tenants are both anxious to grow a
great crop of the weed this year. and
all available tobacco ground will be

strong and plenty of buyers. Mules
were also high selling readily at $3.50
per head.
Stockholders of the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders Association
held the annual meeting in Lexington
Tuesday and reelected the old officers
for the ensuing year. They passed q
resolution resuming the three in five

turity. A resolution for prohibiting
the starting of yearlings for stand ard
records failed.
"A special from Maysville says
farmers of Mason county predict that
stock feed will be much higher the
coming spring than was counted on
last fall. The rains and high waters
have washed away thousands of shocks
Of fodder. besides large quantities of
corn and some hay, which in many in
stances was the entire supply held by
many people.
1t now seems an assured fact that

sold but that the growers of this dis
trict will accept the price offered by

Would Perpetuate Road.

A concerted movement has been put
on foot to. secure an appropriation of
$500, 600 from the United tates Gov
eminent to be utilized in undermining
the hisoric sold Wilderness Road"
which was blazed through the pioneer
country in IT'S by Daniel Boone and
his intrepid followers. The Danyille
Commercial Club, the Middlesboro
Commercial Club and the Mt. Vernon
Club will join hands in the effort. The
original wilderness road extended from
the Tennessee border via Cumberland
Gap, Middlesboro, Mt. Vernon and
Dapville to Lexington. thence to Gin
cinnati and Frankfort and louisville.
The proposition is to rebuild the "Old
Wilderness Road and modernize it to
such degree as will prepare it for all
kinds 0f.traffic.s Much of the territory
is without railroad facilities and auto
mobile lines may be put into operation
thus giving the people an outlet that
is needed.
