who differed with him in private

ever questioned his motives or his

"P. R. W." Reports Good Crops
Around Johnston, William-
son Corn a Success.
Dear Advertiser:

Dear Advertiser:
We spent part
of last week in the pretty little
city Of Johnston and surrounding
country, fuasting our eyes on the
beautiful crops of cotton and
corn that are to be seen on all
sides. We almost fear to tell how
pretty these long straight rows Of
corn and cotton are. for fear some
of our hilly land farmers may be-
come dissatisfied with their rocky
stiff lands and short curving rows,
5ut then,as we return to these bills
and valleys. we see many advan-
tagss, which the sandy land far
mers do not have.
We visited many fine farms
and lovely hjmea on this trip, but
when W. reached the home of
Mr.. w. T. Walton we stopped
short and for awhile looked with
mingled admiration and wonder
on his fine fields of cotton and
corn, and asked ourselves the
question "bow can it bp?' and
answered the question thus: Wal
ton is not afraid to teed his land,
knowing that in return it will
WELD him an abundant harvest
We called at his home, and found
him too busy thrqshlng his lal g
crep of grain to entertain US, out
we were delightfully."- entertained
by Mrs. Walton and her uies
Miss Dorm, and toasted on pea
es and watermelons. Let us say
right here that we have always
been rather skeptica; about the
Williamson plan of raising corn,
but On this occasion our skepticism
vanished. as 1t was demonstrated
in the same fed. the Williamson
plan would yield double the
amount of the old plan.
We visited The home of Mr.. P.
G. Stevens, and was disappointed
in not finding ''little Pierce" "
Mrs. Stevens at home, but we were
welcomed by their daughter Miss
Sarah, and very cordially invited
to dine with her and the chill
dren, which we did. and was de-
Lighted with the charming manner
in which she acted the hostess.
Why do not We all train our chill
dren in. the ar! Of entertaining
visitors in the home and thereby
save G lot pfS:sm barrassment to
both. Wesspent a pleasant after
noon witbsMr.. w. P. Johnson and
family, who knowsjust how TO
make one enjoy every moment
spent with them. Mr.. Johnson's
crop is fine and every thing de-
notes peace and prosperity. W.
visited many other homes and
sew many fine farms in this God
favored community. Space will
not admit of going into details.
The grand climax to the weeks
travels was the good citizens
meeting and picnic held at Har,
mony on Friday, but I shrink
from the task of describing this
great occasion. knowing that abler
pens than mine will give an ac-
count Of this great meeting. Twill
say that I never listened to better
speeches, saw a more bountiful
dinner or witnessed more order
ly crowd. At the close of the
speaking, we were constrained to
say that we had made one long
grand stride in the cause of tenn
perance and good citizenship.

The Advertiser is pleased to see-
that the Farmers Union is work
ing along the right line in pro-
vlding cotton goods instead of
jute bsgging to cover their bales
of cotton. In this way they will
increase the demand right at
home for their own product. 1t is
reported that the officers of the
Farmers Union of Mississippi
have contracted for 14,00O,OO0
yards of cotton bagging which is
enough to cover 100000 bales.
If farmers over the entire cotton
belt would use cotton bagging,
they could thus consume huns
dreds of thousands of bales of
their own product instead,of send
ing the money abroad for jute.

all this meant. 1t developed that the
party was composed of people living at
EndicOtt and vicinity, who conceived the
idea. as they had business at the county
seat and plenty OF time to spare, to bring
shOvels along and do little missionary
work on the public highway, such as fill
ing in ruts at divers places, levelng few
spots and mending several crossings,
which they did at no expense to the
county and with little loss of time. This
is patriotism in the right direction, which
we hope to see initiated by Others in all
parts OF the county. No greater blessing
can befall a community than having
good roads. 1t interests all classes of
people, and instead Of complaining it
would not hurt the best OF us to grab
shovel once in awhile and DO a little
work on the roads.

that he had no pistol on his person at
the commencement of the fracas, but

himself from further assault he fired the

dead in his tracks, even so close to Smith
as to leave a stain Of blood on the lat
ter's pants.
Smith was placed under arrest by City
Marshal Canutt of TekOa and the officials
here notified. Prosecuting Attorney Kipp,
Coroner Crawford and Deputy Sheriff
Dickinson went to TekOa Wednesday
morning, where an inquest was held. The

blame, but for several reasons it was de-

him in Jail, where ne remains. No charge
will probably be made against him.
