Arrested Wrong Man.

Last Thursday evening Forest
Strong, driver for C. M. Keller, took
Mrs. Keller and Misses Fern Pryor,
Florence Oney and Edna Anderson in
Mr.. Keller's auto to the Davis City
reunion. AS they were returning
home they met team ahead of them
and the driver refused to allow them
to pass, turning his team out every
time they attempted to go around
him, and striking at them with his
whip. They were delayed quite
time, but finally managed to pass
the team. AS it was after dark the
parties could not tell who was driv-
ing, but the team was recognized,
and the following day Miss Fern
Pryor filed an information against
sam Bright, of near Leon, charging
him with assault. He was placed
under arrest on warrant issued by
Justice A. R. Warford, but had no
trouble in proving to the satisfaction
of all concerned that he was not the
party who was driving the team,
and the charge was dismissed against
him and the parties who caused his
arrest feel very sorry about the mat
ter as he is an exemplary young
man who has never had any trouble
with any one. 1t was learned that
the driver of the team was another
party and it is understood he will be
compelled to answer in court for his
actions.

pecially when it came to a game of
checkers, for they play checkers all

was cleaned up in short order. But
last Friday Davis City's champion.
j. M. Francis, met his Waterloo,
when he c. A. Hawkins, of Chica-
go, former resident of Leon who is
back here on visit, went to Davis
City to attend the reunion. He drop
ped into Francis shop, and
game was on. When the score stood
- games to 8 in favor of Mr.. Haw-
kins, Francis got cold feet and
excused himself, saying he would be
back in few minutes but he evil
IDENTIFY went away to console himself
in solitude for he did not show up
at the shop again that day.

In bringing before the public any
new variety of the we'll known crops,
such as wheat, oats, or corn, we need
not mention their history, the major
ity of the readers would not be in-
terested in that, but would look for
that which deals with culture, yield
and profit.
But in writing of a new crop we
think it best to give at least brief
history of the plant.

THE STATE FAIR
The Bond Issue for Improvements
Should Be Carried.

The proposed issue of a hundred
thousand dollars of bonds for i'm
lprovements at the Fair grounds
should be favored, and the indica-
tions are that the majority in num-
Der and i'll amount will be for.
The Improvements designed are
necessary, will be permanent and
will become the property of the city
The Fair grounds property is
owned by the city and is therefore
the peoples, and every betterment
simply adds to the value of the at
fractions of the property.
The directors of the Fair Associa-
ton have only one incentive and
that is to make the annual fairs a
success.
The State Fair of Louisiana is be-
ing managed as the State Fair of
Texas at Dallas.
The fair grounds at Dallas is
owned by the city of Dallas, and the
directors handled the affairs of this
fair with the view of making it a
success by securing the greatest
crowds of people.
These annual fairs are great slim
ulators of business, and their value
is beyond reasonable computation.
And so is the State Fair of Louis
lana great promoter of business
for Shreveport, besides being the
medium of development and pro-
gress.
