MAYSVILLE PIKE
A SURE GO
Additional Funds Necessary to
Build Model Highway is
Raised.

The farmers along the Mays
vile pike, when informed that
the government had signifed its
willingness to put up one-third
of the $4,000 additional need
ed in Montgomery county, were
determined that so small a sum
as $4,000 should not stand in
the way of so grand an improve
ment and have raised the same.
Bath county citizens have al
ready subscribed the extra
amount needed there and the first
model highway in Kentucky,
built with government aid, is
now a certainty.
Actual work will begin in the
early spring and will be COM
pleted by November, 1st, follow
ing. AS the government never
does things by halves, it can. be
depended upon to see that the
work is done right and we re-
joice that all doubt about the
matter is removed.
We congratulate the liberal
citizens of Montgomery and
Bath counties, who have made
this grand improvement possible
and hope and believe this road,
when completed, will stimulate
public opinion and lead to the
scientific improvement of other
highways in this and neighbor-
ing counties.

TOBACCO MARKET

The tobacco market in this city
is extra good and the farmers of
Montgomery and adjoining coun-
ties will make no mistake in
bringing their tobacco to this
city. There has been nearly on c
and one-half million pounds of
the weed sold since the market
opened here and both houses
now have their floors crowded
for every sale. The prices OBJ
tanned at the Farmers House
Monday were especially good,
and the better grades of to-
bacco are bringing better prices
than they did last week with the
lower grades also showing a ma
terial increase. We would say
the market was at least to 4
cents higher than at any previous
sale held this season.
Quite a crowd was present at
the sale Monday and the prices
obtained were very satisfactory
and reflections were very few.
The houses are in the hands of
competent and accommodating
men and you will be treated fair
ly and impartially.

COMES TO CLOSE
Rev. H. d. Clark, Most Beloved
Man in City Called to Last

finite wisdom and mercy saw fit
to call to Him, the gentle, loving
y spirit of Reverend H. D. Clark.
Mr.. Clark had been i'll since last
Tuesday, suffering with heart
trouble but was thought to be
improving until Monday night

and con siderate of the feelings
of others as woman and had
the love and respect Of everyone.
Mr.. Clark was born near Eu-
reka, ILL.,, November rs, 1889 and
was educated and graduated at
Eureka fifty one years ago. Last
Wear che attended the graduation
exercises of his college and made
an address to the class. His

torates in Illinois including Pitts
field, Quincy and Bloomington.
He was also pastor of church
in Baltimore, Md. He came

-i-is ministry here he has preach
ed 300 funeral services and Of
ficiated at over 700 weddings.

grand example of the Christian
principles he taught.
Sleep on beloved friend. Thy
tender hands ever ready to help
others, or guide the faint in the
paths of rectitude, have forever
ceased their labors. Thy silvery
voice which hath so often cheer

The children finish in the grad,s6
school. The mother urges the "oAd
man" to send them away to the north.
In the north the dazzle and dash Of the
life at its height are too much for them.
They are delighted, yea, intoxicated.
They never return to the quiet little
cottage on the farm; hence the story
Of three generations Is woven into this
music and interpreted to the audience
by a band, an orchestra and O gles
club.
Not altogether unfit Is the student
band for the mission which the former
Illinois bandmaster sets for himself.
Many Of these students are raw re-
cruits fresh from the farms, villages
and homes where life Is daily enacted
as Captain Smith seeks to stage It.
Though the task of drilling them into
musicians is hard one they never
theless bring to their instruments an
understanding Of and sympathy with
the life Of their music. They are not
musicians by trade and never will be-;
they are fifty of the 1900 students who
come yearly to the school for trades Of
one kind or another and who pick mp
music incidentally.
The present tour is the third ono Of
the kind the band has taken and by
far the most ambitious. Those pre-
vious were satisfied with twenty, thir-
ty or forty stops. In each case the
manager. j. D. Stevenson, has had re-
peated demands to extend his time and
Journey. On this trip he Is endeavor-
ing to meet all the demands Of cities
along the route.

sic Captain Smith has something moro
In view than the mere applause Of the
populace. He wishes rather in the
main to teach the beauty and dignity
Of Negro music. Lest through the
symphonies and variations Of the band
the audience should miss the real in
depreciation Of the melodies Captain
Smith has thrown on the canvas the
story Of "Steal Away" that the audi

Of fre balls made of tow saturated
