At Work Again.

The farmers met at Carlisle last
July and organized an insurance COM
pany for isolated property only. The
territory occupied by this company is
Bourbon and adjoining counties, hence
includes this county. While they
have as yet done no work here, they
are growing rapidly in Nicholas and
Bath counties. They now have about
three hundred thousand dollars in
surance. We understand that Cole
Templeman, the President of the AL
lance in Nicholas county, will soon
60 to work among the farmers in
these parts. This company is of same
nature as the company that has been
in operation in Fleming county for
sixteen years, and they have paid on
all average during that time about
SLIGO per 81, 900, and carry insurance
against fire, lightning and wind storm
of any description. This is less than
one-fifth of what we are paying for
fire only, and when we remember
that they pay all man carries, it is
no wonder the farmers are favoring
the company.

Allerton has a record, made against
time, of 2 :094.
Nancy Hanks has a race record OF
2 IL. Both records were made on a
kite-shaped track.
BY perseverance and by putting up
big money, Secretary Ed. A. Upton,
of the Kentucky Trotting Horse
Breeders Association, has arranged a
race between these two wonderful
trotters, to come off over the Lexing-
ton track during the coming meeting,
which begins October II.
The winner will receive more
money than has ever been paid by an
association to the winner OF a trotting
race.
Last night Secretary Upton received
a telegram from G. w. Williams, the
fortunate owner of Allerton, that he
would accept Mr.. Doble's proposition,
in so far that he would trot for $4,000,
the winner to take all the money.
Some time ago Mr.. Williams made a
vow never to lay another wager, and
on this account he did not feel that he
could bet Doble $4,000 and let the
Association add $4,000, as Doble pro.
posed. In order, therefore, to make
just the same amount of money for
the winner, the Kentucky Association
put up the entire $4,000, which will, of
course, keep Doble from having to put
up any money, and yet give him a
chance to win $4,000, and no chance
10 lose a dollar.-[Lexington Tran
