SWEET POTATOEs.-Dr. T. W. Will
Jams, of Townsville, sends us two
Burmuda potatoes which weigh five
pounds each. They may not be the
largest, for this season, but they would
furnish several square meals to sew
eral very hungry persons.
Mr.. Ben. Whitlock, of Longview,
KY, has sent US a white yam, which
weighed eight pounds when first dug.
Some Of our exchanges are Dragging
about receiving specimens weighing
more, but they cannot show any better
matured or of better flavor, of same
variety. Continue your favors, friends,
our cellar is ample to store them.
Mr.. John r. Martin presented us a
liberal sample of his crop of Red
Spanish and Missippi yellow yam, both
new varieties in this vicinity. He does
not bring his in to compete for size,
but when you desire good quality and
a good yield, he thinks his potato
equal to the best, or a little better.
When we have tested the different va
rieties we will report which we think
best. Now, if we had good, fat Pos
sum and owe would have rations
enough to run us for a while.

and two diplomas. Other companies
may have taken diplomas and medals,
but the Wheeler Il Wilson received
the highest award. The report of the

claim. This new honor is only rep

of these exhibitions it was awarded
the highest premium before competi-

TUE following items are taken from
the Bowling Green Democrat, of 18th
inst.
Considerable quantities of late to-
bacco, in order to save it from frost, was
necessarily cut too green in several To-
calities in the county, though the bulk
of the crop had reached maturity and
was saved without material damage.
Apples of an excellent quality and
in superabundant quantities are being
daily brought to the city from adjacent
orchards.
Mr.. William Hays, of this county,
was a soldier of the Revolution, who
died in 1851 and was buried on the
north side of Barren river, ten miles
east of this city. He was 81 years of
age and had ten sons, all of whom he
survived except one. Not far from his
grave reposs the remains of William
Manner, who served Ave years With

died in 1911, and who was the grand
father of our respected fellow citizen
