The funeral was con- ducted at the M. E. Church, West Liberty, Mo-, where MT. Valen- tines membership had been for the past fifty years.

 R. L. Jernigan has been enter taining a few of his confidential friends since his return from Texas by showing them a fish scale from Tarpon that he caught out of Corpus Christi Bay. The fish measured six feet and six inches in length and weighed nearly two hundred pounds. A fish of this variety is caught in the same manner that is employ ed in bass fishing except that stronger lines and different bait is used. It requires from four to six hours to run the fish down after it is caught and get il fatigued sufficiently to be drawn to the shore. MT. Jernigan says that Tarpon fishing is a great sport on Corpus Christi Bay al this season.
 >The \ Green Forest Canning Company will pay ten cents per gallon foN plums ,ef the wild goose, blue ds4son, marian o1 green gage varfsties, or any variety of good budedplums.

 Mrs. G. N. Norris was painfully injured in a runaway yesterday evening while driving to town. She was driving the mare that has almost raised the family and of course felt no uneasiness of any accident occurring as the mare had been trusted for the use of the family for years. She became scared at something in the road and ran about seventy five yards, throwing Mrs. Norris from the buggy and causing some very painful bruises.

A Look South of Town.

A Look South of Town.
 One evening last week the editor, in company with J. C.. Wilson, went out for drive in the country just south of town and some things that fell under our observation impressed us so forcibly with the splendid pro- ductive powers of the farms in this section, when properly hand led, that we cannot keep from putting some things that we saw in print.
 Like every country this section has two classes of farmers. The members of one class farm twelve months in the year and are all the time adding to the general appearance and productive powers of their farms. The members of the other class farm four months each year and the other eight months is spent at some other occupation or at saving the country. The farms that we had the pleasure of see- ing while out on this short drive would indicate that the owners belong to the former class.
 One thing especially that inn pressed itself upon us during this short drive was that the farmer, who depends upon the Kansas wheat fields for his bread, is using a very poor system of economy. While this has been a very poor year for wheat, we were shown the crop grown by T. s. Phillips, which is estimated at twenty bushels to the acre. MT. Phillips used a small quan- tity of fertilizer in growing this crop.
 MT. Wilson and w. T. Gray, who own two of the best farms south of town, are in very much the same position that Carter was about his oat crop. They have raised so much hay this year that it would seem from it's appearance that they would have considerable difficulty in stack ing it on the ground where it grew.
 They have been experiment. ing with a manure spreader the past year and have found it to be a most profitable investment. For instance, MT. Gray spread fifteen l. ads of manure over three acres of his meadow and from that three acres he cut ten tons of hay while from the three acres by the side of it where he had not scattered manure he cut less than one third of that amount. The farms here have the founda- ton to build upon and can be made better from year to year and every acre of the land that is owned by farmer of the type of "Bil!" Gray will grow better and more productive each year while at the same time yielding magnificiently.
 Charley Chauncy is another of our farmers who has been de- mons:rating what can be done in the way of augmenting crops by building up the land. MT. Chauncey's wheat crop last year attracted a great deal of atten- ton.
 Another thing that was ob- served was that those who sowed clover in their wheat last fall will get a fine crop this year. Since the wheat was cut the clover has sprung up as if by magic.
