ACKNOWLEDGED THE CORN

The following alleged incident,
from an Iowa paper, illustrates the
fact that merchandise is not the only
stuff that has advanced in price in
recent times Not long ago a farm
er in Iowa went to a harness dealer
to buy a team harness. He found
one that suited, the price being S45.
The farmer happened to remember
that about a dozen years ago he had
bought harness just like it from
the same dealer for S35 and he men
toned the fact. The dealer went to
his books and found it to be true.
But said the dealer, my books
show that you did not pay cash for
it, because you didn't have the
money. You hauled in 800 bushels
Of corn and gave it to me for the S35
harness. Now | will tell you what
| will do. If you are willing to bring
me 300 bushels of corn | will give
you the S45 harness, also a double
buggy harness worth $35, a single
buggy harness worth S15, a plush
robe worth 81, boys riding saddle
worth S., one pair of wool blankets
worth ST. one whip and riding bride
worth $1.50, two leather halters
worth $3.50, brush and curry comb
worth 81 and a rawhide whip worth
ST."

SUNDAy-SCHOOL CONVENTION.

President Goetze's announcement
last week of the Redwood county
Sunday school convention says:
An excellent program is in prep
aration and our state workers, Mr..
A. M. Locker, general secretary,
and Miss Grace Longfellow, superin-
tendent of primary and junior work,
will be with US to instruct, inspire
and arouse enthusiasm in every Sun
day school worker in the county,
who will attend.
THE interest shown in the four
Institutes held in Redwood coun-
ty in March was indeed encour-
aging, twenty-three out of the
thirty schools enrolled being repre-
sented at these meetings. Our
county made a splendid showing at
the state convention and never in
the history of our association has
there been exhibited a more healthy
and vigorous spirit than at the pres
ent time. Each year finds our num-
hers increasing both in schools and
scholars: the teachers and officers
are becoming more efficient and de-
termined, and with a county conven-
ton before US that is sure to do
much good. the season of 1907-08
looks particularly bright. No one
can afford to miss this convention. :"

and not far from the forks OF Caddo
and Sandy creeks
4 report OF the killing was made
this morning by Earnest Lemons and
Isaac Brady and marshals have gone
out to make the arrest of the Patter.
son woman. According to their re.
port 1t seems that Brady held a lease
on some Of Nan Patterson's land and
that he was about to abandon the
land. 1t seems, also. that Nan visit
ed him yesterday with shotgun and
made him relinquish all movable prop
erty, knowing that he was going to
yacate this morning. but there must
have been some other grievance, as
she returned to his house again early
this morning and killed him with a
shot gun.
Both negroes have pretty bad names
especially the negro woman charg-
cd with the killing. Brady has been
before the courts here on charge of
assault 10 kill and at one time is ac.
credited with defying local federal
officers. Nan Patterson. otherwise
known as Nan Day is a notoriously
bad character, having served sen.
