one of the best in years. The worl

now well advanced and from the num-
Der Of beds soWn this crop will be a
record breaker. Many cattle are be-

RAISE MUCH TOBACCO
In MONTGOMERY co.

NJ. STERLING, KY, March d
a good deal of blowing has been
done and many tobacco beds sown.
Another good week will see all beds
out in Montgomery county. The crop
promises to be an unusually heavy
one. A good deal will be set cut right
in the city limits, there being at least
thirty acres broken for tobacco cul-
ture within the city. Growers are OPP
timistic about prices, some believing
that a large percentage Of the crop
will be pooled, and others predicting
that smaller crop will be housed
than that planted. One grower has
already sold at 10 cents, and others
have been offered that figure, but
have declined to sell, wanting 1872
cents.
Most of the Equity tobacco has
been shipped and nearly all has been
paid for
Wheat, rye and grass are in good
shape and indications point to an
early start at grazing. Young clover
was not injured to any degree by the
cold and freezes recently, and seems
to have an excellent start.
Hemp breaking continues in all
sections and is proving of good quail
ity. Most Of it is being delivered here
at local warehouse to Paris buyer,
who secured nearly every crop grown
in the county. There will not be much
Of it raised this year.
Gardens are being cleaned and
plowed, and early vegetation is look
ed for, as the soil is in fine condition
for early planting. Lambs are com
ing fast and as the season has been
good, most all were saved, and are in
good, strong, healthy shape. There
have been o number sold at 512 cents
Examination shows that the fruit is
not yet injured, and at the present
time there Is no reason why there
should not be a good crop.

wHITLA GOES HOME
Disappointed, but Not Discouraged,
Over FruitIess Trip to Cleveland.

Disappointed, but Not Discouraged,
Over FrutIess Trip to Cleveland.
Sharon, Pa, March 22.-Weary and
worn and showing in his face the ter
rible strain under which he has been
for the last three days, ]. p. Whitla.
father of Willie Whitla, the kidnapped
boy returned from a fruitless trip to
Cleveland, where he expected TO find
a trace of his missing son. Upon what
information the hope was based was
not given out, but the conference was
held at Mr.. Whitla's Office, after
which Mr. Whitla, Gilbert B. Perkins,
head of a detective agency in Pitts
burg, and B. F. Ward of Philadel-
phia detective agency, left Sharon
without making their destination
known. In fact their departure was
taken so quietly that it was not even
known here that Mr.. Whitla was in
the party. But a few hours was suffi-
cient to convince them that all the
Cleveland clews were false, and sor-
rowfully they returned to the home of
the missing lad where the mother
and sister awaited the news of their
mission.
1--WE know no more now" said Mr..
Whitla, on his return home, than we
did before, and we seem to be no
further along with the search than we
were last night"
And yet in spite of all his efforts
having been in vain so far, Mr.. Whit
la and his family have not given up
hope of recovering the boy. 1t Is the
general belief here that the abduc-
tors, realizing to what an extent the
public is aroused over the kidnapping.
will not dare open up correspondence
with Mr. Whitla at present, but hop
ing that something may divert the
public attention, will then communi-
cate with the father privately and
await his assurance that the whole
matter will be kept quiet till after the
boy has been returned, the reward
paid and they have had time to get
away.
The terrible anxiety and uncertain
ty as to their little sons fate has had
its effect on boSh the parents of the
boy. The father refuses to sleep at
all, and he keeps up through sheer
will power. The mother, who will not
allow her daughter, Salina, out Of her
sight, is showing the effects of the
worry and physicians have given or
ders that she be not allowed to see
any visitors.
The squad Of % of the state con-
stabulary, which arrived here under
Lieutenant John Van vorhis, is I'M
| dergoing an enforced idlenes. Owing
to the state laws prohibiting an arm
ed body of men from one state enter
ing another. the lieutenant will not
allow his men to cross the Ohio line
without permission. He does not rec
ognize the authority given by Judge
B. NJ. wilkins, and is awaiting au-
thority from Governor Harmon OF
| Ohio. In the meantime the men are
| chafing under their inactivity

not communicate with him again.
