Official Map of Lincoln County.

Mr.. c. w. Maxwell, of Fair River,
has purchased the right to sell Welch's
Map of Lincoln County, which was
adopted as the official map of the
county at the last meeting of the board
of supervisors. 1t is an eXcellently ex-
ecuted piece of workmanship, litho-
graphed on first class paper. The beat
boundaries and school districts, public
roads and principal streams, are dis
tinctly marked. 1t shows the ranges,
townships, sections, and sections sub
divided into forty acre lots. The Choc-
taw boundary line running through
the northern portion of the county is
marked and the puzzling lots formed
by this irregular line are clearly shown.
In fact, the map contains everything
that a county map should and is in
valuable to farmers owning land, to
business men and to students. A copy
ought to be in every school and in
every home in the county. From it
can be gained information concerning
the county which can be had in no
other way and teachers will find it of
value also in impartlng knowledge of
land measuring and numbering.

Cnauthentic Portraits of Franklin.

1t seems the height Of absurdity to
look upon the so called Sumner POr
trait of Franklin at Twenty, belonging
to Harvard university, as an authentic
portrait. Where did Franklin, who was
gru5bing for funds to carry him home
at the time this picture Is supposed to
have been painted, get the money for
the purple and fine linen in which he
is arrayed, let alone to pay the artist
for his work? Aside from franklin s cir
cumstances being against its authentic
ity, his Autobiography is silent upon
SO important subject as this portrait,
and its history is purely mythical.
Another picture that has no better
claim to be considered q likeness of Ben
jamin Franklin hangs in the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art and was painted by
Stephen Elmer, an English still life
painter. There is nothing to show that
it was given the name of Franklin until
1924, when a plate engraved by Ryder
and published i'll 1882, as 1.-The Politi-
clan, - was relettercd and issued with
the name of Franklin.
The last picture TO he mentioned in
this cXpurgatOrial list Is Of the first i'm
portance as work Of art. It was paint
ed by Thomas GairsbOrouch and is in
the collection of the Marquis of Lands
downe, but it is clearly not Benz amin
Franklin. It is, i'll my opinion, the por-
trait of Governor William Franklin

The Farmers Cabbage.

While market gardeners are finding
late cabbage sold too chcaply to allow
them any profit, this does not appear to
be the fact with farmers who have
cheaper land, says American Cultivator.
Here is the explanation given by the
authority referred to:
The excess Of fertility in the market
garden does not count for growing late
cabbage, as the heads have to be turned
down i'll order to prevent them from
splitting. Any good corn land with
dressing of manure Will be rich enough
for the late cabbage crop. The secret is
in manuring and blowing the land early,
and then thoroughly working it until
the last of June or first of July, when
the cabbage is to be planted. This fills
the soil full Of plant food, and the plants
will grow better at first than will those
of the market gardener following some
early crop. -Four thousand head of cab
bage per acre, at 2 or cents head,
make Il return larger than most farmers
get from an acre by average farm crops

a good place for three hired men, where

has nothing finished in brass and wal
