to that city shortly nf'er the expira

after a residence hero of upwards of
forty years. He is 78 years old, and'
a picture of health and vigor. He
spoke of his early life in Cairo ami
how lie came to locate here. His
first visit to Cairo was in ISIS and
after that be cnnie in 1v!l, estali

machine shop busint ss. Mr. Wood
ward told of Cairo bow it looked
then and drew a comparison between

dition which indicated business and
improvement. .Mr. Woodward spoke
interestingly about lyickport and ff
the "George .Junior Bepl'blie'"" for the

Mr. Weareu appointed .John C.

WE ARE READY TO SHOW MEN
SOLOMON'S NEW STYLE CLOTHING
FOR SPRING
t mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
THOSE who have worn Solomon's New
Style Clothing know its merits. Men who
are not acquainted with it are sure to become
wearers of the new style clothing once they see
it and try it on.
This new style clothing is better tailored than
any ready-to-wear clothing made. It has a style
of it's own, a style that is difFerent, giving that
perfect fit and utmost comfort that men look for
but seldom find.
Gray will be the leading color this season, and
the blues will share in men's choice. Tans and
greens will also be used.
Most patterns are striped effects.
An invitation is extended menjto give this new
clothing a critical examination to put it to the
test in any manner they see fit.
Jamaica Ginger Output.
The ginger grown in Jamaica com
mands more than double the price of
any other. Under favorable conditions
an acre will produce as much as 4,000

about 1,400,000 pounds was exported

That Kenturkians have a very high
regard for their native state is illus
trated by this unecdote told by one
of them:
Once a Knntutktan died. So a near
relative went to the local tombstone
artist to arrange about an Inscription
on the deceased's tombstone.
After due cogitatiun the near relative
said:
"Carve on it: 'He's gone to a better
place.' "
"I'll carte 'he's gone to heaven,' if
you want me to," remarked the tomb
stone artist, "but, as for that o'her in
