Mayor w. o. Head, of Louis
vile, has issued the following ad-
dress which should be read by ev-
cry resident of the State.
TO THE PEOPLE OF KIN
lucky:
Louisville proud of every Ken
tuckian, is anxious for every
Kentuckian to be proud of Lou
lsville. As Mayor of Louisville
l feel that am at the head of
the foremost city of the South.
1t is the avenue from the North
to the Southern country. Through
it flows the stream of commerce,
and as time passes 1t will grow
wider and deeper.
Louisville is the greatest mar
ket in the Southwest and the
South. 1t can compete with any
city in this country. Exception
al facilities are offered to mer-
chants and others to visit this
market. Our wholesale houses
are second to none and our relail
establishments are the talk of
the country. Their displays are
Extraordinary and embrace quail
ity, style and value.
l have. been told that Louis
vile has the best dressmakers in
America. Personally, l know it
to be fact that persons come to
Louisville from Chicago, Cincin-
natl and indianapolis to have
gowns made. The mOdistes go
from here to Paris to study the
fashions. How well they are e.
quipped to serve their customers
is shown by their steadily in
creasing number of patrons.
When women select Louisville
as the place in which to have
their dresses made 1t is safe for
all others to come here to do
their shopping.
The manufacturing enterprises
in Louisville number no less than
two thousand and embrace the
production of every article that
contributes to the comfort and
success of mankind. Louisville
is rapidly becoming one of the
great industrial points of this re-
public.
1t is one of the greatest ALA
round markets for the farmer.
The greatest pillow factory in the
worll is located here. One of
the greatest wagon factories in
the world is operated here. And
SO in all lines Louisville is a
leader aud not a follower.
Louisville needs the aid of the
good people of Kentucky. 1t can
not succeed without their assist.

Fascinated Man Sees Rattiesnakes
Crawl Over Him When He Stun
bles Among Them.

Los Angeles, Cal.-"It seemed like
thousand pair of beady little eyes
were focused on me alone, their
forced little tongues glistening beau
tifully in the sunlight was almost
paralyzed with fear, yet fascinated as
they crawled over and about me-"
This was the statement OF Roy
Jones, day clerk at local hotel, who
on the previous day stumbled head
long over an embankment into a den
of rattlesnakes at the mouth of Eagle
Rock canyon.
1T seemed like lay on my back for
hours. There were scores of rattlers
around me. l was afraid to move or
even breathe. l expected some OF
them to coil up and strike me at any
moment.
One big RATHER wound itself around
my camera, and then my friend Ben
Johnson called to me. This brought
me from my trance. He climbed down
with two big sticks and l got up.
I'VE killed four or five snakes and
then got out of the way in a hurry.
Give me a den OF lions to a den Of
rattlesnakes every time. That expert
ence will always live with me. It was
