WEIGH Dep ARTMENT
STORES COMING HERE
Three-Story Building Bought On
Main Street To Be Made Home
For Successful Business

Perhaps the most important
business transaction in Richmond
in many years was consummated
here Monday when the Welch
Department Stores, of Berea
bought the Collins building on
West Main street occupied by w,
Neale Benefits furniture and un-
dertaking establishment. The
sale was made by Col. NJ. B.
Deatherage as trustee of the pro-
perty of S. N. Moberly.
Possession of the building,
/ which is large brick, three
story affair, will be given January
lst, 1920, at which time Mr.. Ben
nett's lease expires. At that
time a new and modern front will
be built, steam heat installed, and
the entire building remodeled to
make it suitable for the modern
department store which will have
its home here. Mr.. John w. Welch
of Berea, was here Monday, con-
cluding negotiations for the pur-
chase of this property. He was
congratulated on all sides upon
securing such desirable and at
tractive location. No mention has
been made of the price, but it is
said to have been around $4,000.
The WEIGH Stores at Berea will
continue along the, same lines as
in the past, of course.
The coming of Welch's Depart
ment Stores to Richmond will
mark a decided epoch in the bus
mess life of this city and COM
munity. Conducted along mod
crnly progressive ideas, the sue
cess of these stores at Berea has
been tremendous. To their young
proprietor, as we'll as to their
founder, his late father, is due the
major portion of the credit for the
success that has been attained.
Buying in immense volume and
selling at the lowest margin, the
NVelch Department Stores have
commanded a patronage, which
extends far beyond the confines
of Madison and adjoining count.
les. There is probably no busi-
ness in this part of the state OUT
side the cities, whose advertising
even approaches the magnitude
and extent of that done by this
establishment and to the publici-
ty which it gives to the bargains
it offers, large portion of the
credit for it's tremendous success
is ascribed.1
The coming of Welch's to Rich
nond means big things in busi-
ness way for this splendid little
city and is but another porten-
tous augury of he many good
things which are in store for it
and its people.

The big task which constantly con fronts, the farmers and packers In con nection with the meat trade is to keep production at maximum and dis tribute the dressed product so that there will be no loss.
 The general run of beef cattle suit abla for market dresses out about oS per cent
 That is the proportion of the live weight of the animal that is edible Thrifty housewives avoid meat that is excessively fat and wasty. and do not want meat that is all lean and lack L ing the fat that gives the highest fuei value. If every housewife will do her best to buy her supplies with these facts in mind she will aid in the high est utilization of our meat supply and in maintaining prices that will en- courage the production of the maxi mum number of meat animals.
 Something of an idea of the increase which cattle have made is shown by comparisons. Tn 1914 we had S5,S5o, 900 head of cattle on United States farms and ranches. At the beginning of 1917 we had 41,6S9 900 head, and January first of 1918 the number was 43,546,000. The figures show tre- mendous gain, and for a time market ing kept pace, each month of 19lS showing an increase in the number of cattle marketed over the correspond ing month of the previous year.

GRIFFrTHs GENERAL ORDER

 Tt is with profound sorrow the camp commander announces the death of Colonel William T. Littebrant, Cav airy, the commanding officer of this camp for the past four months. He passed away suddenly at a. m. July End at his home on Sherman Heights from an acute heart attack. Colonel Littebrant had served con tinuously in the army for thirty fiv e years, and it was to his deep regret he failed to secure service abroad during
 the recent emergency It can truly be said of him that he was man; he was fearless and just in all of his dealings; conscientious to a fault; tireless
 worker and while a strict discipline

 His strict attention to duty, his manly and upright nature, made him model whom it would be we'll for all
 to emulate
