two weeks agoto undergo an opera
tion died Thursday forenoon, April
18th. AS it was supposed she was doing
well, her death was great shock to
her many friends in Burneet. She was
born in Burnett about thirty years
ago and lived with her parents on the
old VOORHEES, homestead until about
eleven years since when they removed
to lola, Kan. She returned to Bur-
nett early last summer and has since
made her home with Mr.. and Mrs.
John Weston. She was very unassum-
ing and gentle in her character and
made friends of all who knew her. .

a devoted follower of Christ ever
since. She united with the Presbyter-
ian church and has always maintained
her connection with that denomination.
For the past year she has been re-
gular attendant at the Baptist church
and Sunday school and will be greatly
missed at these services. Her funeral
was held at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Weston, Sunday at 1890 a. m. and
burial in the Stone cemetery. Rev.
A. p. Parry conducted the services
choosing his text from 1st Cor. 1920.
"Thus has passed away young life
OF whom it may be said she had many
friends and 10 enemies. Her parents
and family in Kansas who were unable
to be present at the funeral have the
deepest sympathy of all their friends
and acquaintances."

to be in Kansas. At least there
doesn't seem to be any social, religious
and political rows on hand all the
time in those two states on account of
the liquor laws. The Constitution
gives this view of local option:
1.-THE people Of. Georgia have had
seventeen years trial of local option
and have become satisfied with it.
They have driven out barrooms from
more than hundred counties OF the
state, and the constituency that abol-
ished the barrooms has been able to
enforce their own home made law. To
disturb that policy now will oe to open
a Pandora's box of agitations and
put in jeopardy the local option pro-
hibition Of every county that now en-
, joys it. A state prohibition law, If
put upon communities whicn do not
want it, by arbitrary action, will be-
come odious, and the same spirit that
repeals it can and probably will put
the barrooms again upon communi-
ties in which they are now shut out. I"
And the st. Johnsbury correspond
ent Of the Vermont Tribune writes as
follows concerning the business there.
''The liquor agency changed hands
May /, G. A. Sylvester, who has had
the Office for the past six years,
stepped out, and Ethan Carr took his
place. Sylvester sold S400 worth the
last week he was there and is glad of
a chance to rest. The business shows
no signs of abating, but will increase
somewhat until the new agent gets the
run of things and knows how to man

afternoon Selectman Carr stepped in
to the agency to see how the new
agent was progressing, found crowd
there waiting to be served, and was at
once pat to work. He helped the
agent for a few hours and is now sat-
isfed that there is some work in SELL
ing rum, even in temperance town.
The sales for that day were Sll4. or

month, or over $50, 900 year. There

low license, where the agency can now
do business of such magnitude.
The only benefit in having a license
under such condition would be to get
some revenue out of it, and give some
individual a chance to make profit,
instead of having it all go to the
town.

CONDITION OF CROPS
Too Dry in the East, TOO Wet mp
North.

Washington, May 2O.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows:
The drouth conditions prevailing at
the close of the previous week in the
South Atlantic and East Gulf states
have been largely relieved, except in
Southern Florida, but the continued
dry weather lin the Ohio valley and
middle Atlantic states, with low tenn
peratures during the first half of the
week over the northern portion OF the
middle Atlantic states and in New
England, have proved unfavorable,
while the Dakotas, Minnesota and
parts of Iowa have suffered from ex-
cessive moisture. Frosts, more or
less, were quite general in the lake
region, Upper Ohio valley and in the
northern portion of the middle Allan
tic states and New England. The
temperature conditions in the lower
Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri val
leys and throughout the Eastern
Rocky Mountain slope were highly
favorable, but on the north Pacific
coastand in the middle plateau districts
the week was much too cool.
Corn planting has made favorable
progress in the Central valleys, ex-
cept in Iowa, where it has been de-
layed by rains, and is nearing COM
pletion in Southern Nebraska and
Illinois. The early planted is grow
ing vigorously in Oklahoma, Kansas,
Missouri and Nebraska, and is in fine
condition in Texas, where consider
able portion of crop is made. Cut
worms are causing considerable dam
age in Northern Missouri and in the
upper Ohio valley, and while good
stands are reported in the middle
Atlantic states, low temperatures
have been ,unfavorable.
Winter wheat has experienced no
material improvements in the states
of the Ohio valley. In Missouri the
crop continues in exceptionally prom
ising condition, although some lodg-
ing is reported, and further improve
ment in Nebraska and Arkansas and
more favorable conditions in Northern
Kansas are indicated. The crop has
made vigorous growth in Oklahoma,
and harvesting, with light yields, is
in progress in Texas. On the Pacific
coast winter wheat has made favor
able advancement and is ripen ing in
San Joaquin valley.
