Colored Fair Was
A Big Success

The Colored Fair, held in this city
last week, was a decided success in
every particular. The crowds we're
large and the attractions proved
most interesting. From a financial
standpoint as well as from an
amusement point Of view the fair
excelled any ever put on by the col
ored people of Mt. Sterling and much
credit is due the President, P. L.
Hensley, the officers, board of di-
rectors and members of the various
committees for the manner in which
they performed their respective
duties. There were many out-of-
town people here and the colored
fair promises to be permanent at
traction for Mt. Sterling.

Mrs. John Lykins
Dies in This County

On Wednesday, August 3rd, the
death angel visited the home of John
Lykins, on the Levee pike, this
county. and claimed his beloved
wife. Mrs. Lykins had been suf-
ferer for a number of years and her
death was not unexpected. She was
81 years old and had since early
childhood been a devout member Of
the Christian church. She led a life
so pure, so sweet, so enobling, that
any company in which she was
thrown was Immediately impressed
with her presence and the commun-
ity in which she lived is deeply
grieved over her departure. Besides
her husband she is survived by four
sons, Bruce. of Menefee county;
Willie, of Sioux Rapids, Iowa; Dud-
ley and EstilI, of this county; three
daughters, Miss Sarah Anne Lykins,
Mrs. Chas. Peyton and Mrs. Ora
Nodley. The funeral services we're
held at the late residence, conduct
ed by Rev. Harlan Murphy and the
body taken to its last resting place
in Morgan county.

J. N. Kehoe to
Speak Here Saturday

j. N. Kehoe, banker and tobacco
grover, Of Maysville, will address
the tobacco growers Of Montgomery
county at the Courthouse Saturday
afternoon at 80 o'clock in the in
terest of the cooperative market
ing plan. Mr. Kehoe is a member
of the Organization Committee, and
is in a position to explain fully the
benefits to be derived from the or
ganization. This plan has gained
much favor all over the Burley belt
and II is believed will be gladly re-
ceived by the tobacco growers Of
this county. This plan seems to be
the only salvation for tobacco grow
ers in this section as the market for
the 1921 crop, which has already
opened in the Carolinas is much
lower than last year, and it is a
known fact that these markets have
always been barometer for the
Burley leaf and if our farmers do
not want their weed to he LITER
ALLY TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM
the cooperative plan seems the only
relief. Hear Mr.. Kehoe and then
make up your minds to join the or
ganization. To be effective it must
be strong.
