The court house will probably
be pretty we'll filled with people
Monday, for both the republicans
and democrats have speakers here
that afternoon. The republicans
will have the county court room
below and the democrats the cir

For the latter, Hon. w. w.
Davies and Mrs. John L. Wood
bury, of Louisville, will speak,
while Congressman King Swope
and Mrs. John w. Langley will
speak to the republicans.
Mr.. Davies is one of the best
known attorneys of Louisville and
is making some splendid speeches
for the Democratic ticket. He is
the man who cate up" Judge Kerr
of Lexington, in their joint debate
on the League of Nations at Will
Jamestown a few weeks ago.
The democratic speaking begins
at l 80 o'clock. The Daily Reg
lister has not been advised what
hour the republicans begin.

STEER SHIPMENT

T. c. McCown and Waller Chenault
together with T. D. Chenault, who
sold their cattle some time ago to
Monte Fox and Company, represent
ing Armour & Company, have sent
away two shipments of the stock, said
to be about the finest ever leaving the
county. The steers averaged LAO
pounds and were in prime condition.
The first shipment was of 60 and the
last of 20 steers.
There have been a number of small
er shipments from Madison county
recently and the fall market prices
are generally better than usual.
This, it is said, is owing to the fact
that many of the shipments out of
this county represent some of the fin
est beef cattle to be found on the
Americas market today.
