o'clock,

The Garrard county tobacco crop is
moving rapidly nowadays and is being
divided between the local market, the
loose leaf markets at Lexington, Dan
vile and Richmond, while some few
crops will be shipped to the Louisville
breaks. The present crop is bringing
from Z to 25 cents, according to quality
and condition.
About this time last year the Record
advised the farmers to exercise great
care in the handling of THAR crop, and
predicted that well handled crop
would bring a good price. This pre-
diction is being fulfilled every day, but
we are very sorry to say that there is
great deal of tobacco from this coun-
ty now bringing from to 10 cents,
which had it been properly handled
would have commanded twice that
price.
No man can successfully conduct a
business with which he is not thorough
ly conversant;t the raising of tobacco is a
business, and unless a farmer is tho
roughly conversant with the proper
methods of raising and handling it, he
cannot hope to make success of grow
ing it. 1t is of equally as much value
to farmer to have an expert tobacco
raiser in his service as it is for mer-
chant to have an expert clerk behind
his counter, or and able man in charge
of his books. The soil of Garrard
county produces as good hurley to-
bacco as that of any county in this or
any other state; the better crops COM
mand as much if not more than that of
other counties, The reason tor so
much of it bringing a low price is there
fore obvious; it is due to improper
handling, or in many cases careless
ness.
The time is rapidly approaching when
the farmer will be getting ready for
the crop of 1912, beds are burned in
February and March, and right then is
the time to begin to exercise the pro-
per care to secure a good crop. If you
contemplate raising crop and do not
understand the art of tobacco raising
thoroughly, it will be to your advant-
age to procure someone who does,
there are lots of expert raisers in the
county, many of whom have not as yet
made arrangements for the coming
crop, you will find in the end that the
increase in price which you will realize
will amply repay you for the extra ex-
pense involved.
There has been a hue and cry raised
every year for the past few years that
tobacco would be worth nothing this
year., but we have not seen yet, mol
do we believe that we will soon see the
time when tobacco. properly handled
fails to bring good price.

Why Not Beau6fy II Somewhat.

We suppose that the reason the Park
has been allowed to ''go to rack" so
badly was because it was thought that
it would be utilized as a site for the
Government building; be that as it may
however, for the past year it has been
a loafing place for the idle, a play
ground for the urchins and kennel for
all stray dogs, and has been so persist
emily used for these purposes that it is
hardly suitable for any other. Occupy
ing as it does the most prominent posi-
ton in the town, it naturally is the first
thing to attract the attention of a
stranger, either by its beauty or other
wise. Now that the probability of it
being used by the Government seems
to have gone a glimmering. it should
be made presentable; the iron fence
which surrounds it Strengthened up, the
benches placed in good repair, or repla-
eed with new ones, the trees trimmed
and the dead ones removed, the bare
places sOwn with grass seed and gen.
eral improvement made of the present
dilapidated appearance which it pres
ents. The question of title cuts no fig
ure in this matter, for whoever owns it
either town or county, are surely going
to leave it right where it now stands,
and are not going to use it for any pnr-
pose. so why not make it look a little
less like rubbish receptacle. If the
town does not choose to go to this ex-
pense, it should be done by private sub
scription. Surely for the pride of the
town, this matter is worthy of some

MR.. ALEXANDER c. DUNN.
Former Respected Citizen And Popular
Merchant Of Lancaster, Dies AT
His Home In DanyiIle.

The Danville Messenger contains the
following account of the death of Mr..
Alexander C. Dunn, which occurred in
Danville on January I'd. Mr.. Dunn was
born in and was long a resident of Lam
caster, and is well known to our older
citizens, he being merchant, and both
he and his estimable family greatly
loved and respected by our people,
after an illness confined him to his
bed for more than wear, Mr.. Alex c.
Dunn died, at his residence, on Lexing-
ton street, at eight o'clock, Tuesday
evening. Mr.. Dunn has been near
deaths door for some time, but his
wonderful vitality enabled him to cling
to life much longer than even his physi-
clan could hope for. He was in his
eight-second year. Mr.. Dunn was born
and spent most of his life in Laneas-
ter, where, as a citizen and leading
merchant, he won the respect of every
one. He moved from Lancaster to
Richmond, coming from the latter city
to Danville. He was considered one of
the best dry goods men in the state in
his day. and has sold thousands of dol
lars worth of goods in the three coun-
ties in which he resided. He was a
faithful member of the Baptist church
and devoted to every thing pertaining
to advancement of the Masters cause.
He is survived by his faithful wife,
and two children, Mrs. w. B. McMur-
ray, of INDIANAPOLIS, and Mrs. Harry
Simms, of Danville. Funeral services
were conducted at the residence, yes
terday afternoon, by DIR. Cecil ". Cook

Barns Burned In Garrard County, Suspic
ion Points To Their Having Been
Set Fire And Men Suspected
OF The Crime Are Be-
hind The Bars.

There has been several barns burned
in the eastern part of the county within
the last month and the officers have
been keeping the matter exceedingly
quiet and working upon a clew which
they hoped would lead to the capture
and conviction of the men suspected of
setting fire to the structures.
One night about three weeks ago
passers by discovered barn near the
home of Mr.. Jesse Simpson on fire, but
by quick work they succeeded in extin-
gushing the flames, scarcely was. this
done however, when a barn about 300
yards distant on Mr.. Simpsons place
was seen to be in flames and beyond
control, the latter barn together with
5000 pounds of tobacco was a total loss,
Mullikins blood hounds We're secured
and were on the scene early the next
morning, and furnished a clue which
led to the arrest of Luther Simpson
and Oetl ell East, two men of the neigh
borhood, charged with firing the struc-
lures of Mr.. Jesse Simpson. They
were brought to town and lodged in jail
and we have straight tip from County
Attorney j. E. Robinson, who has been
active in the efforts to bring the cul-
prits to justice, that East will make a
clean breast of the whole matter and
will implicate Luther Simpson; the lat
ter is now under indictment in the Gar
rard Circuit Court charged with fur
nishing tools and aiding prisoners to es-
cape from the county Jail. Two other
barns in that section of the county
were burned recently, one belonging to
John Simpson, which contained nothing
of much value, and which was insured
for $780,, the other belonging to Henry
Teater, in which there was several
head of stock, provender, farming i'm
plements and some tobacco. and which
was insured for $500. There is no clue
to the origin of the latter two fires.
There was never cause for, never
was any and we hope and believe there
will never be any might riding" in
Garrard county, and this incendiarism
is disgrace to a civilized community,
and the officers are determined that it
shall be stopped, and they are now on
the right track for the stamping out of
the atrocious practise. The tracing of
the crime to the door of the suspected
men was a neat bit of detective work,
and the officers are determined, if they
are found guilty, to administer to them
such dose as they deserve, and one
that will serve as warning to all such
characters in the future.
