Rain Starts Tobacco Moving.

The splendid rains of last week gave
great impetus to the handling of Garrard
countys enormous tobacco crop,
conservatively placed at between five
and six million pounds, probably coming
up to if not exceeding in size the largest
crop ever raised in the county. Many
farmers having small crops were enabled
to strip out and market their entire
crops, while others who were less
fortunate, or who had larger crops,
were enabled to bulk down" either all
of their crop, or a sufficient part of it to
keep them busy stripping until another
good season. The crops so far marketed
from this county have brought prices
ranging in average from III tO223 cents
per pound upon the various markets,
and it is firmly expected that the great
majority of the crop yet remaining in
the hands of the grower will exceed the
average as yet made. The crop this
year while being above the average
in quality is as general thing weighing
light, not making as much to the acre
as is usual. This fact is probably due
to the exceedingly dry fall. However,
lighter weight usually makes better
quality, and where the farmer loses in
the former he evens up on the latter.

MIR. ]. R. Mount For The Legislature.

Mr.. J. R. Mount announces in this
week his candidacy for the democratic
nomination to represent Garrard county
in the Kentucky legislature. Mr..
Mount is not wholly unacquainted with
the ropes at Frankfort. having served
one term in the lower house as a rep
resentative from the counties of
Trimble and Oldham. Since moving to
Garrard he has taken an active part in
the political life of the county, ever
being an answering supporter of the
democratic ticket, and during the re-
cent campaign he served as Chairman
of the local county Campaign Com
mittee and rendered splendid service
to the ticket, succeeding in throwing
Garrard county into the democratic
balance in presidential race, an event
not accomplished since the civil war.
Mr.. Mount is conversant with the
needs of the state, is we'll posted upon
the topics of the days, the needs and
wishes of the constituency of his coun-
ty, and if honored with the nomination
and election to the Office to which he
aspires, we feel that he would occupy
the position with honor to both him.
self and his constituency.

Bright Young Man.

Editor Green Clay Walker of the
Lancaster Record, has announced his
candidacy for the County Attorneyship
of Garrard county. Mr.. Walker is
well and favorablv known to many peo-
pie in this city, having spent several
months in the office of the Q. & c..
Route several years ago. After leav-
ing this city he went to Louisville
where he took the law course from the
Louisville University among the high
est in his class. Mr.. Walker is an I'M
usually bright young man and one of
splendid business capacity and if the
people of that county give him the of
flee he seeks he will fill it to the salts
faction of all concerned and with credit
to himself. He has engaged the SER
vices of Mr.. r. l.. Elkin as business
manager of his paper in order that he
may give time to his race. -Danville

We Hope So.

Corporations from other states
representing enormous amount of
capital are busily engaged in acquiring
lighting and electric plants throughout
central Kentucky, Winchester's lighting
plant being their latest acquisition. and
the Courier Journal editorially predicts
that this probably means the construction
of more interurban lines in Kentucky.
We hope their argument may prove true,
and we also hope that Lancaster will
come in for one of the projected
interurban lines.
We have by no means abandoned the
hope for the proposed extension of the
line from Nicholasville, and We believe
that if the big dam across Dix river
ever becomes realty that not only will
this line be extended to Lancaster, but
! to other of the adjacent towns in this
locality, the power to be supplied by
immense power plant which will be
erected.
The farmers of the lower end of the
county are enthusiastically in favor of
the building of this proposed extension
as it would mean a great deal to them.
1t would enable them to market their
crops more easily opening up a
comparatively new market to them and
in consequence would mean the fostering
of new industries in that part of the
county. 1t would also enable them to
90 backward and forward to Lexington
and other places without the necessity
of long cold drive of twelve to fifteen
miles in order to catch train, and in
many other ways would prove of great
benefit to that community.

Robinson Boys Going South.

Messrs ]. Fleece and George d.
Robinson will leave within the next few
days for Georgia, taking with them a
car load of good mules. Their objective
point will be Cordele, where they have
established a large sales stable. They
will be gone several months and expect
to 90 there every winter. Another
brother Mr.. j. Y. Robinson is located
in Columbus Ca, where he is engaged
in the mule trade. These gentleman
are splendid judges of mules and every
winter they expect to gather together
several car loads of the Kentucky
product and dispose of them on the
Georgia market. We are glad to state
however, that they have no idea of
making Georgia their permanent home,
only going there during the mule season
in the winter months.

Christmas.

With Christmas near at hand the
holiday feeling already pervades the
air. The streets are crowded with
eager shoppers, the store windows are
ablaze with muti-colored toys to tempt
the little folks, and a general yule tide
feeling is evident everywhere. Already
the kiddies have commenced to speculate
as to chow many days Prof. Riley will
give, and are importuning big sister
for the loan of one of her stockings to
run in on ''old Santa.
Bountiful crops, good prices for farm
products and a general feeling of
prosperity indicates an unusually
Merry Christmas" for this year.

The Parcels Post.

The long talked of parcels post goes
into effect on the first day of January.
There is wide diversity of opinion as
to its effect, whether it will be good or
bad, each phase of the case having it's
champions. The effect upon this
immediate community is as yet
problematical, it is yet to be seen
whether or not our people will be ex-
tensive patrons of the new system of
mail-eXpress. One thing however is
certain about the institution of the
parcels post, that is that it will make
great inroads upon the business of the
Express companies, will force them to
meet their prices or surrender the
business, will enable the people who
are compelled to have small packages
of merchandise transported to and from
distance, to do so at a nominal cost.
Express companies are among the
most grasping and mercenary of all
corporations; they charge outrageous
prices and unlike the railroads they are
of no monetary value to the community
with which they do business. They
have no tangible property subject to
taxation outsids of the cities, and very
little there, their principle stock in trade
consisting of their messengers and
agents. They reap rich harvest from
their patrons and give nothing in return.
Upon the whole, while the parcel post
may appear to work an injury to some
in the way of bringing competition
closer to them, we beieve upon the
whole it will prove a good thing.

Let's Have Sidewalks.

There has been very laudable effort
made upon the part of the City Council
to have the citizens of the town to put
down sidewalks, and the council is now
in a shape to enforce their ordinace IN
this regard as any time. Of course it
is out of the question to think about
putting down concrete sidewalks until
the advent of spring, but let US have
them at that time. There are many
places in town. even on the public
square, where side walks are badly
needed, and the council will much more
praise than condemnation when they
enforce this ordinance to the letter.
