President C. A. Robinson. of the La
Belle, is shortly to resign his position
and assume the duties Of superntend-

Mr.. Robinson could not be seen TO ver-
lily the truth OF the report, which came
to the Intelllgencer from a man in u
position to know whereof lie spoke, he
being closely In touch with mill mat

resignation would result In other
changes in the LaBelle. and that by
reason OF 1t. Mr.. John Il, Wright, now

The same gentleman stated that the
combines mills lack a definite system
of management so far, but that the
smOothness necessary would be devel-

one OF the directors Of the combine,
took charge.
AS was first stated in the Intelligent

on the charge OF using prOfane lan-

friends Of the boy called other colored
men from saloon. and they made such
a hostile showing. IN the officers mind,
that he pulled his revolver on tho
crowd. However. nothing serious hap
pened and the boy was released from
custody at police headQuarters-and
here's the peculiar phase Of the affair.
Johnson is stranger here and does
not know Captain Bennett. When the
boy was brought in the day Lieutenant
sent out for the. captain, and the friends
Of the boy sent for lawyer. Sam o..
BOyce. When Mr.. Boyce came In, he
tried to smooth matters by promising
the boy would do better In the future.
and advised the railroad officer to pro-
coed no further. To this the latter MS.
scented. and the boy was released. Then
1t developed that Johnson thought
Boyce was Bennett; but for this he
would probably have turned n deaf eur
to the lawyers plea for his client.

In rainy seasons in early summer the
grass is watery, consequently the cream

soft. When this is the case, cool the
cream down rapidly and churn it at as

When the pasture is watery, give the
cows considerable additional dry feed.
