SPECIALITY.
HORSE PRICES LowER.

HORSE PRICES LOWER.
We had a big run of horses at last
Fridays sale, almost twice as many
as we expected. And we had about
the usual number of buyers, but they
wanted them at $40 to $40 per head be-
low the high prices during the spring.
We must all realize the fact
that the season of high prices for this
year Is past and owners must expect
from now on either to sell them lower
or hold them over till next spring. We
expect the market to hold about steady
through the summer at the present
decline and will hold our sales regular
" every other Friday. We will have
plenty Of buyers for every market
horse You can bring us, but you will
simply have to figure on taking $15 to

bringing during the upring. Next sale

tised to have some extra good draft

CONCRETE BLOCK PLANT

EnsIey, February 23.-(Special.)-A great deal of enthusiasm has been aroused in Ensley by the organization of a golf club. A number of the young people at a meeting held recently, formed a tenn porary organization and elected officers, committees, etc. The grounds on which the links are to be laid have been secured and are very nicely located, and when put into shape will make a beautiful nine hole course. Ensley has long needed something of this sort and as there are quite a number of very ardent golf play CTS here the success of the club seems assured. Although the season is hardly on, some of the more enthusiastic mem- bers have been playing for several weeks and by the time the season has opened the club will be well established.
 As soon as the membership, which is growing fast will warrant 1t, club house is to be erected on the links. Pro- vision has already been made for several tennis courts.

Concrete Block and Cement Plant.


 Eugene Miller, one of the most progress siVe young business men of the town, has installed a concrete block and brick plant on the site known as the old Jordan coal yard,' on Railroad avenue, between ty-seeond and Twenty-third streets. He has been more successful than he had anticipated, as it was his intention to manufacture blocks for his own use in constructing eight or ten dwellings, but as this is betting to be very popular commodity with the contractors, he has booked quite a number of good orders. He is greatly impressed with the demand for this class of material, and if the outlook continues as bright as 1t now ap- pears, he will order air compressors and other machinery to facilitate the manu- facture, and enable him to get out a much larger output.
 The block he is making is said to be the only double space air block manu- factured in the district and is said to have attracted the attention of many prominent contractors.
 The concrete brick is already wei known being manufactured of sand and cement and he has been assured that his plant will be taxed to it's capacity to meet the demand, as much building is going on, and he now regrets that he did , not equip at the beginning for a larger i output
 ! The citizens of the town are very glad | to see small industries starting up here, for they do much good to the town.

How He Made Money.

TIOW lfC "doS "OiSJh
 He had made the womens acquaintance and had actually proposed to the younger one. Every now and then, on his return from the races, he brought them small sums of money which he had taken the liberty of winning for them." He recouped himself by gambling with the women's friends. and in the course of few weeks he had made several thousand pounds out of two or three young men who, having been introduced to them by women whom they knew well, had no suspicion that they were in the hands of a sharper.
 But thieves and sharpers are by no means the only pitfalls awaiting the un- wary visitor to Paris. A tremendous trade is done here in bogus theatre tickets, and it Is very unsafe to take tickets for a theatre or music hall anywhere except at the official box office Outside every theatre in Paris are men with tickets for sale, and even if the tickets they sell be, as they often are, perfectly genuine ones, the unofficial vendors exact enormous prices for them, basng the price asked upon the guillbility of the buyer.
 As for bad money, that in the sum ner season, is almost unavoidable. Mum hers of walters in the cafes frequented by foreigners keep stores of Peruvian O. franc pieces and other unnegotiable coins in a special pocket, and plant them on their customers. I could i'll this column with a list of coins to be avoided, but q good general rule is to refuse any thing that is not French and that IS nor coin either of the third republic or or the second empire.

All the shows in Paris advertise in the news naners and on the round columns on the bonlevards. And you can get all neces- sarv information as to where to go rom five Paris cabmen out of six.
 Even if the guide does not rob you by nicking vour pocket (and this he does comparatively rarely), he Is of no real value to you. And, as he is known m every place to which he takes you the expenses of your trip around are increased I about 100 per cent, so that the guide may i he given his heavy commission on every l thing for which you pay
