MIRIOR OF EVENTS
At HARPERS
REFLECTED BY CUR ALERT CORRESPOND
ENT-TRUCK ASSOCIATION BUSY
NEGRO BOY KILLED.

ers last Saturday and arranged
for securing bean seed, also po-
tatoes, cantaloupe and cucum-
Der seed. Our merchants have
agreed to order the seed at
once. We also had several acres
added to the number pledged
, to be planted. Our farmers are
determined to plant both truck
and tobacco and less cotton. If
your scribe can succeed in get.
ting the farmers to make this
change. l know success will
crown our efforts and your hum
Die scribe will feel amply re-
)aid for his efforts made. With
Jour help, Mr. Editor, our farm
KS will look back to 1909 with
pleasure and profit.
Our town people we're aroused
on last Monday night by the
alarm of tire. One of the dwell
ing houses of Mr. W S Camlln.
Jr, was found to be in a blaze.
The people responded promptly
but the fire vas too far advanced
to save the building. There were
five buildings only a short dis
tance apart, but by the heroic ef,
forts of our good people Mr.
Camlin lost only one house,
partly covered by insurance.
The dead body of a negro boy,
Peter Grayson, was brought to
Harpers last Sunday morning on
the G & W railroad This boy
was accidentally killed by a
"skidder" belonging to the Mar.
ion Lumber Co. He was raised in
our town and came from a good
family of negroes.
Saturday the hum of the Har.
pe.'s Gin Co could be heard in
town. Our farmers are not tn
tlrely through ginning their last
years cotton yet. There have
also been 5 or 6 cars of cotton
seed and 40 or so bales of cot
ton shipped from Harpers the
past week.
The cleaning and cultivating
of farms around town is pro-
crossing nicely. We shall have
in one farm at Harpers this year
500 acres This farm,I have been
informed,will be planted in small
grain and some fruit as we'll.
The owner, Mr. W H Andrews,
told the writer that he would
join our association and plant
as much truck as anyone in the
association. Mr. Andrews farm
will be one of the largest in this
community. A good part OF it is
in town. There are several other
farms of so and 100 acres each
being opened up around here.
Several parties who bought land
last fall from Mr. Edwin Harper
are now putting up buildings on
tlose lands and getting the soil
in shape for cultivation. We
hope to see our modest little
town within IL months grow so
as to attract the attention OF
home seekers. We have the re.
sources and invite and welcome
good people to come and cast
their lot with US.

Nlcaraguan
Has Americans
Shot to Death
Zeleya Gives the Order of Execution
and it is Believed to Have
Been Carried Out.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Two Ameri-
cans. Leonard Grace and Leroy Cannon,
captured while serving with the kevolu-
ZIONIST army in Nicaragua were sentenced
to death by President Zelaya's orders and
it is believed the sentence has been carried
out.
The cruiser Vicksburg has been ordered
to proceed at once to Corinto and the gun
boat Des Moines will go to Port Limon.
The meeting between President Taft and
the new minister from Nicaragua, Isidoro
Hazera, has been indefinitely postponed.
The news as to the two Americans
reached the state department last night
from the American consulate at
Managua and STATED that their capture
hid been FOLLOWED almost immed ately by
a death sentence.
The consul Immediately appealed to Presi-
dent Zelaya to commute their sentences
and his answer was Il will see." Later
on after a further appeal, Zelaya said the
sentence is final"
A dispatch received today at the State
department says the men undoubtedly have
been executed. On this information the
secretary Of state asked the secretary Of
the navy to order the Vicksburg to pro-
coed to Corinto for the purpose of pro-
tecting Americans and Amer. can interests.
The Des Moines was also ordered to Port
Limon at top speed. These vessels will
be in constant communication by wireless
with the State department.
Tho Des Moines is now at Colon, about
$50 miles from Port Limon. which 1t can
reach within ten hours, steaming under
forced draught. The Vicksburg is on the
Pacific coast at San Jose De Guatemala,
nearly zoe miles from the Nicaraguan coast
and win be able to reach Corinto at about
the same time the Des Moine arrives al
Port Limon.
The execution Of the Americans is be-
lIeved to have taken place at or near Eel
Costello, which is in the immediate Vicinity
Of Greytown.
The brutality Of the Nicaraguan govern
ment in ordering the execution OF these
two Americans who happened to be found
In the reyOlutionists' army, without trial of
any sort, Is likely to result In this govern
ment's taking drastic measures.
President Taft upon receipt OF this news
was so ineensed at the action Of President
Zelaya that ne Immediately announced
that he would have no communication
whatever with the new N-icaraguan min
lister and that official was so informed. =
At the Nicaraguan legation II was stated
that no news Of the execution Of two
Americans had been received from the
zelaya government.
