gratifying results as they have &C

Foruer is Busy.-A worthless check,
signed by Vanderventer and Ryder. the
finn who has contracted to build
fences along the Davenport Muscatine
interurban, was cashed at the First
National bank last Wednesday and
has been returned by the Clearing
House association. The check amount.
ed TO S22. and IT is believed that one
OF the workmen drafted it. This is the
second instance of forgery that has
been exhibited in that territory. Some
time ago a check for 1919 was signed
by the Skinner company and cashed
In Davenport bank. It was later re-
turned to the Blue Grass bank, but
that institution refused to honor it. II
was believed at the time that James
Brannigan, q timekeeper for the con-
Germ had cashed the check. He dis
appeared and shortly afterward it was
said that a check. believed to have
been drawn by him, was cashed in
Chicago. On this check the bank gave
out over 5000. AS yet no arrests have
been made for either forgery.

of Man Who Did Invaluable Work
for Southern States.

It is we'll known to every farmer IN
the South who has kept up with the
DEVELOPMENTS in agriculture that the
late DR.. Seaman A. Knapp rendered
invaluable service to the cause of ag-
riculture in the Southern States-ser-
vices that are recognized and deeply
appreciated by every lover Of his
country. A Southern movement is on
foot to erect a monument in his hon.
or and to perpetuate his memory An
association of Southern men has been
formed for this purpose, and commit
tees are to be appointed in every coun-
ty of every Southern State in further
ance of this worthy object. These
committees will gladly receive contrl-
buttons toward this monument from
all who wish to show their apprecla-
ton of the great work accomplished
in the South for agricultural develop
ment by this great and good man. A
small contribution from each person
will accomplish the desired end.
The undersigned have been appoint
ed the committee for NeWberry coun-
ty, and they, or any one of them' will
be glad to receive any sums that any
persons may feel like contributing
to this cause.
