twenty hands are employed, and alt

promptly by their own wagons.
H. R. Tevis is manager, and associa-

The business is both cash and on
easy payments, and the latter can be
made in weekly or monthly payments
to suit the convenience of the pur-

however, to interest the cash customer,
their proposition being to save those

BLANToN-coNGLEToN LUMBER
COMPANY.
Dealers in Lumber, Etc.

This business was established in
1903 by w. E. Blanton, under the firm
name of Ed Blanton & Co., and under
the active management of Ed Blanton
a trade was built up that this spring
made it compulsory that the plant be
enlarged. One June Is, 1910, the firm
was reorganized and incorporated I'M
der the firm name of Blanton-Congle-
ton Lumber Co.. with a cash capital Of
100000, all paid in.

lumber dealer of Lee county, and w.
P. Williams, banker and capitalist, of
Irvine, and one of the best business
men in the State. Captain Pates is
too well known to need an introduc-
ton to our people. He has from the
time he was conductor on the old R.
N. 1. & B. railroad up to the present
time occupied a warm place in the
hearts of our people, and is one of our
most progressive and energetic men.
The officers of the company are:
Lee Congleton, President; w. P. Will
liams, Vice President; w. E. Blanton,
Secretary-Treasurer.
Preparations are being made to put
in at once a dry kiln, and the COM

that is sure to accrue as a result of
this combination of splendid business

new flooring shed with a capacity for
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
feet of flooring.

PERRY'S DRUG STORE
Henry L. Perry, Proprietor.

This well known drug store was es-
tablished over twenty-five years ago,
and was purchased of w. G.. White by
Perry & Thomas twelve years ago.
H. L. Perry was in the employ of w.
G. White from the time he opened.
After the purchase of the business
it continued under the firm name of
Perry & Thomas until the death of
the latter, last year, and in February,
1910, H. L. Perry bought his late part
ner's interest and has since conducted
the store alone.
This is one of the largest, handsom-
est and best appointed drug stores in
Central Kentucky. Its dimensions are
23x10O feet, and it is completely
stocked with drugs, medicines, toilet
articles, drug sundries, rubber goods,
novelties, perfumes, books, stationery,
confectionery, tobacco, cigars-here
being located one of the celebrated
National Cigar Stands-toilet sets,
soaps, combs, tooth brushes, hair
brushes, ETC., and a speciality is made
of correctly compromising physicians
prescriptions.
One of the attractions in this store
is a handsome modern soda fountain,
sanitary in every way, and from which
is served delicious beverages in a
tasteful manner, portion of the store
being arranged with tables for those
who wish to be seated while enjoying
themselves. All the syrups used are
made on the premises from fresh

LUMAN G. HIGGINS.
Furniture, Carpets. Etc.

Among the many house furnishing
establishments of Central Kentucky,
probably not one is more favorably
known than Luman & Higgins. The
business was opened here nearly six
years ago, and each years trade has
shown a very marked increase over
the preceding one. Two stores are
operated, one at Winchester, the other
here, and by buying for both stores in
very large quantities they are enabled
to obtain rock bottom prices, which
their many customers receive the en-
tire benefit of.
]. T. Luman and W. F. Higgins are
the individual members of the firm, the
latter being in charge of the Richmond
store. Extensive alterations are con-
templated in the store here, made
necessary by the greatly increasing
patronage. These will probably in
clude not only interior remodeling, but
a new front, which will give them
better opportunity for window dis
play of goods.

NORMAL CITY LAUNDRY
A Model Laundry.

If cleanliness is next to godliness,
then no mistake can be made in pa
tronizing the Normal City Laundry.
The laundry occupies it's own building,
6Ox100 feet, and is equipped with the
best and most modern machinery. 1t
being the aim of the management to
keep in the front ranks at all times,
nothing new in the way of laundry
machinery ever appears on the market
that will in any way add to the efficien-
cy of the service but what is immedi-
ately installed, and any suggestions
along these lines from their patrons
will be thankfully received and acted
upon.
The Normal City Laundry is the
largest and best appointed establish
ment of its kind in this part of Ken
lucky, and turns out the best work.
1t is in a position to launder anything

of the country.
In addition to the ready-to-wear
clothing, q made-to-measure, or mer-
chant tailoring, department is also
conducted. While The Royal aims to
carry only the best goods that money
can buy; it also has the exclusive sale
in this city for David Adler & Sons
celebrated clothing for men and young
men, William P. Montague and Monta-
que & Gibson hats, the equal of any
in the market, Boyden and Just Right
shoes for men, Sil-Kid shoes for ladies,
H. & p. gloves for men, Cluett shirts
and Arrow Brand collars. By making
an earnest effort to please all Gus
toners. j. S. Stanifer has built up an
excellent business, and the satisfying
part of it is that his trade is showing
very substantial increase every sea-
son.

Clothing, Shoes, Furnishings.

This well-known clothing business
was established four years ago, under
the firm name of Stanifer & Soper. In
September, 1909, ]. S. Stanifer pur-
chased his partners interest and since
that time has conducted it alone. On
January /, 1910, he moved to the store
he now occupies at the corner of Main
and Second streets, and has undoubt-
eddy one of the finest, best lighted and
best appointed clothing establishments
in this part of Kentucky. The store is
known as 1.-THE Royal" and is worthy
of the name, for ii is filed with a royal
assortment of clothing, hats, caps,
shoes and gentlemen's furnishing
goods from the leading manufacturers

A Few Facts That Should In
terest Every Climax
Reader.

When a man or woman be-
comes perfect in their work,
and makes no errors or mis-
takes, their place is in heaven,
mot 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
I with us that the errors are
. astonishingly few, any fair
1 minded person will concede
this fact.
We contend, without fear
d of contradiction, that it is the

$4s.ss2.7s ldaho's Share

Idaho's share of national forest
reserve earnings from rentals and
leases of rererve lands in the vari-
GUS counties of the state for the
fiscal year, June 30. 1908, to June
80, 1909, aggregates $48,S92.79, or
approximately only seven-teDths of
the amount received for the CORE
spending period of the preceding
year, when the treasury of the Gem
state was enriched to the extent of
71,425.46. Utah's share of the
national forest reserve fund up to
July /, 1909. is $50, 1893 40.
Although the decrease in re-
ceipts from rentals and leases OF
forest reserve lands in Idaho dur.
ing the fiscal year ending June 30
1909, is unacounted for in the
notice received from the secratary
of the forestry department of agri,
culture, it is probable that the
chief cause of the decrease is in the
regulations.
The number of head OF sheep anc
cattle Oh forest reserves during the
last year has accordingly been
much reduced over the number
previously grazed upon such re
serve.

About Our Taxes

To Whom 1t May Concern:
If your 1909 taxes are a little
higher than you expected they
would be, or if they are a little
more than they were last year;
you wonder why it is, To those
who do not fully understand the
manner of taxation the following
will be explanatory:
At an annual meeting of the
Honorable Board of County Comm
ssioners they decided npon the
amount necessary to meet the cou-
nty expenses and pay the state
obligation for the coming year.
Likewise the various School boards,
City Councils and Village Trustees
annually call their meetings and
determine the amounts of money
necessary to be raised by Special
School, City or Town taxes, and in
that way the varions levies are
made by the respective Boards,
Councils and Trustees and then the
Assessor and Tax Collector is oder
ed to collect and account for the
amount so leAied. Ifmuch money
is needed Or levied it necessitates
higher taxes.
For the year 1909 the following
levies were made against each 800.
