Chairman Joseph p. Gaffney, of Coun-
ellis Finance Committee, said:
"The passage of the loan bills by the
people is nothing moro than an indica-
ton Of their will to increase the city's
Indebtedness. We must now pass the
bills first in Common Council and then
at separate meeting of Select Council
II is not probable that the official returns
will be in before May 49, which is the
date of the next meeting of Common Coun-
Gil. Therefore, we will have to wait until
June 1 to introduce the bills into Common
Council. Following their introduction
into Common Council they must be adj
vertised for four weeks, making II possi-
BILE to pass them in Common Council the
first week in July. A week must elapse
before they are taken to Select, therefore
II will be the second week in July before
the bills can be ratified by both branches.
1t will not be before August 1 that the
money is available. However. we are
going to stick at 1t until everything is

In all professions science has made
wonderful progress within the last
decade. In this day and time the pos
sibilities Of mankind are hard to
reckon, or limit. Many things are be
ing accomplished daily that would
have been considered impOsSibilitieS
in the time of cur forefathers. No
advancement of professional men has
been of greater worth to civilization
than that of the undertaken and en-
balmer. The licensed graduate en-
balmer is as necessary and as much
sought in the present century as *
the physician, lawyer or dentist. His
skill and knowledge are necessary
f2ctors in the human family today,
for no one cares TO employ the SER
vices of an unskilled funeral director
and embalmer.
Stanford has citizen who is thor

Beazley, StanfOrd's capable and eff

There is not more reliable, nor
skilled embalmer to be found in the
country than Mr.. Bcazley. He OF
crates his own funeral equippage

handsomest and most complete in this

sTANFORD'S STOCK YARDS.

The Nunnelley Stock Yards IS
potent factor III the Industrial HE,
of Stanford, and there are few enter
prises that can approach it in impor-
lance and the immense volume OF
business it transacts annually. Es-
tablished eight years ago by Mr.. A.
T. Nunnelley. its influence and scope
of usefulness has increased with the
passing years. until today 1t is known
throughout the entire State and IS
now the third largest stock yard IN
Kentucky. The capacity Of the yards
is from 800 to 1000 head OF cat
tie, besides being equipped for hand
LING hogs. sheep, horses and mules.
The number of cattle handled an
nuallv will reach the enormous fig
ures of between 5000 to 10000 while
hundreds of head of horses, sheep:
and hogs are also bought and sold
through this enterprise. Lincoln is
one of the foremost counties OF the
State in live stock raising, and these
wards not only enable stock ralsefs
of the county to find ready ruf-
chaser for their stock, but hundreds
of head from other counties are snip,
ped. and driven into Stanford and
placed in these yards, where they are
purchased by buyers from all sec
tons of Kentucky.
A notable feature of this business
is that it has the reputation of secur-
inc the highest prices for live stock
of any yards in the country. And it Is
fully merited, for those who offer
their stock for sale through the Nun
nelley Stock Yards are never disap-
pointed but realize the highest prices:
This enterprise has meant untold
worth to Stanford for its sales will
reach the fabulous figures of over
1925, 900 annually. The yards are now
managed and conducted by Mr.. L. w.
Jones. lessee, who is an expert live
stock man, and who is known the
country over for his fair and square
dealings with his patrons. A nominal
sum of 10 cents per head is charged
for lotting and sheltering cattle.
On court days in Stanford may be
seen hundreds of head of cattle, be-
sides horses and other live stock
which are brought here to be market
ed. BUYERS in all parts of the coun-
trv know that the character of live
stock offered for sale here is among
the best in the country to be had.
! There is always a good demand for
stock offered for sale through these
yards.
Mr.. Jones is also a partner in the
firm of Jones & Cress, dealers in,
and buyers of, live stock of all kinds.
| The firm is composed of Mr.. j. M.
Cress and T. w. Jones' They also
maintain offices in Stanford.
