accompany order No announcement inserted until paid for SHOULD WE HAVE TWO TELEPHONE SYSTEMS At the last meeting of our City Council the East Tennessee Telephone Comnnny a subsidiary branch of the Cumberland Telephone Company which now has two long distance stations here presented telephone franchise and asked the Council to otter the same for saleI At the outset we want to say we are not interested as directors stockholders or otherwise in the Old Kentucky Telephone Xr Tolomnnli Company which now operates a telephone system in our City andare not undertaking to champion its cause in any sense What we shall say is as citizens of Mt Sterling haying the best interest of its inhabitants i at heart and not as the representatives ot any telephone com pany or any person connectedllwith any such companies Our citizens need the best local and long distance service obtainable but two telephone systems compel everybody who needs a telephone to have both phones which is quite a nuisance to say nothing of a great expense The franchise presented authorizes an increase in the rates now charged by the Old Kentucky as on business houses within one and a half miles of the Court House the rate stated is 275 per month and on residences 165 When one thousand phones are secured the rate is to be increased to 300 per month on business houses and 200 for residences within that radius The local company was required to pry 100000 for its franchise while the franchise proposed fixes no price at which it shall sell This feature and the idea of increasing the rate are manifestly unfair to the local companyThe hasjust gotten rid of many ugly poles from our streets and are now extensively improving then To install another plant would necessitate the erection of new poles by the dozen thus disfiguring our City and making it more unsightly To get this long distance service one must now go to one of the hotels where the stations are located and lose much valuable time in delay which arrangement is of course very unsatisfactory A num ber of local merchants badly need the long distance service the East Tennessee Telephone Company furnishes andwe would be very glad to see them have it but the whole community should not suffer by the maintenance of two systems to get it The franchise of the local company requires it to connect with any long distance company and the East Tennessee shouldarrange with it to furnish our people this service in that way Its franchise further provides that if they cannot agree upon the terms each com pany play select a man and those two choose a third and the three so selectedshall have authority to equitably apportion the tolls between them and fix the terms and conditions upon which such connection shrill be furnished It will therefore be seen that the East Tennessee service can be had through the local exchange without the City being bothered with two systems which as before stated is quite a nuisance and an unnecessary burden upon our people In our judgement the Council will best subserve the interests of our City by refusing to adopt the franchise offered authorizing the installation of a second system and especially should no franchise be sold for a trifle which authorizes an increase in the rate now being paid to the local company which is already high enough X IIL G ENOCH This is essentially a young mans age The cashiers of our four banks our postmaster nearly all of our City and County Ofiicials and many of our most prominent business men are young men The oldI plan of requiring a man to outlive his usefulness before putting him in places of honor and trust no longer exists as is evidenced by the selection of Mr H G Enoch to fill the vacancy in the City Council from the Second Ward occasioned by the untimely lentil of the late i1 S Kelley Being a business man of industry sagacity and high personal integrity we are sure he will acquit himself to the entire satisfation of the people of our City and the selection could not have been jimproved upon We haye always claimed Montgomery County led the balance of Kentucky in politics at least if not in other respects In the recent State Primary it is a

sing this letter to you and through you to the people of Kentucky I do not wish to be understood as disparaging tliclaims or the abilities of any candidate for the oflicc of Governor I wish only to Irecord my estimate of the one whom I prefer Few men have had experience so wide and so varied in the mat ngement of public affairs as James B McCreary He has been be fore the public for more than forty years 0 continuous service in the Held in the halls of legisla tion and in executive duties He made an excellent record as a gal lint soldier and capable olhcer During the tryjng ordeal of the Civil War he Graded no duty and quailed before no danger After his return to private life he repre sented his constituency in three successive national Democratic conventions He represented his county in three successive sessions of the State Legislature during the last of which he was Speaker of the House He represented his district in Congress for six successive terms namely 11885 to 1897 and represented Kentucky in the Senate of the United States from 1905 to luau From 1875 to 18791 he was Governor of this Commonwealth While a mem t ber of Congress he was appointed one of the Commissioners of the United States to the International Monetary Congress at Brussels where liemaintained with dignity and withcredit to the reputation of his country Front the foregoing it will be seen that his whole life has been spent in the public SlITiceilis experience has been wide and va rierlin the field in the halls of legislation State and National in administrative and executive duties and in dealing with sonic of the most difficult problems which confront the political economist in rational and international finance No mere tyro can bring to the discharge of public duties one tithe of the capacity fur intelligent work in legislative and executive duties His collegiate and legal education yell fitted him for these manifold find varied activities In allof these relations he has conspicuousInbility esy As Speaker of the House his rulings were prompt and im partial As Governor his acts were all conceived and executed in the interest of the whole people of the Commonwealth Partisanship wits subordinated to the pub he good In his legislative career inCoIgressexten ing over a J r I J period of eighteen years everyI measure supportedand every vote cast was upon national and not sectional lines An able upright experienced clean goodman n breath of suspicion so far as I know has ever attached to any off his acts either public or private If elected

least good looking always manI ages to look neat and well dressed t Perhaps she has anIa small dress allowance and yet whenever you happen to meet her she looks smart andattractive while other girls with twice the money at their command too often look shabby and dowdyWhat is the neat girls secret Nothing more nor less than taking care of her clothes she has a place for everything and everything is kept in its place her ribbons gloves handkerchiefs etc are not all hud dled together in one drawer neither do they lie about on the tables and chairs until they are wanted Every article uf apparei is put away with the most scrupulous cure first being dustedshaken or mended as the case may be There isa great difference ton in the way in which girls put on their clothes and very often a girl dressed in n shirtwaist and plain spirt will look twice as neat as the one clad in an expensive gown the reason being simply and solely this The one has put her dress on any how the other has taken care that allshall be neat and fresh It is the duty of all parents to son that their children are taught from their babyhood to take proper care of their wearing apparel for the child who lets clothes

SIN OF WOMAN Extravagance Perhaps the Most Prolific Cause of Subterfuge and Embarrassment Of all the sins which beset womankind today in every section of so ciety and every degree and every class the sin of extravagance is per haps the most prolific of subterfuges andembarrassment Economy is every day becoming more of an irksome task than the exercise ofa virtue which leads ulj timately to comfort and peace of mindThese opinions sound verymuch like copybook platitudes but their primitive familiarity does not make them any the less true In the old days an extravagant woman became notorious She
