Another complication was the
result of the second primary ia
Suwannee county and the i'm
possible happened again. Four
candidates for representative
were in the race, two places to
be filled. Each one of three of
the candidates actually received
a majority of all the votes cast,
and some of the friends of the
candidate who received the
smallest majority insisted
that as he had received d ma
jority of all the votes he was
entitled to another chance, and
that the race should be run
again between the two candi-
dates receiving the least major
tiles. The situation was finally
solved, however, by the with
drawal of the candidate who
accorded the nomination to the
candidate next above him.

Officers Elected and Work Begun For The Sew
enteenth Annual Meeting.

On call of the president a mas
meeting was held in Laclede las
Saturday and it was the enthusiastic
wish of all that we have fair thi
fall. This point having been settled
the next order of business was tn,
election of officers with the following
result: j. T. Hamilton, president; D
Carmichael, vice president; F. w
Burke, secretary; w. R. Barton, treas
urer; J. L, Ong, marshal.
The selection of date was left to
the officers and on Monday they de.
cided on Saturday, September 6, but
this was later changed to the 18th,
The change of date was made necessary
by Meadville setting September 4 as
the date of their fair.
While the people of Meadville hard
ly acted fair in the matter Laclede
having selected her date first, we glad
ly yield and take the next best date
the 11th.
The certainty of holding the La
clede fair, however, hinges on the
success of the soliciting committee.
If enough money is promptly sub
scribed we will have one of the best
fairs in the history of the society, if
not it will be declared off.

Rocky Ford Club House.
From The Sumner Star.

From The Sumner Star.
Owing to the continued rains OF the
week previous, and the fear that the
roads would be bad and the grounds
unfit, the picnic that was to have been
given by the Laclede people at the
Rocky Ford Club House Oh the Fourth
was postponed. However +. B. Allen,
John Lomax and Chaplain Felt came
down and brought a couple of decend-
ants of Ham to finish up some work
on the club house and grounds.
The senior of this paper went out
with them. We found the roads good
and the ground in ideal condition for
a picnic, and the boys were loud in
their expressions of regret that the
picnic had not been pulled off on time.
They had splendid dinner and treat
ed us so royalty that we are counting
the days that are to intervene before
we can enjoy their hospitality again.
Their club house stands on the east
bank of the river, and the ground
gradually slopes down to the sandy
beach, while on the other side is a
precipitious rocky bluff which presents
a most enhancing scene from their
front porch, while on either side ma
jestic oaks elms and sycamores give a
grateful shade, such as can be found
in few spots along the river. In fact
they have a location that which seems
to have been designed especially to
the use to which they have put it.
The club house itself is a model of
neatness, and is we'll supplied with
everything needful for the comfort of
the members and their guests, and we
doubt not that the people of Laclede
will frequently avail themselves of
their sylvan retreat.

Walter Jacobs, aged %, was killed
by lightning on the farm of J. W,
Sayers southwest of Browning Thurs
evening. He was working in the hay
field and when the storm came up
took refuge by the side of the stack
where he met death. The stack was
set on fire and burned up.
A man by the name of Stephenson
who was also under the edge of the
stack was severely shocked and un-
conscious for several hours but at last
reports was slowly recovering.

The date for this falls reunion has

held about the last of August or the
first of September.
Postoffice authorities are consider
ing the advisabtlity of issuing series
of small sized stamps of the two cent
denomination to be used upon envel-
opes containing calling cards and
small sized notes. The matter has
been presented to Mr.. Madden, third
assistant postmaster general. He says
that if it were practicable he believes
the department would issue rule
prohibiting the use OF the tiny envel-
opes now so popular with society
folks. However if the small envelop
will be used, Mr.. Madden has promised
to see what can be done in the way of
stamp that will not en-
tirely obscure the envelope.

The agricultural fairs may be held
this season from two to three weeks
earlier than heretofore because the
crops ofall kinds are that much earlier.
For that reason the Laclede fair will
be held on September II.
There seems to be no limit to the
growth of vegetation this season, and
many mammoth specimens are being
shown. R. A. David brought down
a radish from his garden Thursday
that measured IS inches in length

the past week averaged somewhat
cooler than usual, but in the centra.
and southern sections the mean tenn
perature was very near the normal
There was about the averaged amount
of sunshine in the central and north.
ern sections, and considerable more
than the average in the southern sec.
tions. The precipitation for the week
exceeded l inch over the northwest
section, the northern portion of the
central and southwest sections and
the western portion of the northeast
section, portions of the northwest sec
tion receiving from 2 to over 4 inches
but over the easteIn and southern
counties it was generally light and in
portions of the southeast sections there
was none. In number of the extreme
southern counties rain is needed.
The principal farm work of the
week has been the stacking and thresh-
ing of wheat and the cutting of oats
and hay, and in majority of the
northern and western counties it has
been retarded to a greater or less cx-
tent by showers, and some damage
has been done to grain in shock and
also to that yet standing in the
fields. The damage has not been
great, however, except in few locali-
ties. In few of the extreme north
western counties considerable wheat
still remains uncut it having been i'm
possible to get into the field with
machines. Oat harvest has progress
sed as rapidly as the weather would
permit, and while there has been con-
siderable loss in some localities, the
bulk of the crop has been put in the
shock in fair condition. Much dam
age by rust is reported in few coun-
ties. In the southeastern and extreme
southern counties the weather has been
very favorable and work has progress
sed rapidly. Threshing returns con-
tinue to show heavy yields of wheat,
but in many places the quality has
been impaired to some extent by the
wet weather. Owing to the frequent
rains in the northern and western
sections considerable portion of the |
corn crop has not received the cult
vation it should have had and many |
fields are very weedy; nevertheless the
crop is making excellent progress and
is caring we'll. In the extreme south
ern counties some Of the earliest fields
are now in roasting ear stage. In a |
few of the extreme northwestern coun-
,ies some corn has been damaged by |
rains and the flooding ofl
owlands, while in number of the |
and extreme southern |
counties the crop is needing rain, re-
ports of firing being received from
Pemiscot county. Cotton is also suf:
ering for rain in Pemiscot county and
S shedding, but in New Madrid it is
loing finely. Flax, in the southwest
'rn counties, is ripening and some has
'een cut. Kaffir corn, sorghum, COW
,eas, millet and tobacco are doing
veil. Pastures continue in good con-
lition but in some localities in the
outheast sections stock water is be-
'oming scarce. Early potatoes are
