DUBLIN, Thy Mail)-Prosperiiy is the
condition which, above all others, stands
out in the mind of the Irish as that
which will rule when the Free State is
set up-prosperity and freedom.
There are many fearful Of disorders,
even civil war. of constant Republican
agitation, Of brigandage. Of various dis
orders when the Irish Republican army
becomes the army Of the Free State.
But all believe that. if the people raii.

country is assured.
Ii is impossible to tell wha, will fol-

De Valera's followers are essentially
Republicans. and they will be forced to
make their appeal for an oui-and-out re-

q following. They do not believe there
will be civil war. There will probably be
disorders Of sort, probably some Of
them serious. during the election. Feel
ing will be bitter in closely contested
districts in the south and southwest.
There will probably be more disorders
when the army becomes that Of the Free
State. The Republican element will be
at once los,h to be disbanded. Also they
will probably form an organization Of

TIN SHOP OF
l843 IS NOW A
LARGE STORE
Three Generations of Newman
Family Build Business
From $500 to Many
Thousands
HAVE HAD ONE PARTNER
Newman's Hardware Founded
on South Eighth Street by
Grandfather of Pres.
ent Owner.

The pioneer Of pioneers in the mercan-
lille business in Columbia is the Newman
Hardware and Stove Co.. founded by Al
bert Callatin Newman in l843 as tin
shop on South Eighth street, near where
Scotts grocery store now stands. Al that
time the business was valued at $500.
but now its value will run into many
thousands Of dollars.
The business has been conducted by
three generations Of the Newman fam
ily, and there have been no partners in
the company, except in the early 8os,
when Arthur Holland had an interest in
the firm for two years.
Ii VAS about this time that the CON-
pany was moved to the building at the
corner Of Broadway and Ninth street.
where the Sykes and Broadhead Clothing
Co., is now located. Pictures Of the
store at that time show great trees grow
ing along Broadway. and merchants dis
plays Of their wares in front Of their
shops.
The Newman store was moved 10 its
present home in 1885. and is now one
Of the best known hardware establish
ments in this part Of the STATE. In 1914
the company established 4 branch store
in Sedalia. but this store was sold four
years later.
A. G. Newman, the founder Of the
company. died in 1887. and his son, the
late c. c. Newman, took charge Of the
establishment, and under his management
the scope Of the business was widened
and its volume Of business increased. and
il was under his ownership that the con-
Germ was incorporated.
The company is now under the man. !!
agrment Of Arthur II. Newman, son Of !
c. e. Newman. For several years Roy
+. Newman, another son Of C.. C.. New !
man, was connected with the store. but I
he went to Moberly in 1909. and es-
tablished a store there. This store is
not connected with the Columbia firm in
any way.
II is likely that the store here will
pass into the fourth generation Of the
Newman family, for Ernest Newman, son
Of the present proprietor, A. II. Newman,
is already showing an interest in the es-
tablishment and works there occasionally.

Architects Selected
For New Hotel

At a meeting of the directors of
the Mt. Sterling Hotel Company,
held Saturday, the firm of Weber &
Weber, of Cincinnati, was selected
as the architects for the new hotel,
II being the concensus of opinion
that the plans offered by this con-
Germ we're the most acceptable. The
present plans submitted by the above
named architects will doubtless be
the ones used with some slight modi-
fications. The plans as now sub
mitted call for a three-story building
with five small shops on Maysville
street and also a side entrance, the
main entrance being on High street.
On the first floor will be the dining
room and kitchen, sample rooms,
lobby and office, while the upper two
stories will contain 48 bed rooms, all
of which will have running water and
twenty-four will have private baths.
The building will face High street
81 feet and will run back III feet on
Maysville street. In front of the
building will be a terrace 10 feet
wide running the entire frontage.
The plans as presented show beau
tful structure and the building will
be one of which city several times
the size of Mt. Sterling would well
be proud. The architects selected
will be here Wednesday and will go
into the matter with the directors
and a definite plan decided on.

WILL NEVER DIE

One of our business men is in re-
ceipt of a letter from ]. L. Boiling,
Chicago, formerly of Menefee coun-
ty, an independent thinker and in.
teresting speaker, who desires to
talk to Mt. Sterling audience. His
letter states:
81 will speak on June rs and q
at the court house in Mt Sterling on
the subject, millions Now Living
viii Never Die" the first night. and
the next night on some other Bible
topic which has not been decided
yet. You want to live forever right
here on this earth, don't you? Most
people think they would like to go
to heaven and be with the angels and
with the angels sing, as the song
puts 1t, but when it comes right
down to brass tacks" they would
rather be here than anywhere else.
If | can prove to you that you can
live on here and that there is no
need for you to die, or anyone else,
you would be interested, wouldn't
you? Well, that depends on getting
an audience over to the court house
at 8 o'clock, June 26, and if you will
get busy and help get the audience
l will do the rest"

Government Securities
Are Going Well Here

THE rapidly increasing popularity
of the new government savings sys-
tenn in Mt. Sterling is evidenced by
the sale of $2,075 worth of treasury
savings certificates at the lost post
Office during the month of May"
stated Postmaster Turner.
Postmaster Turner declared that
treasury savings certificates are the
soundest investment conceivable, due
to the fact that all risk is eliminated
and they constantly increase in val
ne. If held for five years they in
crease rs per cent over the cost
prize, or 5 per cent per year, and
both principal and interest are free
from all local and state taxes.
These certificates can be purchas-
ed at the local postoffice in denomi-
nations of $1,000, 500 and SIS at
cost prices of $500, $50 and $40 each,
respectively, and it is hoped that
more people of this community will
familiarize themselves with this gov
eminent savings plan in order to
make their dollars grow safely at the
rate of per cent per year.

Another Hard Luck
Story For Locals

To the tune of 3 to 2, Mt. Sterling
was taken into camp by Lexington
Sunday afternoon. The Studebakers
won the game in the very first in
ming after two we're out, two two
base hits and three errors giving them
their three runs, which proved too
much for the locals to overcome. AS
usual, Mt. Sterling outhit their oppo-
pents and with better luck should
have been returned the winner.
"Tot" Frank was in the box for the
locals and only allowed Lexington
two hits, both of which came in the
first inning Only % men faced him
In the next seven innings and not an
other hit was registered, only two
men reaching first and in these sew
en- innings one on an error by Key
ser and the other a base on balls.
Mt. Sterling had two new men in the
lineup, one at third and the other at
second. 1t is believed Mt. Sterling's
hard luck is about due for a change
and 1t is thought the Essex nine will
soon be on it's winning stride.
The Paris club will be the attrac-
ton at the Fair Graunds Park on
Thursday and a record-breaking
weekday crowd is expected to be
present to witness the exhibition as
