TWO JUICY MELONS
Sliced Up BY the Growers and PeO.
ples Loose Leaf Tobacco Ware
house Companies.

During the past season tobacco men
here at the start were greatly Wor-
ried over the prospects of the ware
houses chances of turning over pen
ny on the good side of the books for
the stockholders, and indeed they had
lots of room for thus thinking, as a
late opening and then close down
and then freez up all contributed to
the forecast that if any house played
even it would be lucky.
But things changed for the better,
and the farmers began rolling in their
tobacco and the high prices obtained
enabled the warehousemen to turn
what had the ear marks of bankrupt
season into one that actually pro-
duced profit, and last week the
Growers and Peoples had nice big
Juicy melon festival, the former de-
claring 40 per cent. dividend and
investing a neat sum in Liberty Bonds
and the latter declared 20 per cent
dividend and also had nice sum tc
invest in Liberty Bonds.
1t is to be hoped the other ware
houses Jared equally as well and thai
next season the melon -slicing will bt
more thoroughly enjoyed than this
seasons.

GOOD NEWS
Although 1t May BE the Package Con-
tanning II When Received VIII
Be u Small One.


Some twenty years ago the Padu-
cab Building and Trust Company sent
a representative into this city and
county soliciting buyers for stock IN
that concern and when he pointed his
toes toward McCrackeE county he
carried a good-sized wad of MaysViiie
and Mason county wealth, secured
from some of our best citizens.
Shortly afterwards this remarkable
Trust Company blew up" and in the
confusion accompanying such an "ac-
cident" a small dividend was sent out
to those who had come across with
their mazuma, and then 1t died out
and was forgotten.
Last week, however, the corpse
showed signs of life. A letter was re-
ceiyed here by one of the stockhold-
ers. informing him that on the SOth
day of last March the McCracken Cir
cult Court, in the action of Clip Hus-
bands, Receiver, VS.. R. G. Caldwell
ETC., declared dividend and directed
Mr.. Husbands, as receiver, of the Pa
ducah Building and Trust Company
out of the assets of that company In
his hands, to pay it to the creditors
who have heretofore filed and proved
their claims in said action.
The communication does not stat'
how much the dividend will be. but l
is hoped it will be sufficient to unable
those here to buy some Liberty Bond
and help put Mason over the top.
