The very muddy roads kept many
from attending the opening day of the
Farmers Institute in this city yesterday,
but there were sufficient present at the
afternoon meeting to make it very in
teresting.

by prayer by Rev. Ilsley
Judge j. w. Harvey made an address
OF welcome and gave some amusing in
cidents of how farming was carried on
when he was a boy, for the Judge spent
the first q years of his life on farm.
John F. CARRIER responded to the ad-
dress of welcome in splendid manner.
He proved conclusively that agriculture
was the corner. stone of all other occu.
pations, and closed by thanking the
people of Leon for their kind and hearty
welcome to all who attend the Insti-
tute.
He was followed by Presiden, Ralph
Baker who made talk in his always en-
pertaining style.

tural College then delivered a splendid
address on Field Crops He is a young
man IF splendid education and chuck
full of information in regard to all kinds
OF field crops 1t was an address we'll
worth hearing. There was quite a good
attendance to hear Prof. Atklnson's

for to-day and we trust there will be a
large increase in the attendance. Hon.

Have Struck Coal.

There was considerable excitement on
the streets of Leon Tuesday forenoon
when it was announced that the drillers
who are drilling VIM. Biggs' deep we'll
had struck a big vein of coal. But it
proved to be the truth and there is no
question but what there Is plenty of
good coal right here underneath Leon.
The coal was struck at depth of 4SO
feet and Mr.. Powers says the drill pass.
ed through four and !, half feet of coal.
That which the drill brought to the sur.
face was good quality of coal. The
vein was struck after drilling through
more than hundred feet of blue soap.
stone and tile same blue soapstone was
found under the coal. The we'll was
down 500 feet last night, which was the
depth called for in the contract, but Mr.
Biggs will go on down at least so fee,
more as there is every indication tina,
water will be found before going much
| deeper.

Mention was made last week of Judge
Harvey going to Osceola to appear for
client who had been sued for $1,000
back taxes by the tax ferrets in that
county. His client was Charles Doner
of Murray, and Judge Harvey informs
us that Judge Towner sustained every
point raised in their demurrer, which
amounts to throwing the case out of
court. Judge Towner held that section
1874 code of 1897, under which the suit
was brought was repealed by implica-
ton when chapter so of the acts of the
last general assembly took effect on
April IL, 1900. This chapter bars the
bringing of suits under section 1874 code
of 1897. 1t was quite legal victory for
Judge Harvey and will have an impor-
tant bearing on many other cases where
the parties have refused to settle.
