School Pupils Boost
For New Hotel
High and Grammar School Stu
dents Write Essays Telling Why
Hotel Is Greatest Need

Responding to the offer on the
part of the Chamber of Commerce
of Mt. Sterling and Montgomery
County to pay five dollars in cash
to the High School student and three
dollars in cash to The grammar
school student who would write the
best essay on, 'sWhy Should Mt.
Sterling Have New HOTEL" great
interest was created among the stu
dents in the schools last week by
this offer and some real thought was
given to the subject by the future
citizens of Mt. Sterling. The judges
report that a great number of the
essays that were offered by the stu
dents in both High School and gram
mar grades are worthy of publica
ton. Owing to the limited amount of
space that can be spared only the
papers presented by the prize win
ners can be published this week. If
the citizens of Mt. Sterling and this
community need to be convinced be-
yond what they are already convinc-
ed of their duty and opportunity to
buy stock in this, Mt. Sterling's
greatest enterprise, they will only
need to read the arguments set forth
in the following essays.
Why Should Mt. Sterling Have a
New Hotel?
There are seven reasons why our
new hotel will pay.
Here are the seven sources:
First-The people of Mt. Sterling
themselves will use the new hotel as
civic and social center, a place
where business and civic luncbeons
and other events will be held
Second = Surrounding territory.
Being the county seat and the center
for a very large trade section,
reaching into the mountain territory,
Mt. Sterling is the logical place for
these people to come to transact
their business.
Third - Commercial Travellers.
These men will stay in Mt. Sterling
and work certain territories with
this city as center More of them
will also come to this city than are
now coming.
Fourth - Buyers in increased
numbers. Buyers Of tobacco and
cattle will visit our market when
they are assured of good hotel ac-
commodations.
Fifth = Motor Tourists. Large
numbers of automobile tourists will
stop or be drawn to this city when
good hotel accommodates are
available. (In the Automobile Blue
Book we are now listed as a city to
be avoided).
Sixth = Conventions. We can
not draw conventions now, but with
a new hotel we can secure from IL
to Is conventions annually.
Seventh-Former residents, many
of whom would be glad to come back
for short visits and vacations were
there modern hotel facilities.
We should buy stock in the new
hotel because it is safe invest
ment and civic duty. The present
hotels and boarding houses are do
ing their best to care for and enter
tain the visitors and business repre-
sentatives, but it is hard work.
When we want a school we get it,
when we wanted hospital we got it.
Why not a new hotelf-Anne Eliz-

Of energy and determination
In the blue grass section tobacco

Of the south king in that section.
The growers are now busily en-
gagged in the burning of tobacco

for an increased crop. There viii

Bath, Menefee and Powell, viii have
their normal acreage in this tobac-

AT this writing winter wheat is
greening the fields, the stooling is
favorable and present indications
are for a crop more than average.
There will be more than the usual
ests crop. Stalk and some stubble
fields are being sowed in the grasses

are more than liberal in acreage and
to us it appears that the farmer has
thrown aside the has-been and

can't counties will have for the har-
vest crops beyond the average.

RICH GOLD FIND
 AT OATMAN STIRS ' THINGS UP THERE

Charlie Prochnow, proprietor of the Commercial hotel here, this week re- ceived the following telegram from Fred Hensing of this city, superin- tendent of the Oatman Amalgamated Gold Mining Co.,:
 Leases on Tom Reed ground back of Kettleson's hardware store struck $27 ,000 rock surface. Old-timers here amazed. Coote of Los Angeles open ing brokerage offices here. Many new companies starting up. Looks like big improvement in the camp"
 Mir. Prochnow thinks it likely the leasers who made this rich find were renting the land merely for business or home purposes. He says that a few weeks ago two prospectors talk ing casual look near the road con- meeting Oatman with the Old Trails road, dug twenty foot hole at a place where there were no surface in dications and struck rich gold ledge. No claims had been filed on the land.
