VIM Kick Themselves.

A week from NEXT Saturday Ia the day on
which the $50 in gold was to have been Civ
en- to the farmer who raised the most corn on
one acre Of ground, but as Surveyor Schvab
informs rs that none have called his services
into use, Of course there will be none to con-
test for the prize. 1t is the old story of "be-
ing afraid to try" Many farmers talked
about and seriously considered the PROPOSE
tion rs set forth by Messrs. Saur & Balsley
but let the time slip by until it was too late.
With the announcement that none are in the
race many farmer who desired to compete
and failed TO so do for fear Of having his
trouble for nothing, will feel like kicking
himself, inasmuch as he might have been
the only one, and the $50 would have been
awarded him however poor his or ops might
have been.
The chief cause, however, was the poor
prospects for corn after the proposition was
made, the excessive rain aud bad weather
making the outlook very poor for any kind
of crop, and the result has shown that the
signs were right in their predictions.
As the object of the firm in Offering the
prize was to test Henry county's worth IA a
corn producing section, it is best that the
matter turned out as it did, for had it been
otherwise it would have been slightly humili-
ating to use the poor crops this year as a
criterion Of our soil. For the county's good
then, we say again, it is far better that the
end is as above indicated.

1t is amusing to see the extreme timidity
that takes hold of the bravest rs he applies
for license to enter that honorable estate

the applicant stops, shutters, chokes and

ic pause. He looks at the clerk and quickly
looks some where else in quest of knot
hole in which to hide his bashful self. He
articulates down his coat collar and ends it

Served i'm Right.

Van Vert people are tired of street fakes.
The other day one of those windy fellows
drove his buggy up to the public square and
after unhitching began the customary har-
angue as prelude to working the shell
racket or some other fake.
A half dozen good men procured long
rope and unknown to the beefer fastened it
to the back end of the buggy. Getting at
the other end, signal was given, the crowd
quickly dispersed and the men hustled the
vehicle, fake and all down the street at q
"Hanksy Nanks" gate, the thills playing a
double roll on the cobble stones with true
martial finish.
Despite his protestations against such
treatment and the flourish of his license they
took him down the classical palisades Of
their little mountain stream and made him
soak up gallon, or thereabouts, Of muddy
water.
