A CARD.

To the Breeders of Lafayette and Adjoining
Counties.
We nounce with pleasure to the
breeders of Lafayette county and adjoin-
ing counties, that we have bought at a
good long price the saddle and harness
stallion "Granger Denmark" He will
stand this season at the place of j. G.
Bledsoe, on the old fair ground road, one
half mile south of court house.
He was sired by old Granger Denmark,
now dead; he by Washington Denmark,
he by Gaines old Black Denmark, he by
Four mile racer Denmark, he by Imp.
Hedgeford. Our horse first dam was by Old
John billiard; I'd dam by old Grey Eagle,
thoroughbred; Sd dam was by Old Whip,
thoroughbred. He is a rich blood bay,
black name and tail, small star, two hind
ankles white; right at IS hands, weighs
stance but is highly finished.
He has a splendid hoof-legs are fiat and
clean as bars of steel. He is finely coupled,
has short back, good length underneath,
we'll ribbed out, fine sloping shoulder,
heavy loin, and the finest head and neck
ever put on any horse.
He is a natural saddle horse; goes all
the gaits, and his running walk is hard to
beat. Drives single and double. He is
very intelligent and kind; a lady can ride
or drive him anywhere, right up to a
train, and he is afraid of nothing. Granger
Denmark is the best bred saddle stallion
IN the United States to day. He IL the
only stallion living that is as close up to
Old Washington Denmark 1.-THE king Of
all Denmarks) and out OF a mare by Old
John billiard, the founder of the billiard
family of saddl 'rs, and having back OF
this the blood of Old Grey Eagle and
Whip in his I'd and Sd dams.
He was bred and raised by Col. Fields,
of Woodford county, Kentucky, a man
who has bred, raised and sold more fine
saddle horses than any man in Kentucky.
Col. Fields stood him four years., and then
sold him to parties in Monroe county,
this state, from whom we bought him,
Granger has never changed hands but
once before we got him.
The following is taken from a letter
from Col. Fields to me in regard To
Granger:
"DEAR SR:-your of twentieth inst. just
received. In reply will say the breeding 81
Granger. as given, is correct; and will adt
lin my oplniOn) there Is no better bred saddle
stallion living. We owned and stood him
finding him u sure foAl getter and a very
uniform breeder. His colts being fine goer'
In all gaits. He produced many stations nov
In Kentucky and Missouri, two of whom arr
owne1 In Paris, Monroe county. Mo. car
truly say he was considered one of the fines
breeders In Kentucky"
A. F. Wycoff, Appleton City, Mo-, ha,
one oil his colts, Artist Granger, at thu
head OF his stud, standing him in place o
Artist Montrose, whose fee is $40, Mr.
Wycoh having sent his horse, Arts
Montrose, to Monroe county to stand il
place of Artist Granger.
As we are in the business to stay, ant
