Sunday night the residences or
Mr.. W. Lois Thompson and that of
Mr.. Dan j. Prewitt, near Prewitt's
Station, this county, were entered
and a small amount of money taken
from each. No other valuables OF
any kind, so far as can be found,
were disturbed.
AS soon as the crime was detect
ed, bloodhounds from Lexington were
hastily summoned and placed upon
the trail. The dogs went from Mr..
Thompson's house to the railroad
and from there down the railroad to
Mr.. Prewitt's house; after leaving
his home, they returned to the rail-
road and followed the railroad until
they reached the C. & o. passenger
depot at Mt. Sterling. Although this

COL. HAMILTON CRITICALLY ILL

The many friends of Col. A. W.
Hamilton, one of the foremost citi-
Gems of Kentucky, will be grieved to
learn that he is critically i'll of urae-
mic poisoning at his home on High
street in this city, and his recovery
is considered as doubtful. He is I'M
der the treatment of DR.. J. A. Van
SAINT, of this city, and DR.. Wheeler,
of Lexington, and everything that is
possible is being done for his relief.
Col Hamilton was stricken i'll FRI
day and since that time his condition
has gradually grown worse. During

has rendered valuable service to his
country as a member of the local
draft board and it is the sincere hope
of many friends that he may be
spared to further serve his country
and fellow man.

NO GENERAL EXEMPTION
OF MARRIED MEN

No general exemption of married
men simply because of their married
status is contemplated by the War
Department in preparing for the pro-
posed extension of draft ages, Sec
rotary Baker told the House Mill
tary Comittee on the new admins
tration man power bill. "Many mar
ried men ought to go and fight as
freely as single men," he added.
Secretary Baker said that because
of objections to calling boys of Is
he had planned to defer their call
as long as possible and would not
object to a provision in the bill max
ing separate class of men between
10 and 10 and for deferring calling
them.
In extending the draft ages Sec
rotary Baker said the suspension of
an academic education was an "un-
solved problem" He said it would be
most unfortunate to have all col
legiate education stopped, but said
he was against the exemption of col
lege students as class because it
was Thoroughly undemocratic."

Information furnished by officers
of vessels attacked by German sub
marines along the American coast
has strengthened the belief held by
several experienced officials at
Washington that the enemy raiders
have had communication with per-
sons on shore and may even have
landed members of their crews in
an effort to secure reliable informa-
ton. The Navy Department, Off
cially, refused to indorse this belief
though admitting the possibility.

BUSINESS PROSPERITY
EFFICIENT ADVERTISING

Every wide-awake Busiress Organ
ization knows that the principal cause
of efficiency in Advertising is not Adver-
Using as Method, but its being poorly
done.
Concrete examples fully demonstrate
that forceful, p rsistent, regular, timely,
truthful advertising brings results.
II not only informs the reader what
is on the market for him to buy, but at
the same time he is shown where his
wants may be supplied.
The Weekly Newspaper, more than
any other medium is the mouthpiece of
any given city or community.
To its columns people turn first for
the latest news. This is only natural.
Next they read the advertisements.
If the Advertisements are carefully
prepared, we'll laid out and given appro-
pirate typographical form, the advertise
nlent will be read as welcome news.
Think this over, Mr.. Merchant. If
YOU have not the time to prepare read
able copy, experience teaches us that it
is far better for you to allow us to assist
you in preparing your copy.
When this is done and the Advertis-
ing placed in a Medium with a 900 plus
weekly circulation, you will find more
dollars in your Cash Register, more new
customers in your store and an absence
of stock to be carried over, or sold out of
