THE CLAY CITY
MARKET DAY
Saturday a Busy One
Saturday was one of the busi
t market days experienced since
they were launched last Febru
ary. More than one hundred
head of cattle were on the mar
ket and they sold readily and
well. Among the cattle sales we
caught the following:
().. K. Tutt 1(1 head of mixed
attle to Henry Wiseman and L.
S. Hamilton at 1J cents.
Shelt McKinney to Joe Klkin
2t cattle one and two years old at
I to G$ cents.
Edwin and W. C. Rose to Geo.
11. Williams 2t one and two year
old rteers at from i) to 5J cents
A number of horses changed
hand at the prevailing low
prices.
A number of mule colts were
on hand, but few sellers were
willing to take the low prices of.
t'ered, $30 and 13 each.
All the watermelons on the
market were sold.
The merchants, garages, bank
and uewspiper report a good day
for business.
- Stock pens are badly needed to
properly promote the stock sales,
as persous having only a few
head of hogs or cattle do not care
to hold them on the streets to
wait for buyers. This accommo
dation should be supplied at once
by persous interested in the sue
cess of market day.
The usual large crowd was
present.

Charlie Wright was given con
tract by the County Board of Ed
ucation for the building of the
two room school house at

Returning to One Room Schools
Faye'te county has fully tried
out the consolidated school the
ory, and found Itself in debt more
than 1100,000 after the trial. It
has quit the transportation busi
ness and contrives to return to
the walk-to-school plan and one
room schools. It seems that
every move to Improve the schools
since the editor was a boy, has
been backwards. At least the
schools of today are"uot as effi
cient as they were thirty yeais
ago, when an ordinary child did
learn more in the then five
months term, than they do now
in the much longer terms.

The Rev. W. S. Shearer, of
Fayette county, is conducting a
series of Baptist meetings at the
old Presbyterian church in. this

splendid sermons.

Overlands Down in Price
The excellent Overland auto
mobile has been reduced in price
from $5i0 to $323 f. o. b. Toledo.
This makes this machine as low
in price as any fully equipped
automobile on the market.

We extend our thanks to all
who so freely donated toward
the supper Saturday. It was very
encouraging to see such a large
crowd and are sorry we could not
serve aud do them all justice or
carry out our program. But if
all will kindly come back to our
next supper we will promise you
that we will have plenty to eat,
more room and better lights, so
we will prepare for alarge crowd.
We cleared 111. 52 and hope to
double the amount next time.
We have now a good school with
four good teachers and hope to be
able to have a full nine months'
school. To have that the people
of Clay City must help by these
suppers to put our schools in a
sauitary condition. To have the
proper seats according to the
children' age is very essential
for their growth aud health, as
most of their time during school
months, is spent at their desks.
