The Editor Df The Press accept
ed an invitation from MIR H c
Latferty the other day to take a
ride with him out into the country
to Mr. VIM Neyhart's, near Bulk
ley. We had heard some big sto-
ries about Mr. Latferty's trotters
and SO we felt Justified in chang
ing the program of the day and
accepting the invitation in order to
settle the matter from our own OBJ
servation. One of the horses was
his thorobred trotting stallion, u
handsome bay. and the way they
pot over the ground was a caution
all right. AS the roads were not
what they ought to be for speed
ing. we did not keep any account
OF their time. but we were salts
fed that they were good for at
least ten miles an hour anywhere.

ranch over to his son Arthur to
manage while he travels for a
humber of eastern novelty manu-
facturers, including p. w. Zeigler

publishers. MIR Lafferty had his
canvassing 'suitrase" with him and
did some good work. Being a
ready talker and story teller, we
think he will make success as an
agent also.
