Mr.. j. F. Adair was in the Banner
Office Tuesday morning and says that
boil weevils have made their appearance
on his place at Ivan. His attention was
called to them by a Mr.. Alexander,
stock raiser and planter from near Deni-
son, Tex, who is at present in the Ivan

ter course in agriculture to be given at

An extra freight train was partially
wrecked while pulling up the grade into
old Benton last Thursday night. It
seems that the train was to have been
brought over the grade in two sections,
a practice which is quite common at this
season of the year, as such heavy loads.
are pulled. While the first section was
being moved car heavily loaded with
lumber pulled its drawhead and rushed
back down the grade. When it bumped
into the second section of the train it
was, of course, ditched, and considerable
damage was also done to the track. The
section crew at this place spent the
greater part of the night in repairing
damages done, and long before the local
passenger train was due had everything
again in good shape.

A New Buggy.

When the bolts get loose on your
buggy and it rattles take it around to
the mechanic and have them frightened
up before the breakdown occurs. After
it has once run down, and been remod-
eled and reprinted, you'd better sell it
and get new one. You can realize
twice as much for it in that condition as
you could if you waited twelve months
longer before selling it. The two prices
you get for it will amount to consider
able on the purchase price of new
buggy, if you buy it from me. Whyq
Well, one of the reasons is that don't
try to make it all in one sale; and an
other is that my living comes principally
from the repair and special order work
I do in leather goods. And, by the way,
there isn't firm in the state that turns
out better work in this line, and I'll
make it point to prove it to you the
first time you give me the chance.
Yours to hustle,
LEONARD WORKMAN.

No change or alteration of any sort

lion marks from their stamps in order
to make their stamps better. The eff

could be desired. The erasures were
not perfect, and the stamps in the
changed condition, being neither can
