The United States fairy swarms with
wouid-be-caiI't-be poets OF both sexes
and the average country editor not only
prints but puffs their dIshwatery dog
gerel. For instance, Arabeila writes
something that starts off thus:
"The summer time has come again and
leafy are the trees,
l hear the chirps of crickets and the
buzzing of the bees,
And / am just as happy now as yonder
singing dove,
For the very one that | love pest mas
told me of his love.
Pretty rocky, amt IT? Or, perhaps.
It's something like this, from Tilted
youth:
TO- Arabel.a, why did you 80 and trust
me so?
You know 1 loved you and wcrsbiped
your golden lIllr and laso your brow
OF snow;
And II dosen't seem right that you should
go and throw me over just at this
time
When my love for thee was Just begin
ming to show that 1t would soon be
In It's prime"
The average country editor, instead OF
hinglng such rot" into the yawning
grave of unappreclated genius-the waste
basket-wlll put 1t In type and say:
1--WE print gem of poetry from the
pen of gifted contributor today, and
we predict That its writer will make a
lasting mark In American literature"
o, temporal o mores! O-mush!

The advertising space in newspaper
has a fixed value. To sell 1t for less
or to give 1t away Is to destroy its value.
1t is more profitable to I'LL space with
reading matter than to occupy 1t with
advertising at less than regular rates.
1t never pays to put in an advertisement
simply to fill up or to keep u dollar from
getting away. A dollar refused is often
two dollars made. The only way to get
paid for space is to have an established
price, and nothing so impresses AN ad-
vertiser with the fact that space IS worth
what Is asked for it like refusal to
accept less when 1t is offered. The pub
Usher must not let the advertiser work
him either by jewlng him down or putting
off ink or type or some other material
upon him at double its actual value. A
publisher can, within rational limits, fix
ais own price upon his columns, but he
must stick to 1t even though 1t bring tears
to his eyes.

Court Day.

Only fair crowd in town yester-
terday and the business done by the
merchants was generally light. A
splendid rain that continued all the
forenoon and part of the the afternoon
interferred much with business.
There were 500 or 600 cattle on the
market, but generally of an inferior
quality. The prices ranged from II
to 81 cents. About 200 sheep were
in the pens and what sold brought
a low figure. Few mules on the
market and fewer buyers with prices
away down. jeff Bryant of Bourbon
county, bought one small mule for
$40. Daniel Harper sold to Beard. of
Lexington, good work mule for 500.
T. FL. Grubbs sold same party pair
good work mules for $40. There
were no good horses on the market,
and for common stock there was no
demand.
