The expert (not oliiclaL estimate
Of our wheat crop for the past year
is 70O,b00,000 bushels, and the same
authority places our corn crop at
2,5S9,95l, 900 bushels. which equals
the output of wheat for the entire
world in 1900.
We are told by the Government
authority that our crop Of cereals
for single year is 90,000,00G tons.
Let US try to get hold of these fig
ures, so that they will mean some
thing TO US. How long train OF
cars would be required to ship this
crop, allowing forty feet outside
measurement to each car, and ten
tons OF grain to each?

DR.. PEERY'S LECTURE.

The lecture OF DIR. II. ID. Peery, last
Sunday, was a very enjoyable one In
deed. DIR. Peery has been missionary
OF the Lutheran church, in Japan, for a
dozen years, and during this time has
observed closely and studied carefully,
the customs and character OF the
Japanese. In his lecture he gave many
interesting details of the life and char
acter of the people not found in the
books, and brought much that was new,
even to the readers OF history.
Barring the fact, that the day was a

BOwEN'S NEW SHOES.

Quite an exciting incident occurred
In the post-ofllce at Emory on Thanks
giving day. Bowen Ratliff, OF Tazewell,
one OF the students of Emory College
entered the post-oilice wearing a new
pair Of patent leather shoes, when
three drunken men by the names OF
Stephenson, living about mile from
Emory, attempted to. as they said
christen them. On young Ratliffs re-
fusing TO submit TO such treatment, a
quarrel ensued, which, might have en-
ded seriously had 1t not been for some
men present at the time.
On attempting to step on young
Ratliff's feet, and after being repealed
Eugene Stephenson drew n gun al
Ratliffs feet. Mr.. b. f. Campbell, the
postmaster seized the weapon, and
after some considerable amount OF per
suasion succeeded In preventing fur
ther trouble.
The affair aroused "a feeling OF re
venge among the faculty and student
body. Immediately a warrant was
sworn out against Stephenson, but 10y
, the time the officers reached Emory
they had succeeded i'm eluding their
pursuers.-Wytheville Dispatch.

the refusal of its Board OF trustees to

that the college should be boycotted.
