hemp, corn, wheat, oats, tobacco and
live stock, all of which are produced in
abundance.
Stock-raising is also a gigantic enter
prise within itself Kentucky's own
natural bluegrass is found in all parts of
the county.
There are no lands better adapted for
grasses. Clover, timothy and orchard
grass make standard hay of commerce,
and are grown here extensively, and are
on the increase. This county is espec-
tally adapted to fruit culture. Apples,
peaches, plums and cherries grow well
and yield abundantly. To those con-
templating putting out large orchards
we call attention to Madison county.
The topography of the county is varied,
the surface being broken and carved by
numerous streams. The agricultural
land is not confined 10 any part of the
county. The best body of land for corn
raising is the bluegrass area of this
county. The creek and river bottoms
have rich, friable soil that may be Guilt
waited every year without loss of fertil-
ity, the Silver creek valleys overlooking
almost every year, and sediment sew
eral inches thick is deposited upon the
land, keeping it up to the highest degree
of fertility.
There is not county in the State
better adapted to livestock interests.
The climate is of such nature that
cattle, hogs and sheep thrive on the
common pastures nine months in the
year without extra attention. Madison
county is abundantly supplied with
water. Rivers, creeks. springs and
branches form perfect net work. The
water Of these creeks is pure and clear
as crystal.
While Madison county offers great in
ducements TO manufacturers on account
of abundance of raw material and water
power. yet she offers greater induce
ments to those who desire 10 engage in
horticultural, agricultural, livestock
and poultry business.

One of the traits of wide-awake,

good trait, for while sometimes it leads
one into making slightly exaggerated

healthy feeling for the individual, and
at all times conducive to the prosperity
and growth of his city. 1t makes one
vigorous in defense and persistent in
undertakings; it is an incentive to in

tented and therefore happy. Believe in

AS to its manufacturing advantages,
a large quantity of raw material, cheap
and satisfactory labor, low cost of living
and proximity to market are the points
and most important advantages for
seekers of manufacturing establish
ments to consider.
A simple statement of setting forth
the city of Richmond as it is today, Civ
ing salient features chiefly, and modest
ly pointing to what seems possible con-
lectures as TO future prosperity, may
not be amiss in this edition. The City
of Richmond. with population of
nearly nine thousand, thriving and pros
porous, is located on the L. & n. and
L. & A. railroads in the central part of
Madison county, of which it is the judi
cial seat. Since its inception in 179S, it
has never experienced any fictitious
growth, but has developed slowly, surely
and steadily as the country around and
about it has made advances in agricul-
ture, stock raising and other kindred
sources of farm revenue, and during the
past four years its growth has been very
marked.
Richmond challenges attention be-
cause it is one of the most delightful
towns of residences on the continent;
because of its salubrious and tempered
climate; because of les low cost of liv-
ing; because of its healthfulness and
low death rate; because of its freedom
from epidemics and contagious diseases;
because of its educational advantages;
and last, but not least, because of its
business opportunities manufacturing,
mercantile and professional. The coun-

as it is of a progressive nature it wants
more factories-and there are excellent
opportunities for them here-more peo-
pie, but at the same time it wants them
of the right sort, of the kind that will
become interested and aid in the ad-
vancement of the place, in making Rich
mond, in fact, the peer of any city of
like, or even greater population in Ken
lucky.
To any whom this paper may reach
and who are contemplating a change of
business site or residence, no better
place can be found than Richmond, for
its natural and acquired advantages are
undeniable. To those who may desire
further particulars regarding the city,
The Climax respectfully suggests that
they write to the Mayor of Richmond,
or to any of the many representative
people whose names appear in this
paper, any of whom will be glad to give
any additional information, for, be it
understood, Richmond citizens are,
without exception, progressive and en-
ergetic, and have at heart the present
and future prosperity and welfare of the
city they are pleased to honor by calling

James French was then county sur
veyor, elected in Virginia, and the coun-
ty Court of Madison county ordered him
to survey and lay off certain lands for
the use of public buildings, prison
bounds and stray pens, and in 1898,
Richmond became the county seat, and
the foundation of our beautiful city
began.
Madison county is delightfully."- situated
in the Central part of Kentucky. Its
towering and majestic hills stand out
like grim sentinels in the eastern part of
the county. A county where all is
peace, challenging all the world to COM
pete with it in grandeur and scenic
beauty. Its location, one of its chief
charms, which, like the airy fairies of
old, are reckoning to the stranger to
come and find happiness and content
ment within its borders. 1t has been,
and is at present, the home of many
distinguished men. Ii requires but
gentle puff to watt back the misty veil
of the past and there to gaze in rapture
upon immortal fame of those men whose

try surrounding Richmond is rich, and
all kinds of field crops, vegetables and
fruit are grown. The great advantages
of cheap living are at once apparent
here. People in all grades of life are
enabled to live easier, happier and more
comfortable here than in many other
places, where expenses are higher.
The city is lighted by both gas and
electricity-and has an abundance of
pure water for all domestic and fire pro-
lection purposes.
The police department is efficient and
the fire department excellent. The city
officials are men every one of whom is
deeply interested in the future of Rich
mond. and are pledged. without regard
to party politics, to do all in their power
to make Richmond larger and better
city.
There are many miles of well-paved
streets, sidewalks of cement and stone,
and convenient alleys, while the road
way approaches to the city compare
favorably with any in the State.
Richmond has churches of nearly all
denominations, educational advantages
equal TO any in the State, a fine opera
house. good hotels, three newspapers,
viz; 1.-The Register" 'sThe Panta-
graph, and 1.-The Climax" In Rich
mond is located the Eastern Kentucky
State Normal School, and Madison
Female Institute, which are among the
most favorably known institutions in the
country.
The business blocks are unusually i'm
posing for city of its size. The bank
ing interests are represented by four
solid institutions, all doing successful
business on a conservative basis, the
officers and directors of each being
among our most prominent and trust
worthy citizens.

the retail merchants are full and COM

carried by similar stores in the large
cities. hence it is absolutely unnecessary

to go outside of Richmond to make pur-
chases of any description. The pro-
fessions are represented by progressive
physicions, dentists and attorneys, while
the real estate agencies are conducted
by men thoroughly familiar with realty
and property values.
Among the many advantages of Rich
mond are low taxes, low rents, excellent
factory sites, no sympathetic strikes,
healthful residence locations, excellent
educational facilities. many churches,
and excellent shipping accommod ations
But few cities have such beautifully
shaded streets, the trees bordering them
lending a most peaceful and home-like
appearance.
While the Improvements in Richmond
have not been rapid, they have been
substantial, and the citizens are ever
ready to grasp and push to a successful
issue any measure that is for the better
ment of the city.
With every facility for transportation,
and an agricultural population steadily
increasing and widening and strength
ening the home market, the incentives
to energy and rewards, open 10 enter

celled by any city in the Union of pro-

invitation for an investigation of its
claims.

Churches of Richmond
Our Religious Organizations.

The spiritual welfare of Richmond is
taken care of by Churches of the follow
ing denominations: Baptist, Presbyter-
ian, Christian, Methodist Episcopal.
Roman Catholic, Episcopal and several
coiored denominations. The Church
buildings are in the main large and
commodiOuS.
That great interest is manifested in
all the religious services as well as in
the work of the numerous auxiliary So
cleties, and that the various Pastors are
earnest workers in the cause, is evident
from the high moral tone of the city.
Richmond is particularly free from the
rougher element, and crimes of any de-
scription are rare indeed, and this con-
dition1 is undoubtedly due in great
measure to the good influences which
radiate in all directions from our re-
ligiOus organizations.
