BAD WEATHER SPOILS
COURT DAY MONDAY
More Buyers Were Here Than Beeves
and Mules Were Scarce-P0li-
tics Warming a TrifIe

Very bad and wet weather spoil
ed the prospects for a corking good
court day here Monday. But not
withstanding the fact that it rained
hard nearly all day long, quite few
people came to town and most of
them were looking for something to
trade. There were about 300 cattle at
Nunnelley's stock yards, and the de-
lrand far exceeded the supply. Buy
ers were here from all over this and
-other counties. and what offerings
there were We're quickly gobbled up at
good prices. The fact that sufficient
notice could not be given to unlying
sections Of the country that the
quarantine had been declared off,
kept quite a lot of stock from get
ting to market here. is the opinion of
A. T. Nunnelley, proprietor of Stan
ford 5 famous stOckyards. Stanford
Is undoubtedly by far the best stock
market south of the Kentucky river,
and already Mr.. Nunnelley is max
ing preparations for a record break
ing influx of beeves and buyers next
court day. now that the lid is off and
the demand for stuff is so keen.
Mule buyers were here IN force
Monday also but unable to find much
that suitd them. b. G. Fox, of Dam
vile was looking for some aged n.y.
birds for the British and French
government, but was able to secure
only one pair. He is advertising for
aged mules i'm this issue of the 7. j.
and will have buyer here Thursday.
X. b. and j. III. Woods are looking
after the matter for him and want
all of the hybrids that they can get.
There Is a great demand for aged
mules from the scene of war. They
have been killed off so fast in the
fighting during the past several
months that nearly all of the coun-
tries engaged are looking to the
United STATES for both mules and
horses. In this connection, much in
terest has been aroused over Ken
lucky by the publication Of a story
IN the Lexington and other city pa
pers, that r. F. Carman, a noted
race horseman has been commission
ed to buy 10000 saddle mounts for
the French army in the Blue Grass |
country of Kentucky. There isn't the |
slightest doubt in the world but that
this war is going to make horse and |!
mule stock mighty valuable and
scarce during the coming year, as
well as everything else that the far
mer produces.
Charles Rose. of Winchester, was
here, looking for some yearlmg
mules, but like the others, he found !,
them mighty scarce articles.
As usual, there was considerable
politics heard on the streets here
Monday. Both candidates for Cir
cut judge were on hand and one can
dldate for Commonwealth AttOr-
ney. Judge Hardin came over from
Danville, where he is holding court, /
and was mighty busy with the glad
hand for the boys, and Hon. Charles
c. Fox drove over from DanvilIe /
with Ike Lanier, prominent and
young democrat Of Boyle,
whom he has selected for his Mas
ter Commissioner i'm Boyle county in
the event Of his election. Both of the
judicial candidates expressed them
selves as well pleased with their re-
ception by the voters here and salts
fled with the progress they are max
ing In the campaign. Lincoln county
is battle-ground in the judges race,
and both candidates say that they
expect big vote here. AS usual a
number Of interesting rumOrs were
with regard to the races and |
their various ramifications, and those
who love the game of politics had |
many luscious mOrsel to roll under
their tongues. Judge John Sam Ows-
ley, Lincoln county's candidate for
Commonwealth Attorney, had the
field to himself, and put in busy
day shaking hands with his friends,
and urging the democrats not to for
gei to 90 to the polls on primary day
and give him a big vote in his home
county.
Mat Cohen, was the only candi-
date for a state office, who was on
hand. He is after the Commissioner
Of Agriculture's place, and his friends
say that so far he is making a runa-
way race for that honor. Mr.. Cohen
Is perhaps the best known horse
man in Kentucky. He is very popu-
lar here and his friends are work.
ing hard to give him big majority
in this county. He was accompanied
here by his brother, John Cohen, Of
Danville.
