Dr. Charles w. Cobb, sometimes
called DR.. Staples, Of Darlington

September term Of Prince Edward
Circuit Court charged with practicing
medicine with license received upon

Dr. Cobb has been practicng medi-
cine AT Darlington Heights for several
years When he came first 10 that
neighbcrhood, several years ago, he
was arrested and brought TO Farm
willie charged with practicing without
a license. Then he went under the
assumed name of Dr. Staples. He

and not long afterwards moved away
from this county. Within the last
twelve months he returned to the same
neighborhood, under the name Of Dr.
G.. w Cobb, and explained that his

Our Rural Friends.

The genuine, full-blood, pure-bred,
thoroughbred, scrub farmer never likes
high-class stock, fine varieties Of fruits,
a pretty home, a varied bill-of-fare, OF
improved premises. TO him any old
thing is good enough.

Northern Road, declared in a recent
speech that Minnesota was not pros

must realize that the lumber trade
and the mines would never make a
great State. He said that we must
"fall back on the man who cultivates

The largest farm in Iowa, and no
doubt the largest farm in the world
where corn is grown almost exclusive

bolt. The lO5 men who have been em-
ployed steadily on this farm for the
last year have just finished husking
the greatest cornfeld in the United
States. II is estimated that more than
10000 bushels Of corn were raised
there this year. The crop is all cut
and husked from the shock. The
stocks will be shredded for the fat cat
tie before spring. Thirty-seyen double
stalk cutters were used to bind the
corn i'm the field this fall. Two hun
dred mules are used on the farm.
The latest alarm that has been rung

reason being that the paris green with

tuber itself The time is coming when
