Rain God Rules.
on Court Day

The court crowd Monday, owing
TO the exceeding inclemency of the
weather, was small.
Cattle on the market were vari-
ously estimated at from 1900 to
more than 1000 head. The condition
was good for this time of the year.
Trade was draggy, but when night
came on there were very few left
over. The Pieratt pens had an esti-
mated number of 500 cattle and the
evening came without any leftovers.
Among the purchasers at the Pie
raft pens we noted North Stapleton,
81 head of heifers, weight running
from $50 to 400 pounds, for which
he paid $4.25. A bunch of 800
pound steers brought $685. per hun
dred.
Heifers sold from three and one
half to five and one-half cents. Good
steers brought from four and one
half to six and one-half cents. Can
ners brought from one and one-half
to two cents.
At the Mt. Sterling stock yards
Mr.. Maze reported from 1000 to
1,5OO head in good condition and
they sold at prices ranging from
threesand one-half to six and three
fourth cents. The Mt. Sterling yards
also report four cars of mules, one
from Tennessee and three from Vir-
ginia. They sold well at prices
ranging from $75 to $125.
One car of ewes was held at SO
per head without a buyer.
Plug horses we're numerous, SELL
ing for SIS to $50, and many of
them were not worth their keep.
In these yards sales were slow, and
when night came -on there were left
in the pens about $50 head.
This is considered the worst Feb
ruary court in years, attributable in
the main TO the bad weather. Bust
ness all over the city was reported
much below an average, the three
lines in demand being evershoes,
gum coats and umbrellas. Farmers
were slow to talk, but the few who
gave expressions we're believers in
good times at the dawn. Large
acreage in all kinds of crops is the
prediction and paying prices for the
coming season are looked for.
Summing up this court day, we
saw every item, whether merchan-
disc and livestock. below normal.

Pneumonia Fatal
to I. A. Garrison

7. A. Garrison, aged 50 years,

cellent citizen. He is survived by
his wife and two sons, Lloyd and J.
B. Funeral service was conducted

ternoon at two O'Clock by Rev.
Clyde Darsie and after the church
service remains were taken charge
of by the Odd Fellows of which or
der he was a member and received
the orders burial rites. Burial
took place in Machpelah cemetery.
Mr.. Garrison was an affectionate
husband and indulgent, helpful
father, a citizen whose departure
will be keenly felt in his neighbor-
hood.

American Legion
Minstrel Next Week

Rehearsals are under way for the
'Dixie Capers of 1922" the big
minstrel revue given under the au-
spices of Montgomery Post, No. %,
of the American Legion.
A. J. Owens, of the Century Pro-
ducing Company, arrived in the city
last week and has gathered together
some of the leading talent and the
outlook is exceptionally fine. The
first part will consist of the time
honored circle. The end men are the
best that can be found anywhere and
their gags and songs are sure cure
for the blues.
The circle composed of thirty
sweet voiced Kentuckians bids fair
to surpass all previous shows in vol
ume and beauty. The after parts
consist of two big feature acts and
special vaudeville stunts.
One of the big features of the
show is the seven-piece orchestra
that will furnish the music.
Those taking part are: Messrs.
Ben Scott, Marvin Gay, Henry
Barnes, Stewart Mccormick, Joe
Keller, Neal Cox, Everett Igo, John
Mcnamara, Robert Payne, Byron
Wood, Conrad Richardson, James
Dunn, Willard Mcclure, Leonard
Payne, G.. B. Senff, Arch Prewitt,
Stanley Kerns, Tom Jones, Ratliff
Baird, Phil Hollearn, Ray Smith,
Clarence Williams, Earl King Senff,
Ray Brother, W. S. Stewart and

Cost Of the School
Bond Issue to You

For the. purpose of erecting new
school building the City Board Of
Education is asking the voters and
taxpayers Of the city to support a
$4,000 school bond issue.
There are two questions which
the average voter will ask when ap-
preached upon the subject Of bond
issue of any kind. These questions
are: First, 'Ts it needed7" and, sec
ond, 'What is the costq" The need
of additional school buildings has
already been explained in the press
of the city. The purpose Of this ar
ticle is. to set forth the cost of the
school bond issue, in actual dollars
and cents, to each and every indi-
vidual taxpayer Of the city as nearly
as it is possible to do so.
The school board proposes to have
issued and offer for sale a twenty
year serial bond for 100000 This
would mean that at the end Of every
year thereafter for a period Of
twenty years the sum Of $500, with
accrued interest, would be to pay.
And now let us figure, Mr.. Taxpay-
er, just how much Of that $500
you would be required to pay next
year.
In round numbers the taxable city
property Of Mt. Sterling is assessed
at $2,500,000. To increase the tax
rate 10 cents on the 800 worth of
taxable property would bring into
the treasury Of the board of educa-
ton the sum of $4,000 per year.
This $1,000 would be more than
enough to pay off one $1,000 bond
and the accrued interest. Therefore,
we can safely say that the tax rate
would not have to be increased more
than 10 cents on the 800 worth of
assessed taxable property Of the
city in order to pay the total $780,
900 bond issue.
And now, Mr.. Taxpayer, if your
taxable property is assessed at
81, 900, the school bond issue would
cost you only 81 next year. Or, if
your taxable property is assessed
at $4,000, your part of the school
bond Indebtedness for next year
would be SO. In other words, for
each assessed $1,000 worth of tax
able property which you possess,
you would be required to pay 81 on
the school bond issue.
So we trust that you will figure
out the actual cost of the school
bond issue to you; and then, if you
will carefully consider the crowded
of your city schools, and
the urgent need for more classrooms
we believe that you will say it is
well spent, and that you will
gladly support the school bond is

Reynolds Buyer Of
100000 Pounds

While no definite statement has
been given out at the office of the
Burnley Tobacco Growers Co-opera-
tive Association, it is generally
known in tobacco circles that the
association has sold 100000
pounds of its best tobacco to the R.
]. Reynolds Tobacco Company.
What is regarded as equivalent to
confirmation of the deal has been
the presence in Lexington of W. N.
Reynolds, president Of the company,
and E. T. Kirk, of Maysville, prom
inent in the company's organization.
1t is known that Mr.. Kirk was
called to Lexington Monday to con-
fer with Mr.. Reynolds, and it is
said that the deal for the purchase
of the 100000 pounds of tobacco
was closed then with James c.
Stone, president of the association,
and that the price paid was above
the figures of any of the independ-
emit loose leaf markets open since
December Is.
When asked to make a statement
in regard to the reported sale, Mr..
Stone declined to affirm or deny the
report. He said:
81 find some anxiety on the part
of the members of the association
over not making public just what to-
baccos have been sold and what
prices have been obtained for them.
l want to state clearly that any
member of the association can get
his information at any time he de-
sires il, but from business point of
view / feel confident that we cannot
get the best results by stating in de-
tail to the public just what we are
doing.
mo business Of any kind is sue
cesful when operated in that way,
and the only thing I have in view is
to give this association the best bus
mess management possible.
''Within the last few days we have
gotten our field service department
in operation, with Joseph Passon-
neau in charge of it, and one Of the
main duties in connection with this
is the issuing of a four
page bulletin twice a month, to be
sent directly to all members Of the
association to let them know just
what is being done.
eve have had a tremendous o.
ganization to whip into line, and it
has been no small undertaking TO
get this big machine to working so
smoothly. We are receiving and
grading tobacco now in fifty-four
different locations and in ninety
four receiving plants, and they are
all running smoothly and to the sat
Of the growers over the
entire territory.
~ want to say to every tobacco
grower, large OF small, who is
Of this association, that his
interest is being fully protected and

Mr.. Passonneau reported twenty
four additional contracts signed by

Those from out of town pres
emit to pay the last tribute of
respect were, Mr.. and Mrs. I.
B. Carr, Mrs. Sam Brooks, Mrs.
Sterling Graves, Mr.. and Mrs. John
A. Stevenson, Mrs. Henry Hall,
Mrs. Laura Hall and Mrs. Alice
Hostetter, of Lexington; and Mrs.
Mary Tucker Grigsby, Of Louisville.
The writer of this notice came to
Mt. Sterling March, 1876 and it was
about that time that we became ac-
quainted with Miss Eliza Mcgowan.
She was then a graduate Of Vassar
College, and justly bore the reputa-
ton Of being one of the brightest
young women of the college. As a
young woman she was popular and
fascinating and won friends wher-
ever she went. She was the daugh-
ter Of William c. and Carolyn Davis
Mcgowan. She was twice married,
her first husband being James An
derson, of this county by whom she
had. one heir, Mrs. d. B. Gwinn, of
Huntington, W. Va. Her second
husband was Robert Marshall, of
Fayette county by whom she had
five children, Mrs. Mary Boyd Der
rickson and two sons, William and
Garrett, of this county, who with
her husband survive her.
When Mrs. Marshall lost her first
husband she gave her attention to
her business, which consisted of a
large estate, and made a most capa-
bic business woman and continued
very much concerned about business
affairs until her last sickness.
Mrs. Marshall was a church wo-
man and was deeply interested in
all of the objects fostered by her
church. She was devout Episco-
palian and whenever the doors OF
her church were open she, when able
could be counted present. When
the Lord summoned her home it was
one of His brightest jewels and we
are here to bear testimony that she
was a woman of many noble traits,
that her life was one worthy of i'm
itation and she will be greatly miss
ed by neighbors, by friends and In
her home.
We can say of this good woman
as Byron described Sheridan:
"Fruits of a genial morn, and glor-
ious noon,
The deathless part of her who died
too SOON"
Mrs. Marshalps deeds, though
many, were free of boastings and
her charities were freely dispensed
and while in declining health for
the past few years it does seem that
death came too soon.
ssThe leaves of the oak and willow
shall fade,
Be scattered around, and together
be laid;
And the young and the old, and the
low and the high,
Shall moulder to dust, and together
shall lie."
Thus it shall ever be, a modest
soul wings ito fight to Him that
gave.

LOVE FOR ANOTHER
RULED WIFE IN
TRAGEDY

Mrs. Phil Breedlove, testifying late
yesterday afternoon in superior court in
defense of her husband, Phil Breedlove,
charged with killing Rex Samples Feb
ruary ), admitted she found it impos-
'sible to live without Sam ples after re-
peatedly promising her husband she
would try to forget him and lead new
life.
Mrs. Breedlove occupied the witness
stand the entire afternoon. She wore
q brown silk dress, sport shoes and q
natty pink hat. The two children,
Louise and Phil Jr., were not in the
court room yesterday as they have been
previously. The witness showed few
signs of emotion, as she answered the
questions of District Attorney Simon in
cross examination.
Court was not in session today be-
cause of inability of the defense to pro-
duce material witnesses from Los An
geles. Judge M. w. Conkling ordered
the jury to appear promptly at 9
O. 0'clock Monday morning. The trial
will conclude Tuesday evening it is be-
lieved by counsel for the state and pro-
secution.
Mrs. Breadlove testified she was I'M
happy at times during her marriage
since October, 1913. Her unhappiness,
she stated, was due primarily to her
husband S persistency that his brother
Ray live with the family. The time
came when she thought Phil thought
more of the brother than of her. She
said she left her husband last December
for 10 days while the family lived in
Los Angeles. AT this time she admitted
meeting Rex Samples through an intro
duction of a girl friend.
She also testified to daily letter
received from Samples while living at
Indio in Riverside county. The letters
were addressed to "Mrs. Jack Lewis. :"
One of the letters written by Mrs.
Breedlove and found in the trunk of the
deceased was read by District Attorney
Simons. The contents portrayed her
desire to be with him all the time.
