DESERVED TRIBUTE TO
GILBERT CRINSTEAD

The Winchester Sun had the
following about Gilbert Grin
stead, who died Monday night
which will be read with interest
by his host of friends here:
Mr.. Grinstead was born in
Madison county and was a son
of the late Rev. w. F. Grinstead,
Methodist minister, and one of
the strongest and most spiritual
members Of the Kentucky Con-
ference. For the past eight
years, Mr.. Grinstead has been on
the road as travelling salesman,
being employed for three years
by the Hodgkin Grocery Com
pany Of this city The last three
years he has represented the
Wandering Hardware Company
of Lexington. He has been con-
fined to his bed for the past year
during which time every thing
possible in medical aid was done
to restore his health. While he
realized that his illness was of a
very serious nature he never
gave up hopes of his final recov-
cry. To even his family and
closest friends who knew of his
courage, his fight against such
great odds was most unusual.
His appreciation for the thought
fulness of those who tried to
help him against the enemy Of us
all was the proofs of his genuine
and loving nature. He was pre-
pared, willing and ready to meet
his God. The only regret was
the parting from his loved ones.
He was member of the Win
chester Council of U. c. T. of this
city, who put into practice the
virtues of this order which he
loved so dearly.
Besides his wife, who was
formerly Miss Mossie Parrish, of
Richmond, he is survived by one
daughter, Miss Dorothy, his
mother, who was formerly Miss
Josie Baunstark, six sisters, Mrs.
! J. H. Turner, Nicholasville, Mrs.
J J. w. bryant, Mrs. Josie Walt
ers and Miss .Antionette Grin
stead of Stanford, Mr.. Will By
bee, Of Ashland, Mrs Randolph
Harris Lon Caster, and one
brother, Mr.. Fletcher Grinstead,
of Cincinnati, all of whom were
at his bedside when the end
/ came.

LOCAL HORSES FOR
MEXICAN CAVALRY
Kentucky Has A Horse Especial
ly Adapted To This Use Say
Mexican Purchasers

There is an extraordinary de-
mand by the Mexican govern
ment for cavalry horses and
thousands OF steeds are being
purchased from Kentucky and
adjoining states. For some time
there has been a steady exodus of
horses especially fitted for this
service to the southern border,
and there is noticeable increase
this week. Wednesday a small
shipment passed through the city
and as the railway conditions inn
prove, there will be greater ones.
since agents for the government
to the country to the south are
here, there and elsewhere, in an
effort to buy up the horses.
Kentucky will furnish big
percent of these horses, since
one Of the representatives of the
government stated while in Rich
mond Thursday that there was
peculiar style of horse to be
found here that was especially
desired by, it being small and
wiry," as he expressed it.
Besides at Richmond there will
be special efforts made at Lex
ington and other cities in this
section OF the state to buy up as
many horses as possible for this
service. The purchasers seem
to be well supplied with money
and they are not reluctant to-
wards paying the price for what
they want.

Edward Webber, a Cincinnati

COURT OF APPEALS
REVERSES DECISION
Important Procedure Dealing
With Assessment Controversy
In Richmond

The court of Appeals on Tuesday
reversed the Madison Circuit Court in
the case of of the city of Ricmond VS..
D.. B. Shackelford holding that Shack
elford must pay city taxes for the
year 1918 upon his assessment u
corrected by the Board of Supervisors
The Board had raised the lists of q
great many taxpayers in the city for
the year 1918, above the amounts al
which they had been listed by the tax
payers. Several citizens combined tc
resist payment of their tax on the in
creased assessment, claiming that by
reason of certain Irregularities in the
appointment and qualification of the
Board and their time meeting that
they were not legally constituted
Board, and had no legal authority to
add to the list of any tax payer.
The original Board of tax super
visors who were appointed by the
council for the year 1918, refused to
meet and discharge their duties it is
said and much trouble was experience
ed by the Council before they finally
found a board,who would consent to
discharge the duties of tax supervisors
it is claimed. The Board, as finally
selected did not meet until after the
time set for their meeting by law,
and after the taxes for that year were
due July 1st. However, the Court of
Appeals by its decision holds that
these Irregularities are not such as
will invalidate the appointment and
acts Of the Board
The case has been one Of intense in
terest owing to the number of citi-
zens involved and, has been hard
fought throughout. The decision
means that those who have either
withheld their taxes or failed under
protest, now lose out and must pay
up.
The case was first heard before
Hon. Stephen D. Parrish, sitting as
special Judge by agreement, owing to
the fact that Judge Shackelford was
disqualified to try the case against
his brother Judge Parrish dismissed
the city's petition, when the case was
heard before him, and this opinion of
the Appellate Court reverses that de-
cision. Hon. A. r. Burnam repre-
sented Mr.. Shackelford. and City At
to1ney, Joe P. Chenault, represented
the city.
Chief Justice Carroll delivered the
opinion of the Appellate Court.

HIGHEST TOBACCO
PRICE PAID HERE:
Richmond Leads All Cities In
This Particular-Immense
Crop Reported

The highest average price paid for
hurley tobacco by any market in the
Kentucky district, comprising forty
seven cities, was $46:45, paid at the
Richmond tobacco market where more
than eight million pounds were sold.
In round numbers, the statistics
show that for the season closing on
April 10th, there was a trife more
than 'sixty-three million pounds pro-
duced and sold in this state.
Maysville and Louisville were the
leaders in point of quantity sold,
twenty-one million pounds being re-
ported at Maysville and nineteen mil
lion pounds at Louisville Richmond
was at the front with little more
than eight million pounds, a record
breaker it is claimed while the in
crease in the southern and eastern
portions of the state show but a slight
increase over the production of last
year.
1t is believed that with the unusual
acreage contemplated for tobacco this
year next season will be productive of
some startling figures in this and
other localities. With warm weather,
the plants, it is said, which have been
held back will soon reach a normal
condition and relieve the growers of
the anxiety which they have felt,
owing to the inclemency of the wealth

OYME:NT man
GETS NO RECRUITS

A large majority of the young men
of the Richmond vicinity have a good
opinion of their prospects here and a
very fitting tribute to local conditions
was paid Tuesday when a representa-
tive of large machine company in a
northern city spent some time here in
terviewing capable young men but
left town without signing up a single
one. He gave the fowery side of the
proposition as he saw it, with me-
chanics making "big money, and
that they would be given promotions
every now and then and soon be in
charge of big number of men.
He did not state, however, that
there was more or less turmoil at the
present time in the ranks of the ma
chinists. In Cincinnati, the men have
already voted to go out on strike, in
order to demand the. recognition of
the union and an advance in wages,
This was not stated by the employ
ment agent. Neither was it stated by
him that there were rough roads
ahead for the average man going in
to machine shop to learn the trade
He will be confronted with living con-
ditions in the cities that will make his
wages which may seem large when he
gets them, to dwindle to naught wher
he has paid his bills. The season Of
riots and strikes is evidently fresh
in the minds of the average young
man here.

DISCUSS COUNTY
BASEBALL LEAGUE

Owing to the fact that there
are a number of excellent base
ball teams stationed throughout
the county, Madison county
baseball league is being discussed
whereby the national sport may
be enjoyed and in almost every
locality, during the summer
months. The promoters are
talking baseball-not for the
money end OF it, but for the
sport. There are number Of
smaller towns which have good
teams and many of the members
are known to be taking the mat
ter seriously. The intention
would be to furnish the sport, for
the sport, and not promote it for
financial gains.
There would be, in case the
league was formed, much terri
tory to draw from, there being
available teams at Waco, Irvine
kirksville, College Hill, Valley
View, and others.
The Waco high school base
ball team started the season with
a victory at the expense of the
Irvine team, the score being
to 8. The contest was an inter
esting one and witnessed by {
large number. The teams put
up a pretty good article of bal
