Horse Market ON Court Dav.

The August and March terms O
the County Court have always beer
noticeable for II large turnout o.
the county people. OF course one
half of these who come have ne
business to transact, but it being &
season Of the year when people ARE
not busy, they flee from their sur.
roundings and monotony of every.
day life as IA restful help.
Monday was not an exception to
previous March Courts BY the
time the sun had spread over earth
his rosy wings, the valleys, the
hills and the mountains had yield
ed up more than her accustomed
quota of its sovereigns to see and
be seen in Lexington on that day.
1t was too wet to plough, but
horse-trading is very seasonable at
March Court. By 10 O'Clock
stalwart men could be seen perched
on horses, refined up to the highest
tension, beseeching passers-by for
horse trade, or bona fide sale,
while the horse in question would
not make decent bait for buzz
zard. The price they would ask
would stagger thinking man.
On the other hand there are
many good horses offered for sale
at reasonable prices, which always
commands buyers. Sound horses
from six to eight years of age, of
good weight, are sought by the men
who perambulate the thorough
fares with their long whips and
bunch of rope haltera. These
horse-buyers never "jew" seller;
they simply ask the seller what he
holds the animal at, and if the
buyer thinks he is high, they do
lot exchange talk, but that is the
md of it.
The usual price paid for horses
Monday was from $50 to 800.
Horses of exceptional gaits are
ometimes sought after that range
s high as $3.50 to 5000, but that
no index to the general market.
