THE TOBACCO TRUST
Is Buying Largely of the Weed
At HopkinsviIIe.
THE ASSOCIATION IS ELATED
Over the Early Sales and Be-
lieve Their Fight is
Now Won.

Hopkinsville, KY, April 15.-Cold
and blustery weather which has
reigned for the past several days
caused the local tobacco market to be
less active than the preceding week.
The demand, however, was strong and
prices ruled firm at last weeks quota
tons, with possibly a slight advance.
The offerings for the week were near
ly all grades except fine Jugs and leaf,
and in every instance all offerings
were readily sold as soon as put up.
On the loose floor, offerings showed
sharp decrease in amount, as the
farmers could not handle their tobacco
in its dry condition. That which was
offered, though, was eagerly sought,
and prices reached the satisfactory
point of 5000 for medium leaf, while
lower grades ranged equally high in
proportion.
No hogshead sales were reported on
the general market, but receipts were
heavier than usual. Indications are
that this branch of the market will
open soon, and when it does much ac-
tivity is expected.
The local salesman for the Planters
Protective Association reports the
sale of $50 hogsheads of tobacco. This
ranged in grade from Jugs to medium
leaf, and the prices realized were from
$3.50 to $11. The association is much
elated over the early sales which are
being made this year, this signifying,
so they claim, that the trusts have
realized that they must buy from the
organization and at prices fixed by the
farmers. The salesman also reports
that the demand Is very strong land
that already the prices realized show
an advance of So yer hundred over
last year, and that everything points
to still better prices in the future.

The Lodges.

Rough River Lodge, No. 40, X. of

night, April 8, 1907. There was a
large attendance and the first rank
work was conferred on one candidate
in very impressive manner. Those
who did the work are to be compli-
mented in the very highest terms.
Two new applications were received
and this will doubtless inspire every
member and cause him to be up and
doing. The work is beautiful when
properly done and it can not be prop
erly done without the necessary prepa-
ration. Preparations are being made
for Memorial" day and the members
should not forget it, but do all they

Just as a Reminder.

The Central City Argus says:
The Republicans of Kentucky, who
recently condemned the redistricting
law in this State as something with
out a parellel are referred to the
fact that, last week, the Court of APP
peals of the State of New York re-
versed the judgments of the courts
below and declared unconstitutional
and void the apportionment of legis-
lative districts made by the last
Legislature, which was overwhelming
ly Republican. The consequences of
this decision will prove a veritable
political earthquake" in the politics
of that State. Formerly influential
politicians who were supposed to
have been killed politically by last
years apportionment return to the
field of influence The decision throws
into confusion political alignments
and relations in every part of the
State made to suit new conditions.

ARUMOR CONFIRMED
Concerning Alleged Marriage of
: Hartford Couple.
THE BRIDE REFUSES TO TALK
But Not so With the Clerk of
Vanderburg County,
Indiana.

Quite a sensation has been brewing
in Hartford the past few days on ac-
count of the rumored marriage of
one of our little city's most popular
widows, Mrs. Lucy Townsend We'd
, ding, teacher in the sub-collegiate
department of Hartford College, and
Mr.. Henry Watterson Blanchett, gen.
orally known as Mr.. Watterson Coop
er, foster son of Mr.. ]. w. Cooper, OF
Beaver Dam.
The affair was given added inter-
est on account of the social promi-
nence of the couple, and the evident
,attempt to keep the facts a secret.
1t is said that they had been sweet
hearts only short while.
On last Friday Mr.. Cooper Tor Mr..
Blanchett) left for Greensboro, with
Evansville as his supposedly objec-
tive destination. Mrs. Wedding left
for Evansville next day. Rumor had
it that they had gone to be married.
information on the subject.
Mrs. Wedding returned to Hartford
on the early bus Monday morning
and resumed her duties at the Col
lege. Mr.. Blanchett returned to Beav-
er Dam yesterday afternoon, arriving
there on the o'clock train.
Mrs. Wedding was Intercepted on
the subject of her marriage several
times after her return, but she gave
evasive replies and seemed to be dis
pleased that the subject should be
mentioned. She would neither affirm
nor deny the report and gave it as
her opinion that it was nobody's bus
mess whether she and Mr.. Cooper Tor
Blanchett) were married or not. 1t
is said that she refused to be con-
graduated or felicitated upon the
happy affair.
Aiming to be sure about the mat
ter and to confirm the happy hopes of
her numerous friends, representa-
tive of The Herald called upon Mrs.
Wedding personally and asked to be
authoritatively informed upon the sub
ject. She positively refused to be
interviewed on the matter of her ru-
mored marriage, and rather CURLY dis
missed her interrogation with the re-
mark that she had nothing to say"
The Herald man Immediately repair
ed to the telephone office and called
up the clerk of Vanderburg county,
Indiana. The clerk was asked If he
had recently issued marriage license
to Mr.. Watterson Cooper and Mrs. Lu
cy Townsend Wedding, both from
Hartford He hesitated a second and
then said he would look at his record
and see. He soon replied and said
that no license had been issued to
Mr.. Cooper and Mrs. Wedding. but
that a marriage license had been is
sued to Mr.. Henry Watterson Blan-
chett and Mrs. Lucy Townsend We'd
ding.
This seems to confirm the rumor-
A., settle the matter-and we see no rea-
son why the many friends of the COUP
lie should not join together in con-
gratulations and the hearty wish that
they will enjoy a long and happy
married life.
