he wanted sherman within striking

THANKSGIVING SLAUGHTERING
- SEASON OPENED LAST FRIDAY

The season for slaughtering turkeys
began Friday, when Chas. S. Brent G
Bro, of this city, commenced to re-
ceive at their four shipping points
Paris, Carlisle, Nillersburg and Flem-
mgsburg. Buyers are radiating from
these four ceuters, and are eagerly
looking for the choice fockers, pay
ing fifteen cents per pound at the
pens at the several slaughtering
points.
The present season has been favor
able to the raising of turkeys and it
is estimated that the crop is about
twenty-five per cent. in excess of the
usual average, but as these birds do
not usually put on fat before the cold
weather, they are thought to be poor
at present and somewhat inferior in
quality.
The firm of Chas. S. Brent & Bro,
is one of the largest dealing in tur-
keys in Kentucky, and they annually
ship from the four points mentioned
total of from $4,000 to $4,000 birds.
They ship to the Eastern markets,
principally Boston and other New
England points.
The firm has a cold storage plant
at each of the four towns named
which makes them independent of the
weather, as the turkeys as soon as
dressed are placed in cold storage
and are shipped in refrigerator cars
! Between three and four hundred
persons are employed by this firm
during the slaughtering season, most
of time being "pickers," the picking
being done largely by women and
girls, and the pens where the work is
done are places of great activity dur
! ing the season which is short, gener
! ally about two weeks.
The disposition Of the feathers has
become an important feature in the
J business, being shipped to dealers in
New York and Cincinnati. The wing
and tail feathers are used in the man
ufacture of feather busters, and nc
doubt the other feathers are disguised
and used in millinery.
Usually the bulk of the turkey CROP
is slaughtered for the Thanksgiving
market, not more than one-third OF
less being held for the Christmas
market.

1t has been said of women that few
of them can resist anything having a
family resemblance to bargain, but
a young woman of independent means
living in the Northeast district has
reached the extremity of bargain
grabbing. Her habits along this line
have long been joke among those
who know her, and when she attended
her club meeting recently the others
began to twit her about it. 49,
But, l certainly found bargain

the play is doubtless due to the fact
that it's production has never been

have three days of Keith vaudeville

means that Lexington is to have the
same acts that are given in Cincin-

and the larger cities of the Central
West and South.
The bill this week is an exception
ally good one, three of the acts com

Too much cannot b said of Howard
and Lawrence in their little comedy
skit, "The Cigar Girl" Howard is
the recognized star trick pianist Of
the circuit and this talent is cleverly
introduced in his one act comedy.
Anna Diaz and her trained monkeys
will bring joy to the hearts of the
youngsters, whose favorites they are
wherever they appear. Some of their
antics are side-splitting.
Eva Shirley, the singing comedi-
enne, is well worth the price of admis,-
sion, introducing many new songs
that have been arranged for her.
Homer Miles aid company in their
comedy sketch, coming direct from
the Orpheum Theater at New Orleans
will please without a doubt, as their
sketch is entirely new and different
from the usual worn out vaudeville
sketch.
Willis and Hassen in their equilib-
