ency: That John Wells charged with
numbering Joe Sanders, in the Circuit
court of Rankin county, Miss, about eleven
(II) years ago at the August term Of said
court by agreement sentenced to imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for life. That
liz has served as such convict for II
years, and has been obedient to orders
and established a good reputation for
convict. That the man he killed had
threatened to kill him and was a DANCE
rous and violent character, and John
Wells had good reason to believe his life
was in deadly perial. We think Wells
has been sufficiently punished under the
circumstances, and therefore pray that he
be pardoned.

GOOD ROADS APOSTLE.


Chas. w. Thatcher, the good roads
apostle, lectured here Tuesday night on
the subject of good roads and presented
great many new ideas. He opened
with Bible reading and prayer, and his
lecture was greatly enjoyed by all who
heard him.
He is on his way to New Orleans and
travels in spring wagon and drives a
pair CT small Spanish mules. He will
return over the same route and will
lecture in this place on his return. He
charges no admission and takes no col
lection. He says he feels that his mis-
sion is to preach the gospel of good roads,
and he is happy only in that work.
His dream is of national highway as
smoothe as a cement walk to connect
at Detroit with che being built across
Canada, and running from there to New
Orleans
He says it would cost no more than one
battleship, and says the government will
construct it if the people will ask for it
He has accomplished great things in the
north and east, and is now turning his
attention to the south. He is from Vir-
GINA.
He regards road building as duty
from a religious standpoint. He said
that bad roads has been greater curse
than all the whiskey that ever was made
A petition is being circulated asking
congress to build the Lakes to the Gull
highway.
He says one could make the trip acros:
the United States in an automobile ii
three days, travelling in day time only

STRAW IN N. D.
TO Be CONSERVED
NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS WILL
SAVE THE BY-PRoDUcT OF
THRESHING.

Minneapolis, Aug. demonstration
of straw is the very latest move in the
conserving line and the farmers of
North Dakota, where threshing is going
on are saving the straw for feed. This
fall will not witness the usual annual
destruction Of the .by-product of the
threshing machines and the straw fires
that used to light the skies will not be
seen. d. F. De Wolf of the chamber
Of commerce has advices indicating
that every scrap of feed in North Da-
kota will have a value this year and
will be saved.
The hay crop of North Dakota, South
Dakota, Minnesota and of that portion
of Wisconsin north of Madison, is
shorter this year than last by consid-
cradle. 49,.
Millet and fodder corn has been
grown On many farms and will help
out; some grain has been cut for feed
and farmers are putting small fanninp
mills into operation on their, farms and
are cleaning wheat taking out screen.
ings and making their own feed. In
this manner the effect OF a short crop
of hay will be partly overcome by the
greater economies than would have
been practiced in a year of bumper
yields.
