Courtday Another Good Business Day
And All Merchants Report Satisfactory Bust
ness With Conditions Improving Rapidly
The HON MEAT COMPANY

Located on South Maysville street. and conducted
by such experienced meat men as Will and Ed Hon,
this business is growing rapidly and their trade in
creasng each day. They kill all their meats,
make their own sausage and render their own lard,
thereby enabling them to have the very best at all
times in the way Of fresh and cured meats and also
be in position to sell at the lowest possible price.
They do their own work. have small rental to pay,
and offering to the public the benefit of these
savings in the way of reduced prices and superior
quality In addition to their line of meats they
ny everything the market affords in the way of veg
etables and country produce and guarantee the very
highest market price for whatever you have to SELL
The two members of this popular firm are pio-
neer meat men in this city and are considered as
good meat men as can be found anywhere. They are
courteous and attentive to busness-aways finding
time, however, to speak good word or lend help
ing hand to any that will tend toward the i'm
provement of Mt Sterling and her various interests
In connection with their retail business they
also do quite large wholesale business and are at
the present time constructing packing and cold
storage plant which when completed, will be the
equal if not superior of any to be found in any city
of this size in Kentucky. When this plant is COM
peted and put in operation their wholesale bust
ness will be given more attention and it is hoped to
build up a business of which Mt. Sterling may well
be justly proud.
For such energetic and progressive business
men as the Messrs. Hon, Mt. Sterling indeed has
need for more.

Masonic Lodge Presented
With Interesting Picture

DR.. I. W. Cooper, on his recent
travels through Europe with Mrs.
Cooper, was visiting the ruins of
Pompeii one bright day, and in his
journey through this resurrected
city of ancient days discovered on a
portion of some remaining ruins of a
Temple signs that appeared familiar,
and upon further investigation and
study found them to be Masonic in
scriptions and insignias, showing
that this building which bears the
date of $500 years ago was occupied
by the Masons.
DR.. Cooper, being accompanied
through this ancient city by small
party of Americans, among whom
was Mr.. BENIN of Chicago, pho
tographer, requested that a picture
of the ruins with the ancient in
scriptions be taken, which was done,
and on their return home DR.. Coop
er, in lecturing the Masonic bodies
on his travels through this city, re-
minded them of this important event
and promised that a picture of the
discovery would be presented the
Lodge, and in keeping with this
promise he today presented to the
custodian Of the Masonic Temple,
Mr.. J. e. Seayey, one of the small
photographs. which Mr. Seavey will
