COMMERCIAL CLUB
TAKE NOTICE!

The Bi-State meeting of the Mid
land Trail Association will be in
session at Elk's Home, Ashland, on
Washington's birthday, the 22nd.
We have been presented with pro-
gram. Representative men Of West
Virginia, Indiana and our beloved
Commonwealth have a place. Mt.
Sterling will be ably and pleasantly
represented as well, by a man of our
midst, fitted for the place as if
measured in length, breadth and
thickness and hewn from the quar-
ry of Kentucky Colonies, Judge II.
Clay Mckee. lie will tell of pos
sibilities, probabilities and the real
istic from the union of relentless
efforts. Through Judge Mckee Mt.
Sterling will be introduced to the
live men who have a heart for the
development of Kentucky's laudable
resources. He will tell of our 1000
and more of live wire population,
that we have an elevation of 1000
feet above sea level, that we are
within the famous Blue Grass cir

quality unequaled in the wide world,

1t is time when the business in
terests of Mt. Sterling should be
largely and well represented by just

untold resources of which Mt. Ster-
ling is the possessor.

MARKET Is
BETTER NOW
Price Has Been OF Slightly for
Several Days But is Stronger
This Week.

The sales on the local tobacco
market started off Monday much
better than they have been for the
past ten days or two weeks and it
rs said that the market has again
reached about the same figures paid
prior to that time Contrary to ex-
pectations tobacco has been coming
in rather fast and there appears to
be more in the country than was at
first estimated, and we believe the
eight million pound mark is sure to
be passed here this season.
The sale at the Robertson house
Monday shows how the market is
running, they sold 1920 pounds
for an average of $17.S1. The
Whitehall sold at their sale Monday
1880 pounds for an average of
$17.51. The Farmers house did not
have sale Monday but had the
largest floor of the season offered
Tuesday, both floors being filed, a
total of 231, 430 pounds being off
cred but this sale had not been COM
pleted at the time of our going to
press. The following will show
what the three houses here have
sold up until hits morning.
Farmers House
3,lS5,545 pounds for an average
of 1874.

HAS OLD PAPERS

In recent issue of this paper
we made mention of the fact that
Mr.. j. p. Sullivan had found some
interesting old papers dated many,
many years ago. This week Mr..
w. W. Wilson brought to this Office
some papers much older than those
found by Mr.. Sullivan. One espe-
cialTy interesting paper is a deed to
81 acres of land dated 1927 and
this land is still owned in the family
to which it was decided at that time,
now being part of the farm owned
by w. w. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson also
had an old tax receipt dated 1849
signed by Walker Bourn, Sheriff,
showing the tax rate to be 10 cents
on the $4,000 and a poll tax of so
cents. He also had another tax re-
ceipt dated 1888, signed by Isaac
Phelps, D. S. In his collection
there was an old muster notice da-
ted March 10, 1916, which was
served on Mr.. Wilson's father, the
late Jerre d. Wilson. The notice
gave specific instructions to appear
on certain dates armed and equip
ped and also gave instructions to
notify men living in a certain neigh
borhood to appear The notice was
signed by Capt. s. NJ. STEVENSON.
Three places named for the meet
ings were r. Fl. Gatewood's, Col
VIM. f. Whites and Daniel McCar-
tvs. The papers are all in first
class condition, the writing legible.

GENERAL FUNSTON DEAD

Maj, Gen. Frederick Funston,
commander of the Southern De-
partment, died at San Antonio, Tex,
Monday night, few minutes after
he collapsed in a hotel, where he
had gone with party Of friends.
Attending physicians said the cause
of death was acute Indigestion. Gen.
Funston had just finished dinner
when he fell unconscious. He was
81 years old, and had been a promi-
nent figure in the military history of
the United States Army since his
capture of Aguinaldo in the Phil
ippines. Since Gen. Funston has
been in charge of all troops on the
Mexican border, his work had been
unusually hard, he having frequent
ly been on continuous duty for
twenty four hours.
