Many car owners using tires

whether in the interests OF eco

tire or spend good money in an
attempt to coax more miles from

Lexington Suffers
Another Fire Loss

Fire which organized in the base
ment of the United Clothing Store in
Lexington at about IL o'clock yes
terday morning completely ruined
the stock of this concern and spread
to the Steele building occupied by
Meyer 4 Hinkle, where the entire
stock and modern new building was
completely destroyed The loss is
estimated at $3.50, 900, largely COW
cred by insurance. A number Of 9TH
er concerns in the fernando building
suffered loss from smoke and water.
The fire was not gotten under con-
troll until about 80 in the after
noon. This is the second disastrous
fire that has swept Lexington within
the year, and the origin is undeter-
mined, although it is thought TO have
been caused by defective wiring.

empty for the matinee and only
about two-thirds full for the night

present saw one Of the best and
cleanest minstreIs that ever visited
this city. The costumes were clean,
bright and new and the stage seem

high class and the vocal numbers
displayed some unusual talent. The
jokes were all new and catchy and

ally Bert Swor, caused many "side

Ben 7. Wright
Chosen Director

After having been deadlocked since
Tuesday, the delegates from this dis
trict of the Burley Tobacco Associ-
alton at Lexington last night unan-
imously elected Ben I. Wright, of
this city, as director for the Mont
gomery Bath district. The five del
egates from Bath county had pre-
viously voted solid for John Crock
EFT, Of Sharpsburg, while the FIVE
from this county had stood Loyalty
for our fellow townsman, Clark b.
Patterson, who had worked so en-
ergetically and effectively for the
best interest Of the association.
However. from the attitude of the
delegates, it was soon evident that
neither Mr.. Crockett nor Mr.. Patter-
son could be elected and the name
of Mr.. Wright was presented as a
compromise.
The selection of Mr.. Wright meets
with the hearty approval Of the to-
bacco growers Of both counties, as
he is citizen Of Mt. Sterling, hav-
ing recently moved here from
Sharpsburg. where he owns large
farming interests. He is a man Of
splendid business sense and his Sc
lection is indeed a wise one which is
entirely satisfactory to the tobacco
interests of both counties.
