OUR MARKET REPORTS.

The Herald, in keeping with tn
spirit of progressiveness that has Al
ways characterized the paper, has de
termined to make the market report
one of its attractive and most valua
BILE features. While there are man!
readers who never look at a marke
page and regard II as one Of the mos
uninteresting features of daily pa
per, large majority of the newspaper
readers are directly or indirectly in
! terested in the market quotations
The farmer who has produce to sell
is of course, interested vitality in cor
rect market prices. And the same is
true of the merchant who buys that
produce.
The Herald will make every effort
to give reasonably accurate reports of
local market quotations and, in addi-
ton, to give a summary Of the prices
for live stock on the Louisville market,
the great cattle market of the South
OF course, We cannot hope to give
absolutely accurate reports every day,
no paper nor individual can do that,
but we believe that we can assure
our readers that our reports will be
approximately accurate all the time.
Every day the markets will be
changed and corrected. In this way
the farmer living remote from the
marts of trade, can ascertain at a
glance whether he wants to place his
product on the market at once. He
can determine for himself and without
with any Interested deal
err as to whether or not it would pay
him to- hold or sell his croA at once.
This feature of the paper makes the
daily more than ever a necessity to
the up-to-date and intelligent farmer
The Weekly Herald will also carry
The market quotations, but that issue
goes to the farmer but once in seven
lays and the value of it's market quo
atoms is necessarily much less than
hose made in the daily. For these
'easons the farmer who desires to
,eep abreast of the times and posted
IS to the value of his product will
ind the Daily Herald of inestimable
dvantage.

what he has said in favor of the rights

that same doctrine of eternal Truth

called "demagogy," and trying to ar

1t is seldom that the County Court
# this county has more important
iuty to perform than 1t will have to
discharge next Monday when the sal
ary of the Tax Assessor is fixed. All
hings considered the Tax Assessor
s the most important official In the
,ounty. His duties are responsible
md onerous; he must place valua-
ion upon every piece of taxable prop
erty in the county More than that
ne must take care that his valuations
are Just and equitable in order that
there shall be no violation Of the con-
stitutional guarantee that all prop
erty shall be taxed approximately ON
the same basis Ttis official must
equalize as well as assess values.
In order to- discharge the duties OF
assessor with impartiality and justice
to taxpayers and to the State and
county it will require the services OF
a first rate business man. Moreover
the assessor should be a man free
from prejudice and without any sec |
tional feeling With him every tax
payer should be entitled to just the !
same consideration that is extended

De man Of judicial temperament. one
With a head of his own. More impor-
ant than this he should be man OF

In addition to the above requisites
he assessor must be able to make out
lis books in accurate and correct

he tax rolls of the county are made

The entry of a number of contestants
and the casting of many votes marked
the first day of The Herald's $15,OO0

This beginning at the earliest possible
time of efforts to win the valuable

terest already aroused in the contest
and which will increase daily as more
contestants are entered and the totals
of votes grow.
1t was but a few minutes after 8

CIRCUS SCHEDULE

The Shriners' circus has made great
hit
The crowds at each performance yes
terday increased till at last nights show
there was almost twice as many as at
the first performance Monday. Every
body seems to be learning that the
wearers of the fez have provided an
exceptionally entertaining feast of fun.
There are lots of strange things going
on all the time around the big tents at
Prayer park, where the Sells-Floto ag-
gregation, embellished by numerous Al
Malaikah stunts, is holding forth.
When the main show is over the
woman folk have observed a sudden
exodus of their husbands for parts un-
known. 1t has been puzzling the gen
tier sex so much that a Herald reporter
last night investigated. He found scores
of women standing around on one foot
waiting for hubby to return, and a
close search failed to reveal a single
hubby any place in sight. The reporter
also became puzzled, and-disguising
himself as a married man-proceded to
emulate the immortal Sherlock Holmes.
At this juncture two Shriners emerged
from the menagerie wearing a wild and
haunted expression on their counte-
nances. Their wives were tenaciously
clinging to their arms, and the re-
porter soon discovered by sympathetic
deduction that The men were anxious
to escape.
OF Those Naughty Men

something in his wife's ear and lodged
