insurance business.

Coal Operators Adopt Price Scale.  Pineville, Ky., Oct. 8 - Kentucky coal
bins will not go empty if coal operators of Bell and Harlan counties can pre
vent.  Practically all of the larger operators in both counties have already
put into effect the Cincinnati price agreement, which provides for six dollar
coal, f.o.b. mines, with not less than 50 per cent of production going to
Kentucky domestic dealers.  Operators were glad to settle on a uniform price
basis which is satisfactory to the Government and were quick to accept the
Cincinnati plan, which was worked out this week.  The car supply, however,
shows no steady improvement, though it is hoped short hauls to Kentucky
points, with the L&N road retaining possession of cars, will bring them back
more quickly for loading.

Sells Lally Light.  T.E. Jasper installed a Lally Lighting System for William
Link last week.  Mr. Link lives on the Coal Bank Road and is a progressive
farmer.  Mr. Jasper has placed about a dozen plants over the county and has
many more prospects.

last Saturday forty cans of bass and red eyes for the streams.  Several
thousand were placed in Pitman Creek and the remainder in Fishing Creek.

Going Up.  The stock of the Pu-John Oil Co. is going up fast.  The company
has closed the stock books and since that time there has been some trading of
the stock and the price quoted is $1.50 with few shares for sale.  Another
location has been made and the third well will start this week.

Cattle Sale.  Monte Fox, of Danville, Buys Thirty Thousand Dollars Worth of

for the Rockcastle River, for a week's outing, stopping during that time with
Mrs. Charity Poynter, whose hospitable home has been the mecca for the
Rockcastle fishing club for several years.  From the fact that Rev. Bourland

later just how many fish were caught and the size of the largest by actual
weight - Lancaster Record.
