Last weeks Homestead, Of Des
Moines, Iowa, contains an admirable ar
ticle by w. P. Harmed, of Vermont. Mo-,
on the subject of "Wintering Breeding
Cattle" 1t is a splendid presentation
Of q live topic from a practical point of
view and we wish every farmer and
breeder in Decatur county could not
only read it and make study Of it, but
BECOME regular reader of The Home
stead, which teens from week oiweek
with just such articles. Every ag7,icul-
tural expert writer or authority iii the
middle West is a regular contributor to
this ine farm paper, which also has
valuable departments devoted to hnrti-
culture, poultry, sheep, dairying, veter-
mary, farm law, home topics, Sunday
school lessons, ETC., making it without a
superior in it's particular field, il in
deed, it has an equal. The time has
1come when farming can be made profit
able only by adopting advanced ind
progressive methods, and when you dan
get the ideas Of such practical breeders
as w. P. Harmed every week by simply
subscribing for farm paper, it is sim
ply common. sense to do 50. We shhll
be glad to take subscriptions for The
Homestead at THE RRpoRTRR Office.

There was rather small sized riot in
town Christmas afternoon when Marshal
Albaugh attempted to arrest James
Acton, who was drunk and disorderly,
but he resisted arrest and for some time
detied the officer and those he called to
his assistance, eSerting super-human
strength and tossing big strong men
around as if they were small boys. He
was finally taken in charge by his wife
and daughter and taken to Harp's res
taurant. Monday an information was
filed before Mayor McGinnis charging
him with intoxication and disorderly
conduct, but his trial has not yet been
held. An information was also fled
against Frank Bennett who mixed into
the fracas but he has not yet been tried.

The north bound freight on the K. &
w. had a strenuous time Of it during the
storm Tuesday. They left GAINESVILLE at
6:15 in the morning and managed to
reach Leon at 3:15 that afternoon, and
as the engine was out of coal were
ordered to lay up here. The crew said
they had only eight ears but were COM
PEELED to double the road all the way, as
the engine could not even pull the train
down the big hill which runs nearly all
the way from Pleasanton to Blockley.
In the train were several cars of stock
and the poor brutes certainly suffered
from the exposure.

to be hoped the treatment will soon re-
store his reason.

The rural mail carriers have had a
hard time trying to cover their routes
this kind of weather, and it is well for
people who worked up and signed the
petitions to have the routes established
to remember that they agreed to get
out and break the roads after snow
storms SO that the carriers can get
along. The government does not re-
quire that the carrier shall break a
road in order to cover his route.
Another matter that causes the mail
boys considerable annoyance this cold
weather is the habit of some people of
dropping pennies in their mail box with
q letter instead of having the letter
properly stamped. The carriers have a
hard time picking out pennies, for their
fingers are numb and they have to take
of their gloves in order to pick them up.
Please remember these little things and
do what you can to assist the carriers
in making their work as light as posi-
bic, for it is hard job at the best.
