at prices far below
those in the larger cities, and that
these facts are appreciated is proven
by the large and rapidly increasing
business enjoyed by the Richmond
Greenhouses, which are located about
one-half mile from the Postoffice
building, on West Main street, and it
is not only one of the pleasant treats,
but one of the favorite walks or drives
of the people to visit these green
houses and admire the collection of
beautiful flowers and blooming plants
always on exhibition, and which are
unsurpassed even in the leading es-
adjustments of the larger cities.

widely and favorably known Globe

One of the features of the business
is a fully appointed and equipped
Tin Shop" where roofing, spouting,
guttering and all manner of tin work
is executed in a superior manner by

two full floors, the lower, or ground,
floor being used for salesroom pur-
poses, the second floor for surplus
stock, etc., and in addition there is a
tin shop. Both members of the firm
have lived in Richmond for so many
years that they are we'll and favorably
known, and as they handle only the
best class of goods, and their roofing
and other work is guaranteed, they
naturally enjoy large trade.
The hardware house of W. D.
Buckley & Co. is located at 1915
East Main street, just below First

A Few Facts That Should In

Reader.

When a man or woman be-
comes perfect in their work,
and makes no errors or mis-
takes, their place is in heaven,
not on earth.
In a big Industrial Edition,
such as the Climax has just
published, there is bound to
be mistakes. There never
was, and never will be, a sim
liar edition published without |
some errors. When you take !
into consideration that our
edition contains sixteen
pages; eighty columns; nine !
thousand four hundred and |
forty lines of type; sixtY-three
thousand and eighty words,
and about two million, two
hundred and seven thousand
eight hundred separately
formed letters, you will agree
with MS that the errors are
astonishingly few, any fair
minded person will concede
this fact.
We contend, without fear
of contradiction, that it is the
best Industrial Edition ever
published in Central Ken

so.

The railroad took its toll Of human
lives in this section Of the country dur

man was instantly killed in Oakland,
and another was so badly injured at
point midway between Hutton and
Corinth that he died the following day
at Keyser, to which place he was taken
for treatment.

death was instantaneous. His remains
were prepared for burial at the Bolden
undertaking rooms and shipped to his

the survey of the line as directed by
the United States Supreme Court IN its
decision recently handed down
The surveying party will camp, moy-
ing from place to place as the work
progresses, for the greater part of the
distance. 1t is probable that three
months will be consumed in making the
survey. The line to be run will be east
of the Michler line and will be we'll and
permanently marked by stone monu-
ments and will forever settle the long
controversy between the States.
