Lexington, March 2.-"Court
day" a century old institution in
Kentucky, has suffered n painful!
jolt here. The circuit court
through an abatement order has
taken away from it"Cheapside,"
public square in the center OF the
business district, where farmers
and traders from miles around
gathered in numbers on the Sec
ond Monday in each month to
swap horses and to trade anything
from harness to homes. And now,
for the first time in more than 100
years, they are not permitted to
meet in the historic old square, of
late years within the sight of the
town clock in the court house
tower, but have been shunted to
another and less desirable street.
The farmers say. however. they
will not submit tamely to what
they regard as an invasion OF their
rights and indicate they will carry
the case to the Kentucky court Of
appeals The lower court said
they made it a nuisance, at once
unsanitary and unsightly.
