The series of evangelistic meet
ings which began in this city on
Sunday, Feb. 5, under the auspi-
ccs of the Baptist church closed
Thursday night. T he evangelist in,
charge of the meetings was the Rev.
H. R. Holcomb, of McCombe City.
Miss, a man well fitted for his
responsible vocation. He is an
honest, sincere, earnest preacher
of the Word, and the News is
glad to be able to publish the fact
that his eloquent sermons and for
chile appeals have been crowned
with abundant success. At this
time this paper is not able to give
in figures the results of the grand
work done by Mr.. Holcomb during
tie Fast twelve days. The meetings
were held in the Court House, day
and night, and at times the big
room was FILLED to its utmost capaci-
ty. w Conversions and
additions to the church we're many
and reclamations were numerous.
The beneficial results OF this fine
meeting will extend to other towns
and counties, as many of those who
professed conversion live elsewhere
and will join their home churches.

to contain an odd number OF rows of
grain has been found by the De-
partment of Agriculture and is on
exhibition at the corn show being
held at Terre Haute, Indiana.

KENTUCKY NORTH { South.
More Talk About Another East Ken
lucky Railroad.

Another K N. and s. Railroad re-
port is spreading over the country
and is so persistent and unchange-
able that we publish 1t believing
that it has foundation in fact. This
paper is careful not to publish un-
authenticated reports but this one
has come to us a dozen times, al
ways in the same form, and is
worth the reading of the public.
The report has it that the COM
pany has been able to float the ma
ior part of its bonds successfully,
and that Mr. Homer accompanied by
the engineer will be here about
the 18th or goth to prepare for
immediate work This is the rea-
son the company recently purchased
the tract of land in South Ports
mouth-they wanted to have their
terminals there and bought the land
carly so the price would be lower
The company has decided to take
the Deer Creek route and. the re-
port Gays, will begin wafk very
shortly on the different sections Of
the road.
A reporter for this paper
interviewed the person to whom
;I's letter was supposed tc have
been sent, he stated emphatically
that he promised the railroad men
months ago that whatever was writ
ten him by them would be in the
strictest confidence, and propose to.
keep that promise.
The report, however, bears out
the belief of our best business men,,
who have believed since last fall
and especially since the Fullerton
tract was bought that work would
begin in the spring. ,Grayson Bu-

SeasOrabIe Notes.

The following notes from Woods
Crop Special, published T. W. Woods
6 Snos, Richmond, Va, are season
able and worthy of the attention
OF farmers:
Woods Crop Special is issued
monthly. No subscription price,
but is mailed free each month to
customers whose orders indicate spe.
cial interest in farming, gardening
or trucking
The high price of hay should
give an additional incentive for SOW
ing increased acreage for grasses
and clovers the coming year The
high prices and indicated high prices
of COW peas, sofa beans and other
leguminous crops, should also make
clover more largely used and de-
pended upon as soil-improyer, as
at present values it costs less to
seed per acre than any of the le-
guminous crops. The bountiful
crops and resulting low prices OF
grain should also make farmers pay
more attention to the improvement
of the land, which can be accom-.
plished by seeding down to grasses
and clovers.
Grasses and clovers especially
can be safely and satisfactorily seed
ed on fall-sown wheat, oats or 9th.
er grain crops, during the month Of
March. Seeding at that time moi
only saves an extra preparation Of
the land, but the narrowing ant
cross narrowing which is desira
bic in order to give the grass and
clover seed slight covering, acts
as a cultivation and decided ben.
eft to the wheat and grain crops
increasing the yield to a consider
able extent, In fact even if yor
do not seed clover and grasses OF
your wheat and fall-sown grain IL
the spring, it is to advantage tC
run the harrow over these crops, ,st
as to break the crust of the soil
which acts as cultivation and ma
terially incresaes the yield of tht
grain.
We have also found most excel
lent results from fertilizing whea
and other grains during the montl
of March, in preference to applying
the fertilizer at the time wheat Il
seeded in the fall, and we strongl!
recommend to our customers, wheth
er they seed clover or grasses ol
not, to fertilize their grain cropi
with 200 to 900 lbs. of animal bone
or a good grain fertilizer, at tha
time, and run the harrow over it t.
slightly incorporate it with the sol
The increased yields of grain viii
well repay for the fertillzing ant
little extra labor required.
