Fine Strawberries.

We were the recipient last Saturday
of box of fine strawberries the gift OF
Mr.. Robert NJ. Martin, who resides near
Caleast. They were homegrown, raised
by Mr.. Martin, and were as fine flavor as
we ever ate. No only did he bring US a
box of the ripened fruit, but he also in
cluded some of the green fruit and a
bunch OF blossoms in order to ''show us
he was growing the genuine article.
They are of the variety known as the
Ever bearing" and since early summer
Mr.. Martin has almost daily had straw
berries up to the present time, besides
selling a large quantity and giving a
great many to his neighbors. He pur-
chased one hundred and twenty plants
last spring and has had remarkable sue
cess with them. He says the berries
were grown in his garden and had nc
protection whatever, and that next year
he will be able TO furnish berries any
time they are wanted.

Unusual Season.

What do you know about pear trees
poisoning in November? What do you
know about crimson ram blers being in
bloom now? What do you think of a
lilac being in bloom now? All of these
things we have seen. The explanation
is that early cold and frost in October
and warm weather afterward made the
required season of those plants which
respond to cold and then warm. The
continued balmy weather made spring
again for them and they are now giving
pleasure with their beauty and fra

RICHMOND. KY. WEDNESDAY. NOV. II. 1915.
Big Turkey Market.

Richmond is essentially a big tur-
key market-one of the largest in the
State. A company composed of the fol-
lowing local buyers, S. W. Norman, M.
Wides, ]. NJ. Asbell, Moberley Brothers,
Chas. Embry and R. F. Redden, have
purchased several thousand of the birds
for the Thanksgiving market. On Sat-
urday the company shipped car con-
tanning 1,300 dressed turkeys; on Mon
day a car containing 1,S00; Tuesday a
big freight car, and today they will
ship another. This company has pur-
chased more than 5000 turkeys, paying
therefor II cents a pound, or grand
total of about $4,000 TO date. These
turkeys were all dressed and prepared
for shipment right here in Richmond,
and the large sum of money was paid
out to the farmers of Madison county,
which in turn will be spent with the
merchants of the city. On Sunday the
Company will express car of bird S
probably, to Providence, Rhode Island.
Most of the shipments have been made
to Boston, Mass, the center of the
turkey market of the world.
The wide-awake firm of F. II. Gordon
81 Co. have bought several thousand
birds and distributed several Thousand
dollars among the farmers and laborers
The turkeys handled by this firm were
prepared for shipment here in Richmond
and were shipped TO Eastern markets.
1t can safely be estimated that $40, 900
will go into the pockets of the farmers
from Richmond buyers for Thanksgiving
turkeys.

CLEANUP DAYS.

We call attention to the proclamation
of Mayor Rice in which he sets apart
two days-the 10th and Goth of No
vember-as cleanup days for this city.
Every day should be cleanup day
and it should never be necessary for the
Mayor by proclamation to call atten-
ton to this matter. However, it is a
fact that people, and sometimes the
very best of them, will forget and will
allow their premises to get in bad order
and must be reminded by the Mayor of
their duty. 1t is an obligation they
owe to themselves and to the city to
keep their premises clean so that the
city may always put on its best appear
ance and for that other better reason
of ALTO prevent the spread of disease.
Filth breeds disease and an old rubbish
pile is an excellent place for the propa-
CATION of germs.
The ladies of the Woman's Club and
of the Federated Club are interesting
themselves in this matter and are work
ing in conjunction with the Mayor.
Wagons will be provided and everything
will be done by the officials that can be
done to aid in cleaning up and beauti-
flying the city.
And now if you don't avail yourself
of this offer of the city, then quit howl
ing about the city being dirty. 1t is
put up to the people by the city of
ficials and the Woman's Clubs. Will
you do your part?

COffeen Lost Contract by $50.

Five bids were received last Sat
urday by the building committee OF
the proposed new church. Each
bidder furnished also an alternate
bid for unfinished basement.
Several bids were very close, the
three lowest varying less than $500.
Our local contractor underbid his
closest competitor, Mr.. A. r. Coffeen
of DEBORAH, by only $50. Mr.. Kiple's
bid for the building with an unfin-
ished basement was $500. We I'M
derstand it is the intention of the
committee to reduce this by the
amount of about 500 or $500 by
the elimination of several desirable,
but not absolutely essential features.
