contract with w. S. Lloyd for long
lease on his building located on
South Maysville street and will get
possession about August Is. This is
zone of the most desirable business
houses in Mt. Sterling, is ideally sit
uated in part of the city given up
to be the very best business center.
Both the first and upper floors will
be entirely remodeled and moderniz-
ed in. every particular, making a
clothing house for men and boys
second to none in Kentucky. An en-
tirely new front will be put in, giving
The Walsh Company so feet of front
show windows. New fixtures will be
added. an up-to-date furnace install
ed and nothing left undone to make
this a store for men and boys unsur-
passed in the state. An exclusive
shoe department will be added for
meu, boys anu CnllureH.
The new location will give them
about three times the floor space of
their present quarters and they pro-
pose to increase their stock to such
an extent that they will live up to
their motto at all times, IF You
Can't Find it at Walsh's 1t Can't be
Had in Mems and Boys Wearing APP
parel."
The president of The Walsh Com
pany is John ]. Walsh, who has been
in the clothing business in Mt. Ster-
ling for the last 80 years, and at the
present location for the past 10
years. Under his able guidance the
business of the concern has trebled
within the past 10 years, and more
door space was an absolute necessity
to meet the growing business of this
enterprising concern. Other compe-
tent personages who compose the
personnel of The Walsh Company
and who have done much toward the
growth of the concern are ]. w.
Burbridge, c. w. Howe, Louie M. Utz
and Miss Esther Wilson. bookkeeper.

the business concerns of Mt. Ster-
ling. and feel confident they have
made a wise decision as to their new
location.

Maysville Boys Band
Will Play AT Local Fair

The directors of the Montgomery
County Fair last night closed a con-
tract with the Maysville Boys Band
for the appearance of that famous
musical organization here to furnish
music for the coming fair. This band
consists of 3S pieces and is consider
ed by m Isical critics to be one of
the really fine bands of America.
The Maysville Boys Band played
at the Ohio state fair last year and
this year they will furnish the music
for the Kentucky state fair at Louis
vile. Their appearance at Louisville
and Mt. Sterling will be the only
dates they will play in Kentucky
this year, they having been booked
solid in other states for the remain
der of the fair season.
The ]. F. Murphy Hipppdrome and
Exposition Shows have been signed
to furnish the attractions on the
midway. This organization cannot
be compared with the so-called car
nival companies which the fair-going
public has been in the habit of see.
ing, 1t being far superior in size and
class of amusement furnished and in
the cleanliness and beauty of its
equipment Travelling in its own 90
car special train which will arrive In
this city on Sunday afternoon, July
16, the management has extended a
cordial invitation to the public OF
Mt. Sterling to come down, watch
them unload and see the finest show
train in America.
1t seems that the public never
tires of the balloon ascension and
this year there will be one every day,
Secretary Wilkerson having contract
ed with Daredevil Skibo to make an
ascension each day. Skibo leaps
from five different parachutes at
each ascension.
Thursday has been officially desig-
mated as Lexington Day" and a big
crowd from that city will come up
for the occasion. Every race on that
day will be for purse donated by
Lexington firms.
From the entries coming in, it APP
pears certain that there will be
more and better runners, trotters and
PAGERS here to compete for the hand
some purses offered than ever before.
The outlook is certainly suspicious
for the biggest and best fair Mt.
Sterling has ever had.

FINAL DEFENSE OF FREIGHT RATES BY
 RAILROADS BEGUN
By Associated Press


 Washington, March S.-Railroads began their final defense tosay of existing levels of freight and assen- ger rates before the interstate com merce commission when attorneys gave oral arguments which will con clude the hearings that have co--in- ued for several months. Henry Wolfe BiLel of the Pennsyl ania system. Fred H. Wood, general counsel of the Southern Pacific and Frank Gwathmey. for the southern railroads, insisted that neither on legal or eco- homie grounds had the mass of tes- timony taken .-closed grounds for the commission to make general re- auctions of rates.
 The railroads gave way to their op- ponents just before the days ses- sions concluded, and Fred W. Put nam of the Minnesota railroaI com mission, speaking for all state regu- lative bodies associated in the hear ings, entered upon the preliminaries of an argument which gill be con tinued tomorrow. State commits sions are asking. first. he said, for pa ssenger fare reductions on the ground they are too high for the traf- fic to bear, and that no portion of railroad charges. if reduced, would be more quickly reflected in the ac- tual cost to the ultimate consumer"
 MT Bikel used railroad earnings statistics. exhaustively placed in the record to formulate his conclusion tn { no reductions can be | santed. Railroads are entitled to per cent return on the value of property used in transportation, he contended whether this figure is fixed in the future by law or set up by the com mission as a standard and the latest earnings reports indicate they are now making but 4.49 per cent.
