Texas Farmer recently printed caustic
paragraph critIcising the alleged assertion
OF Bishop WorthiDgton Of Omaha, Neb.,
that farmers were being over educated.
The charge had been publicly made. had
besn commented upon by the press of the
country--especially the agricultural press
and had never been denied. In fact. the
communication below is the first denial we
have seen Of the correctness Of the state
ment. when Texas Farmer printed the
paragraph 1t was a reasonable conclusion,
in view Of the conditions existing, that
Bishop W orthington had made the cruel
ana senseiess remarks attributed TO him.

Worthington has been grossly mis-. epie

that mas reierred TO the matter Will ike

Brown, a resident of Robertsdale,
this county, killed an animal that
puzzles the oldest hunters and trap
pers for name. Its head resembles
that of cat, except that it has a
long, sharp head and whiskers, or
bristles, protruding from the upper
lip about three inches long. Its body
is of dark lead color, heavily furred
with fleece of wool like that of a
sheep. The fur on the four inch tail
resembles that of a possum.' A long
slim neck like that of coon are the
characteristic features of this name.

inches from the back to the ground.
Young Brown, his two dogs and the
lads father had a lively tussle with
the animal.
