Invented a Corn Planter.

James Braswell, whose genius is quite well known locally, has invented a corn planter that may have some tendency to revolu- tionize the corn planting busi- ness.
 Jim was dropping corn the other day and experienced diff culty in dropping the corn just where he wanted it to land, so he made pipe of tin with funnel on one end and placing the other end exactly in the cross he would drop his corn in the funnel and it would fall exactly right. But that was rather slow business and besides the wind was cool on his hands, so an improvement was necessity. After figuring on the situation Jim decided that a hole in one pocket in his pants would enable him to keep his hand in his pocket and do away with the funnel altogether. Ther the idea struck him to use both legs of his pants and both hands and plant two rows at 8 time, and as result he got done planting corn in a very few days after he commenced. Jim's first thought was to apply for patent, but he says that he has been offered a good round sum for the invention by John Buell. and EIbert Russell and he has decided to take them up. Buell. 6; Russell may canvass the county this spring.

Every year the hen lays eggs having a greater value than that of all the soft coal mined.
 Then every year there is sold poultry having a farm value of more than the mine value of all the hard coal mined.
 The hen beats John Mitchell and all his hard coal miners more than three to one.
 The first line represents the value of the poultry crops-live fowls and eggs-last year; the second line represents the value of all the gold mined in all the world:

FRUIT FOR THE EXPOSITION
Green Forest People Asked to
 Gather and Ship Exhibits.

Secretary k. $. Foreman of the Green Forest Horticultural Association is in receipt of a communication from Supt. John P. Logan of the Arkansas horti- cultural exhibit at the Worlds Fair, in which the cooperation of the local association is asked in order that this section may be properly represented in the ex- hibit.
 Mr. Foreman trusts that the people will lend him whatever assistance they may be able in this important matter. In fact, it is absolutely necessary that all assist in the collection of fruits if any exhibit is made in the name of the association. It cannot be expected that one man will do the work by himself.
 Mr. Logan's letter is as follows: ]: Sloan Springs, Ark, April IL.
 Dear Sir: l send you under SC parate cover shipping labels which you will please place on all shipments intended for me for the Worlds Fair. AsI will be getting shipments from several places at the same time you had better ship me only a crate of berries a day unless otherwise ordered. l hope that you will take extra pains to see that the ones sent are good for exhibition purposes, as they will be exhibited in the name of your association and it will be an advertisement to your section. 1 hope that you will see that they are good. Ship them by express, and send your bill to me and 1t will be allowed and paid out of the appropriat ion. i. My address will be in care of Ark ansas Fruit Exhibit, Horticultural Palace, Worlds Fair, St. Louis. l would be glad if you would ad- wise me from time to time at that address what fruits you will have for exhibition purposes during the fair, so that arrangements can be made to take care of them, and remember that we must depend upon the growers for the fruit that will win, for we cannot win on poor fruit. Do not wait for some one else to do it, but write me promptly about what you will have, and when you need any more shipping labels let me know and l will send you more. Trust ing that you will file this letter away so that you can keep in touch with me, 1 remain,
 Yours very truly,
 JNo. P. LOGAN, Supt. Ark. Horticulture, Worlds s Fair.
