Canton News:-For several
years past J. E. Millett of Eden
township has furnished the corn
carried in the great parades of
the Natioral Encampment, G. A.
E. At the close of the parade
the sHauser Rifles" which cons
sisted of sticks four feet long on
one end of which was fastened a
bunch of South Dakota wheat
and an ear of Millett's South Da-
kota corn, have been given away
and they have been carried all
over the continent as souvenirs
of the encampment and our state.
At Chicago last year Missouri
veteran secured one of these
rifles. A brother-in-law from
Texas saw it and carried the corn
home, planted it; ard the crop
proved SO vastly superior to the
native corn that it is causing con-
siderable excitement in the lone
Star state where it is called
National corn in view of the
fact that the seed was obtained
from the National Ercanpment,
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1901-08-08

G.. a. r. Mr.. Millett has been
raising this variety of corn for
several years and it natures in
about ninety days from the time
of planting. This particular
ear Of corn was picked just ninety
six DAYS from the time of plant
ing, If we remember rightly. Joe
Millett may prove to be great
benefactor. He has never
charged anything for the corn,
except for the labor of gathering
it, and there is no telling how
many communities may be bene-
fitted by the introduction of this
improved variety of Americas
most important crop. Joe Millett
will become famous as the grow
er of corn that has become ma
tionalized.

STILL THE TALK IN RAILROAD CIRCLES Absorption of the Mobile & Ohio By the Southern Rail-
 way

The absorption of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad by the Southern Railway Com pany continues to be the chief topic of discussion in railroad and commercial cir cles. That this latest acquisition of the Southern will be of far-reaching benefit to that company and of great benefit to Mobile every one comedies And an official of the Southern said yesterday that Birmingham, certainly the Birmingham district, would be benefited by the deal for large volume of traffic would be turned in this direction that now goes around the city.
 The mileage of the Mobile and Ohio is S65, of which the main stem from St. Louis to Mobile embraces GA miles, and the line from Artesia over to Montgomery 1S1 miles. The small branches consist of the Mill stadt Junction, miles; the Aberdeen June tion, miles; the Blocton branch, 13 miles, and the Starkville branch Il miles. This S65 mileage of the Mobile and Ohio added to the Southern gives the latter total of 7665 miles, including the Louisville, Evans vile and St. Louis road.
 With this immense system it has been suggested that the Southern would prob ably establish general headquarters here, with a general superintendent in charge. But a transportation official gave 1t as his opinion that nothing of the sort was in contemplation. He said that while he had no information on the subject, the general manager of the Louisville, Evansville and St. Louis line, with headquarters at St. Louis, would become also the general man. ager of the Mobile and Ohio division.
 When the question is asked What will be the Southerns next acquisition?" rail- road men promptly reply: "The New Or leans and Northeastern-the line from Me- ridian to New Orleans" The Southern now has this desirable property at it's mercy, and it is thought that it will be only very short time when it will be owned by the commanding company. The opinion is freely expressed, too, that in time the Southern will get the Plant System.
