Report From Kenton.

Monday. Mr. Hurt states the crot
prospects around his country are il

He says that the berry crop is al
most complete failure, the wheat
looking very poor and corn badly
damaged by the rains. He says
that the farmers are feeling some
what discouraged. We trust that
the people all over the county will
find things in better condition in a
short time. One gentleman told us
he thought it likely that the rains
may have washed some of the wheat
clean of rust and the corn in all
proba bility would not need replant-

Work was done in the third de.

excellent style. Especial mention

After work, the lodge was called
from labor to retreshment, and the

to which all did ample justice.
When the time came for coffee and
cigars, a number of excellent talks

SANDBANK THE CAUSE
OF WAR PREPARATIONS
Boundary Dispute Between Honduras
and Nicaragua Comes
uD Again

Beteen the republics of Honduras and
Nicaragua are a river, a boundary line
and a dispute. Like most such differ
ences, this one has been up, and down
again, from time to time, with little
prospects of serious trouble or a final
settlement before duties and taxes to
be gathered in the territory in dispute
shall have become great enough to pay
for fussing over the matter
About the year 1889 Nicaraguan off,
cials served notice on an American at
the entrance to the Rio Patuca to the
effect that Nicaragua claimed all terri
tory between that river and the Rio
Coco or Uang-a district which in
cludes more than 100000 acres of roll
! ing, sunny and grassy plains, on which
| stands forest OF yellow pines. A few
years later Nicaragua seemed to mod
ify her pretensions so that they covered
only about half so much as she claimed
before. Now she seems to have aban-
doned all claim to any land north of
the Coco, other than that delta which
lies between the main channel of the
Uang or Coco and that ag-infested
shallow outlet which is on the north
and west side Of that sandbank.
Half century ago that islet was the
site of mahogany cutters camp and a
large village of Waikas or Mosquito In
dians. Then 1t was left to become a
thicket of mangrove and of coco-plum
bushes, refuge for egrets, pelicans
and such tomagras as were by foods
drowned out and brought down the
river to become food fer such pigs and
sharks as delight in a dinner of SER
pents as venomous, almost, as a rattle
snake
Within a month a story came that
Honduras was about to send her army
to take possession of the sandbank in
dispute. 1t has now scne prospective
value, as 1t may become the site of a
port Of entry to a broad and beautiful
plain, beyond which are ranges of
rounded hills which In some places
might be called mountains, although
many are only 1000 to 1000 feet in
height.
On the Nicaraguan side of the Coco
are low mountains exceedingly rich in
gold, and covered by forests in which
are many mahoganies and cedars. On
the Honduras side are few IL any, gold
deposits, but there are good agricul-
tural lands, and toward the interior are
considerable forests in which are fine
woods which will be taken out in due
time.
Honduras Is safe in pressing her de-
mand now, for the Zelaya administra-
ton is on the very thin crust of a vol
cano, ready to explode and bury the
Government in a burning flood of hate
and vengeance.-New York CONNER
