Wanted to Vote for o Deaf and Dumb
Man.

The man who will be the next Gov
ernor of Georgia didn't make a
speech during the campaign, and this
reminds the writer of little incident
said to have happened at Tarboro a
few days ago. Mr.. Horne, one of the
Democratic candidates for Governor
in this State, was in the courthouse
talking with a friend when a farmer
came in. Mr.. Horne was introduced
to the farmer and later asked the
farmer if he would vote for him.
The farmer told Mr.. Horne that he
understood he did not make speech
es and that he would vote for him,
but added that he would much prefer
to vote for a deaf and dumb man.

PlOwed Twenty-Acre Field With
One FurrOw.

David Raglan, of Meat Camp, has
just finished blowing and planting
field containing twenty acres, the
entire field having been plowed in
pretty knoll and was plowed with a
No. 20 Oliver Chilled pillow, drawn by
three horses abreast. The first round
was three-fourths of mile in length,
and round after round was made day
after day until the job was complete
ed, only one furrOW was run. This
strikes us as rather out of the COM

around us.-UniOn Republican.

CENTRAL CITY, Neb., July 12.-(spe-
~cial)-For the second time within a year
the massive dam which was being con-
structed by c. A. Sitter at Ericsson was
destroyed this week. Last summer. while
the dam was nearing completion, It gave
way before a rush of water occasioned by
a cloudburst which came in the night and
did its destructive work before the flood
gates could be opened. Undismayed, Mr..
Sitter resolved to try again. He was as
sured by expert engineers that the plan
was feasible and that a dam could be built
that would be ~impregnsble to any flood
by a special adjustment of floodgates.
Money for the enterprise was raised by
selling lots for summer cottages on tho
shores of the lake. and it seemed that his
plan for making Ericsson a popular fishing
and hunting resort would bear fruit. 1t was
certain that sportsmen from ell over the
state would be attracted and il seemed
that Nebraska would have one good live
summer resort. Blu the flood which swept
