OFFERS GOOD SUGGESTION

In response to the question
"What are the two things most ur-
gently needed for the commercial
advancement of this City," after
taking into consideration the very
bad condition of most all the main
streets leading out of this city and
alsoN the pixies for SOME distance
out into the country, would suggest
that il would be of much advantage
to this city to have the best roads
and streets that we can get for the
amount of money we are able to
invest for that purpose.
Another very important thing for
the people of this city to do would
be to adopt strictly cash basis in
buying and selling, or a "pay-up"
every thirty days and be sure to do
it, This rule, if strictly adhered to
would be the turning point in many
a mans life. If we had these two
suggestions fully carried out we
would see our city blossom like a
rose. DR.. j. f. Lockhart.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPERITY

The Lexington Leader in a pre-
face to printing Dun's Review for
the week says:
"There appears to be no pros
pect of letting down in the extraor-
binary business conditions through
out the country. With increasing
prices in all lines, the demands up
on the mills and factories continue
to tax their capacity. People seem
to have plenty of money with which
to buy and the banks are well sup
piled with idle cash"
And yet the Leader and all its
Republican companions insist that
the Democratic tariff is running the
country and that nothing can save
the country but high protective
tariff, framed by Republicans. Con-
sistency, thou art indeed a jewel =
Flemingsburg Times-Democrat.

GREAT SHOW NEXT WEEK

After more extensive and sensa-
tional publicity than has fallen to
the lot Of any other theatrical en-
terprise, d. w. Griffith's "The
Birth of Nation" will open a two
days engagement next Monday af-
ternoon at the Tabb Theatre. The
first class. metropolitan production
is guaranteed to be the one shown
here, carrying two baggage cars of
equipment, symphonic orchestra
Of musical experts, and a complete
travelling organization of so people.
Many circumstances have con-
spired to make "The Birth Of Ma
ton" the most widely discussed
play in the world. Suggested by
Thomas Dixon's Southern novel, it
embraces a far wider scope than
"The Clansman" play. Mr.. Crit
fith's new art covers $50 years of
history and pictorializes the great
est events of the war between the
states as well as those of Recon-
struction. Lincoln, Lee and Grant; ;
the early glories of the Confeder-
acy; the devastation of Gen. Sher-
mans march to the sea; the awful
siege of Petersburg; the signing Of
peace at Appomatox; the assassin
alton. of the President in Ford's
Theatre, and, the. succeeding orgy
of hate and oppression of the
Sonth-these parsonage and Incl
dents pass rapidly before the en-
thralled spectator and lead up to
the terrific climax of Part ii, which
is devoted to what has been styled
"the second struggle between the
North and the South" struggle
caused by the attempt to impose
carpetbagger rule upon the con-
quered States. The wild adven-
lures and achievements of the Klu
Klux Klan dominate, the final
scenes, which yield happy ending
of a double romance of Southern
and Northern sweethearts.

WHAT WE MAY EXPECT

As an instance of what we may
expect soon in the newspaper bust
ness may be cited the following
from the Climax Madisonian, pub
lished at Richmond. known as one
of the best country weeklies in
Kentucky:
"We issue this week only four
pages. The paper supply of the
country is so low that it can scarce
ly be obtained at any price. We
have II carload bought but we can
get only such as is sent out by the
mills. You may soon see the pa
pers of this country printed on yell
low paper"

MOVEMENT
A Home Coming Week Is Being
Suggested Throughout the
Grand Old State.

1t is being suggested in papers
throughout the State that we have
a Home Coming Week. About ten
years ago there was a Home Com
ing Week celebrated and thousands
of Kentuckians who had moved to
other states were induced to return
to the Old Kentucky home and re-
new the relationships Of other days.
1t has been suggested by the papers
of Winchester that the last week in
May or the first week in June
would be splendid time for this
gathering. OF course, all who come
back would wish to visit their home
town first and then possibly pay a
visit to Lexington, "the Hub of the
Bluegrass" and then Louisville. 1t
would bring back tender memories
of the days of long ago and afford
pleasure to thousands. We would
suggest that some organization get
back of this matter and let us join
hands with other counties and help
make the Home Coming Week of
this year one grand success.
