SEDUCTION SUIT.

A Jury in Circuit court here We'd
nesday adjudged Otis Reynolds gull
~ OF seduction under promise OF
marriage and sentenced him to not
less than three years nor more than
three years and a day in the peniten
tiary. The prosecuting witness was
Georgia Sharp, and both parties were
from the Pleasant Ridge country.
The child was born in February,
1915, but Immediately before its
birth Reynolds left the community
and went west, where he enlisted in
the army. Some time last spring
Sheriff Keown went to Texas where
Reynolds was stationed and brought
him here before the court where he
was put under bond for his appear
anCe when wanted for trial. The
case was an unusual one for its kind.
Miss Sharp swore that Reynolds had
seduced her under promise of mar
riage, and Reynolds admitted that
he and the girl had been sweethearts
and that he had caressed her but
denied his guilt of the crime charg-
ed. The unusual feature of the case
was that the defendant did not un-
dertake to impeach the woman's
character by charging improper re-
lations with other men as is almost
invariably done in such cases.
The girl was about twenty years
old when the child, which is now
nearly three years old, was born, and
Reynolds was a few years older. The
families of both the parties are
among the best in the community in
which they lived, and Reynolds had
been for some years school teach
or. There was not much evidence
introduced at the trial, and as one
party expressed it. "she swore 1t was
true and he swore II was not true but
the baby was there TO corroberate the
woman's testimony" Smith and
Kirk conducted the prosecution and
Barnes and Grove appeared for the
defense. We did not hear the argu-
ments in the case but ii is said that
both Commonwealth Attorney
Smith and Judge Barnes made strong
appeals to the jury.

THE FARM AGENT.

We have heard it said there is some
talk OF dispensing with the County
Agent next year. We do not want
to believe that the Fiscal Court will
seriously consider such action.
The labors of the County Farm
Agent, always useful, are just now
beginning to be fifty appreciated. The
county is required to bear only hall
OF the expense of the salary of this
useful official, and the money saved
would be mere tribe. The Farm
Agent is already saving the farmers
of the county many thousands of dol
lars annually by the introduction OF
modern methods OF farming and stock
raising, and besides is laying the
foundations for future agricultural
developments that are invaluable.
Unfortunately not enough of our
farmers have awaited themselves
of the useful services of the Agent,
but those who have, place high
value upon his services. III the
agent did no more than supervise the
cure and prevention of hog cholera
he would be worth many times his
hire to the farmers in these times OF
high pork prices. His introduction
of the soy beans, his encouragement
of the building of silos, his instruc-
ton in seeding clover, his introduc-
ton into the county of pure bred
stock and his organization of the
boys corn and pig clubs are services,
any one OF which alone would more
than justify the trifiing expense he
has been to the county. The Coun-
ty Farm Agents technical knowledge
OF farming and stock raising are at
the disposal OF the farmers and in
stead OF any talk of dispensing with
this very indispensable service let us
urge more of our farmers to take adj
vantage OF it. All the counties that
adjoin ours have County Farm
Agents, and let Ohio county not take
a step backward in so important a
matter

He was about eighty years old at the

THE TOBACCO TRADE.

The opening OF the tobacco sales
in Kentucky this year met the high
est prices ever paid for that product
in the history of the State. The
enormous demand for tobacco for
the great armies in the war fields OF
Europe has sent that product sky

iufuriated members Of the Boishevi-

mauder-n-chief OF the Russian arm

OF his refusal to request German

Krylenko follows
To-day entered Mohilev at the

The headquarters were surrounded

to the cause OF peace has fallen.
IL cannot be silent on the sad act

Dukhonin. Popular hatred surpass-
ed the limits OF reason, and in spite
" all attempts to save him he was
thrown out OF a railroad train at the
Mohilev station and killed. The flight
OF Gen. Kornilonr the day before the
fall Of headquarters was the cause of
the excess.

FINDS PREACHER
IN CHICKEN LOT

A widow lady of this town was hor-
rifed a few days ago to discover a
well known preacher chasing her
fowls in the chicken lot. OF course,
as the reader will expect. it was n
Methodist preacher, since their fond
ness for chicken is proverbial. The
Reverend gentleman came to Hart
ford only recently, but he had al
ready endeared himself to the people,
including the editors of this paper,
and the news of his visit to the wild
ow's chicken pen with apparent fell
onious intent was shocking blow to
his newly made friends. Perhaps
this joke is a cheap one, and We hope
it will not offend the good minister,
but tho joke is absolutely too rich
TO withhold from our readers. The
facts are that the minister, who only
recently came here has choice strain
OF chickens, and he thought there
were no others like them in town,
and when he saw, as he thought,
some OF them in his neighbours chick
en- lot. he very properly proceeded to
relieve her OF annoyance by attempt
ing to drive them home, but for the
point of the joke the widow had a
number of fowls like his own.

of the tobacco which would make it
necessary to pat it on sticks At
once.
The rrices offered were not up to
expectations OF the farmers, and there
were many reflections, and number
OF farmers took their tobacco back
to their barns. The top price for
hurley was $500 and the record for
pryor was s27.5O, but the farmers
thought the general average too low.
The American Tobacco Company took
most of the first days offerings.
The two houses receiving tobacco
in Hartford are paying prices that,
difference in cost of delivery consid-
cred. are about equal to those being
paid on the loose leaf floors in Ow-
ensboro. They have each received
nearly a hundred thousand pounds,
and so far as we have heard, have
given the farmers entire satisfac-
ton.
The worlds demand for tobacco is
undoubtedly large, and If the farm
ers believe that the prices now be-
ing offered them are not adequate.
we believe that they will only have to
hold their tobacco for a little while
to force a better price.
The tobacco pooled with the Amer
lean Cooperative Association here
ard the local pool at Narrows have
not yet been sold.
