COTTON THAT HAS NO SEED
A Newton County Farmer Is Puzzled
BY a Freak Of the Field. Yield
Same as Ordinary Kind.

w. B. Livingston, an industrious
planter of the western section of New
ton county, is puzzled over the growth
of peculiar variety of cotton on his
farm this season. On several acres of
ground he will produce bale of cot
ton which is entirely devoid of seed.
The balance of his crop of cotton is
not affected by this popularity. AS
his entire crop was planted with the
same variety of seed, fertilized and
cultivated alike, this unusual circum-
stance is somewhat of mystery. Mr..
Livingston says there is apparently
no difference in the yield and quality
of the staple of his seedless cotton and
the ordinary kind produced or his
farm.

BULLET IN HEART MANY YEARS
Shot in Vital Organ, and Finally
Dies of Consumption.

After living more than eight years
with a revolver bullet in his heart and
in defiance of death warrant pro-
nounced by all Chicago physicians
who attended him, Charles B. Nelson,
who was shot by an unidentified negro
in Washington Park, July l, 1897,
has just died of consumption.
The case, which is one Of the most
extraordinary in medical annals, at
tracted much attention at the time.
Nelson was shot at three times by his
assailant, two shots taking effect, One
bullet struck him in the back of the
neck while a second hit him in the
breast and penetrated to the heart,
and there it has remained since.
The mysterious case has never been
cleared up. Clark and woman were
sitting in the park when negro man
sprang upon them and began shoot
ing. He left Nelson for dead and pur-
sued the screaming woman until he
was in danger of being captured, when
he disappeared and has never been
identified

as possible by better fertilization,
more thorough preparation and bet

work successfully we must use the very
best improved machinery of every
kind. Primitive implements and old

keep abreast with the times will soon
find himself left far behind by the
more enterprising, who will grew
richer in the same proportion in which
he is growing poorer. Modern ma
chinery and better methods in all farm
work will go far toward overcoming
the disadvantages that arise from
scarcity of labor or the unreliability
of laborers. +"

AUTUMN.

A sapphire sky and fieecy clouds,
A riot of goldenrod,
Poison ivy ablaze on the walls,
Blue asters that dance and nod.
A late wild rose on its slender stem,
A tangle of clematis,
Two butterflies dancing in sunlit air,
A humming birds dainty kiss.
A crab apple tree with its jewels fair,
A nut tree that's turning brown
blueiay's flash and whistle,
A squirrel leaping down.
The smell of leaves that are burning,
The wild ducks farewell call
The stacks of hay in the marshes,
Where gray seas rise and fall.
Cows standing out on the hillside
Against a turquoise sky,
loon sailing over the meadow,
with a long and weird "Goodby!
A long, blue cloud at sunset
Above a sea Of gold.

A shivering sigh Of cold.
Autumn thus sets her signals
And flashes her banners bright

And into the radiant night
