Fsrr1inr soye.

Mr.. j. D. Smith Of this city is well
known here both as farmer and bus
mess man. One day this week he was
telling on the streets about what he
has been able to do this year with a
twenty-acre field near the city, 1t
was in wheat and he made three hun
dred and e~ighty-fve bushels and is
selling it at $1.25 fer seed. 1t is clean
and he viii have no trouble to- sell it.
The straw weighed 1920 pounds and
is worth IS cents per hundred and
this will add 1854 to the sum he gets
from the wheat. After the wheat was
eff he sowed the land in peas and es-
Inmates the pea crop of hay at $4,000
pounds and this will bring $1,000, per
hundred or $525, making the sum
total CT SLIGO that he will get this
year from the twenty-acre field. Mr..
Smith says that he can hire all the la
Dor and make corn at s 1-3 cents per
bushel where his land will produce
fifty bushels to the ere. He further
says that he would not Cultivate land
that is not strong enough to make
fifty bushels of corn tc an acre. And
that is the way some men make mon
ey farming. They waste no energy
on land that is not sufficiently produce
tive to be cultivated with profit. If
the land is not strong enough then
they make it strong enough before
they stop.-Mount Airy News.

Fine Corn in Caldwell

We have talked with several of cur
citizens recently who have seen the
corn crop.on the Yadkin River valley
and all agree that a finer crop of corn
has never been grown in the valley.
It is simply immense, and SC it is on
all bottom land in the county, and a
great deal of the upland is first class.
There will be more corn gathered in
Caldwell county this year than was
ever wathered before in one Year.
With a fine wheat crop and a bumper
corn crop Caldwell county's bread
county looks bright.-Lenoir News.

FEAR OF HYDROPHBIA CAUSED
HER DEATH
Life Scared Out of Mrs Ross by
Letters From Friends

~
Chicago, Sept. 21.-Worry over
scores of letters telling CT the dan
gers of hydrophobia is said to be the
indirect cause of the death of Mrs
Gertrude Ross breeder of many IA
nous dogs, at a hospital yesterday
afternoon, after she had been bitten
by one of her blooded pets.
Mrs. Ross was attacked several.
weeks ago by a vicious dog, which
bit her several times. She laughed
at the efforts of friends to make her
take Pasteur treatment, and declared
that there vas nc danger Of rabies
Following the publication of this
fact in the newspapers, she began to
receive letters from friends, and some
from persons unknown to her beg
ging her to submit to the treatment
and detailing the horrors of the NAL
ady. The contents of the lurid let
tiers seemed tG cause a change In
her health, and she gradually grew
weaker and more nervous, until pne
umonia ensued. When she was tol6
that death was imminent, Mrs. Ross
expressed a last wish that her three
favorite pets be chIorofoTmed. She
leaves no relatives, and feared they
would not receive proper care Mrs.
Ross is said tc have won more prizes
With her dogs than any other woman

A Thought for the Wnal

So many people think, if they have
an ill-ftting dress. eat a badly
elk dinner, and have no ravishment in
the clean, sweet uses of the senses,
they are leading a moral life. II
is a profound depth of immoraIity,
to De able to live without beauty, and;
perhaps-the most tragic thing in our
sc3ial system is, that while one class:
has a surfeit of luxury and show
which they mistake for beauty, an.
other class is deprived of beauty AZ
together. It is more beauty we want
and less luxury.-Mrs. Havelock Ell
