Those who live until next spring will
witness one of the grandest sights
their eyes ever looked upon in the
heavens. Hallay's comet will be due
then and can be seen with the naked
eyes,. This wonderful heavenly body
has not appeared since 1885, rs years
ago, and will not be seen again for
IL many years. Astronomers tell US
this great flaming star will, when
its full glory next May, span the
eavens from horizon to horizon, cover
ing 100 degrees Of celestial territory
and will stand out like great living
thing of fire.

Farmers Club.

1t is not my purpose to harass any
one or to become annoying to the pub
lie in an attempt to accomplish results
on any line, but the Importance Of a
better system of farming and the me-
cessity of larger yield in Adair county
unquestionably is plain fact to all.
To aid in any movement that tends to
such an end ought to be the pride of
every good citizen and especially to
those who are believers in advancement.
Several efforts, promoted by the State,
have failed to create ripple as large
as rye straw, and the same old meth
DDS are employed and the same kinds of
harvests reaped. Believing that some
Improvement and some enthusiasm
could be produced by organizing a
Farmers Club and offering good premi-
ums for the best yields of wheat, on a
certain number of acres, submitted a
proposition some time ago and asked
membership to the extent of one hun
dred at one dollar each. have person
ally presented that proposition to many
of our best farmers and asked them to
take membership but to date only about
thirty-five have agreed to join.
Several in different parts of the
county agreed to solicit for member
ship and to report to me the names and
addresses but no reports have been
received. That the proposition will fail
can hardly be doubted unless some
active members get busy and keep busy
for the next few weeks. Nearly every
one to whom the proposition has been
mentioned readily replied that it is a
good move and they hoped to see it
succeed. Still the same people are not
willing to risk one d ollar or two hours
effort to bring into existence move
ment to stir up frindly, and healthy
rivalry. No one man can, without CIV
ing large part of his time, make it a
success, and while believe great good
would result from such an organiza-
ton, yet | am not in position to give
more of my time unless others actively
join in the work. If less than one
hundred dollars will not make the
premiums attractive nor diversity the
contest to the extent of a healthy.
vigorous proposition. The premiums
can not be secured unless we get the
members. But little time is left for
completing the organization before
seeding time, so if you want to see a
good organization of farmers contest
ing for some nice premiums you should
get to work and help bring it into ex-
istence. l am willing to do my part in
this matter but not inclined to take the
entire load. If one hundred names are
not secured by the 10th, of this month,
so far as am concerned it can pass
and be known as failure. The pro-
position as | submitted it is that a
premium of $25 be given the one who
produced the most wheat on two acres,
$25 for the most on five acres, S25 for
the most on ten acres and $25 for the
most wheat produced by any one men,
Der. One hundred members must be
secured if this proposition goes. Each
one must pay $1.OO on or before May
the 1st 1910.
1t you believe it would be worth its
cost you are solicited to ioin hv. oivino
your name and address. There is no
time to lose if it succeeds. So make
up your mind at once If you believe it
a good move then see some of your
friends and get them to join and enter
the contest. Respectfully,
c.. S. Harris.

REV. A. R. KASEY.
he EntertainS The Male Members
Of His Congregation and a Few
Other Special Friends.
LADIES OF THE CHURCH REMEMBER HIM

Last Friday evening Rev. A. R.
Kasey, who has been the pastor of the
Methodist Church, this place, for near
iy four years, entertained large num-
Der of the male members of his Church,
and few outsiders, at the Lindsey
Wilson. Invitations were extended to
the entire male membership of his con-
gregation, but many live out of town
and were not present.
The opening of this gathering was in
the chapel, and after Rev. Kasey stated
the object of the coming together, Gov.
j. r. Hindman was invited to take
charge of the meeting. He made
short speech closing it with very seri-
GUS words. He stated that the assem-
bly, was a reminder that Bro. Kasey
was soon to leave us, statement he
very much regretted to make. and he
felt sure that every member of the
Church and this entire community felt
as he did. After speaking of Bro.
Kasey's ability as preacher, his close
walk with God and his usefulness as a
citizen, he offered the following reso-
buttons:
Resolved: That we deeply regret that
the fourth and last year of our beloved
pastor. A. R. Kasey. is nearing its
close. 1t is with sorrowful hearts that
we think of the time to say goodbye.
The services of Bro. Kasey to us IS a
church and community have been of al
most inestimable value. AS preacher
he ranks among the ablest and best,
as pastor he has been faithful to his
flock and as citizen and neighbor he
always found time to fulfill all obhga-
tions.
We can scarcely find language to ex-
press the genuine sorrow we feel in
knowing that he must leave US.
The parting makes us sad. For
Brother Kasey we bespeak place in
some fine community where the people,
we are sure, will love him, and appre-
! ciate him, for his ability as a preach
er, his faithfulness as pastor, his
character as man, his amiability and
kindness as neighbor, and good sense
IS citizen.
Nor would we forget to express our
appreciation of his family whom we
have learned to love- Z
Before the adoption of the resolu-
tons the following speakers in short
talks, paid high compliments to the
pastor, all regretting that he was soon
to take his departure: Mr.. F. R. Win
frey, Rev. T. L Hulse, Rev. J, R.
Crawford, Judge T. A. Murrell and Mr..
Rollin Hurt.
At the close of the last address the
guests repaired to the spacious Dining
hall where ladies of the Church served
ice cream and cake, which were very
much enjoyed. Before leaving the hall
Prof. P. D. Nelson arose and informed
\ the guests it was his time to speak.
Then in few touching words he pre-.
scented Bro. Kasey beautiful solid
Sgold Knights Templar watch charm a
gift from the ladies of the Church.
Bro. Kasey was taken wholly by sur
prise, and his remarks in accepting it
showed that he was much affected and
that the gift was highly appreciated.
The guest then withdrew and left for
their respective homes, feeling glad
that they had been present on such an
enjoyable occasion, though reminder
