ne of the most popular and best, be
loved women that ever lived within

Mrs. Anne Priest, Miss Emma Rop

Special Registration
Next Saturday
Saturdny, July 24th, will be Spec
ial Registration Day in this city nnd
all those who have not previously
registered should go to tho county
clerk's office on that day. If for
any reason you were out o town,
sick, or 5f you become of age hftcr
election day you should not fail to
register. It is the duty of every cit
izen to vote and it is hoped that no
citizen of Mt. Sterling will be de
prived of performing his snored
duty by failing to register. (79-3t)
TAX PAYERS
Wo are frequently asked the
question the meaning of tho new
law regarding tho assessment of
property. The law requires us to
keep our office open, but does not
require the tax payer to come to
the office until we have been to see
him, nn? in hi& absence, left n
notice. It ia then the tax payer's
absolute duty to call at the time
mentioned in the notice, and in case
ho does not call, his name will be re
ferred to the board of supervisors
and it is at this time subject to a
penalty.
I think the majority prefer to call
at the office and list their property,
nnd I wish to impress it upon you
that we prefer for you to do it, be
cause the law compels the office to
be kept open, and further, we can
take a much better list wnen wc
have all the records close at hand.
Heretofore I havo mailed notice's,
but will not do so this year only in
a few instances toward the Inst. I
insist that you come nt your earliest
convenience. If you will do so,
you will not be bothered by us cnll
ing when you are busy with other
matters, and at th csn.me time w5ll
assist us in making a better and
more accurate assessment.
Thanking yod in advanco for your
presence in my office.

Judge S. M. Wilson
Speaks Here Monday
Arrangements thus far completed
for tho opening of tho presidential
campaign in Montgomery County nt
the Democratic rally to be held in
Mt. Sterling next Monday nftcrnoon
indicato a memorable event in the
political history of Easter Kentucky
There will bo a large attendance
from this county and adjoining
counties to hear the address of
Judge Samuel M. Wilson, of Lexing
ton, and to participate in the per
manent organization of The First
Cox and Roosevelt Campaign Club
of Kentucky.
This organization is destined to
put the Democracy of this sertion
prominently on the political map
during the cninpaign. Effected three
hours after the nomination of Gov
ernor Cox nt San Francisco, it was
probably the first campaign club in
the country to notify him that it
was ready for business. In reply a
message of thanks and encourage
ment has been received from the
Governor and will be read at the
meeting.
The temporary officers of the
club were elected only for the pur
poses 'of preliminary organization
and to "get in the came early."
Their permanent successors will be
elected nt Monday's meeting, and
necessary steps will be taken for
the adoption of a constitution and
by-laws, the appointment of an ex
ecutive committee, etc.
The meeting will be called to or
der at tho Court House at 1:30
o'clock p. m. Arrangements are be
ing made for appropriate music.
Judge Wilson's address will follow
the election of the permanent or
ganization and will be the only
speech of the occasion. The Ken
tucky Democracy has no abler or
more eloquent champion than Judge
Wilson, and tho Democracy of this
section have every reason to con
gratulate themselves that he was se
lected to fire the opening gun for
Cox and Roosevelt in Mt. Sterling
nt the first public meeting of the
campaign in Kentucky.
