Frontiersmen, cowboys and fancy
riders and ropes from all over the west
gathered here Tor the event. Men from
the 1o1 ranch in Oklahoma and the
famous Pigpen ranch in Grant county,
Kan, met Colorado and Arizona ex-
perts in roping riding and busting"
Wild longhorns from the Panhandle
of Texas were ridden. The famous
.'Klondyke funeral wagon" which has
killed several riders. was successfully
handled by the Pigpen foreman. Trick

run, cattle lassoed and some of ''Buf-
falo'' Jones' buffalo were hunted. Wild
mule riding was another feature.
The show will continue today Hun

Dr.. S. w. Robinson.

DR.. S. w. VAN Robinson
died Friday evening Nov. 9th, at
his home near Pisgah, and his
remains were carried to Fannin
for interment Saturday morning.
While not a native of this state
he had resided in this county
nearly all his life. He had bare
~ commenced the practice of
medicine when the civil war be-
gan. He enlisted among the
first and served valiantly to the
end, for while a prisoner in one
of the northern prisons, he not
only spurned himself the offer to
enlist under the federal flag to
fight Indians in the west, but
was instrumental in inducing
others to bear the hardships Of
prison life, rather than to be
untrue to the south. He also did
valuable service as physician to
the men there, and throughout
the war ministered to the suffer-
ing. He acted as assistant sur
geon but refused a regular ap-
pointment as such.
Since the war he has given his
time and often money to those in
need of a doctors care. No ques-
ton of pay ever entered his mind
when one was sick. He served
as a member Of the legislature
from this county and was also a
delegate from Rankin to the Con-
stitutional Convention Of 1890.
His II years from childhood were
spent more for the comfort Of
Others than for himself. His
surviving war comrades Of Com
pany G. 18th Mississippi Regi-
ment, Armstrong; Brigade, will
learn with deep regret of his
death, for they all loved him.
"A few years ago he and his
wife celebrated their golden we'd
ding. He leaves a large family
of children and grand children.

there are many points that will assist

vent disappointment as rule Remem-
Der that COW Is machine and is In
tended TO change the different products
on which she Is fed into something
of more value. There are two distinct
types Of these machines. One manufac-
lures or converts feed into beef; the
other into milk. There is a very de-
cided and pronounced difference in the
type of the animal that makes beef,
and the one which manufactures milk.
In the dairy type we have an animal
that Is angular, thin, somewhat loose
tointed and with prominent bones. She
Is wedge-shaped from the front with
lean head, moderately long face
slightly 6ished and a general contented
expression Of the features. The muz-
zle is large, mouth large, nostrlls wide
and open. clear. full bright eye,
broad, full and high forehead, ears me-

fine hair and orange yellow inside. The
neck Is thin, moderately long with lit

made the toy of a monster. But under
Jerome's severe DISCRIMINATION she
dropped the mes.~. of girllsh innocence
which she had WSrn when sailing on
the smooth waters of direct examina-
ton. She revealed herself as shr6wd
woman of the world. at times more
than Il match for her questioner.
she told how, when he had learned
of her relations with White Thaw
said: Poor little girl, you have done
no wrong" And yet, she was forced
to admit. that within two weeks he
made her his companion and started ON
tour of Europe which lasted for
months. during all of which time they
Travelled as man and wife
Jerome also forced her to admit
Whites kindness to her, his sending
her to school. his paying her surgeons
bill, and his furnishing both her and
her mother With money. She also adj
United that White gave her and her
mother money With which to go to Eai-
rope. and that once there she went di-
rect to Harry ThaN's quarters
Evelyn told her story much as she
did year ago. leaving out some of
the most indecent details and sdding
a few more incidents Mrs. Thaw had
a remarkably clear recollection as to
what she had testified TO a year ago.
Jerome confronted her with hundreds
of the statements made then. in the
rope of confusing her or leading her
into contradictions. but she adhered TO
her story in every detail
Thaw heard his wife's story with
mingled feelings of jog ami sorrow. At
times he put his handkerchief to his
eyes and wept. At other moments he
smiled with satisfaction that seemed
to have almost touch of pride. Sew
erai times he wagged his head at his
wife in way that caused jerome to
believe that lie was trying TO prompt
her.
Other witnesses called after the con-
elusion OF Eveiyn's story brought out
nothing in particular beyond what was
developed ., the former trial.

selected, which is the time when eggA
are least abundant and the cost is the
highest The whole matter depends on
the success with which the flock is kept
laying. The results showed all the way
from a profit Of $40 to loss of $50 for
each lot OF one hundred fowls
1t IS commonly supposed that the
largest birds are the best winter Law
ers, but some of the best results in
these contests were given by White
Leghorns. 1t should be noted In this
connection that when hens are forced
by meat and other stimulating foods to
lay well in winter they do not lay so
many eggs in the following spring and
summer. Hence when eggs are wanted
TO sell for Matching it pays better TO
let the flock rest in winter and be ready
to produce all the eggs possible during
the Matching season, but for production
of market eggs it is better to give slim
ulating foods In winter and obtain as
many eggs as possible from November
10 March. Most Of the eggs during that
period will come from the early hatch
ed pullets and from the hens that have
gone through Their moult early.
