The continued rains and storms of
the past two weeks have done great
damage to crops in this county. 1t is
estimated that fully one-half OF the
grain is still in the fields. 1t is rot
ting and growing in the stack.
1t seems that man must be descended
from some fierce carniverous animal.
The brutal, savage instinct is strong
in him. Rub off the veneering which
the centuries of civilization has placed
upon him, and you find the same
traits which animated the savage ape
like creature, which once ran wild IN
the woods. The war spirit which per-
vades all classes, and is now rampant
in the world, indicates this. 1t is also
shown by the interest taken by the
average Homo in prize fights and
other brutal sports. Take, for in
stance, the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey
scrap. It is probable that more than
one-ha1f of the reading men of this
country were discussing that fight the
next morning. 1t interested all
iclasses, preachers among the rest.
The motto of the Christianized world

The reporter who wrote the article
headed "Two Bad Boys in last week s
issue of this paper must have been
misinformed. The 'hold up' was
simply a street braw1 between female
pedd1er and a couple of reckless boys.
It seems that the old woman, who is a
Polish Jewess, has been in the habit
Of stopping people on the road and
insisting on their buying from her
stock, and becoming abusive upon
their refusing. There was not the
slightest evidence to show that rob
berry, as was charged in the complaint,
was committed or intended. Officer
Frank Hunt, who made the arrest,
was of the opinion from what he
learned OF the boys in Brighton, where
they had worked during the season,
that they were innocent.
