COURT DAY.-Owing to Sundays
rain farmers were mostly at leisure
and came to town in large number}
Monday. However, not much aN
tention was given to the stsck
trade, and that business was mac
tive. Much discussion was given
to the threatened war between the
United States and Spain.
Only about rs cattle were offered
and they were not all sold, prices
not being SO strong as on recent
Court days. A few sows and some
sboats sold at low prices because
of the prevalence of hog cholera in
some localities. There was a big
improvementint in the prices of horses.
Some five or six stations were on
exhibition. Some were stylish and
showed up well.
Nearly all the merchants were
interviewed in regard to trade. In
the majority of instances business
was reported to have been fair.
Some had highly satisfactory
trade, as they speak for themselves
in the following:-
Eugene Minihan-"Biggest day
/ have had in a long time. All

/ GUDGELL-MAURY WEpDING.-The
marriage of Mr.. Howard e. Gudgell
and Miss Sudie Maury was to take
place on Tuesday, April 18th, and
as it would be too late to get a di-
rect report of the ceremony for
this weeks issue of The OUTLOOK
We are compelled to confine our
mention to the intended programme,
as reported to US. The wedding was
to be a quiet one, without any
bridesmaids or groomsmen, the
ceremony to be performed by Rev.
NJ. NJ. Benton at the Advent Epis-
copal Church in Louisville. The
bridal couple will return to Ow-
ingsville Saturday. No formal re-
ceptlon will be made.
The bride is the second youngest
daughter of DIR. Joseph f. Maury,
deceased. Her parents dying while
she was a young child, she was
reared by her cousin, Mrs. John L.
KImbrough. She is young lady
of much refinement and is well ac-
complished. Since her advent into
society she has been one of the
most popular young ladies in social
circles and is admired and esteem
ed by all who know her.
Howard C. Gudgell is one OF
Owingsville's most popular young
men. He is the youngest child of
Reuben Gudgell, the prominent at
torney. and has for some years been
associated with his father in the
large law practice of r. Gudgell 4
Son. Howard is a CHEEKY natured,
big-hearted young man and one
whose host of friends will delight
to see prosper and climb the ladder
to popularity and fame. The sue
cess of his suit in winning the heart
and hand of his fair and charming
bride pleases his friends beyond
measure, and they hope a similar
success may attend him through
life. To him and his bonny bride

WAR Nor FUN.-Olympia, Ky
TO THE PEOPLE OF BAIn: | have

Others, as l was. l today stand
firmly with Mckinley to keep it
down as long as it is right. But
say when iL has to come Mack will
be as willing as any man in Con
gress, although they appear so keen
for it. When l rolled up my hag
in the spring of SiXty-fivc little did

rolled again for the purpose of

that is all. If our flag or our peo-
pie are mistreated stand by them.
| stood by them in my young days.
l stood by my country in need. To-
day stand to the President of these
United States and my flag; but,
still, l am not as able as l was in

willing. Boys, it is heap easier
to say this on paper than it is to
face the mouth of a cannon. When
/ talk to an old soldier he prays
that this thing can be settled with
out any bloodshed, as it takes the
best blood and the best men on

fight and We can prepare ourselves

FOR The OUTLOOK by j. :. PHELPs &

sales this week show decided fall.
ing off, and are smaller than they
have been any week since January
of this year. The market on Tues
day and Wednesday was dull and
irregular; prices on the medium
grades that sold from $lI to $I4
were very unsatisfactory to sellers,
and reflections were very liberal in
these kinds. On Thursday and Fri
day the bidding was decidedly
more animated; prices more salts
factory to sellers. All the indica-
tions point to very light business
for the remainder of this month,
tand we see no reason why prices
Fshould not 90 back to where they
were the early part of March. The
percentage of reflections this week
was 81 per cent. This clearly in
dicates that holders are not willing
to take present prices.
In Old Burley the offerings were
small and largely confined to the
common, funked smokers without
color. These kinds showed little
more life than last week, but are
still much below the prices that
ruled for them during February.
The colory smokers selling below
$3.50 met with fair competition.
The few hhds. of common to me-
dunn old that appeared in gool
condition sold fairly well. Very
little good Old leaf offered, and the
demand for it at prices above $I3
was limited.
