Weather Clerk Gave Cold Re-
CeptiOn to Columbus
Team.
CLUB CAME THURSDAY NIGHT.
A Husky and Fine Looking
Bunch of Buckeye
Boys.

The Columbus, Ohio, baseball team
arrived here in force Thursday night
at $40, though several of them had
found their way to the city day or
two previous. and looked over the
park and arranged few prelimine-
ries. By request DR.. Frank Bassett,
President of the Kitty League, had
secured rooms and board for the
team at Hotel Latham.
After the new arrivals had par
taken of big and highly appreciat.
ed supper, they walked around the
hotel, admiring the beauty of the
lobby and expressing their great
surprise at finding so magnificent a
hostelry in Hopkinsville. and then
strolled out on the streets to see
something of the place that is to be
their home for three weeks. They
are nice looking bunch of fellows,
husky and keen-eyed, and are anx-
ious to begin practice for the conn
ing season. We hope the visitors
will be in good trim to go on the
contest diamond when the time ar
rives and that they may win out
when the season closes.
They probably expected to- see
bright sunshine, have their cheeks
famed by balmy southern breezes-
and hear the singing of the birds
when they reached" Hoptown," and
all that kind of stuff, but-well,
they'll get it before they leave US.
The weather clerk is master of the
situation and he chose to give the
Columbus boys a cold reception, the
mercury having dropped to an I'M
comfortable degree, though the yis7
itors had bright sunshine the day
after majority of them arrived.
They will get everything they hope
for in the weather line, and some
thing more. before the close of the
month. AS to treatment by others
than the weather clerk, they will
get nothing but the best.
In addition to President Schoen-
born, secretary Quinn and umpire
Bierhalter, the Columbus papers
sent down their correspondents, and
Hotel Latham is now entertaining a
Columbus family of 80. Here is the
list, taken from the hotel register:
Robert Reed, VIM McKinnow, C.

Tobacco Coming In From Every
Direction and Houses
Crowded.
RECORD FOR LOOSE FLOORS.
Half a Dozen Other Counties
Bring Their Tobacco
Here.

This week was one of the busiest
in tobacco circles. There seems to
be no let-np in deliveries and Cald-
well, Todd. Crittenden. Trigg. Lo.
gan, Muhlenberg and Lyon county
crops have been coming in on every
road leading into the city. The
handlers at the receiving doors are
as busy as ever unloading and TIE
stable men are taxed to the utmost
to take care of the teams. The
boarding houses are crowded, the
picture shows are resping a harvest
of dimes, the merchants are having
an immense business. while the
cashiers Of the banks are having all
they can do cashing checks.
Hopkinsville is now the market
for tobacco, and it is safe to say that
never in the history of the market
has there been as much loose tooac-
co in the warehouses as there is to-
day.
What does all this mean but that
the year 1913 will be record-break-
er for businessmen only in tobacco,
but every department of trade? A
healthy. steady growth. is the right
kind for city and that is what Hop
kinsville has enjoyed for many years.
Never was the outlook so rosy as to-
day.
Tuesday was not only Inaugural
sion day at Washington but here it
was record breaker in the way of
loose floor sales. Even after about
third Of a million pounds had
changed ownership on the floors,
after the auctioneer cried bids for
seven solid hours, when the buyers
had stood on their feet so long that
they could hardly walk, when the
clock in the tower of the fire depart
ment rang out five strokes of the
bell, the last sale had just started
The demand continued to manifest
itself and the prices maintained firm
figures.
Yes. Hopkinsville is the market,
not only for quick sales but for up
prices.
Thursday the highest prices. prob
ably, yet realized were paid for some
tobacco raised by A. P. Elgin. The
tobacco was of very superior grade.
was in excellent order and had been
handled with fine judgment. One
truck of this tobacco sold for SIPS
per hundred and another truck
brought $l2. Even truck of Tugs
sold for $40 per hundred. while the
poorest tobacco of the crop brought
81 per hundred.

BECAME A DISGRACE TO KIN
Scotch Coiiies Reverted to Wild State

Some years ago the shepherds of
Patagonia and Argentina imported a
large number Of Scotch Sollies into
those countries to help herd the sheep.
But imagination seemed to spoil the
companionable. affectionate and intel.

two or three years his entire nature
changed and he became independent,
snappish, sly and disobedieut. Bad
treatment may have had something
to do with it, but by twos and threes
:he collies rapidly deserted the flocks
and took to the woods. where they
soon became wild dogs.
They have increased so fast and
become so fierce in both countries
that not only do they carry off small
animals and fowls, but have grown
so bold that they do not hesitate to
attack travellers even In broad day.
light. They travel in packs. and when
hunted scatter to hiding places in
the rocks. The Patagouian and Ar.
gentine governments have offered
bounties for every wild dogs brush
and while the war of determination
may deplete both national treasures
the only effect 1t has had on the col
lies has been to make them keep &C
cover during the day. Every shep
herd goes armed and keeps n constant
lookout. but shooting has not de
creased their numbers. and poison has
been tried without success. as they
are too shrewd to eat anything SCI
