A Farm Implement.
Of Great Merit-ROdgerS Drag
Should Be Manufactured in
Monroe City.

James F Rodgers, who resid-
es southwest of this city, has
secured a patent on field drag
which will level high places
and fiji up depressions, thus
bringing all parts of the field
to be planted to comparatively
the same level. and it will also
thoroughly pulverize the soil.
The drag is made of iron, the
side pieces being bent Wardly
and outwardly, oppositely ar.
ranged to each other. The two
sides alternately approaching
and diverging from each other.
Thus the high places being
caught on the angle in front
similar to an "A harrow the soil
will be thrown to either side,
thoroughly pulverized and be
deposited in the low places.
The rear frame will again do
the same for the soil, thus thor
oughly pulverising it and level
ing it up much better than can
done in any other way. A seat
is placed on the drag for the
driver.
Mr.. Rodgers has secured the
patent on something which ev-
cry farmer in the land will need
and consequently the drag will
be manufactured in great guam
titles. This spring but few will
be manufactured, owing to the
lateness of the season.
These drags can be manufac-
tured in Monroe City. They
should be manufactured here
and they will be, if our people
will take hold of the matter. 1t
would be a big enterprise for
Monroe City.

Democrats in Rails.

Consi derable interest was
manifest ed in the Democratic
primary which was held in Rails
County, Saturday. The nomi-
nation on the Democratic ticket
in Rails is equivalent to an
election, so the citizens of the
Little Kingdom know who are
next to serve them. The result
was as follows:
Representative-Joe Barry.
Collector-Rosser Morris.
Sheriff-H. A. Addison.
Treas-Mrs. Emma Briscoe.
Pros Att'y-B, E. Hulse.

We have not learned whether
Mr.. Rodgers intends to manu-
facture the drags himself or let
some company manufacture
them on a royalty, but in either
case our people should take the
matter up with Mr.. Rodgers at
once. Such an enterprise will
bring thousands of dollars to
our city and will bring us many
other similar enterprises. The
time to secure this great bust
ness for Monroe City is right
now. Do moi delay. Get busy.
