About noon an exciting dispute
arose between VIM. Ryals and Henry
Hector over the respective weight of
a draft colt owned by Frank Buchanan
aged two months and thirteen days,
and sired by VIM. Ryals horse, Can
mock Oak, and one owned by Ed.
Buchanan, aged two months and three
days, sired by Hector's horse, Duns-
more Price. Both colts looked very
much alike and both men claimed to
have the heaviest colt. Finally
wager of keg of beer was made and
the colts weighed. Hector won the
bet by 81 pounds, the respective weight
being 396 pounds and 4SO pounds.
We are not informed what disposal
was made of the beer, but it is safe to
say that Hector's friends did not go
thirsty the remainder of the day.
There was much enthusiasm over
the success of the colt show, and an
effort will be made to offer liberal
premiums and make the show next
year even more successful.
Next year the show will be held
later in the season, and would it not
be well to start in now in the interest
of county fair to be held at the same
time. The farmers of this county
should take an active interest in a
county fair. Such an enterprise
would be of great benefit to them.

THE COLT SHOW.
FINE EXHIBIT OF BLooDED COLTS
LAST SATURDAY.

nrSt COLI snow ever helQ IN this county.
Early in the morning farmers began
to arrive from every part OF the coun-
ty, bringing with them their blooded
colts from two-year-old trotter or
draft down to sucking colt just old
enough to run about. By noon every
livery stable in the city was doing a
rushing business, and their correls and
stalls were crowded to make room for
the new arrivals. The weather was
fine and there was much greater in
teresl manifested in the show than
was anticipated even by the most en-
thusiastic parties. 1t was the COM
mon remark by horsemen during the
parade, that it was the finest exhibit of
bloodedIcolts they hadever seen together
at one time. A, 2 o'clock the process
sion was formed and Daraded Main
street for about two hours. All told
there was l25 colts or more exhibited,
Of which IS were sucking colts. There
were heavy draft colts, Clydes, Per
cherons and Englishire, and colts that
gave promise of making national re-
cord on the track as trotters or racers.
Among the breeds represented for
draft horses, was colts from Messrs
Pearls horse, Enock Lion; VIM. Ryal's
horse, Cannock Oak; Hector Bros
Black Shire horse, Dunsmore Prince,
and N. P. Newton's Clyde, all of
which weighed nearly a ton. Trotters

just alike and give promise of making
very fine horses

A Cornish Custom.

Of the more modern and wholly quaint
and innocent customs OF Cornwall Il few
pleasant illustrations may be cited. Tho
fish wives of ancient st. Ives are an in
corrigible lot. Should you visit the town
at the height of pilchard fishing, and en-
ter the dark cellars where hundreds of
women and girls are engaged in bulk
ing" or sailing, the fish, scores of grin
ming AmaZons will rush at you, and the
fleetest one will daub your shoes gener-
ously with the odorous fish oil which
has drained from the piles of curing fish.
This is called ''wiping the shoe," and if
you do not respond with tribute of at
least half crown for luck of the fair
maids that feed and clothe the poor
that is, the pilchard fishes-your subse-
quent ''hustling" by these savory
wenches will certainly cost you a new
suit of clothing. The same custom, save
that the daubing is done with miners
clay" prevails within the mines, where
the stranger is expected to pay some
thing for his initiation into their mys-
teries.-Edgar L. Wakeman in New
York Sun.

French coin of the realm. According to
him milliard in silver weighs 10, 900, 900
pounds; in gold, 645, 1850 pounds; in 900
franc checks, 1850 pounds, and in 100
franc checks, $4,000 pounds. Assuming
that a carrier could carry two hundred
weight, IS men would be required to
carry u milliard in 1000 franc checks,
115 men for the same sum in 100 franc
checks, 1925 men in gold and $4,000 in

The Barber Was Ready.

An old veteran told this as happening
at Savannah during the war:
A young officer, who was pretty much
of a bully, stopped in at tonsorial sa-
loon. Drawing his sword he ordered
the barber to shave him, at the same
time warning him that if he cut his face
or drew drop of blood he would kill
him when he got up. The operation was
performed without accident. Before he
went out, however, the bully asked the
artist if he was not very much fright
ened while he was doing the work.
The barber smiled
Not in the slightest" he replied;
''for if had accidentally drawn drop
of blood l would have cut your throat
from ear to ear before you could have
moved. Constitution.
