Fat women arn't half as jolly about it

"A woman is never too old not to play

Mighty few girls who go away from

There is nothing that makes a woman
brag about her husband more than to
have him always right and there is moths

Catalogues Higher.

The market is well stocked with can
taloupes every day, but choice lots are
rather scarce and command much higher
prices than they did week or two ago.
The best bring as much as $3.50 crate.
Cantaloupes of indifferent quality sell for
Csc to 75c. There are forty in crate.
The acreage in eantaloupes in this
state this season was three or four times
larger than it ever was before. but the
demand for this fruit has been sufficient
to consume all that come on the market.

TOM JoHNsoN's CANDIDACY.

From the Minneapolis Times.
Announcement that Tom Loftin john
son is a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for President in 1904 has more
significance than the ambition of one
man. 1t reflects the inwardness of an
intrigue to circumvent certain plans of
eastern partisans to regain control of the
Democratic organization.

a PopuIar Trip.

MANY Birmingham people are visiting

but she made inquiries, all sorts of con.
illusions, and told me that for building
a womans dress she had to use 1900 PIN
or thereabout before it was delivered Il
the customer.
Then I said to her: do you gather
up all those pins? How many do you
recover?' To my establishment she re.
piled that not fifty out of the twelve
hundred were recovered. IT may take
it, I suggested. that the floor of your
workshop is absolutely strewn with
thousands of pins" She babe me look
for myself. There were not certainly
twenty pins on the carpet of the room.
Mystery, mystery.
l have heard of some women who are
very careful of their pins and use the
same over and over again. have
heard of them, but am not acquainted
with them.
To finish, an anecdote on pins, and
true one too: The famous French
banker Lafftte, when a young man,
presented himself one day to a banker
with a strong letter of recommendation.
The young man was tidy, simply but
well dressed, and pleased the banker.
Unfortunately there was no vacancy in
the bank at the time and young Laffitte
was told that his name would be taken
down, and he would be informed and
probably asked to enter the bank the
moment there was a vacancy.
The young man modestly bowed and
retired toward the door, when his atten-
ton was drawn by pin which was lying
on the floor. He picked it up and put it
on the cushion that was on the bankers
bureau.
The latter took notice of the perform
ance and said to young Laffitte: 1--WE
have no vacancy, but 1 will make room
for you. Tomorrow you may come at
o'clock in the morning and enter upon
your new duties"
Ten years after Lafiitte was a part
ner in the big firm and he died the rich
est and most honored banker in Paris
One of the principal streets leading on
to the Boulevard des Italiens is named
after him.
Take care of your pins; it may lead
you to fortune.

factory to Sellers.
Considerable Activity Reported
in the Loose Market-Cash
Quotations For Week.

The tobacco market was some
stronger this week on all grades
and prices were quite satisfactory
to sellers. The marketing of the
new crop is still being greatly de-
layed by the bad condition of the
country roads, but stock is grad
ually accumulating in the ware
houses and sales will greatly in
crease in a few weeks.
We quote the following prices for
the week;
Common lugs, S4 to $3.50; medium
lugs, $4.75 to S5.25 low leaf, $3.50
to SO. 25; common leaf, SO. so toS7 .25;
medium leaf, $3.50 to 50; no good
leaf offered.
Receipts for the week, $40 hogs
heads: receipts Tor the year, 1866
hogsheads. Sales for the week, p
hogsheads; reflections 5.
Much loose tobacco is being re
ceived and there is considerable
activity along this line. About 81
per cent. of the crop in Nortl
Christian has been sold and nearly
all under contract has been de
Ilivered. In South Christian the pc
cent. of sales is not so great.

INTO THE COURTS.
Law Question Raised in the

New Commissioners EnjOined
From Succeeding Those Whose

Messrs. Charles Knight, J. Burch
Walker and R.W. Ware, the three
Democratic Commissioners Of the
OF the Western Asylum whose terms
have not expired, have decided to
resist in the courts the attempt of
the Governor to remove them. They
have been granted a temporary in
junction by Judge Cook, restraining
their successors, Messrs. Carroll,
Chiffon and Hill, from acting. The
case will be heard Saturday March
18th.

ANOTHER
Fine Opera House Will Soon Be
Erected.
The Elks To Be The flowing Spirit
In The Enterprise.

With the opening of spring the
erection Of a new place OF amuse-
ment will probably begin. The
KENTUcKIAN is not in full possess .
ion of details, but has learned
enough to state with almost abso-
lutte certainty that a New Opera
House will be erected during the
year. The Elks are the prime
movers in the enterprise, and any
thing they take hold Of generally
goes through with a rush.
Last week this paper devoted
about one and a half columns set
ting forth the great necessity Of the
organization of a Board of Trade or
Commercial Club, and whilst this
talked of movement may not be the
outcome of anything contained in
the article, yet it strikes us that if
we are to have a Board of Trade
it's nucleus lies in the Elks Lodge.
Whilst we would not say any
thing in deragation of the other no
BILE secret societies of the city, still
we must say that the latest order
instituted here seems to have in it
that degree of life, enterprise and
go-aheadativeness that is requisite
to the upbuilding and progress of
our city.
It is estimated that the prospect
i've new place of amusement will
cost $4,000 or S35,OOO. Several
building sites have been considered
but no one definitely fixed upon.
The frontage required is to be IS
feet, with a depth of 127. The build
ing is to show three stories and the
auditorium is to be on the ground
floor; to show three stories, the
front will probably be built of
rough or dressed stone. The build
ling will be heated by steam or hot
air radiators and lighted by cleo
tricity. All modern appliances and
conveniences will, of course, be
used, and everything used in mod
ern up-to-date buildings Of its
character will be put in,
