George Knots, who lives on the
''Levels" near Townsend, has grown
some wheat of record breaking size.
His crop was recently threshed by
George G. Reed, of Smyrna, and Mr..
Reed found large quantity of heads
containing 70 and 73 grains. Wheat
heads of such phenomenal size are
quite a curiosity, when the average
head this year has contained but from

"BOBS.'

That Is a welcome announcement that Lord
Roberts will visit the United States next year.
Eminent visitors are always gladly received in
this country, not only with popular curiosity
and enthusiasm, but also with discriminating
and appreciative interest. For every one who
dearly loves a lord" il will be a source of pure
delight TO greet one who is styled Earl Roberts
of Kandahar Pretoria and Waterford. Wis

Marshal. Commander in Chief. and what not
else. Truly, there are stars and garters'
enough for any one. But beyond and far above
all such things is the fact. which will far more
strongly appeal TO the judicious mind that in
Frederick Sleigh Roberts is to be seen the most
illustriOus soldier now living in the world. The
man who won the Victoria Cross in the Great
Mutny. serving conspicuously under Nicholson
at Delhi and under Havelock at Lucknow, who
'chivied the Naga and Lushai," who recOuped
the awful disaster of Maiwand and carried his
flag in triumph from Cabul to Candahar. who
established peace and safety on the borders of
the Indian Empire who conquered Burmah
and who turned the tide OF war in South Africa,
is surely man TO be admired by all 10 whom
deeds of herOism and the pride, pOmp and cir
eumstance of glorious war" still make appeal.
Lord Roberts has. however. a still higher title
10 esteem than that of his official rank and
military achievements. The man is greater
than the peer or the field marshal. As these
latter he is 10 be admired. but as the former he
is TO be loved In his simplicity of purpose, his
integrity of character his purity of lfe and
in the mOdesty with which he has borne his
honors and the generosity which he has shown
in every hour of victory. he realizes more fully
than most men of his time the old poets ideal
of the ''veray parfit gentil knight" No other
soldier of his time in any army has more COM
manded the affection well as the obedience
of his men, or has made a surer appeal TO the
sympathies of all who can recognize and ap-
precate true manhood, and in no land. we
venture to believe, is true manhood more
promptly recognized and more fully appreciated
than in our own. A native of India. a citizen
of England and type of the best qualities of
the AnglO-Saxon race, he will be welcome upon
our shores

sian aggression was considered TO be possible
explanation Of the change, though not a certain
one. A better one now appears.
The Kings speech 10 the Norwegian StOrthing
at its opening on Monday announced that nego-
tiations would be continued and pressed TO a
successful conclusion for the establishment OF
separate consular services for the two king
doms IL was practically decided six months
ago TO take such a step. and that decision and
the assurance that il was 10 be promptly exc
cuted doubtless influenced the Norwegian Radi-
Gals TO change their attitude toward Sweden.
For thus one of Norway's chief grievances viii
be removed she has her separate flag. and
army and navy. and Cabinet and Parliament.
Indeed. she is quite separate from Sweden.
save that they both have the same King. the
same Foreign Minister and the same diplomatic
and consular services. There is practically no
affection 10 the King and little 10 the Foreign
Minister and diplomatic service. But Norway
has considered il a real grievance TO he repre-
sented by Swedish consuls because the latter
would naturally be partial 10 Swedish CONNER
ciaI interests and would seek TO promote them
rather than those of Norway As the two king
doms have separate commercial interests and
different fiscal systems il certainly seems logi-
cai and desirable that they shall have separate
consular services
This will be a happy and benefcent ending of
a quarrel which at times has seemed TO threaten
war and revolution. For sentimental and his
toricaI reasons il may be desirable TO keep SWe-
den aud Norway politically separate. For rea-
sons of racial affinity and community OF inter
ests il is eminently desirable that the present
dvnastic union shall be maintained and shall
no strengthened and confirmed in every possible
way. The superb vitality of the Scandinavian
peoples. their high and progressive civilization
and the vast potentiality of resources in their
rugged but not uninvlting countries. make the
welfare OF the Hyperborean Peninsula a matter
of benevolent interest 10 all the world.

Several of our neighbor farmers
finished planting cotton seed and
corn last week.
One of our good lady neighbors
was sadly disappointed one day
lastweek. She made some yeast
one night, and set it out to rise,
and the next day one of her neigh
bors came along and asked her
if she wanted a dog. She told her
no, she said that she didn't want
to be bothered with a dog, that
she could put her yeast out in the
yard and there would be no dog
to bother it. Then she said to
her neighbor to just come around
and see what a nice bucket of
yeast | have. But low and behold,
when they reached the back yard,
there were six old hens in it, Just
making it fly. I don't know what
she said, but I reckon she said
"shoo. " Beulah.
