Khartum.


 Khartum owes it's existence to an oriental form of treachery. When Khedive AIohammed Ali invaded the Sudan in 1920 he marched triumphant Iy to Shendi, where his troops were entertained at a banquet by the sub raissive natives. But while the khe- dives high officials were seated at the feast they shared the fate of the viands and were themselves reduced to funeral baked meats. Full of fury, the army fell on ,Shendi and demOl- ished 1t. Marching south, the invaders reached the junction of the Blue Nile and White Nile With the conqueror's instinct they recognized that the strip of land, with its few hshermen's huts of straw, formed ideal strategical headquarters, so Khartum finally grew into the most sensitive part Of the Su- dan organism.

ONLY TWO DAYS
More WIN the Big Removal sale Of
McIIvain, Knox & Diener Hold
Forth and all should Take Ad-
vantage Of the Many
Bargains Offered.

The big removal sale of McIlvain,
Knox e. Diener, which opened on last
Wednesday week, has drawn very
large crowds to their store on Sutton
street on each day of the sale and the
many bargains which were to be found
on last week have been greatly re-
duced in number. There are still a
number of excellent bargains in this
store however and all who are in a
quandary as to what to purchase for
Christmas presents for either friends
or members of the family should visit
this store, where they will be sure TO
find something that will suit every
one.
There will only be two more days of
the big sale and everyone that is con-
templating visiting this store should
do so at once. The largest number of
bargains that have ever been placed
before the public of this city and coun-
ty are offered in this sale and one
versed in the prices of furniture will
at once appreciate the great sacri-
fee being made by this firm.
Throughout the entire sale the num-
bers of persons that have visited the
store have spent several thousand dol
lars and all of them have left the es-
adjustment we'll satisfied that they
were getting the best bargain that
could be found anywhere. The man.
ayers of the store know that satisfied
customers are the best assets to big
sales and therefore have taken great
pains to this end.
The company will remove to their
new store on East Second street soon
after the first of the year and will
continue their extensive business of
selling furniture and conducting their
undertaking establishment from that
place.

BEST SALES
OF the Entire Season Held Yesterday
on the Local Tobacco Market When
10O,510 Pounds Sold at an
Average Of STAG Per
Hundred.

Sales Wednesday on the Maysville
tobacco breaks totaled 100,51O pounds
and averaged STAG per hundred,
which breaks all records for this mar
ket, the highest price before but little
exceeding $17 per hundred. The prices
of the weed yesterday ranged from So
to $35 per hundred.
The tobacco was sold rapidly on yes
terday and no reflections we're reported
to this office. The farmers seemed to
be we'll pleased with the price the to-
bacco is bringing, for never since the
Civil War have such prices been given
for tobacco In this state.
A large quantity of tobacco came in
all day yesterday and far into the
night The first sales of the morning
were held in the Growers house. The
weather conditions are most favorable
for curing the weed, although the rain
and bad condition of a great many of
the roads in the county is keeping a
large amount of tobacco back from the
market.
The market will close today for the
Christmas holidays and large num-
Der of prominent warehousemen will
go to their homes in other states. The
market will reopen on Thursday, De-
cember 28, just one week after the
close.
The following are the sales Of yes
terday:

SOME TOBACCO
Was That Sold at the Independents
Central Yesterday Morning.

y The Independent-Central Ware
house yesterday morning broke the
market and floor records for the high
est average of any loose leaf ware
house in this state, and It was some
tobacco that helped Billie Steele
broaden his smile over the other fell
lows. There were two crops, one from
this county andfone from Gallia coun-
ty, Ohio, that made things go up where
they were plhted on SALE Both were
good ones, an after the sales and the
figures had Aeen footed up it was
found they aWraged $20.OS, something
out Of the culinary, and who would
have thought hen years ago that to-
bacco would h4Fe reached that figure?
These figures Drove that the Maysville
market is fsf" ahead of all others in
this state.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF the Maysville Chamber Of Com.
merce Hold Interview With Mr..
Ralph 4. Thomas Of Ports
mouth Secretary Of the
Board Of Trade Of
That City.

A meeting Of the Board Of Directors
of the Maysville Chamber of Commerce
was held yesterday In the headquar-
ters of that organization in the First
Standard Bank for the purpose of in
terviewing Mr.. Ralph f. Thomas of
Portsmouth, Ohio, secretary of the
Board of Trade of that city. Mr. Thorn
as had been requested by the Board of
Directors to pay this city a visit and
have a talk with them The Board is
trying very hard to find a man to take
the place of Mr.. Thomas p. Boone,
resigned secretary of the local Cham
Der Of Commerce, and all of them
seemed very favorably impressed with
Mr.. Thomas.
Although the Portsmouth gentleman
did net state whether or not he would
consider a proposition from the local
organization or not, he seemed perfect
ly frank with the Board. Mr.. Thomas
has been secretary of the Board of
Trade In Portsmouth for a number of
years and Is reported to be live wire.
He has had much experience in con-
Quoting the Portsmouth Korn Karnlval,
which is very similar to the Tobacco
Fair and Corn Show held in Maysville
the latter part of November. He would
undoubtedly be a great asset to the
local organization and the Board of
Directors would make a wise choice
in choosing him.
However the Board will look around
a bit more before making a final choice
In the matter. They will doubtless
make choice by the middle of jan
uary. about which time Mr. Boone will
leave for Henderson. 1t is now thought
that an outside man will be chosen,
although at first it was reported that a
Maysville man would be chosen for the
position.

that it cooperated in securing en-
ployment in Nothern states for
Southern Negro laborers. But,
sho rtly before election, when il
developed that a number of
Southern Negro men were going
north to secure employment, the
government instructed its agents
to discontinue securing northern
employment for these people.
In view of it's official report show
ing that out of 26, 79l persons
applied for only l2S were applied
for in Southern states, people are
wondering how the Department
can possibly justify its order for
the discontinuance of efforts to
find northern employment for
the men who are manifestly not
wanted in the South.

News Briefs
From Washington.

Washington The high cost of
| living is probably affecting the
people of the National Capita as
seriously as the residents of any
section of the United States.
Prices of commodities classed as
necessaries of life have increased
from twenty-five to fifty per
cent, but wages remain practic-
ally unchanged. The Associated
Charities announces great ap-
prehension as to the needs of the
poor during the winter, and the
Gospel Mission, which operates
a cheap restaurant, says it has
never before had such a run as
at present from the people who
are compelled to buy their food at
a place where they can get it at
one cent per dish. 1t is very
evident that while some people
have profited greatly from war
order prosperity, there are many
thousands who do not find their
incomes keeping pace with the
increased cost of living.
