Cookie Burr in His Lung.

The little son of Thomas Moran. a
farmer near Cascade, is lying at the
point of death as the result of having
cockleburr lodged in his lungs.
The burr caught on his mitten and in
trying to pull it out with his teeth he
drew the thorny burr into his lungs,
where it has lodged so firmly that all
attempts to remove it have proved
futile. He is suffering great torture.

The Grundy Center Potato Crop.

The total number of cars of potatoes
shipped from Grundy Center this
season was 337 cars. Last year we
thought we had big crop but the
total number of cars was only 1919.
The total number shipped from Wells
burg was 63. The 337 cars shipped
from here represent 16S.5OO bushels
which at 80 cents makes $40. 900. 90.
Some of the potatoes brought more
than 30 cents so it is safe to say that
the amount received by the growers
was better than $50, 900. Republican.
