HORSE SWAPPING DAY.

In Tennessee and kentucky first
Mondays usually find a big crowd of
farmers and horse swappers at the
county seats.
The News would suggest that the
lovers of horses meet here on

vember, with their swapping animals
and have big day.
1t might be well to ask the fiddlers
to come along also to make the &C.
casion gay one. Bring horses and
mules, however worthless, that the
scene on the "bone yard" with the
dickering OF the owners, and the
cavorting Of the steeds, will be much
fun that the day will be observed on
the opening day Of each Circuit court

triplets. A few weeks ago it was boy
bankruptcies. AS there seems to be an
increase of one scheduled for each
visit, there is evidently something in
store for Mississippi and the happy
couple.

Hariman's death would disturbe the
markets, but New York ought to have
sufficient confidence in the financier
to know that when he departs for
Heaven or Somewhere Else, he will
leave his house in order.
