E. B. RAY

The class, or standing. of commu-
nifty is invariably judged by its officials.
There can be no better index to its high
standard than this one fact. Certainly
if the casual observer were to form an
estimation of Garrard county on this
basis, it could be none other than the
highest. And among those who are
prominent and efficient workers, none
stand out more prominently than does
the present deputy assessor, Mr. E. b.
Ray, who has announced his candidacy
for nomination of Assessor of Garrard
at the next Democratic primary. Mr..
Ray is young man full of the vim and
energy that is so needful in this day
and time to cope with the situation
that daily presents itself. Born and
resred in this county he is man par
ticularlv qualified for the position to
which he aspires. 1t will not be a new
and untrIed office with him, for he is
familiar with every detail; it would
not be speculative on the part of the
voters as to whether he could fill the
office satisfactory and efficiently. for he
has served the people faithfully and
without an objection for the past two
years. He knows the valuation of
Gsrrard Co. lands; he is familiar with
its topography, its resources and ad-
vantages; he knows the taxpayers. and
they know him to be gentleman of the
highest honor and strictest integrity
combined with sound judgment and fair
and impartial decisions. Mr.. Ray s
long line OF ancestors were of the blue
stocking democrats, and like his fore
fathers he too. is an ardent supporter
of the administration. That his election
will be certain is not feared by hi.
many friends who want him elected by
the biggest majority ever before polleC
by a candidate. And there is little
doubt but that he will be the mex
Assessor of Garrard.

The City of Lancaster Is now with.
out water supply. 1t will take an
unusual rain for this sason of the year
to give any immediate relief. But the
most serious side of the situation is the
future. The leaks in the lake are be-
coming larger and the consumption os
the water by the public greater. Any
dry season the city will be out of
water for months ~. ,asan, cour-
Gil is in no way responsible for any mis-
takes in the location or construction of
the present plant. AS much as it may
be regretted, that we have so serious a
matter before the city. complaining of
past mistakes will not accomplish any,
thing. The citizens of the city must
get together and endeavor to handle
the situation if possible
What tc do and how to do it, is one
of the largest business matters the
city has ever had TO face. The people
should all cooperate in this undertaking
and let there be no mistake in any step
in the future. The health of the CON-
munity depends upon an adaqaute sup
ply of pure water for private con-
sumption and the salty of the property
depends upon sufficient water for fire
protection.

that stand out conspicuous for their
worth as industries. none Is surpassed.
possibly, by the Blue Grass Dairy and
Ice Company. manufacturers of ice and
ice cream. of which Messrs II. v. and
W.R. Basin are owners. These gentle
men have been identified with the in
dustrial progress of the town and COM
munity in such a manner that their eff
forts are greatly appreciated by the
citizens, for the firm not only supplies
the home trade with the best and purest
product in ice manufacture but the the
people throughout this section are
taken care of during the heated term
when ice is so much needed. There is
not a similar plant in this section that
is better equipped for caring for the
needs of the consumer than in this one.
The machinery is all new and of the
improved type. The industry was es-
tablished here about four years ago.
and on account of the superior grade Of
ice marketed it is never idle but run to
its full capacity to care for the large
business already established. The ice
cream plant which is operated in con-
nection, furnishes the soda fountain
and family trade in this and the adjoin-
ing counties with ice cream, only the
richest and best cream being used in
its manufacture. 1t has that home
flavor and taste that you do not get
with the products of the large concerns.
Messrs Basin have been the recipient
of many compliments on their delicious,
pure and favored creams. To be abreast
of the times and equipped for caring
for the needs of their many patrons in
other lines, they also operate a general
store. which is conducted on the cash
basis. The stock is one of the most
complete and well-assorted to be found
in this section, while the goods are
fresh and desirable. Everything in
groceries, produce, as well as notions,
dry goods. clothing. hardware, etc, is
carried.
The franchise for supplying the town
with electric lights and power was re-
Gently purchased by these gentlemen.
and they are now arranging all the pre-
liminary plans for the erection of an
immense electric plant, one capable of
supply ing all the power necessary for
lighting. driving and heating purposes.
A twenty-four hour service will be
operated as soon as they have complet-
ed the plant and installed the machinery.
This will be boon to the citizens of
the town, and something that has been
badly needed for years past. Their
franchise will become effective July
/, 1917.
