mittee on several occasions to take him
out. He has only promised each time
to do so. We think that this is a good
law we have in regard to working our
prisoners but think it a farce the way
it is being run at present. We cannot
get him to stay with his hands, he is
working four hands when our commit
tee told him to work only three and
still has convicts laying in Jail. We
therefore recommend that this board
make a change in commissioner. That
this take effect on the day of
1915. Yours very truly,

Thereupon the Mayor read the fol-
lowing notice of his suspension of the
street commissioner, with the charges
therefor, as follows:

: four, instead of three hands, at one
: time.
That you have failed, refused ant
neglected to work upon the streets tn
city convicts, liable to such work undel
an ordinance of the city providing
therefor.
Also for the reason that you hav'

and supervision of the working of thu
streets, allowing hands to work thereon
without being present and supervising
them.
You are, further, notified that TIL
matter of your suspension will be inves
? tigated by the board at its next meet

PRICE OF
WEED is OFF
Reports from all Over the State Show
That the Prices are Lower Now
Than in Many Days.

Many complaints regarding the
prices obtained for their tobacco
were heard here the latter part of
last and the first Of this week, al
though the prices received here COM
pare favorably with the prices being
received elsewhere.
The rainy, damp weather has
caused the tobacco to remain in high
case and the quality offered here
Monday on the Farmers floor was
the worst floor of tobacco we have
ever seen this year.

Farmers House.

Monday sold $4,000 pounds for
a general average of $6.52. Prices
ranged from l to Is cents and the
market was way off-from 2 to 6
cents lower than in December. The
quality was inferior, is it true, but
there is no excuse for the ridiculous
ly low prices the manufacturers are
paying. Reflections were very light,
although from kicks registered it
was thought little Of the offerings
would be sold.

JANUARY COUNTY
COURT DAY
Cold, Snowy, SIeety, Damp Dark Day
Causes Crowd to be the Smallest
In Many Months.

Monday was county court day in
this city and owing to the bad
weather the smallest crowd in many
many months was on the streets.
There were about the same number
Of cheap horse traders as
usual but few good horses or mules
we're offered.
About 1000 cate on the market.
The quality was fair. Trade was
brisk and anything that was desir-
able found ready sale at good prices.
The best 700 to s00-pound steers
sold at from 81 to $735, yearlings
at cents. Heifers at from to 61a
cents, Gamers at 3 to 4 cents. The
day was nasty one, making it very
disagreeable for buyers at the pens.
1t was impossible for us to be at
the pens, 80 we have only few sales
to report.
SALES
Geo. Halsey sold 10 about 525-
pound yearling steers to Mr.. Falk-
ner, Of Powell county, at $41 per
head. Henry Lemaster sold 20
about 400-pound heifers to G. W.
Denton, Of Fayette county, at 500
per head. Sam Keeton sold 10 750-
pound steers at $7.35. M. c. Wilson
sold bunch Of 700-pound steers at
$40, and another bunch at 61s
cents. Sam Keeton sold 8 500 |
pound heifers to Mr.. Speth, Of |
Woodford county, at 61a cents.
Keeton also sold II nice 400 to 500
pound yearling steers at $50 per
head. Some nice young fat cows
were sold to local butchers at from |
$6cc55 20 $3.50.
Many other sales were made but
the bulk was sold by the head and it
is safe to say at higher prices
than those that were weighed. Pens
were about clean by night.
Horses and Mules.
There seemed to be more life in
horse trade than FOR several months.
E. r. Little sold road horse to
Mr.. Dick Wills at $4,000 and quite
a number sold at $125 and $3.50.
Some few mules sold but prices were
much lower than six months ago.
John Greenwade sold nice pair Of
'-year-old mare mules at $340, but
300 to $125 we're about the prices.
Z looks like that with no demand
rom the South and the foreign de-
nand for cheap mules say around
100, it will be some time before we
ave $500 to $500 pairs again.
