CIRCUS DAY WITH
 CIRCUS WEATHER
Sparks Wild Animal Show Performs In This City This Afternoon
 and Evening.
and Evenin,

Contrary to tradition and the GUS tom of all circuses, the street parade of the Sparks Wild Animal show, which makes it's initial bow here to- day, began on schedule time. The parade wound it's way through the city streets between 10 and Il o'clock, but inasmuch as hundreds of people had waited from 10 o'clock until noon for the parade of yesterday they likewise expected another delay today. Con- sequently the crowd along the line of march was not as large as it ord1n- arily would have been. The parade was a good one and worth witnessing. The horses were well groomed, the wagons brilliantly painted and the costumes of the riders refreshingly clean. Two steam caliopes livened up the parade and several elephants, holding to each others tails, amused the little ones while the two camels. reputed to go eight days without a drink. caused many whose throat was somewhat Darched to abruptly seek the nearest resort equipped with the conventional brass rail, etc.
 This circus, judging from the size of the parade, is somewhat larger than the other one that has already exhibited here. The performance takes place at the grounds on Shuttle Meadow avenue near old Rentscheler's park and the attendance this after noon was such as to indicate a big crowd this evening.
 The animal acts are all clever ones, the baseball playing elephants being a feature. Two slack wire artists perform high above the ring and TIil- lairy Lont astounds his audience by sliding down a long chute and then leaping a gap standing on his head

LEXINGTON TOBACCO siLEs OPEN

Lexington, KY, December Flavor
able weather, which preceded for n
week the opening yesterday of the
Lexington loose leaf tobacco market,
caused big increase in the number of
pounds on the market and the average
price paid over that at the opening
sales last year. With the sales block
ca at o'clock. closing time, total of
231,795 pounds had been disposed of,
at an average price Of $685. hun
dred pounds. Last year total of 49,
1876 pounds we're sold for an average
price of 1906 hundred pounds.
The dominant feature, however, of
the days sales, was the extremely
high price paid for the lowest grades
of tobacco offered. The lowest price
any basket brought was s7.75 a hun
dred pounds, and this price was paid
for but one basket There were prob
ably not more than fifty baskets that
sold for under $40 hundred pounds .

Mr.. GEORGE FLANAGAN
Who Was Seriously Injured In Run.
away Accident mt Blue Licks on
September IL Died mt His
Home Near Mayslick
This Morning.

Mr.. George Flanagan died at his
home on the Apperson Pike near Mays
lick this morning at o'clock Of in
juries sustained when his horse ran
away with him on September II.
On the date mentioned Mr.. Flanagan
together with another man was riding
along the road near Blue Lick Springs
when his horse scared. Both men
were thrown from the buggy and Mr.
Flanagan sustained a fractured skull
and several other minor injuries. He
was removed to Haywood Hospital in
this city and his condition thought to
be critical but he later recovered
enough to be removed to his home
niear Mayslick, For a time it was
thought that he would recover from
the effects of the injuries but he later
grew worse.
Mr.. George Flanaean was born in
this county in 1854 and was 81 years OF
age at the time of his death. He lived
all of his life in this county, being a
farmer. He married Miss Mary Full
ton. He was one of the most promi-
nent farmers in the county and was re-
speeted everywhere. Mr.. Flanagan was
devout member of the Catholic
Church. He was always ready to help
his neighbors and was In return hon
ored and respected by them.
He leaves his wife and three daugh-
tiers, Misses Anna, Katherine and Mar
garet Flanagan. He leaves two broth
ers, Messrs. John and Con Flanagan OF
this city, two sisters, Mrs. John Poohey
Of Paris, KY, and Mrs. viii Tierney
OF the county.
The funeral will be held from the
st. Rose of Lima Church at Mayslick
on Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Bur-
ial will be made in the Washington
Cemetery.

TOBACCO SEASON
OF 1916-17 Opens In Maysvllle on Next
Tuesday-Great Season Uromised
With Good Prices.

The opening OF the tobacco season of
1867 will open in Maysville on next
Tuesday morning at o'clock. The
place of the opening sales has not
been announced as yet. All arrange
ments have been made for the opening
of the market and It is expected that a
large amount of the weed Gill be
brought here this week by the grow
ers in this section so as TO take ad-
vantage of the opening prices and to
get some Christmas money.
While no official announcement has
been made to indicate the prices that
will be paid this year, yet the general
belief is that higher prices will prevail
than formerly, partly due to the fir
eign demand and partly to the upward
trend of prices in all other products.
The crop this year Is an unusually
large one and although not until recet-
ly has their been opportunity to do
much stripping, yet the farmers have
taken advantage of their opportunities
and the first of the week will show the
tobacco wagons rolling in Maysville by
the score.
From reports received of tobacco
sold In this and surrounding counties,
judgment can be made Of the prices
for the season. For crops that have
been housed we find that buyers are
offering from 10 to 16 cents, very few
going over these prices. Compared
with prices of year ago, these are
from 20 to 25 per cent better.
The facilities for the handling of
tobacco will be greatly increased this
year. With one new warehouse, there
is ample room to take care of all the
tobacco that comes into the city, and
all can be placed under shelter at
once. None of the old houses have en-
larged their floor space but they have
made various improvements to add to
the ease of handling the weed as soon
as possible.
The redrying facilities In this city
have always been very great. The buy
ers are enabled to handle the tobacco
quickly and this will tend to increase
the sales here. The growers wish to
have their crop handled as quickly as
possibly and to bring the best prices
If the redrying plants have more to-
bacco on hand than they can take care
of the tendency will be to stop buying
and tobacco will then bring lower
prices. This condition will not exist
in Maysville.
The growers realize the benefit of
selling their crops on the markets
where the leading buying companies
maintain redrying plants. That this
means money in the pocket of the pro-
Queer Is self evident, as when tobacco
must be packed into hogsheads and
shipped into a rehandling plant, then
removed from the bogsheads, redried
and again packed, it is more expensive
for the purchaser than when 1t is
merely handled from the warehouse to
the redrying plant.
Maysville has the opportunity this
year of coming very close to Lexing-
ton as leading the state as loose
leaf market. She will undoubtedly
maintain her position as second.

WELL KNOWN HERE


In the following article the gentle
man mentioned is a brother-in-law of
Mr.. r. G. Bridges of this city, he hav-
ing married Miss Iva Bridges, a
daughter of the late Sam Bridges. The
article is taken from the Wellston,
Ohio, Sentinel and follows:
Once more II has been demonstrated
that In selecting men for positions of
responsibility, Jackson County's sons
rank among the foremost.
This has been evidenced from the
fact that effective November Ia, 1916.
w. e. Mullineaux, former Agent G. H.
& ID. railway at Wellston ana recently
Chief Clerk of the Pere Marquette at
Toledo has been appointed agent Of the
p M at that place.
II is doubtful that a more popular
courteous and efficient agen ever
worked for any railroad than BILLY
Mullineaux and there was genuine re-
greet when the consolidation of the B,
& o. s. w. and the c. II & d. offices
at Wellston caused his transfer to 9TH
er duties.
After he left Wellston he accepted
a position with Mr.. p. e. Cain, formerly
Superintendent of the Wellston division
c. H. & ID. who is presumed was quick
to recognize Mr.. Mullineaux's excep-
tional ability as an agent. His recent
promotion proves that his friend esti-
nation of his ability was based on this
fact.
The agency at Toledo Is one Of the
biggest railroad propositions in the
State Of Ohio and we confidently pre-
dict that 1t is not too big for Genial
Billy" and his many friends Join in
wishing him unlimited, success his
new undertaking.
