say here that load of manure here

in the use of improved seeds. We
had a good variety of cotton, but the

highly that we decided to try them.
The result was that it put five dol

expended for new seed. This is not
the first time we have made money
this way. Now, do not write lot

none for sale. Besides, we do not
propose to give any free advertising
in these columns.
READ FARM PAPERS.
Brother farmer, all the success we
have had in farming was obtained
by reading agricultural journals and
the bulletins from the Experiment
Stations. They are printed expressly
for the farmers benefit. A study of
these during these long winter nights
will help up all in our work the oOm
ing spring and summer. The Bulle-
tins cost you nothing excepting the
one cent paid for postal card to
order them on. You are taxed to
support these papers; then do not
feed your horse and let him stand up
in idleness while you walk to town
and lug your fire wood on your shoul-
ders. Make him work for you.

which is to be used by the two COM
panies for target practice. The local
military is taking considerable inter

follows: President, C. P. Goodyear

a few minutes. Miss Gertrude Dzialin-

saw the murderers in jail this morning,
and the scene was most pathetic one.
The attendance at court was large.
standing room was at premium. Se'-

Faircloth has shown wonderful nerve
throughout the trial. To-day he refused

not accepted by the court. Sheriff SUIT

scented by J. Al Williams of Cedar Key,
who made a hard fight to save Smiths
neck. Smith was not placed on the
stand Faircloth told the story of the
horrible murder to the jury, which was
shocking. Judge Bullock gave his
charge to the jury at o'clock, which
contained twenty-five counts. AT
O'Clock the jury is still locked up, and
no verdict has been rendered. This is
a great surprise. The impression is
that they will be found guilty of muir
der in the first degree, and that the
death sentence will be passed. To-
night some think that Smith will be
recommended to the mercy of the
court. In this event trouble may fol-
low Everybody is quiet and orderly
at this hour.
