make the concession, and has informed
the manufacturers that they could
move West if they wish.

It is just as necessary to have everything
about the buildings arranged so as to
save steps, and save lifting, as to locate

do thu latter, but every farmer can

Is HE ELIGIBLE?

Since the organization of the
Truck Growers Association in the
county Mr.. ". Fl. Murphy has had
a hankering to become member of
the Association, but as it was not be-
ieved that he was much of horti-
culturist his eligibility was ques-
toned, so without making applica-
ton, he decided to experiment lit
tie to see if he could raise vegeta-
bles and demonstrate to the Associa-
ton that he would make a good
member, but not desiring to wait
for spring he commenced about the
latter part of September, and plant
ed and cultivated regular fall gar
den, but III getting his seed he
planted some spring radishes and
cultivating them according to his
own ideas, has achieved a success
with them that stamps him first
class truck-grower, and eminently
eligible to their association, but
these spring radishes, which usually
grow about the size of an ordinary
marble, have under his skillful
manipulation attained asize to which
any gardner would point with boast
fulness, but not so with Mr.. W. H.
Murphy. The half dozen that he
piled down Saturday in front of the
editor would perhaps have weighed
thirty pounds, but he modestly said
that he didn't bring them up to
boast of their size, or his success in
gardening, but merely as samples of
his initlatory efforts since Septem-
Der, and by further experiments and
a study of their cultivation in cou-
pie of years he might be able to
raise vegetables that the Truck
Growers Association would look
upon as worthy the efforts Of one
Of their members.

Not SO Bad as Reported.

Meagre details of a horrible tra6 e
dy were received here Saturday
morning from Chappell Hill, in
which it was related the wife of a
Poiander some four miles from
Chappell Hill had been raped and
murdered during the absence of her
husband Saturday morning, who re-
turned in time to find the corpse
still warm. With this information
the reporter started out with an
energy that must have done the
managers soul good, to learn the
further particulars of a horrible sen
sation, and when at last he succeed
ed in finding a man from there, the
story was shorn of all its tragic or
sensational features, the only foun-
dation for it being that the woman
did die during the absence of her
husband, but from natural causes.
Her name could not be learned.

ance of the members among the in

having been disposed of, the Chief
favored them with talk on their
duties, enjoining them to turn out
on the occasion of the reunion,
which they have decided to do, en-
Aphasizing their intention by making
pa a 50 fine to any member who
does not turn out on the occasion.

an elegant spread around which the
company gathered, and there Mr..
Abe Harrison offered toast to the
esChief of the BANNER Fire Depart
ment of this Progressive Age"

glassed filed up, III a graceful and

The banquet at the conclusion of

ntation for good work in protecting
the lives and property of the citi-
zens from the fire fiend.
