Took Advantage of
Bro. Eldridge.

The boys" gave Rev. w. NJ. Ell
bridge, of the Paint Lick Presbyterian
church, a few anxious minutes the
other day when the popular parson
sent little crop he had raised, over
the breaks. Plummer Kincaid, Of the
Taylor factory who came from around
Paint Lick, saw the minister eyeing
his crop rather carefully, so when the
sales reached it, Kincaid, stopped pro-
ceedings a second and made little
announcement. He said that the boys
all knew how these preachers have
the advantage of us ordinary mortals
in that they get up in their pulpits
every Sunday and lay out the rest
of us and we've got no Comeback in
the world, nor chance to catch even
with them" Mr.. Kincaid then said
the tobacco fellows usually come in
for a little more than their share of
the preachers attention and that he'd
never seen chance before to get ev-
en-, but here was one at last, and he
did not want the boys to overlook it.
He pointed to DIR, Eldridge's tobacco
and to DR.. Eldridge as one of the
preachers who ought to be taught a
lesson" and concluded by saying:
Boys, we've got him where we
want him; let's take his crop away
from him..
The boys all agreed and bidding be-
gan on the preachers crop, and for a
time nobody seemed to want it. Bid
ding dragged along around 8 or 8
cents, whereas other tobacco of the
same grade was bringing about 80
cents pound. just what the popular
preacher was thinking at that time,
has not yet been given to the press.
Suddenly, things changed however.
and the boys started going. When
the crop was finally sold, it had av-
eraged right around 40 cents a pound
and DR.. Eldridge who is said to be
something Of a practical joker him
self, evidently was willing to be made
the butt of the cleverjoke that the
tobacco boys put over on him for a
few moments.-Register, Daily.

Remarkable Averages

remark and flew to parts unknown
when he saw the tobacco sale at the
Peoples Tobacco Warehouse last Mon
day morning. Record breaking aver
ages came one after another and the
enthusiasm was the greatest the
writer has ever witnessed at any pub
lie sale Of loose leaf tobacco. The
buyers had on their bidding clothes
and were 'winking" SO fast at the
auctioneer. he could scarcely keep up
with the bids. Col. ]. NJ. Dunn was
right there boosting every crop, with
the perspiration oozing from his few
cred brow, eloquently appealing to
the buyers to go the limit. Being an
old Garrard County boy, Col. Dunn
looks well after the interests Of all
the Garrard crops and makes every
fellow glad that he has put his entire
crop into his hands to sell.
The largest floor average ever yet
made in Central Kentucky was made
by Col. Dunn last Monday, selling
nearly 100000 pounds for a grand
average of $4S.6S.
