WON BY A PLACE KICK
Wentworth Had a Hard Time Defeating
the WashbHrn Second Team.


Another victory was added to
Wentworth's football record for 1908
Monday afternoon, when the cadets
defeated the second team of Wash
burn college by a score of 4 to 0. The
only count was made by Owens, who
negotiated a place kick six minutes
after the first whistle blew. Went
worth was clearly the better team
in regard to ability and condition,
but still the red and white had a close
call. This was due to the exceedingly
poor handling of punts by Hillix and
the seemingly biased decisions Of
Hope, a Washburn graduate
who umpired. Hope gained
more ground for the Wasburn team
than did the eleven players. He
called five penalties, all against
Wentworth and four of them at
times when his team badly needed a
few yards.
The most unfortunate feature of
the game was the injury of Wilson,
Wentworth's star center. Early in
the second half he was caught I'M
scrimmage and his leg was broken
just above the ankle. That puts him
out of the game for the rest of the
year. He was one of the best men on
the team and his loss weakens the
the line considerably.
The defense of the cadets was as
usual superb, even though part of the
lineup consisted of substitutes. The
two Cooks, Owens and Wyatt gained
most of the ground. Where the Topek-
ans gained was on punts. Walworth
frequently after punting recovered
the ball.
The cadets started off with a rush.
Owens kicked off tn Alamo on Waeh-
burns twenty-six yard line and ne re-
turned it five yards. Walworth made
four yards and then punted, Cook
: brought the ball to the 3O-yard line

Crawford failed to gain in two at

which fell short. Washburn punted

brought the ball back to the l6.yarC
6 line. Cook II gained 5 yards anC

A Lifelong Friend Pays Tribute to
Her Memory.
Mrs. Celia Thomas THOMPSON was
born in the good old county of Lau-
rens, the home of Generals David
Blackshear and Andy Hampton and
Governor George M. Troupe, July
20, 1898, and departed this life in
Dawson on May 10, 1908, aged 81
years, 8 months and 20 days. Her
father, Mr.. o. G. Thomas, removed
from Laurens county to Randolph
county in 1910, and settled near
where Rehoboth church now stands,
and was clerk Of the first church Or
ganized at that place. My father
came to this section in 1874, and set
tied near the old place, Miss Celia

attended the school at old Rehoboth
academy together, and were more
like brother and sister than other
wise. Mr.. o. G. Thomas removed to
the eighth district of Randolph, now
Quitman county, and settled where
Morris Station now is; was the first
tax collector of Quitman county, and
for more than twenty years was rail-
road agent at Morris station. Miss
Celia and Miss. Nancy Thompson
were boarding at my fathers when
he died Nov. 8, 1884, and wept with
me over my father, one of the best
and grandest men | ever saw. Miss
Celia was married to Mr.. F. G.
Thompson or Quitman county Octo-
Der 20, 1875, and was a member of
the Methodist church at Graves Sta
ton at the time of her death.

to have human partner, but as l
feared | couldn't get the partnership
papers without an associate of one
kind or another l selected my dog
There's no law against a man form

Tassels is a pretty good partner. One
thing about him is that he's dead

did. Our partnership arrangement
went through the county clerks Of
flee all right. George Warren, as a
notary public, attested our sigma
lures, and the county clerk issued
our certificate. 1t cost me thirty-five
cents extra to have Tassels made a
business man."
The partnership application, duly
recorded, describes the Co. of the
firm as "Weiler's fox terrier Tas-
sells, and the nature of the business
as Daily opening of our office with
prayer and roasting all the fish that
come into our nets during the day."
That part about roasting is only a
joke. Weller is a real estate and
insurance man. On the window of
his Office is the legend: The Interna-

Every business morning Tassels
ceases to be fox terrier and be-
comes Mr.. Co., which personality he
retains until o'clock. Weller opens
the day with prayer, during which
little Mr. Co. sits"on his launches,
wisely attentive. Then the senior
partner goes out, doubtless to inspect
the two blocks of tenement houses
near the Office of which the firm has
the agency. Promptly at o'clock
Co. trOts back to the office and goes
home with his partner, there to be-
come Tassels until o'clock on the
next weekday morning. Weller
keeps a strict account of the dogs
share of the profits, most of which
Tassels takes out in chicken bones.

1000 ACRES OF MELONS
Florida Truckers Have Also Gone in
For Cucumbers on a Large
Scale. Many CantelOupes.

According to reports received in
Pensacola from all sections between
Pensacola and River Junction, ter
ritOry traversed by the P. & A. di-
vision of the Louisville & Nashville,
more than 700 acres have been
planted by truck farmers in water
melons, the largest acreage ever
known to have been planted in that
section of the state.
In addition, seventy-hve acres
have been planted in cucumbers and
fifty acres in cantelOupes, and it is
expected from recent reports that the
yields will be large, owing to the fact
that the weather has been favorable
during the early season.
Last year 600 acres were planted
in watermelons in that section, and
the yields were not only large, but
profitable, and this has caused many
planters to decrease the acreage Of
other crops and plant watermelons.
The growing of cucumbers is a
new venture with the truck farmers
adjacent to Pensacola, but it is be-
lieved will be a profitable crop.

DOG AS A LEGAL PARTNER
HIS MASTER GIVES HIM AN IN.
TEREST IN HIS BUSINESS.
Papers Are Legally Drawn Up and
Officially Recorded. Co Is His
Title In Firm Name.

A Newark, N. J. dispatch to the
New York Press says:
Business here is going to the
dogs At least, a little of it is 60
ing to one dog, whose name is
Co., though they call MIN Tassels for
short But they may call him what
they like, his name is Co., for that
IS the way it stands in the only legal
paper in which he ever has been men
toned, with the exception of his IL
cense to be a dog. The paper is the
partnership certificate of F. M. We'll
er & Co., and Tassels is the Co. His
master, F. NJ. Weller, chose him as
partner in preference to any man
Of his acquaintance. Weller agrees
with Carlyle or whatever other
crouch it was who said, THE more
l see of men the fonder l am of
dogs" He does, at any rate, as far
as business is concerned. So it was
that Tassels, by due legal process,
became entitled to call himself Mr..
Co. He is a fox terrier, but not in
a class with Ouida's Puck, who wrote
pathetically, Il am only dog"
Tassels is more than a dog; he's a
business man. Must be a good bust
ness man, too, for Weller said today
ne found Tassels highly satisfac-
tory partner, -AorOughly fitted to up
hold the dignity of the great Co.
family.
Tassels could not be questioned
concerning his commercial activity

man of the old school and never talks
businesses on Sunday. Besides, he
was IN his masters home, No. 568
