not see a deep swing hole directly in

into 1t, allghting in a pile of broken
glass. His right arm and leg were
badly sprained and numerous lacera.

PLEASING
Entertainment Given By The
Chicago GIee Club

The last number of the season of
the High School lecture course was
given in the high school auditorium
Tuesday evening. The entertainment
was furnished by the celebrated Chi
cago Glee Club which has a fine
reputation all over the country. In
spite of the threatening weather, the
room was almost filled before the first
number was announced. This was a
very successful finish for the lecture
course which has been a thoroughly
good one from the start to the finish,
every entertainment being extremely
interesting and highly appreciated by
everyone who attended. This season
has been so encouraging that 1t Is
very probable that a great effort will
be made to secure course Of enter
tainment for the next, year that will
If possible. excel that of this year.
The Chicago Glee Club is composed
of only four singers who evidently
have almost reached the mark of per-
lection in harmony and melody Each
part was excellently rendered, the
first and second tenors and the first
and second basses all blending In one
making the most inspiring harmony
imaginable. Besides this, the solo
work was pleasing in the extreme
The bass was the feature Of the enter
tainment. Seldom is a bass of such
merit heard in Mt. Veronn and those
who heard him should consider the
fact that they have had the opportun
ity to hear something out Of the ordi
nary
The trombone quartet work was
feature as 1t was practically new II
this city and judging from the storm
Of applause given on Tuesday even
ing, 1t was much appreciated.
The character acting vas very en-
tertaining, the idea of the plot bein
taken from the rustic Indiana Hoosiei
In all it was probably the most pleas
ing entertainment of the season.

from Monroeville about nine months
ago and was for time stenographer
in the Office OF the Ideal Electric COM

She made arrangements to secure
board and room at the Hardgrove

Report Shows The Wheat In
Good Condition
In Ohio As Well As Most OF
The Other Crops
Summary Showing Condition
Up To Present Time

of the Ohio Department Of Agriculture
on the condition of crops April /
Increase the Yield
Average Ohio wheat yield per acre:
Southern section, IL bushels.
Central section, IA bushels.
Northern section, 16 bushels.
State average, IA bushels.
Possible state average, 30 bushels.
The following report, computed from
returns received from returns receiv-
ed from the official crop and live stock
correspondents of the department, in
dicates the condition Of wheat and
other crops:
Wheat
Condition compared with standard
average, SO per cent.
Crop OF 1909 still in producers
hands, 16 per cent.
Weeks OF snow protection, s.
Winter Barley
Condition compared with standard
average, SO per cent.
Rye
Condition compared with standard
average, 8S per cent.
Corn
Condition in crib compared with
standard average, 95 per cent.
Remained unhusked during winter,
10 per cent.
Damage to unhusked during winter,
IL per cent.
Damage to fodder during winter, %
per cent.
Fruit
Prospect compared with normal
yield, 80 per cent.
Buds winter-killed, per cent.
No Calamity in 1910 Wheat Crop
Official correspondents of this De-
partment estimate the present condi-
tion of the growing wheat plant at
S3 per cent compared with standard
average. This Is decline in con-
dition of 10 per cent since the issu-
ance of the last report, December 1st
In comparison with condition on cor
responding date last year it shows an
advance of 81 per cent. Seeding gen.
orally was late, and fear was express
ed that an early winter would cause
serious damage. The plant, however,
made remarkable growth during the
month of November, and went into
winter in fine condition. Throughout
the severe weather 1t was well pro.
tected by a heavy covering Of snow,
and while few correspondents note
damage by ice covering the fields aft
er the disappearance of the snow, its
decline in condition Is attributed
chiefly to the extreme drouth pre-
vailing during the past month. The
plant is suffering badly for want of
moisture, and warm rains during April
would greatly improve it's appearance.
OF the harvest of 1909, it is estimated
that 16 per cent of the crop remains
in producers hands.
Winter barley and rye show the
|
same growing condition-SS per cent
compared with an average.
The condition of corn in the crib
is estimated at 95 per cent compared
with an average. Ten per cent of the
crop remained unhusked during the
winter, and 1t is estimated that this
suffered damage to the extent of Il
per cent.
Fruit prospects are excellent, being
estimated at 80 per cent compared
with an average.
Farm work generally is well ad
vanced. Many correspondents repor
oats seeding as nearing completion
and corn plowing in progress.

Il
CONTINUED from page ~

"
Ihshefalk of 1884 Col. U. r.
Brooks, the present clerk of the
supreme court, who was at that
time agent for the sinking fund
|eommission, went to Edgeield to
collect the dues on the land known
as the Jennings tract, which the
Presslesasand Bot Jones had pur-
chased from the state. They had
failed 20 keep up the payments. Col.
Brooks told them that if they were
not able to keep the payments up
that it would be best for them to
rent the place. When the land was
first purchased from the state, the
terms were that one-fourth. should
be paid in cash and the remainder
was to be paid in three equal annual
installments.
Bob Jones made the first pay
ment on the land, and by a mutus!
understanding between Jones and
the Pressleys one-fourth of the tract
was measured off to him and their
agreement was that Jones had paid
for his share and would not be re-
quired to pay any more: The con-
tract with the state was lost sight
of in which it was stipulated that
il the land was not paid for that it
should revert to- the state and the
payment of the one-fourth. of the
amount would not be considered.
Later the land was rented to
Charles Presley. 1t will be thus
seen that Jones did not have any
interest in the land. He witnessed
the contract of the state in renting
the land to Presley and knew that
he had no more interest. In the fall
of 1885, while old man Presley
and his two sons were. planting oats
on the land, Bob Jones, who vas
then a young man, went to the field.
He carried a shotgun. He shot
Charlie Presley dead between the
plow handles. He then ran off and
was pursued across the field by
Edward Presley. While running he
managed to. open his knife. Stop
ping suddenly he turned upon the
hoy and literally cut his heart out.
He then went back to where the
father was standing and said,
Grandpa, I believe that | will kill
you," sad following the statement
fired upon the old man, the wounds
afterwards proving fatal. He then
went to Edge6eld and surrendered,
Jones narrowly escaping hanging.
He was convicted and got a new,
trial. There were mistrials and a
change of venue to Lexington coun-
ty and another conviction. The
