ANOTHER HUNG Jury

After a trial, covering several
days, the jury in the w. 7. Fitz-
patrick inquiry, disagreed Satur-
day and Acting County Judge
A. A. Hazelrigg was compelled
to dismiss them. This is the
second trial of the case, the first
jury also being unable to reach
an agreement as to the fitness of
Mr.. Fitzpatrick to again handle
his large estate, which is now in
the hands of Mr.. A. Sid Hart, as
Committee. The case has again
been assigned for trial for Dec
ember, 18TH, and owing to the
prominence of the family and
parties interested, the outcome
will be watched with interest.

SPEAKS AT BANQUET

Mr.. Fred w. Bassett spoke at
the banquet of the U. c. t., held
at Winchester last Saturday
evening and the Winchester Sun
in commenting on his address
said: Next came genial, good
natured Fred Bassert, who has
scattered more smiles than any
other man living" His subject
was "Why I Like Winchester"
Mr.. Bassett in his Introductory
remarks related a bit of local his
Ntory and at the same time "grov-
Led one" on his good friend, the
Westminster. In the beginning
he said the town was named
Chester" but during its early
history one John E. Garner was
elected Mayor and the "Win"
was added to the cognomen. If
Mr.. Garner had been chosen for
another term the Chester would
have been dropped altogether, so
stated Mr.. Bassett.

fine MARKET
HERE MONDAY
Mt. Sterling Has The Best First
Sale Of Tobacco Held The
Present Year.

The first sale on the loose leaf
market in this city was held at
the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse
Monday morning and quite
large crowd of spectators were
present. Buyers from all the
principal manufacturers were on
hand. About 10000 pounds
were offered and reflections
amounted to very little. A gen.
eral average of $780, was secur-
ed which, we understand, is the
best first days average in the
state this year. Reds and low
grades were ? to 3 cents higher
than last year with fancy colory
stuff off about the same as re-
ported in the other markets. The
buyers reported that this market
was I to cents higher than the
market opened at Lexington with
low grades advancing. 1t is
claimed that Mt. Sterling had the
largest floor of tobacco for the
first sale that has yet been offer
ed. We give few of the sales:
A. B. Pieratt & Sons, 6I6o lbs,
averaged $I7.67.
Mcdonald & Curtis, 1885 lbs,
averaged $I8.o8.
Cox & Moss, $500 lbs, aver
aged $I4.88.
Hadden & Thompson, averag-
ed $I5.s5.
Coons & Fassett, 1910 lbs, av-
eraged SIS.
Steve Pieratt, averaged SIS.
d. c. Fox, averaged SI625.
Anderson & Adamson, 44o5
! lbs, averaged $3.50.
Clyde Turley, averaged $I6.o5.
Quite a number of small crops
ranging from $I2.75 to $40.
Mr.. Will Reed, of Carlisle, Sc
cured the largest amount of col
DRY grades and was strong bid
der on these lines.
The management is we'll pleas
ed with the sale and the farmers
seem satisfied with the manner
in which their tobacco is being
handled. Next sale will be held
Friday.
