The farmers seem 10 be cheerful in this
section, owing to the excellent weather
they have had seeding wheat Most of
them are now busy hCsking corn and
anticipate a good yield, especially the
farms near the river Thomas's Neck

real to the acre Of any in the county
this year.
The writer in travelling through a
greater part of Essex and the borders
OF King and Queen found that the ma
jority OF the farmers sowed quantities of
peas for fallow, from which they cut
large crops OF hay. At the same time il
serves as great improver Of the soil
IN great many cases the peas are used
IN the place OF commercial fertilizers.
The large farmers will have to in a few
years discard the idea OF cultivating
large areas OF land. They can cut them
up in smaller tracts and by gradual ro-
tation oi crops bring their farms to that
standard whereby they can realize more
from a smaller surface. The migration
OF labor to the North has brought about
these decided changes in the progress OF
agriculture in the South.
Mr.. d. =. Motley, one OF the thriftiest
merchants and lumbernen Of our coun-
ty, has manufactured large quantity
OF ties and lumber this season, from
which he has realized good prices.
Mr.. W. A. Gresham, the enterprising
merchant of this place purchased a few
days ago a large quantity OF railroad ties
from J. ". Gilsen, of Mayville, n. Y. on
the farm OF W. E Sale. He has a num-
ber OF wagons hauling them to the land

Nov. IA. 1902.
The melancholy days. OF which the no.
et sang, are lar behind schedule time
this year, and at this writing there is no
sign OF them coming. November is well
advanced and has given no touch of
winter yet. The flowers have not at an
retired TO their winter quarters and the
birds still sing their merry songs. The
weather bureau seems to be putting mn
joke on the coal dealers, and without
"a change soon. there will be another
strike in the wood and coal yards. and
the President will have to hurry hack
from his bear hunt in Mississippi TO an
point another commission OF arbitra-
ton.
Wild game is as plentiful here as in
other sections. Master I.yttleton Baker
opened the season on wild turkeys several
weeks ago by shooting well grown
hen. Ii was not of the domestic variety
ike the two shot by your city sportssome
days ago, for which they had to nav s.
apiece. The weather has been TOO warm
for trapping rabbits and the boys are
complaining of a dull season.
Mrs. Burton Rollins, near Shiloh, is en-.
titled to the blue ribbon for raising the
largest and finest winter cabbage IN this
section They are not raised specially
Tor market, but neighbors who are with
out can obtain family supply at mod
crate cost. We called Yesterday for a
buggy load, calculating to bring home
thirty or forty heads, but on loading up
we found that fourteen well stripped
crowded the deck fore and oft and caused
our buggy springs to clash We will call

Speaking OF cabbage reminds us Of
sweet potatoes and OF the prize story
published some days ago, that one OF our
citizens, neer Index, had raised a potato
weighing sixteen pounds And this re-
calls conversation on another subject

Qulred $500 at once to complete a deal.
He would deposit the remainder with
the bank. The $500 was promptly
paid to him and he departed. Later
the suspicion of the officers Of the
bank was aroused and an investiga'
tion was set on foot. The investiga'
ton showed that the bank had been
defrauded out of $775, for the check
originally calling for s25, had been
raised in a clever way to $250O.

SEARCH FOR GOLD.
Which Is Claimed to Have Been Hid

den Years Ago In Usage Nation.
Parts of the Usage nation are ex-
cited by a secret search for gold being
made at night by unknown parties. A
farmer named Bulanger, living near
Pawhuska, had numerous holes dug in
his fields at night by unknown search
ers The circumstances which give
rise to the search occurred in the sum
mer of 1862, when a man from Missou-
ri, named Goldie, returning from Cal
ifornia, carrying 100000 worth Of
gold dust had his train attacked by a
band of Pawnees, who knew that he
had the money. All were killed eX-
cept Goldie, who made good his es-
cape a short time before the attack
under the pretense of hiding the gold.
After the massacre, and no gold was
found, the Indians discovered the es.
cape Of Goldie, followed him so close,
ly that he was compelled to make
good his escape, after marking the
hiding place of the dust. II has never
been found and Goldie was never able
to return for IL. His son made search
for 1t after his fathers death, but was
not successful.

SOLDIER DRAWS GUN
ON OFFICER MURPHY
Arrested for Over-Exuberance, He
Proceeds to Assert His "Mili-
tary Rights"

Tom Carol. a soldier, created con-
siderable excitement yesterday after
noon on West Third street by drawing
revolver on officer Jack Murphy, of
the central day squad. Carol and
three other soldiers had been about
town all day blowing in" their pay for
many drinks of the corrosive fluid.
They reached the height of their ex-
uberance when they arrived at Third
and Washington, when Officer Murphy
told them to move on and not to make
so much noise.
Carol resented the request as a slur
on his rights as a citizen and his dig
nifty as a soldier, and proceeded to re-
late in a deep high key his inahenable
privilege to do as he pleased. He was
arrested, and, on the way to the sta
ton, drew forth a thirty eight caliber
Colts revolver, which Officer Murphy
saw in the nick of time to knock it out
of his hands. Carol, deprived of his
side arms, forgot military tactics and
started in to rough it, and finished Sec
ond at the game. He was charged
with drunk and diSorderly.

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE
MAY BE SUCCESSFUL
Fred Anderson, Who Cut His Throat a
Week Ago, Takes Bad Turn and
May Not Get Well.

Fred Anderson, the tailor, who at
tempted to kill himself last week by
cutting his throat with a pair of tail
lor's shears, is in a serious condition
at the city hospital, and the physicians
fear that his effort will be successful.
Anderson cut deep cash in his throat
and when discovered was in a very
weak condition. The wound was dress
ed at the hospital, and for time it did
not appear as if the injury was serious.
Yesterday, however, Anderson, who had
been improving as fast as could be eX-
pected, began to get worse. He re-
lapsed into delirium and sank rap
idly.
George Becker, who fell down the
pole hole in Engine House No. 8, Payne
and York streets, also had a relapse
yesterday at Bethesda hospital, and his
condition is now as alarming as when
he was brought in. Becker lowered be-
tween life and death for several days,
but Saturday was much improved and
it was thought he was entirely out of
danger.
