Good Wheat.

One Of the best wheat crops we have
heard OF this year was that of Mr.. John
Faux on DIR. Nevil Farrior's land near
the camp ground. The crop averaged
thirty-one and a half bushels to the
acre and tested 81 pounds to the bushel.
This would be considered nice crop
any year, and it is one this year that
will be hard to beat. We believe the
Doctor and Mr., Faux will get the blue
ribbon with this crop. Troy Press.
Mr.. A. d. Midyett, who lives three
miles northwest of Kenton, reports an
average of thirty-four bushels OF wheat
per acre on 19 acres. This is the best
yield so far reported in this section.

Baseball.

The Kenton ball twirlers arrived Tues
day for series of three games with the
U. G. I. S. Invincibles. The game in
the afternoon was slow, one-sided and
uninteresting throughout, resulting in
victory for the locals, the figures dis
played reading 10 to 2. The Kenton
boys had overestimated their Capacity
and returned home Wednesday morning.
Manager Aydelott made arrangements
for the Dyer Professionals to come and
complete the advertised games. They
arrived on time and opened Wednesday
in a crisp, snappy, closely contested,
enjoyable game, but were unable to
land a verdict Johnson and Smith
were right there. The visitors pound
ed Johnson pretty lively at times, but
the support the boys gave him, except
ing one instance, was perfect, an error
allowing the only run scored by Dyer.
The score: 3 and /.
These teams are evenly matched and
always give the spectators a quarter
worth They have played this season
eight games, the U. c. t. S. taking five
of the number. They finish the series

MOISTURE PAST WEEK

The weather tie past week. although
it has delayed seeding. has made farm
-ers and everybody jubilant, A little
snow fell every day. making three
fourths Of an inch of moisture in all.
This amount though small is worth much
more than ordinarily. since the weather
has been cool and the snow is melting
slowly, every bit of of water sinking
into the soil.
The weather cleared during Wednes-
day and the ground will be in the best
of shape by the first of the week fol-
breaking or for seeding which will be
general all over the section at that time.

ported Tuesday. At the time the gov

This means that division is knocked

appeal and probably will. but Judge
