KENTUCKY HsAP CRoP.-A gentleman of this
city, who has just returned from Kentucky informs
us that he made dgent inquiry while in that State
respecting the growing hemp crop, and from the
cd the best not only in quantity but in quality since
1872 All parties agree it is very fine, and being
now nearly ready for the knife nothing can prevent
its turning out finely. The crop by many is csti.
at least twenty-five per cent better in quality than
that of last year. The crop of 1912 was reckoned
OF 20 to $4,000 tons. The present, it is generally
believed will not fall short Of 10000 tons. In ma
ny parts the stalk is ready for the knife and farm
ers who have old stocks on hand are anxious to SELL
There can be no mistake about the yields being
larger and better than that of any season in ten
years, or since lSa2.--St. Louis Republican.

Auditor deliberately invites the bill holders to pocket the
loss and take at par stocks which have deprecated in

Indiana currency is much poorer than that Of Of
