SKETCHES.
]. eager Yates.

Thirty-seven years ago Mr.. ]. eager
Yates, a native of Adair county, blew
into Louisville and accepted position
to travel for the well known hat
house, Swami Abraham & Co. His
samples were soon ready, and without
experience as drummer, he started.
He had the advantage of knowing
every retail merchant from Louisville
to BGrkesviIle, and he had no misgiv-
ings as to his ability to sell goods-but
on his first trip he was a little too
clever with his samples-and when he
reached BurkeSvile he discovered that
he had given away, TO friends along
the route, all his sample hats. Full of
energy and nerve, he was not dismay-
ed. He ordered fresh supply of sam
Piles, and from that time for many
years he was constantly on the road.
In fact, he became one of Swami Abra-
ham & Co.'S most valuable men, and
when he quit the house TO engage in
other business, it was with reluctance
that his firm parted from him.
Mr.. Yates has at all times been a
busy and very reliable gentleman, and
for some years has been engaged in the
manufacture of overalls, and has es-
tablished an immense business through
out the State He was never selfish,
ever ready TO lend helping hand in
cases of distress or when public inn
proVements were needed. When he
was quite young man, living on his
fathers farm at Gradyville, a tramp
came along one cold day, and he was
coatleSs. Jim eager was wearing a
good one and had others at home. He
could not stand to see the poor man
suffer, and removing his coat he hand
ed il to the tramp, saying: "Take this,
my friend, you need it worse than do.
The wayfarer left rejoicing, and Mr..
Yates went to his fathers residence
and donned another coat
Mr.. Yates is well-known to every
body in this part of Kentucky and
every body knows that he has been
successful business man. could write
how successfully he used the tuning
fork in his earlier days, but it is un-
necessary, as every body knows he is
musical and always on time.

ness of the Company. They put on
another truck, and the woodwork of
the one that was burned, is being re-
built, and all necessary fixtures Sc
cured, and in about three weeks this

While the loss to the company is con-

reported, as a large quantity of the
goods was only partially damaged.

Russell County Advancing.

For a great many years in the past
Russell county was known as a brady
county, great deal of the stuff being
manufactured annually, but a very
perceptible change has been made, and
to-day there is not dryer county in
the State. The writer was in James
town the first two days of the term of
circuit court, now in progress. The
first day was cold and rainy, very dis
agreeable. A very large number of
the natives were in attendance, and
we we're constantly mingling with the
crowd. During the entire day we did
not see but one man under the infiu-
ence of liquor, and he does not reside
in Russell county. This speaks
volumes for the good people, who years
ago were greatly annoyed by parties
who were almost constantly using too
much brandy. We spoke to gentle
man about the change in conditions,
and he said: "The lid is on tight in
this county, that if man was brought
before court, charged with making or
selling, by the time he got through
paying fines that would be heaped
upon him, he would be an old man,
granting that he started young". No
county could have a more enviable
reputation than the one who is deter
mined to drive whisky from its bor-
ders. One gentleman said to US: "that
some times spirits were shipped in, tc
be used for other than medical pur-
poses, and we are going to put stop
to that procedure.
jamestown is steadily improving, a
number of elegant homes having been
built in recent months Also the new
Methodist Church building is about
completed, and the old Christian
church is being remodeled. The bust
ness of the town was fairly good during
the first week of court, and the farm
erS with whom we talked were rejoic-
ing over their bountiful crops.

This paper has called the attention
OF the campaign Chairman, time and
again, of the necessity of organizing
for the purpose of getting the vote
out. Every Democratic voter in
Adair should be at the polls on the
It'll of November. If there should be
failures to vote there is no telling how
large the Republican majority will be.
If you believe in the policies of Wood
row Wilson, go to the election and
cast your suffrage, and tell your friends
to do likewise.
