Adopts Cash System

Hardwick & Co., of Stanton,
one of the leading general mer.
chandise establishments of the
county, have adopted the cash
system of doing business. This
means the saving of many dollars
for their customers who pay their
accounts, and decidedly less wor-

There is said to have been S40,-
600, 900 worth of whiskey in Lou
isville left unsold when the dry
law took effect July 1st. The
owners of unsold liquor every
where are asking Congress for
special relief. We guess the
value is reckoned at the war
price which is four times what it
cost, and enough has already
teen made by the advance in
price after it was stopped from
being made to reimburse every
loss on account of any being left
over. Besides none would have
been left over if il had been sold
at only fair profit over cost of
manufacture. But the drinkers
are better off because their mon.
ey bought less Of it. The Times
suggests that this left over liquor
be reduced to denatured alcohol
and turned over to the temper.

Assessments Are Due

Your assessment is due for
next years tax. July lst is the
date of invoice of property in.
stead of Sept. lst as in former
years. The law requires the
property holder to go to the coun.
ty seat 10 give in his property.
This is quite small job for many
of us to have to go so far to do,
but the law is mandatory and a
heavy penalty is imposed for
failure TO obey.

The fields are full of black Der.

This fruit is being sold in town

PROFIT TAKING rs
y BEARISH FOR CORN

Chicago, Feb. 14-Proft taking
by holders brought about down
turns today in the corn market.
Some of the traders who yesterday
we're conspicuous on the bull side
became sellers. Reports that ad-
vances had increased consignment
notices from the country tended
also to weaken values. Opening
prices, which ranged from "a of
TO 12c gain with May 122A to
1.23A and July 1.19 to 1908 were
followed by a material setback all
around.
Although prices 1uctuated rap
idly, the general trend continued
bearish throughout the session.
Frices closed nervous, 11zc to 31sc
net lower with May 1904 to 1909
and July III to 1.17B.
Oats declined with corn. Pit
traders were mostly on the selling
side. After opening unchanged to
Esc higher, with May 605sc TO Sic,
the market underwent a pronounc-
ed sag.
Provisions quickly jumped to the
maximum limit. Shorts were the
chief buyers.
