is opposed to Hill and in favor of for ner Governor William J. Stone. who s said to have the support of William J. Bryan. This impression totally mis- represents Senator Vest. He is known to have the very highest regard for Senator Hill and has anything but high regard for his fellow Missourian. Governor Stone. Amos Cummings tells a story which illustrates Vests feelings toward Stone.
 When Senator Vest last went fishing on Senator Quays Florida estate. he was accompanied by Cummings. They were after channel bass. Cummings got a stingaree and was making a fuss about it when Vest called out from the bow of the naphtha launch and asked what the matter was. When Cummings told him, Vest said: Haul him in; 1 want his tall"
 Cummings did as requested. cutting off the tail with his Jack-knife. The stingaree was thrown on the bank, where it lay Hopping in its death az ony. Later in the day when the launch came back on its home ward trip, the stingaIee still lay Hopping on the bank and a buzzard had perched above 1t. The bird was scrooching up its shoul- ders in the ungainly way which buz- zards have and was patiently waiting HUI AiAo S0PpCA NO AoAN was hilariously amused. and when Cummings asked what was funny, the old man cackled out in dry. high pitch ed tones:
 T know a buzzard down in Missouri waiting for me to die just like this buzzard in waiting for this stngaree."
 This was a delicate reference to Stone who had long before announced that he would be candidate for the Senate just as soon as Vest, through death, resignation or retirement. should get out of the way.
 It is very likely that if anything on earth could draw the old Senator away from the tranquility of hls declining years and throw him into the mael- strom of political contention, it would be the serious candidacy of Stone for the Presidency. The relations between Vest and Hill are very close. Senator Hilrs opposition to the income tax could not in any sense disturb these relations. The income tax is now re- garded as sound Democratic doctrine, and Senator Hilrs friends scout the idea that his availability is impaired because years ago as Senator he op- posed an income tax bill. and they re- gard it as absurd that the income tax could be considered imperiled with Hill as President on a platform for such tax.

 Since the report has gotten into the papers that there are indications of oil in the neighborhood of Selma. a good many papers far away from here have conta ined fake telegrams that are cal culated to mislead the public.

 The other twenty acres has only few nubbins on it. but he will not cut it down. He says that good many or his neighbors are cutting and shock ing their corn stalks for mule ana cat tle feed, as there is no corn on the stalks. This is a deplorable condition, but goes to show how sorry the corn crop is in this section. Corn is very spotted throughout the black belt many farmers not making enough to' last them until Christmas. This scarci- ty of corn is going to make the crop of 1902 a very expensive one. and corn ia going to be very high, as the crop is short in the great corn belts of the Northwest.
