HARPERS HAPPENINGS.
Trial of Georgetown RapiSt as Viewed
by Eye WitneSS-LOCal Notes.

Haspers, August 2:-The writer
attended the trial of the negro, ,Jenk-
ins, the attempted rapist, in George
town on the 9th ult. One of the
largest crowds was present that |
have ever seen at any court or coun-
ty seat. 1t was estimated at 1000
people. While good order prevailed
during the entire trial, when the
criminal was brought into the court
room some little excitement was ev-
ident. Everyone present was anxious
to see the brute. During the state
ment the young lady made to the
jury every person in the court room
was shedding tears freely. For this
brute to die on the gallows does not
suffce for this crime. 1t is beyond
my ability to make pen picture of
what this brave young lady's expert
ence was fighting for life with this
fiend for 40 or so minutes, with no
one near to call on for help, not even
her pupil, who was ordered by the
monster to flee for her life.
This is the first trial of the kird |
have ever attended and to hear such
a trial will make a white man have
feelings which can't be suppressed.
After the case was given to the jury
it was decided aud the negro found
guilty within five minutes. The
following sentence was passed on
Jenkins at once by Judge John S
Wilson: "You, John Jenkins, on
the 18th day of August shall hang
by the neck until you are dead. May
God have mercy ou your SOUL" l
think such hanging should be done
in public and have as many negroes
present as possible.
Our community was visited last
Wednesday, the 2sth ult, by a very
heavy rainfall and high winds and
hail, causing some damage to the
crops generally.
The young people of Harpers had
the pleasure of attending a moon
light picnic at the home of Mr. and
Mrs w A Moore on Thursday
night, July 20. All reports indicate
a fine time for all who attended. MIR
Moore is a successful farmer and
one of the best men of this commu-
nifty. He reports having some as fine
corn as can be seen in the lower part
of this county. Farmers generally
have as fire crops as have ever been
produced in this community and all
have the smile of prosperity on their
faces and are awaiting the golden
harvest.

few peaches are the bill of fare at

The Only Place to Live

Roger w. Hulburd, life long resi-
dent, and well known lawyer of Hyde
Park, forsook his native town for the
lure of the city and moved to Burling-
ton a year ago Now comes the re-
port that he will go back to his for
mer home. This is a case where the
special attractions and opportunities
of the city did not prove congenial.
The life and contentment of the small
town or rural community is far hap
pier especially in lifelong environ
ment and nearness to nature than all
the city can er"-Hardwic Gaz-
ette
Well, twas ever thus, God made the
country, but man made the town.
And man has made just the same mess
of the town that he does every time
he tries TO improve on the work OF the
Almighty. theoretically there are
many social uplifts possible in life in
a large community. Practically there
are some. But they are largely such
uplifts as the contemporary evils OF
the community make necessary or de-
sirable, and hence do not put society
ahead very much as a net gain. The
city has much 10 commend ii to the
ambitious young man and it is true,
of course, that to some men with
some natural gifts and temperamental
qualifications it is about the only
workshop where they can achieve
their greatest usefulness.
But, after all. the majority OF the
wise men and philosophers in all the
ages since men began TO dwell in fix
ed abodes have come to the conclus-
ion that life was more happily passed
among the green fields and wholesome
social calm of the restful countryside
than in the neighborless brick lanes
and the greedy clamor of the metrop-
oils. And pretty much all of the
worlds best thought thus far has
come up from the minds and hearts Of
men that were dreaming and study
ing, thinking and working, in the quiz
ct of the little village home. Some
time they go out into the great busy
world to do great things that they
have been perhaps uuconsciously pre-
pairing for in their country life, nut
more ,han often they do nc. But
the city would perish of its own moral
rottenness in comparatively short Or
der if it were not for the constant ac-
cession of fresh minds and clean
lives that do go up to it every year
to pay their toll to the greed of com.
merce or to mans deep-seated social
instinct-St. Adams Messenger.

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats. 1t stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than If
fed on almost any other kind Of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. IL addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with or
without china dishes. "a

COLLINS oUTPlTcHED "sle SIX"
Young vermonter Put It All Over the
Giants Pet Star.

In speaking of the Boston-NeV
York game at Boston Wednesday the
New York American had the follow
ing to say of the pitching of Ray Col
Inns formerly of the Vermont univer
sity team and who pitched for Ben
nington early in the season:
Collins, one of the youngest and
rawest of Fred Lakes pitching re-
cruits, outpitched the great Mathew
son at every angle of the game today.
Matty wasn't at his worst either 1t
took pitching such as Collins showed
to rob the National Leagues champ
ion of his own. The Red Sox kid
however, was just a shade better than
the master today. He let down the
Giants with four scattered hits, and
as he was quite steady the visitors
never had a good opportunity TO
score But six of McGraw's men got
on the bases and all of them were
left
But for iris Speaker, Collins would
have had much more difficult task
in taking the measure OF Mathewson
The great center fielder of the Red
Sox not only proved instrumental in
scoring both runs on Matty, but as
sured a shutout for his pitcher by cap
turing two line drives in the ninth in
ming in sensational style. His hit in
the first inning, after two were out
broke the ice for Boston, as Stahl fol-
lowed with a timely triple. In the
eighth Speaker assured victory by
hitting home Collins from second
base.

BURN INFECTED FRUIT BOXES
All Packages in Which Product Ia
Imported are Suspected.

The Montana State Board of Horti-
culture, through Inspector at Large M.
L. Dean, has instituted campaign for
the strict enforcement of the law to
prevent the spread of fruit pests by
the circulation of boxes and other
packages in which the infected prod
uct is shipped from other sections.
Attention is being called to the fact
that merchants of various localities
in the state are violating the law by
sending out to ranches eggs, groceries
and merchandise in empty fruit crates
and boxes. This is declared to be
very easy way to spread diseases and
scatter the troublesome insects.
Inspector Dean expresses the hope
that merchants will destroy all fruit
packages and not allow the valuable
fruit interests of Montana to be jeop-
ardized by the possibility of such care.

Exhibits win be made at the con.
gress by five western states and also
northwestern Canada. The competi-
ton for prizes will be the keenest this
year I believe that it has ever been,
and my personal belief is that Mon
tana will take at least Is per cent of
the prizes. Our state took away two
thirds of the prizes at the last con-
gress, which was held at Cheyenne,

throughout the state in the congress
will continue and that all interested
in the work will continue their efforts

done I am sure Montana will make
