= His encomiums passed upon the 90
= LEAF were 10 less gratifying to us tn
was the evidence he-left with us OF his
:, probation of the paper.
To give some idea of the quality of sol
:. of the tobacco now being cured in this s.
i ton, one farmer has cured five barns OF
i, very large crop he has. and neighbor
, his said he did not think it would bring
10 dollars a barn. An experienced toba'
a buyer who has looked at some Of it says
would not take the job of havipgat ST
ped out for it. OF course the entire crol
i" not like this, we are glad to say.
-. The Excelsior Springs Banner says WI
~ is the only true remedy for trouble
% misfortune hits you hitsomething else ha
No. work away at something with W
There's nothing like good solid, eXha1
ing work, to cure trouble. If you have
'o with losses, you don't want to lie awt
- and think about them; you want slice
- calm, sound sleep-and eat your din
- with an appetite. But you can't un
i you work.
Mr. Amos Edwards tells us of the
tobacco leaf. While walking through
W. l. G. ROwland's tobacco field, near to
~ a few days ago his attention vas strucl
- an extra large stalk close by. Upon c
examination he found it to contain
W leaves and to measure feet high when
top leaf was stretched upward. One
was exactly 3 feet long and % inches W
III" TIE plant is in healthy condition an
me yet growing vigorously.
I, : Mr.. Geo. II. Rowland showed US sc
- thing of a curiosity few day ago 1t
- a small lightwOod splinter which he
has been in his flesh 46 years. While
ing to catch pig confined in q pen the
''> after he married he stuck a splinter in
' W. arm just above the wrist and part of it
49, remained there until recently when it C
., out. \ small piece worked out aboI
, month ago and few weeks later anO
and larger piece came out near the 5
place. The only trouble it has given
lvh- IN all these years was to cause the VIZ
MI to itch occasionally he says.
