South Williamson.

This is one f'the coming sec
tons of the city of Villa mson.
II IS delightfully."- situated on the
Kentucky side of Tug River and
has many advantages as a place
OF residence and profitable in
vestment. It is in this portion
OF the city Of Williamson that
many of our citizens are purchas-
ing preparatory to erecting res
licences. President w. ]. Will
hanson, of the Williamson Min
ing and Manufacturing Company,
IS starting to erect number of
new residences in this addition
right away, the brick having
been placed on I the ground for
that purpose. This is the loca-
ton where the people of Pike
county, Kentucky, will have
new Courthouse at no distant
time, and which is very much in
evidence in the minds of the peo-
pie even at at this moment. But
we are speaking of the present,
now-it is South Williamson of
today, with its beautiful parks
and broad acres of lots, that we
are speaking. We say it is GO
ing to be magnificent place of
splendid homes and broad tho
roughfares as Williamson grows
and our Kentucky friends awak-
en- to the necessities of the future
and their own prosperity. The
time is here when this suburb of
our city is looming to the front
and it shall be our pleasure in
future issues to tell our readers
about the progress South Will
hanson is making in the way of
becoming one of the best towns
in Eastern Kentucky, and shall
keep on endeavoring to link to-
gether in stronger business ties
and good feeling the people of
the great old Blue Grass State
and West Virginia.

But hasn't Williamson a hand

of course we are Dragging on

To Have Complexion
That Men Admire

"a man may admit, with great
sophistication, that powder and rouge
are necessary aids to beauty" writes
the countess OF Wenick, "yet deep in
his heart he dreams of the woman
whose loneliness needs no artificial
touching up. Women who appreciate
this, who give consideration to the
masculine viewpoint. avoid using any
thing that might indicate their beauty
is not all their own.
such women in increasing number
are acquiring the mercolized wax
habit. BY applying the wax at night
as they would cold cream, washing it
oil in the morning, they secure, and
maintain, entirely natural complex
ions. Their faces exhibit no evidence
of having been 'beautified.' Nothing is
added to the old complexion-the lat
ter, instead, is discarded. Mercolized
wax, procurable at any drug store,
absorbs the deyitalized outer skin,
gradually, almost imperceptibly. The
fresh, clear, satiny underskin which
appears, bears healthy, youthful
bloom not comparable with the fixed
artificial color"
