ample police protection the Louis
vile Railway company is operating

Far Ahead of Previous Years
in Yield and in
Quality.
TWELVE CENT WEED.
Lery Little Low Grade To-
bacco Found Anywhere
This Season.

Guthrie. KY, Nov. 16e-The to-
baceo crop Of the black patch" this
year will far exceed all previous
years in yield, quslity and, /, e.
sumably, in price. Offers thus far
made indicate thatit will bring from
10 to IL cents per pound, an average
of three cents over the price of'the
last crop. At the meeting of the as
sociation directors here yesterday
the inspectors gave it as their opin-
ion that the entire crop of the thirty
counties in Kentucky and Tennessee
and nineteen counties in Vir-
ginia would average 20 per cent.
better in grade than has been pro-
duced before in twenty years. Very
little low grade tobacco has been
found anywhere, due to the success
of the producers in keeping out the
worms. Most of the crop is whole
leaf product and in most cases 1t has
been well cared for. Whilefew sales
Of the new crop have been reported,
many offers of IL cents per pound
have been made, which means that
the crop will bring from 500 $3.50
per acre. Curing tobacco has been
a light problem this year and most
of the members have taken good
care of the crop and had few losses.
The good weather during harvest
time enabled most growers to get
their tobacco housed and under fire
before the bad weather began. The
directors of the association, COM
prising one; member for. each of the
forty.nine counties in the three
states, report excellent conditions
and that the farmers are willing to
wait until the market price is right
before selling. Most of the tobacco
farmers are now planting diversified
crops and do not depend upon the
tobacco crop exclusively. With a
heavier yield, better grade and gen.
orally better conditions prevailing,
the tobacco growers are expecting
entirely satisfactory returns.

Value of Insurance.

Fires originate in unexpected
places and from unknown causes.
Doubtless some one who reads this
article will sustain the next loss.
Are YOU insured and have you the
best insurance your money can buy?
The Giant Insurance Agency,
Qncorporated,) the leading fire
insurance, agency in the city,
represents ten multimiIlionaire
companies and settles their losses
promptly and equitably and guaran-
tees to sell their policies at as low
rate as any company doing business.

Turkeys High.

The supply of turkeys in some Sec
tons is very short and there is an
advance in price that almost shuts
out the poor man from observing
Thanksgiving day as usual. which is
now only ten days off. They will
be some higher than usual here this
year. The chief cause. however, is
that there are parties in this city
and surrounding towns who make a
business Of buying poultry and eggs
and shipping to the larger cities.

MONEY WAS MELTED.
Dwelling and Contents, In
cluding Cash, Destroyed. !

The dwelling of Jerry Owen, COL,
the Kentuckian's janitor, was de-
stroyed by fire of unknown origin
Friday, together with its contents.
The building was situated just out
side the city limits. south of Sharp's
field. Owen also lost about SIS in
silver, which was in a trunk. How
the fire started is a mystery. When
the flames were first discovered by
the occupants, one side of the house
was enveloped. The fire is supposed
to have originated from the outside
and near the ground. The loss is
about $500, with no insurance.

Of. In this district the conditions
stem 20 be improved, the association
leaders having announced that no at
tempt will be made to prevent the
Hopkinsville buyers from buying the
small amount Of tobacco still out of
the association and the Society of
Equity. The 1906 crop has all been
sold and the 1907 crop will be taken
up as fast as II Is put on the market,
but the loose dealers on this market
are buying all loose offerings at
higher prices than association tobac-
co, because i suits their purposes
better before 1t has been priced.
They will. Of course, have to buy the
association tobacco in hogsheads to
get enough Tor their factories, but
they claim that they would rather
pay 81 more for the same tobacco
loose. as the tobacco is harder to
stem after it has been priced and
also more difficult to classify. Ex-
peficnce will probably show the as
sociation managers the advantage
Mat would accrue to them by having
loose price as well as a priced price
fixed upon the crops placed in the
organization. This, however, has
not been done and the buyers are
compelled 10 wait until the tobacco
ha8 been handled by the prizing
houses before they can buy it. Fears

Until the new state changes the
law, the old territorial law of Okla
homa relating to divorces will be re-
instated by the admission of the
state. Congress suspended it in the
territory, but the admission act con-
tinues the territorial laws until
changed by the legislature. This
permits a divorce to be granted after
a ninety-days' residence and former
ly hundreds Of wealthy people ac-
quired a temporary residence in
order to get speedy divorces. This
order of things is again in force.

Returning confidence makes the
financial outlook brighter than it has
been for a week and the only thing
that is causing trouble now is the
tendency to hoard currency. Henry

Millions of gold is now on its way to
this country and will help to relieve
