WuPilNsTTLLt KNTUCKIAN AUGUST II MEN IN MIND IN HOPKINSVILLE People of Prominence In The Pearl City of The Pennyroyal. A Born Hotel Man Who "Arrived" By A Circuitous Route. Some men never find their right -vocations until they are taught in the school of experience. The world is made up -largely of people in the -wrong places. In the words of the poet Gray: "Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear, JFull many a flower is born to blush unseen waste its sweetness on the desert air." "Many a scholar missed his making because his lines were cast in gee-lawing over the back of a mule, ilany a mighty intellect has been wasted in driving nails.

Many a man who has it in him to be a great awyer, merchant or statesman, dies -without his opportunity ever coming. JHost men begin business by secur-ng a job that happens to be open, only last spring bought a one-third interest in the Pennyroyal Apart-! mcnt Building, the $50,000 building just finished on tho corner of Main and Eleventh streets. This is not all. Ho has spent $15,000 in re modeling Hotel Latham, which now has 7G rooms, besides six store rooms.

In his hotel business Mr. Noe is ably assisted by one of his sons, Al bert Noe, the firm being A. Noe Son. He has made Hotel La tham the pride of Hopkinsville and a credit to the state.

Strangers get their first impressions of a town by its hotels and no man gets other than a good impression of Hopkinsville when he steps into Hotel Latham Everything gives evidence of a mas ter hand, of whom it can be said, he is the right man in the right place A. D. Noe made money feeding horses and A. D. Noe Son are making a fortune feeding men.

MONDAY THE DAY For The Opening Session of The Colored Teachers' Institute. A. D. NOE. Without considering the great ques tion of a hie calling.

When a man has the right stuff in him, the first job is used as a stepping stone to better and eventually a life's ambition is realized and the roan works his way to success in a calling for which nature all along had intended him. The most successful hotel man Hopkinsville has ever had belongs to this class. Some time before the civil war, Albert D. Noe was born in Washington county, on a farm. When he was ten years of age hi3 father moved to Logan county and after a few years again moved to McLean county, where the future hotel man gftw to manhood and struck out for himself.

15 first job was in a drug store at Sacramento, and in time he became deputy sheriff of McLean county under Sheriff T. M. Caudill. His next move was to Madison-ville where he bought a livery stable and made money feeding horses. In these days Judge John Grace was circuit iudce and Mr.

Noe was one of his great friends, Hopkins county! at that time being in the third judical district. While in Madisonville Mr. Noe was married and soon afterwards made another change, hot only in location but in business. He moved to Union county and bought a farm and also became interested in a coal mine. He remained in that county until 190G when he went to Webster county to become manager of the Sebree Springs Hotel property.

This proved to be the turning point in his life and gave him a try-out that showed what nature had designed for him. In July 1908, when Hopkinsville Wasnaving its baptism of fire and merchants were running their stores in the' day and doing picket duty at night, Mr. Noe came to the city as Ipksgo and manager of Hotel Latnam Capt. L. W.

Whitlow, who had run it successfully, had given it up and one or two unsuccessful attempts had been'inade to keep it on a pay ing basis Mr. Noe the business at a low ebb, but he went at the work of building it up with unbounded ener cv and consummate wisdom. He lost money tho first month, but found where the leaks were and promptly stopped them and has lost no money since. Oh the contrary, he has bought the hotel property that orig The Christian County colored teachers institute holds its annual session in the Christian County Cir cuit Court toom, beginning Aug. 17th, and closing Aug.

Other farmers maylive in mud huts, wear second hond clothing and make all their purchases on the basis of price alone, but we believe that CHRISTIAN COUNTY FARMERS consider quality and put performance above price. That's why for thirty years we have kept our energies on one problem.

That's why every day in the year we ask ourselves and seek the answer to one question: HOW GOOD CAN FERTILIZER BE MADE? Every year the nearest approach to the ultimate answer is GLOBE FERTILIZER. In the hunt for Cheap Prices don't lose sight of quality. Remember that Cheap Merchandise and Cheap Men are always a drug on the market. Remember that there is always a Right Price for a good product, and that the best evidence of quality and reasonable price in any goods is the fact of its acceptance and use by THOSE WHO KNOW. The CHRISTIAN COUNTY FARMERS who use GLOBE rilKTlLlZEK are our evidence that the gpods are right and that the prices are right.
