The Girl 1 Loved in Sunny Tennessee.
On a morning bright and clear
To my old home / drew near,
Just a village down in sunny Tennes-
see.
l was speeding on a train,
That would bring me back again
To my sweetheart who was waiting
there for me.
1t was but a few short years
Since l kissed away her tears,
As l left her at my dear old mothers
side,
And each day we've been apart
She's grown dearer to my heart
Than the night l asked of her to be
my bride.
As the train drew up at last
Old familiar scenes l passed

And as old friends gathered round
Tears on every face | found,

Poor Crops ON Burned Land.

y.
M jamestown Alert: N. M. Brown of
Sharlow, who has had years Of ex-
.perience farming in the southern part
of the county, is convinced that
prairie fires have done more to dam
age the growth Of crops planted sub
.sequently to the fires, than any other
agency. This year he planted sixty
acres of new breaking, in fax. "A
part of the land had been burned
over last fall, and the; plants on that
part were six inches shorter in
growth and the yield less than on
the part where the grass had not
been burned. He accounts for the
difference In crops solely to the fire,
and to the fact that the land did not
get the moisture down to the subsoil,
as did the ground which had the
growth Of grass before blowing. This
difference in crops on ground burned
over and on ground where the grass
remained until plowed, has been
proved by numerous other farmers
besides Mr.. Brown. It is the great
est argument for keeping down fires
that there is.
