center Of Bath county and is the center
of the most fertile region in the State
1t is an ideal home town, peopled by
an intelligent and substantial citizen
ship, noted for their high breeding and
generous hospitality.
Owingsville is a typical Southern
town and is the home Of wealth, cul-
ture and refinement. There's not in
fact town of its population in the
State that can probably equal its COM
mercial strength and financial stand
ing.
She has a splendid and well
governed municipality and enjoys a
fine system of electric lighting. With
pure water in abundance, macadamlzed
streets and excellent sidewalks, beau
tiful shaded avenues and magnificent
homes, all of which make an ideal
home town, at once fmpressing and
most inviting to the stranger.
Here business in all branches -four
ish, because there is an unusual thrift
and progression in all lines of trade,
especially that of farming and stock
raising, which constitutes the real
business life and energy of that section.
The main business thoroughfares
show wonderful business activity and
from a strangers view point, its mer-
camille houses are ahead, III metropoli-
tan lines, of other towns of equal pop

indeed the center of great business.
Here large number Of large CONNER

large and prosperous trade. These are
stocked with modern, up-to-date mer-
chandise and are conducted by men
noted for their business acumen, pro-
gressive policies and substantial

The annual volume of business amounts
to an immense sum, placing Owings-
Vile foremost among the towns in
Eastern Kentucky.
Owingsville is a peaceful and pic

land with beautiful slopes, leading off
into valleys below and in the central
part of the county. The town has one

A. N. CROOKS
County Judge of Bath County and
a Prominent Factor in the
Growth and Advancement of
Our Sister COunty--A Man of
Sterling Qualities and a Loyal
Democrat.

The administrative duties incum-
bent upon a County Judge Of county
like Bath certainly demands a man
Of force and ability, and especially
does the Office call for a man we'll
versed in the law and its application,
a man of even and we'll balanced mind
and, lastly, absolute fairness and firm
ness.
Certainly no man in public life has
measured more closely to the standard
outlined than has Judge A. n. Crooks,
who is now serving with distinction
at the head of Bath county in a judicial
capacity. Judge Crooks has a splendid
life record and from an early age up
to the present his life has been de-
voted to laudable pursuits, and by
constant endeavor he has gradually
forged to the front ranks among Bath
county's most successful and honored
sons. Being active and full of ambi-
ton to succeed, he has engaged in
various pursuits, acquiring an expert
ence which in after years served him
profitably and efficiently In all his pri-.
vate and public undertakings.

out opposition, and when he placed

demonstrated high ideal as an ad-

the hearty approval of Bath county's
intelligent citizenship. Judge Crooks

Of Owingsville.
While wealth abounds, an economic

to 60 cents on the 800.
Ample hotel accommodations afford
first class facilities to visitors and
commercial men and visitors can reach
Owingsville from Preston, On the C. G.
o., by stage in a half hour, the dis.
lance being but five miles from the
station. Fine macadam pixies connect
Owingsville with all the leading towns
in Central and Eastern Kentucky.
Ample Geographic and telephone
service give communication with the
outside world and the mail service is
first class.
A drive from Mt. Sterling, distance
of fifteen mile, to Owingsville, gives
to the stranger a grander conception of
the real beauty and natural wealth of
Bath county and Owingsville. Along
the Owingsville pike is an ever vary
ing scene of pastoral beauty and pic
turesqueness that connot be surpassed
anywhere.
The country is undulating and dotted
with grand old trees, while the rich
fields are prolific with growing pro-
ducts peculiar to limestone SOIL
Many large estates present to view
along the winding route the great pos
sibilities Of farm life. Lowing herds
Of high bred cattle are seen on hills
and dales, while sheep and hogs abound
in large numbers. Tobacco of the
best variety, grows in healthy pro-
fusion and helps materially in the en-
richment Of the farmer, all of which
adds to the prosperity and advance
ment of Owingsville, the busy metrop-
oils Of the county.

His record at the head of Rowans
public affairs is indeed clean one,
and no Judge has ever presided over
the destiny of this county with great
err degree of ability and honesty than
has the subject of this sketch. His
every act in public life has met the ap-
proval of the masses, irrespective of
party, and the people have no reason
for regret in choosing him for four
years term.
We doubt not that Judge Riley will
so conduct himself both in public and
private life that when his four years
have expired an admiring and salts
fed constituency will reward his SER
vice with still greater honors. We say
this because of his fitness and his ex-
IRENE popularity, and without view of
appealing to Judge Riley's vanity in
the least. In conducting his county's
