CENTER POINT.
October 27

The health of this section is good now after having some sickness.
 The gathering of the crops is thing of the past. The people are now sowing wheat and turf oats. Rye is up and green Some are clearing up land SO they can go to blowing when it rains.
 Beef is getting scarce and hog meat is out of sight, SO we have to turn to other edibles.
 The woods are full of wild meat such as possum and rabbits, and as we are a shifty people, we don't hear much complaint.
 Good horse and mule colts are in much demand here and they fetch fine prices.
 There is not much cotton, but the people have some money all the same.

Accustom itself to the news that Dr..
Cook had discovered the north pole
when it was startled by the telegraph
ic announcement that Peary, the vet

the same feat. Peary's message doubt

that Cook had reported his discovery.
A little message of seven words
flashed by wireless from the coast of
Labrador to the New York news bu-
reaus at noon Monday made Com
mander Robert e. Peary, the second
American citizen within five days to
report to an %astounded world the dis
covery Of the North Pole. Later ad-
vices showed that Commander Peary
had reached the pole on April 6, 1909
one year, lacking fifteen days, aftet
DR.. Frederick A. Cook had achieved
the same prize.
The brief and thrilling message
which conveyed the first tldings OF
Peary's. feat was dated from Indian
Harbor, via Cape Race, Newfoundland,
and read:

SailoAr on the Bradley Credits ENpIor-
cr's Story.
Some interesting statements con-
corning DR.. Frederick A. Cooks dash
to the pole were made by Mtchae
Wise, a seaman IN the schooner Adj
miral Dewey, which arrived in port
at Gloucester, Mass. after an extend
ed fishing trip In northern waters.
Wise, who was mate on the John R.
Bradley, which carried Cooks expedi-
ton. says he was the man picked by
the explorer to accompany him on the
final dash after leaving Etah. Wise,
however, declined. preferring his reg
ular compensation as a anna on a
fishing schooner to the honor and
glory promised by DIR. Cook.
Wise said he had no doubt that DR..
Cook was the first man to reach the
north pole, and added that any one
who knew the explorer would not ques-
ton the truth Of his statements. "The
expedition was one of the best fitted
that ever left for the NORTH said

Agricultural bureau Head FindA
Soil Is Not Wearing Out.
Soils of the United States are not
wearing out and the crop yields are in
creasing rather than decreasing. These
facts are demonstrated in a bulletin
shortly to be issued by the bureau OF
soils of the agricultural department in
Washington, prepared by Professor
Milton Whitney, chief of the bureau.
The bulletin deals eXhaustively with
the yields of crops from 1867 to 1906
inclusive. I'VE are producing more
crops per acre than formerly" said
Professor Whitney. This is undoubt-
eddy due to better and more intelligent
cultivation, more and better systems
of rotation of crops and in later years
to the Intelligent use Of fertilizers
through measures of control in the
hands of every individual farmer"

RAILWAY KING DEAD.
Il. II. Hartman Closes Life at His HILL
top Home.

Edward II. Hartman, the greatest
organizer of railroads the world has
ever known, met the only lasting de-
feat of his active life Thursday at the
hands of death. Secluded in his mag
nificent home on Tower hill. near Ar
den, n. Y, surrounded by members or
his family, physicians and nurses, he
~succumbed to an intestinal disorder
after a fight against the disease which
will rank for sheer grit with his re-
markable struggles in the financial
world. The exact time of his death is
known only to that limited circle OF
relatives and associates who had so
effectively shielded Mr.. Hartman
from all outside annoyances during his
last llncss. The time was given to
the world as 3:35 p. m, but Mrs. Mary
Simans, sister of the dead man, said
that the end had come at 1880 p. m,
more tina Two hours previous. Wheth-
er this apparent discrepancy has any
bearing on the current belief that eV-
| cry effort was made to lessen the intu-
ence of the ~financier's death in the
New York stock market is p~roblemati-
cal. But it is significant that the time
Of his death as officially
was just ~thirty-fve minute after trad
ing had ceased on the exchange in New
York. Mr.. Hartman died peacefully,
and to the end his brilliant mind re-
tanned it's activity.
Though Mr.. Hartman is dead his
tremendous interests will be carried
! on without interruption. SO firm IS
the foundation of his great construc-
tive work in the railroad world and so
thoroughly organized are his varied
interests tina no fear is felt in he
financial world.
