"Advice of our rciuirnicuts,"
said the buyers n the committee,
AND PREPARES TO PRIZE
"make known to us your price."
"The price is eight cents,"
the committee, ''the same fixed
by our members in magisterial district
meetings."
'We can't give eight cents," answered
the buyers.
"Then it is up to the Association
to ptize," responded the committee.
So much of the conference I have
chosen to report in dialntiuo form for
the s'ake of condensation vouching
for the ppntixl accuracy of the
same. Recognizing the limitations
of the powers of tho committee the
buyers made no bids,
' Is this, then, a finality?" Mem.
bers will ask.
.Members may judge for themselves
when 1 tell thorn the committee has
an appointment to meet tho buyers
in this city again next Tuesday
afternoon. From which it would
seem neither party regards tho conference
just closed as a finality.
It is only logical to conjecture tho
committeemen have gone home, each
to his sevpr.,1 counties, to learn if
numbers ai" of the suite mind and
resolution as to price as when the
Magisterial meetings worn held.
The committee is only concerned
to loyally carry out tho wishes of tho
members ouly desire to act in ac

the members.

ESCAPE.
Team aud Hack Plunge Into Muddy
Waters 0! a Swoien Stream.
II. F. Haminack, of Marion, Ky.,
travoling salesman for an Kvatmillc
Hardware house, and Ben Smith, a
driver for Willetl's stable of May-field,
had a harrowing escape from
being drowned Monday afternoon
near Backusburg following the heavy
rain ou that day.
Thoy were driving two horses to a
light drummer's hack and were
unable to cross a creek. A farmer,
realizing their predicament agreed
to pilot them through his field where
the stream was navigable. All went
well and they had crossed the water
and started up the embankment
when one of tho hordes balked,
the vohiclo to rull back into the
water. The team fell and sank in
tho deep wator and the hack was
cipsized throwing tho haggagn out-One
of the horses was rescued by
hard and faithful work while the
other animal could not be extricated
from the swift and muddy wators
and was drowned. Tho baggage
was saved oxnept a grip containing
two fine gold watches and other
valuablo articles, which was swept
away by the wators. Messrs
and Smith got soaking wet
and also had a close call from meeting
death in tho mannor of tho horse.
Tuesday the hack and dead horse
weio pulled out from tho creek, tho
waters having subsided sufficiently
to allow them to do so. Hamraaok
and Smith left Wednesday morning
to finish their trip.
