Stock Poisoned.

On Tuesday of this week Mr.. Bright
Herring, who lives at the iron bridge
on the New Danville pike. lost two
milk cows, four yearling cattle and
young mule from paris green
poisoning. The cattle had been turned
to Craze on patch of rye which had
been planted in tobacco patch, and
while using paris green on the tobacco

of the boxes that had contained the
poison in the field, and the cattle who

prices, a panic was freely predicted
within the coming year.
There is very little if any reason for
such predictions, and positively no
grounds for fear of panic. 1t is true
that tobacco brought poor price, and
equally true that some of the farmers,
especially the tenant class, lost money
on their last years crop, but that is a
natural sequence of over production,
and condition of affairs which can be
improved by cutting down the acreage
this year. If tobacco does not bring
living prices, put your land in some
other crop, tobacco is not the only
thing Garrard county soil will produce
Try hemp, hemp brought good price
this year, probably due to the small
acreage. If you are not prepared and
do not care to raise hemp, then fall
back on the old reliable, the sslrest crop
of all, namely. corn.
Within the past few years corn has
been bringing good prices, and it is the
surest crop that can be planted in this
county.
1t is freely predicted that corn will
not go below $2.50 per barrel in this
county again; another advantage in
raising this crop is that you have a.
market for it right here at home. you
do not have to depend upon the repres-
entative of some trust to buy it, or else
haul it from ten to. twenty miles to
market.
Another advantage is that if the
prices offered do not please you, you
can feed it to hogs and get your money
out of it in that way. 1t is true that
the hog market is considerably demora-
Lied at present, or rather they are not
bringing the in fiated prices that they
did year ago, but they are still COM
handing more than nickel at home,
and it is well known that farmer can
get good price for his corn by feeding

now for good crops, farmers are well

What we now want is more work and

on politics and the political situation.
If a few of these politicians would go

by telling them what will happen if
they are not elected, there will be much
more prosperity, and the people will
quit thinking about hard times.

inquired Sands gravely. AS he stood
beside her, it was difficult to control
the impulse to pour out before her the
adoration he felt at sight of her new

more beautiful than when she was
moved by sympathy for the girl who

1t was a short dash for the auto up

that Sands obtained for Mrs. Mission
er permission to see the prisoner.
Elinor came around the corner of
the corridor with more animation in
her step than it had shown in many
a day. She had hardly been able to
believe her eyes on reading Mrs. Mis-

through the grating of her cell. Long
ago she had made up her mind that
the chain of circumstances, or perhaps
an enemy, had sown in her kind
friends mind suspicion that she was
guilty AS the days rolled on and she re-
ceived no word from Mrs. Missioner,
the conviction grew upon her. Even
this very day she had given up the
hope of rehabilitating herself in the
eyes of her employer. Not that it was
an employer she mourned in loss of
Mrs. Missioners confidence. The
rich widow was her friend; had been

after another, patiently repeating per-
sistent inquiries as to what had be-
come of the veteran curio dealer
Blank stares and equally blank an
swers were the result until Britt, in
tiny tobacco shop that was the center
of all the oldtimes places huddled to-
gether for protection against the en-
croachment of progress. unearthed q
memory incarnate in man, who.
Fitch said. might have been the twin
brother of the amateur alchemist
Yes" said the man. Il remember
him, and it's a funny thing TO me that
anybody who ever saw him could ever
forget him RE was the lueerest little
old duck ever ran across"
Britt thought if anyone could be
queerer than the ancient tobacconist
he would have to step out of page
OF Dickens
The incarnate memory recalled that
the curio dealer had been taken away
a week or. two before his shop was
foundation work of the great sky
scraper. No, he didn't go away He
was taken away.
Anything wrong with him." asked
Britt.
We'll. not exactly what you might
call wrong, so TO speak" quavered the
old tobacco merchant. II wouldn't
go so far as to say there was anything
you might exactly call wrong with
him. but neither would | undertake to
tell you that he was altogether what
you might call right" and he touched
his forehead significantly.
OH" said Britt, Wards or Ram
dalls?"
Huh" said the old tobacconist. Il
don't know what you mean"
Why" said the detective, what |
mean Is did they take him to the Asy-
lum or to the Workhouse?"
81 reckon it wouldn't have been any
use to take him to the Workhouse.
said the tobacco dealer, because, so
far as | know, he never done no work
In all his life, and he was too old
dog to learn the habit by that time.
No, guess they took him to the other
place; but what do you want to know
for? Are you missing heirs?"
Britt and Fitch laughed
NO" he said, my friend here just
wants to brush up an old acquaint-
ance." When the two had bought
enough cigars to recall family the
dreams of prosperity that had in
spired the old mans youth. they
strolled to the Twenty-third street
corner, where they jumped aboard a
crosstown car that took them to the
