TOBACCO MARKET
L. E. GRIGGS

There has been little tobacco sold
at the three warehouses since our
last issue and we have been advised
that the prices remain about the
same as last week. The last sales
for this season will be held Thursday
and all tobacco not in at that time
will have to be taken to other mar
kets or sold privately. The Farm
ers' House will issue statement
next week showing the total amount
sold and the average received for
the season and it is thought that
the Robertson and Whitehall will
also give a summary of their sales.

GOOD NEWS.

The II. II. Pieper Co., 5, 10 and
% cent store, has just declared a
dividend of 8 per cent payable quart
erly. This is certainly a fine record
considering the great handicap which
they have labored under, due to the
influenza epidemic striking the
country just as the store was opened
here in Mt. Sterling. Another great
hindrance to business was the block
AIDE of the sidewalk and street next
to the store which was not removed
until a few days ago. A credit is
due for this great showing and the
future outlook to those who took
advantage of purchasing stock in
this great enterprise is certainly
very rosy. Those who have stock in
the company are today thankful for
their good business judgment in
getting in on the ground floor.
Stockholders hold on to your
stock as the company is contemplate
ing opening another store in another
one of Kentucky's fine towns, and
will open more as quickly as they
can.
H. H. Pieper, Secretary Treasur-
err and General Manager of the COM
pany takes this means of thanking
all of Mt. Sterling and Montgomery
county for showing their gratitude
in having this fine store in Mt.
Sterling, and extends to all his good
wishes for the future.

TO THE PUBLIC

Several weeks ago when l sold the
garage and business of the L. f.
Griggs Motor Company, 1 retained
the agency for what l then consid-
cred and still consider one of the
best moderate priced, dependable
motor cars on the market, The Hup-
mobile. This easy riding comfort
car is known the world over and the
best advertisement it has is the
great number of owners and there
are a number of them in this coun-
ty and it is with pride that 1 refer
YOU to any owner Of a Hupmobile
for a testimonial of its ability to do
everything that is claimed for it. I
also have the agency for Bath cou-
nty and will be pleased to give de-
monstrations to anyone interested in
either county.
As yet have not made any ar
rangements for a show room but
hope to have this matter adjusted
shortly and will announce its loca-
ton in this paper as soon as secure
same.
l trust that anyone that is con-
sidering buying car will consider
the Hupmobile before placing their
order. .ft
Respectfully,
L. Z. GRIGGS.

The death of our great ex-presi-
dent, Theodore Roosevelt, recalls a
strange scene that occurs in "The
Fighting Roosevelts," the authorized
Roosevelt picture now being releas-
ed by Frederick L. Collins, through
the First National Exhibitors Cir
cult.
Director William Nigh, who direct
ed "My Four Years in Germany in
his efforts to obtain novel effects in
the Roosevelt picture, portrays a
! striking scene in which Roosevelt
enters the White House to take the
chair left vacant by the death of
President William Mckinley. The
film shows a shadow figure of Me
Kinley occupying the chair. Be
fore him is his favorite desk and he
seems to be brooding over the UNI
finished work he has left. Roosevelt
enters the room. He is deeply con-
scious Of the solemnity Of the NOM
ent. He PAGES across the room and
as he comes in front of the chair the
shadow figure of Mckinley rises and
vanishes. Roosevelt sits down as
his successor and remains a few
moments in deep thought, then, as
though inspired by the presence of
Mckinley, Roosevelt calls in Mr..
McKinley's staff and tells them that
there will be no changes in the per-
sonnet of the White House, that
those who were good enough for Me-
Kinley were good enough for him.
Striking incidents of history made
before the outbreak of the world
war, and which are still fresh in the
memory of the present generation
are presented for the first time in
motion pictures in "The Fighting
Roosevelts," the authorized version
of the life and works of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, to be shown at
The Tabb Theatre, beginning Tues
day, March 25th.

PRICES HIGH
COURT DAY
About $500 Cattle on Market, Held
at High Prices; Trading Slow;
Good Crowd in Town.

Weather, warm with showers most
of the day. Largest run of cattle
for several years in March, fully
$500 head. Cattle were bought
high by traders in the mountains and
buyers seemed slow about trading,
it being fully 10 o'clock before any
sales were made and not more than
one third of the cattle we're sold
during the day There viii probably
he more sold the following day than
on court day as the mountain men
will come down in prices rather than
hold to next Court Day. The quality
of cattle was better than usual but
not many 800 lib. steers, mostly from
400 to 500 in thin flesh. These sold
for from 10 to Ii cents per pound,
most of them being guessed off by
the head. The following sales are a
fair index of the 500 head sold:
4 Murphy & Co., to Clarence Lebus,
80, $50 ID. steers at 12%c.
Sam Keaton to Clarence Lelus,
80 head 600 lb. steers, at O7O.
e. B. Allen sold IA red heifers
500 lbs. each, at $4,000.
M. A. Allen to Mason Bros, 10,
200 ID. heifers at $3.50.
D.. E. Maze, 7 steers at 1212c.
Geo. Daniels, 80, $50 ID. steers at
$500.
G. W. Trace, s, 400 lb. heifers at
$4,000, and II 500 lb. steers at
$62.5O.
Ed. Keaton to J. W. Wilson, 10
400 ID. heifers at 1890.
Carl Trimble to j. H. Wilson, IS
400 lb. steers at $3.50.
Jas. Spillman bought 8 600 ID.
heifers at $3.50.
Mr. Bush sold 13 head at 13 cents
per lb. and 10 steers at II cents.
Car load of draft mares sold low
considering the way others have
been selling. Market is overdue here,
prices running from 800 to $3.50
each. Mules would be better for
work stock than these mares. 1t
costs twice as much to feed them
and shoe them and they are so
much slower and cannot stand hot
weather as well as mules. The large
number of these mares shipped in
has injured the sale of mules ana
native horses. There were no sheep
or hogs ON hand for sale. Largest
crowd in town for many months.
Tobacco market about over for the
season. Sales were a little better
today.

SHOULD PROTECT
THE MERCHANTS
Local Men Stand Behind Their Goods
and Are Trustworthy and
Responsible.


are a number of men from out of
the state working" Montgomery
county with a range "deal' stating
that they are special factory rep
resentatives and telling the house
wives that the range they are sell
ing is far superior and much cheap
err than any range that can be bought
in Mt. Sterling. The writer has TAX
en- it upon himself to investigate
these statements and finds this to
be both incorrect and untrue. We
visited the three hardware stores
and secured the names of the ranges
sold by them and the prices of the
ranges set up in any home in Mont
gomery county and found them to be
cheaper than the one being offered
at Especial factory price" Aside
from the fact that they can be bought
cheaper our people should remember
that it is the local merchants that
made contributions to the Ladies
Rest Room, the Red Cross Society,
The Y. M. C. A. and all other similar
i.
that the drive for the new hospital
will soon be on and that it will again
be the local merchants that will
subscribe and not the Especial
factory representatives" that will
make this great boon to humanity
possible.
The hardware firm of Chenault &
Orear handle The Majestic Range
and have been selling it here for
more than % years. Could one
want any better guarantee than this
test of time?
Prewitt & Howell have, for more
than 20 years, been selling with sat
isfaction to themselves and comfort
to their customers the Malleable
Steel Range.
]. R. Lyons who succeeded w. w.
Eubank, Jr., has been selling with
success The Range Eternal and
everyone that has bought one is sat
isfed with it.
These dealers are responsible,
honest and trustworthy and stand
ready and willing to install range
in your home, and they are right
here in Mt. Sterling to stand behino
every statement they make in re-
gard to the range, but after the
Especial factory" representative has
put in your range, collected your
money and departed, what is your
guarantee then worth? 1t has been
said a sucker is born every day but
we are sure that the women of our
county will not so gulEble as to
be taken in by some smooth-tongued
travelling salesman. In all fairness
to our home merchants don't you
think it only right, reasonable and
honorable to first investigate the
prices and guarantees of our home
men before giving your order to
some out of the state concern?
The money spent with our mer-
chants stays in business channels
here while that sent clear away Is
gone forever. We are writing this
article in all kindness, but we be-
lieve in fairness and justice and in
calling a spade a spade, and we do
not think it fair to expect our merch-
ants to contribute to the Rest Room,
Red Cross, Hospital, Rebuilding
Turnpikes and similar work, unless
the people show their appreciation by
their patronage. Think it over.
