A Bold Robbery.

An express train on the Chicago A&
Alton railroad was stopped and robbed
by twelve masked men on the 9TH, four
teen miles east of Kansas City. The
robbers knocked down the express
messenger two or three times and prob
ably killed him. They didn't get much
money, but relieved the passengers of
what money and valuables they had
Three of the robbers have been captur-
ed. L. Foote, the engineer, gives the
following account of it:
Between three and four miles east of
Independence is a deep cut, over which
the Missouri Pacific track crosses the
Chicago & Alton, and it was just before
entering the deepest part of this cut that
l saw pileoi stones, probably five feet
high, on the top of which was q stick to
which was attached red rag, and be-
hind the whole stood the leader of the
robbers. OF course 1 stopped. 1 was
then approached by four OF the gang be-
sides the leader, who said: Step down
off that engine, and do as 1 tell you, or
l will kill you.' He told me to get a
coal pick, which l did after some par
leying, but as a revolver was pointed at
my head, | could not refuse to obey
They then marched me and John Stead
ing, the fireman, to the express car and
told me to break the door down, which
did. Messenger Fox had hidden in the
weeds by the roadside, but they swore
they would kill me IL he did not come
out. So called for him and he entered
the car with two of the robbers, who
forced him to open the safe and pour its
contents into a sack. They were disap-
pointed in not getting more booty, and
knocked Fox down twice with the butt
end OF navy revolver, cutting his head
in fearful manner. They then march
ed US to the coaches, where they kept
US covered with revolvers, while they
robbed the passengers.
"After they had gone through the last
car they marched us back to the engine,
when the leader said: Now get back
there. Ne will remove the stones. You
| have been a bully boy. and here is a lit
| tie present for you, anu he handed me
two silver dollars. / told them / would
remove the obstruction and the entire
gang skipped up over the embankment
and were out OF sight in twinkling.-
In going through the passengers, each
one was made to hold up his hands, and
what was taken from them was put into
two-bushel sack, which was nearly
full OF watches, money and other valu
ables. They didn't take anything from
me-"

IN MEMORIAM.

MRS. ANN s. Bowers, wife OF Capt.
Geo. Bowers, died at the residence of her
daughter, Mrs. E. A. Butler, near Elk
ton, August Goth, 1881. Mrs. Bowers
was born in Caswell county, N. c., Feb.
9, 1902, and came to Giles county with
her fathers family, Capt. William A
Brooks,) when in her 9th year, and
spent almost her entire life within. a few
miles of the old homestead. She leaves
two children, Mrs. j. G. Butler and Mrs.
A. J. Reeves, of family of six, all OF
whom lived to be grown and married
but have all except two preceded her to
the grave. She was a lady of the old
school, and as true as woman ever born.
Through all the trials which man has TO
pass in long and eventful life, she was
never known to break down, falter or
murmur; but was ever Watchtul, ever
true, and pushed forward to meet every
duty and to avert as tar as possible ev-
cry calamity. She possessed nerve
equaled by few OF her sex-true as steel
and as pure as refined gold. A warm
friend, All affectioDale mother and de-
voted wife between whom no barrier
could be thrown For long number OF
years she had been an upright and con-
sistent member of the Presby terien
church, and died with mistaken faith in
the Master. From the first she seemed
To realize that her time was near at
hand, and that she WAS then on her last
bed OF sickness, but expressed herself
perfectly reSdy and willing to- go, and
mad but one regret, and that was, leav-
ing her OLD and faithful companion,
who is now rapidly approaching the
river shore. A few days before she died
she called her two daughters and grand
children about her and told them that
she was going away, she could never be
of further service here, and that they
must take care Of their ather and grand
father while he stay ed among them; but
she had an abiding faith that he would
soon join her on the other side of the
river.
Capt. Bowers and his wife were mar
ried Feb. 8, 1921, sixty and a hall years
ago.
A large number of relatives and
friends followed the remains to their
last resting place.
Peace to the departed and comfort to

BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE, STATS
TICS, MIHKs AND IMMIGRATION, NASH
WILLIE, TkNN., Sept. 12.-In view OF the
drought of the past summer, which has
prevailed with greater or less intensity
not only in Tennessee but throughout
the great corn belt OF the Union, IL is
now evident that there will be a search
ty OF corn for the ensuing year, and
that it will rule high in the markets.
In view of the scarcity and consequent
high price of this staple | suggest to
farmers in Tennessee that they adopt
every reasonable economy in its use,
that every particle of provender which
can be made as a substitute for corn be
saved, that all surplus stock which can
he put in marketable condition and sold
without sacrifice be disposed Of. Keep
no more through the winter than is
necessary for your next years bust
ness. During the comparative leisure
of the autumn prepare comfortable win
ter quarters for all the stock which il
may be necessary to keep over. Sow
full crops of rye, which viii yield valu-
able pasturage during the winter
months and make good returns as q
grain crop, or serve good purpose as q
fertilizer IL plowed under In the spring
Barley will answer the same purpose
for pasturage and Is perhaps more prof.
table as 4 grain crop Alter thorough
preparation Of your land sow wheat rs
largely as practicable. IL will give pas
turage for winter and bread for sum-
mer.
The partial failure of the corn crop
furnishes no occasion for panic. 1t, OF
course, curtails the profits of the farm
er and produces a general inconvenience,
but II the dictates OF prudence prevail,
need occasion no great loss or suffering
in the country. II il should lead the
farmers OF Tennessee to adopt a differ
ent system of agriculture IL may, AZ
ter the immediate hardship Is over,
prove a blessing in disguise
