SAVANNAH TO STAND
ON HER OWN BOTTOM
No Change In Situation Until Ways
and Means Committee
Meets.

Washington. January 18.-(Special. THE
sub-treasury situation remains unchanged
here, those interested only waiting for the
next meeting of the ways and means COM
mittee to deal with the subject.
Representative Overstreet of Georgia,
who represents the Savannah district. said
today: "Savannah's position in the matter
Is as 1t has been from the start, viz:
that the city wants the sub-treasury, and
will continue to fight for it."
He added that Atlanta had made no re-
cent appeals through the congressional
delegation for Savannahs support. The
business interests of the city may have
done so, but he knows nothing of that
end of the matter.

AGRICULTURAL
EARLY CABBAGE,

The cabbage has been in use for CEN
turtles and is regarded by many as the
best of all vegetables. 1t is certainly
one of the most profitable of all crops
for the truck farmer, as 1t is always IN
demand in all markets and seldom fails
to pay a good profit on the cost OF cut
tivation. One advantage about the cao-
bage crop is that 1t can be so cheapiy
produced. After the plants are set all
the work that Is necessary TO produee
a fine crop of cabbage can be PERFORM
ed with horse power The main thins
in successful cabbage growing is to have
good strong plants to begin with and
for early crops the plants will have to
be started by some means of artificial
heat Ordinary hot beds are the most
economical plan for the truck grower,
so that it may be well to give few
hints here regarding these.
Hot Beds.
In preparing hot beds. usually begin
by digging pit as long as wanted, six
feet wide and twelve inches deep. Fill
this pit with fresh stable manure made
by horses and containing wheat. or oat
straw, or in other words get the manure
from barns where large quantities of this
straw is used for bedding. This manure
should be forked over several times.

James Cunningham, the little
son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. D. Gun.

tirely parted company with his
admiration for monkeys. While
standing with several other chill.
dren, watching the monkeys, that
were at the Keytesville street fair
last week, partake of their ev-
ening meal, the larger of the two
monkeys sprang upon James,
knocked him down and bit him
in two places, once on the neck
and once on the left arm. The
monkey seemed to be very an

OutfOlkinq Folk.

When We heard that Mayor j.
I. Dewey had put the lid on in
Keytesville and had notified the
merchants that they would not
be permitted to sell any more
goods on Sunday, we approved
the order, but we had no thought
he intended to go still further
and prohibit the sale of cigars
and tobaccos at drug stores,
hotels and restaurants, yet he
has done that very thing, and
the smokers and chewers must
lay in their supplies during the
week or else 60 smokeless and
forswear chewing tobacco on the
first day Of the week, commonly
called Sunday.
We are frank to say that we
believe this is going too far and
is too ''blue" for this day and
age of the world.
Mayor Dewey is, in our opin.
ion, making himself appear ridic.
ulous by endeavoring to outfolk
Folk, as we have never heard of
the present governor of this
great state objecting to the sale
of a cigar or :'chaw" of tobacco
at a drugstore, hotel or restau-
rant to a man who had acquired
the habit of smoking or chew.
ing. About the only thing left
for Keytesville smokers and
chewers to do new is to smoke
their meat and "chew the rag"

Bureau County, H., Reunion.

| august 20, 90 IOr-
mer residents of Bureau county.
ILL.,. assembled at the home of
s. L. Osborn, 2 1.2 miles north.
west of Brunswick, to celebrate
their annual reunion. It was a
warm day, yet we all enjoy edour.
selves to the fullest extent. The
forenoon was spent in renewing
acquaintances, some of US not
having seen one another since th
last re- union day and some had
not met for several years. At IL
O'Clock the dinner was carried to
yard and placed on the long
table that Mr.. Osborn had pre-.
viously constructed. We seated
ourselve, and it is needless to saw
that each and ever one did ample
justice to the tempting things
that were placed before us, for
indeed it was a dinner fit for
a king. After dinner we again
engaged in pleasant conversation
until Mrs. Palmer seated herself
at the organ and was surrounded
by those thar volunteered to sing,
and rendered some sacred music.
We then again repaired to the
yard where large tub Of musk
melons awaited US. When we
finished we were filled to the
brim for there was one melon
left. We were then called to
order by President Palmer and
a nice program was carried out.
The first on the program was a
well written book Of conundrums
composed by Miss AIDA Crisman,
Next was an alphates set to
rhyme by Miss Lula Crisman, each
letter standing for some ones
name that was present. Next
there was a comical piece spoken
by Miss Emma Criaman, Mrs,
John Crisman then chall- eng.
ed Mr.. Osborn to make the
first speech that he ever deliv.
cred in public. Mr.. Osborn i'm.
mediately arose and spoke his
piece. Mrs. Crisman also spoke
hers. Both are people aged
about 45 yesrs. Recitations by
little Miss Lois Osborn and Mas.
ter Harlin Crisman followed. Mr..
Osborn also favored us with the
song, "My Father Calls and I
Must Co." in German, and also
comical song entitled, "Three
Thousand Miles Away" Evan
Davies ssng"The National flynn
Of Wales" in the native tongue.
We then cast votes to determine
where the eu-nion should be
held next year. The home of
Daniel Crisman of Keytesville
received the largest number of
votes. About o'clock the
photographer came cut and took
photo of US and, of course, we
all tried to look our prettiest and
We think we succeeded right we'll
for we didn't break the camera.
We then departed for our homes
made happier for having been per.
mitted to spend a day in glad re-.
union with our old acquaint.
ances. Those present were: ].
K. Ober, wife and two daughters
and one son; William Palmer and

locked and that the acetylene
gas cigar lighter, which he leaves

burning all night, was out.
These thinge, together with the
fact that he had been missing
several small articles from the
store, aroused Idr. Herrin g's sus-
picion, but he did not see any
one in the store until he got back
near the prescription case, and
noticed what he believed to be a
man lying at full length on
the floor, with his face down
ward and covered with his
hands behind the counter on
the west side of the storeroom.
Mr.. Herring, upon looking more
closely, was certain that the OBJ.
ject was a man, and he picked
up pint can of paint and hurl.
ed it at the bold intruder's head,
but struck him on the shoulder.
The man thereupon jumped to
his feet, ard, with a double bar
relied shotgun in his hands,
proceeded to make life exceed
ingly shaky for Mr.. Herrin g,
who saw that the intruder was
none other than Jas. Kendall of
Brunswick, who was at one time
in Mr.. Herring's employ as a
jeweler. Kendall told Herring
that he (KendalD had had it in
for him { (Herring) for some time;
that he came to kill him and
was going to do it. Suiting his
action to lis words, Kendall rails
ed the shotgun to his shoulder
and cooked both barrels. Mr..
Mr.. Herring realized that it was
time for him to get on the move
and he managed to keep some
object between himself and
Kendall, at the same time using
all of the eloquence and plead
ing at his command for Kendall
not 10 kill him, at least not until
he had filled a prescription for
very sick woman. Kendall
finally backed out of the store,
but told Herring he was going
to kill him and would surely get
him some other time. 1t is not
definitely known what Kendall's
object was in Herring's store,
but he evidently gained en-.
terance by use of a couple.of keys
of his own make and it is be-
lieved that his purpose was
burglary, and especially to get
whiskey, The case case was
to city marshal Dick Tis-
dale, and he located Kendall at the
residence of his father.i in law, j.
B. Cooper, on East Bridge street
and placed him under arrest
about 7 O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing. The prisoner was escorted
before Justice H. A. Wheeler
who set Kendall's preliminary
trial for next Monday, Septem-
Der IL. His bond was fixed at
$500, but he could not give it
and was committed to jail.
When Tisdale reached the Jail,
Kendall said that he would die
before he would 60 in there, and |
he clinched Tisdale. A hard |
tussle ensued, but Tisdale at last |
succeeded in knocking Kendall
down and choking him so Sc.
verely that he ceased to be
rebellious and was locked in a |
cell. Jim Kendall as a man has
been heretofore we'll thought of,
but unfortunately he has be.
come addicted to excesses in |
strong drink and his conduct of |
Tuesday morning can, we be.
lieve, be attributed to Jim Ken.
dali, the drunkard, and not to
Jim Kendall as a man in his
sober senses. This story is an
awful warning to young men
who are disposed to worship at
'he shrine of liquor fire and dis
;illed damnation.
