Horse Traders Meet.

Down in Wayne county this week

being held. 1t has attracted state
wide attention, and the Kentucky
negotiators in equines will also be

Time was when picnies, Fourth
of July celebrations, fairs, in fact
all public gatherings, were infested
with horse traders. And a motley
crowd 1T was. There was old Prince
with the ringbone, Dan with the
heaves, Doc with the spavins; aud
every affection that could annoy a
horse was represented there in the
flesh. Those old skates we're barter
ed as If they we're 30 much merchan-
disc. 1t msttered not if iD bis prime
that horse had made the living and
kept the family, sentiment Was
thrown TO the winds when swap.
PIN time came. Exchanges were fast
and furious and transfers were made
IN record breaking time.
But then the legislature interfered
and banned such meetings in a mile
of a town. Tina: sort O. put a suppress
sion on the traffic for a time; but it
broke out in spots aud still held It's
fascination.
But it remained for Wayne county
TO resurrect the old practice in honor
and glory. We should Ire TO visit
