que,s given in Lancaster in many
days was the one given by the men,
bers Of the Chamber Of Commerce
Of Lancaster and Garrard County at
the Court House in Lancaster last

ing the Fiscal year from Jan. LIST. to

Of much convenience to the farmer
10 have this change, in as much as
the tobacco and corn are two Of the
best products that the farmers raise
and that there is hardly any market
for them until after the first Of the
year. He said that IL this change
could be brought about II would not

farmer, but also TO the merchant as
this is strictly n farming section and
II is impossible for anything TO be
done until the farmer first gets his
money for the products that he
grows. Mr.. Champ also mentioned
the fact that il would be easier on
the tenant who would be compelled
20 move the first Of the year and
either move all Of his products or
he would have TO make other mr.
rangements about going back TO his
old place in making arrangements
about marketing same.
