JEWELRY.

Tho buying power Of the public,
which has not been in evidence In
the jewelry trade for few
months. is gradually making itself
felt in the retail line.
This moderate revival Of buying.
although not felt to any consid-
erable extent in the wholesale line,
has acted as a stimulant to renew
optimism. AS was predicted. the
buying done is centered on popu-
lar priced jewelry.
Mesh bag manufacturers assert
ed that little or no depression In
their line has been felt. They ex-
,erienced their banner year in 1870,
when the demand for their article
was In excess of the production,
which was larger than in 1919.
A portion of the leading manu-
facturer's factory has been forced
to work two shifts to supply the
demand from customers whoce
stocks have been badly depleted.
A statement was issued at the
beginning of the year In whiih
was announced no reduction In the
price of mesh bags was to be MADE
this year.

WOOLENS.

The opening of serges. clays and

Of >women's fall fabrics by the

effect upon the wholesale woolen

American Wooden Company were
slightly higher in most cases than
the revised prices made on spring

Such Proof As This Should Convince

The public endorsement of a locsl

STILL WRITING AT EIGHTY
SUM

The vexations of the newspaper
business are such that it is some
what rare that a newspaper man ar
rives at the age of eighty, but j. B.
Lewis, of Versailles, has not only
performed that feat, but has also
succeeded in keeping years younger
than his age, up to the present time.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that
while he was for years in associa-
ton with his brother, George A.
Lewis, editor and publisher OF a
newspaper at Frankfort, yet he spent
a large part of his life in other pur-
suits, which no doubt enabled MIN
to rest up from time to time. Mr..
and Mrs. Lewis celebrated the for
mer's eightieth birthday at their
home on High street. All OF bis
children were present except one.
Mr.. Lewis is still in active journal

FIRE FORCES PHONE GIRLS
DOWN LADDER

A fire which might have resulted
in the loss of several thousand dol
lars worth of business property was
averted at Nicholasville by the quick
ASTON of the fire department and the
use of chemicals, when a blaze was
discovered at the restaurant of S. p.
O'Lee on Main street.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but blaze which had been smould-
ering for several hours was discover
ed under a stairway between the
stores of T. c. Willis and Mr.. O'Lee.
The Home Telephone Office is located
on the second floor of the O'Lee
building and the operators were al
most overcame by the smoke. They
were unable to descend the stairway
and a ladder had to be provided from
the outside for their escape. Tele-
phone service was suspended for sew
eral hours on account Of water and
smoke on the switchboard.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

1t wasn't many years ago that one
could drive along the country road
and read advertisements of every
description. And at that time adver-
Using must have been just as inter
esting as it is now, as many who were
driving would stop and scan a poster,
board that had been planted or any
other kind of ad that had been
posted.
Nowadays the advertiser uses the
newspapers and the subscriber sits on
his front porch and reads every ad
just as religiously as he reads the
news. In fact it is news-good news
news that brings results to the
customer because it has proven hun
dreds of times that the well adver-
tiSed product can he sold more
cheaply than the non-advertised
product.
