MISS FLORENCE CARTER DEAD
Bright Young Woman Breaths Last
After Long Illness

Death is at all times sad, but it is
peculiarly so when it comes to one
whose whole life is before her and
whose surroundings Sre happy and
who had so much to live for, as did
Miss Florence Carter, who passed
quietly from life unto death at nine
O'clock Monday night. She was the
only daughtr of Mr.. and Mrs. j. M.
Carter, of Stanford, and was the idol
of their home. Several years ago she
showed signs of failing health and In
the hope of warding off the erious
trouble, her parents took her west,
where she was thought to be SO much
improved that they brought her
home, hoping that she would soon he
well and strong again. Last sum-
mer her trouble again showed Itself
and she gradually grew weaker and
weaker until it was necessary for her
to take her bed which she seldom left.
There was never more patient
sufferer nor one more hopeful. Be-
lieving that she would be well be-
fore the flowers of Springtime came,
she made many plans for the future
&nL in each remembered her friends,
never forgetting those whom she low
ed. Miss Carter was an exceedingly
briught, pretty girl and very popular
with all who had the pleasure of
knowing her well. She was 26 years
of age and had for long time been
consistent member of the Christian
church. Here was beautiful Chris
tian life and one well worthy of en-
ulation. Hr parents, brother ana
friends are almost heart-broken ov-
er their loss, but in their grief they
have the consolation of knowing that
their loss is her eternal gain.
The funeral will be preached at the
home on Logan avenue at 1890
o'clock Wednesday morning by her
pastor, Rev. d. M. Walker, after
which the burial will take place in
Buffalo Springs cemetery.

HOW TO HANDLE

All records in Kentucky for the
season for high priced tobacco were
broken at the Peoples Tobacco

day morning when a basket cOnsign-
ed by George Marsie, of Garrard
county, brought so cents pound.
Marshes entire crop averaged $22.52
per hundred, which is also record
breaker. Many high averages were
made, and if there has ever been
any dubt about the Peoples House
being the best market in Kentucky it
was dispelled Monday morning. The
widest enthusiasm prevailed, the en-
thusiastic scenes being the first of
the character since two years ago
when the weed took a sudden up
ward jump.
Capt. C. C. Lucas, the gifted and
silver-tongued auctioneer, of North
Carolina, was in the best of shape,
and held the thrOng spellbound by
his magic efforts when the record
breaking prices were being realized.
The Peoples House is so thorough

the tobacco is shown to the best sell.
ing advantage, and Col. Dunn and
his experienced men know how to
place the weed to the best advan-
tage. These, with other exceptional
advantages, are largely responsible
for the satisfactory prices. To date
Danville has proven to be the third
largest tobacco market in the State.
and the best in securing high prices.
Bidding at the Peoples House was
spirited, and all baskets were eager
ly sought by the buyers. Every big
tobacco buying concern in the United
States and several foreign concerns
were represented.
Indications are favorable for big
sales all the rest of the week. Here
with are given some of the averages

MOUNTAIN MULES TOO SMALL
NJ. J. Farris, Jr., Unable to Buy Amy
for War, at London.

Maurice J. Farris, Jr., of Danville,
passed through Stanford late last
week en- route to London where he
went in an effort to buy some mules
for the English army. He was I'M
able to secure any, however, on &C
count of the lightness of the noun
tain hybrid. The specifications of
the contractors who are buying for
foreign governments calls for ami
male which weighed at least 1000
pounds. Out of about 200 mules
which were inspected and weighed
by Mr.. Farris at London last
Saturday, only about six came up to
the required weight, and the own
ers of these would consider no price
short of about $500 each for them.
which is so much in excess of the
amount which the buyers can afford
to pay for mules, that they could not
be considered. Mr.. Farris says that
he found a fine lot of light, wiry
mules on hand but was unable to
handle them.
Mr.. Farris and b. G.. Fox, of Dan
vile, are commissioned to buy mules
in this part of Kentucky for c. A.
Wright, of Columbia, Tenn, who is
an agent for Guynton & Harrington,
d firm that handles stock all over
the country and has the sole contract
to buy mules and horsese in Amer
lea for the English and French Gov
ernments. During the past few
months, Messrs. Farris and Fox have
bought something like $4,000 worth
of mules in this part of the country
and have put the much ready money
in circulation among the farmers.
