Messrs. Chas. Lohius and Jos.
Never returned Wednesday
morning from Isabel, where they
had been to attend the funeral OF
Mr.. Lohius' granddaughter. the
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman

Thursday afternoon the little
one was bitten by a rattler snd
died from the effects of the poi
son soon after midnight The
child had been playing with a
young duck, and came into the
house from its play showing a
wound from the venomous fangs
in the upper arm close to ar
artery Not understanding the
nature of the wound the terror
stricken mother. following lhe
child's explanation, went to the
place where it had been bitten
and encountered large rattler,
which she succeeded in killing.
Seizing her children. with the IN
iured child in her arms, she then
rushed to the place where Mr..
Vogel was haying, to tell him the
dread news. During the entire
time she attempted to suck the
poison out of the wound. Mr..
Vogel Immediately took his
daughter to Isabel for medical
aid but TO no avail. The near
ness of the artery had served to
diffuse the poison through the
child's frail system. The friend
ly help of narcotics or alcoholics
in a child's case was of no avail
ana the stupor into which it had
fallen was soon ended by death.

Better Farming.

Fifty centuries. all the ages of
the past of mans DEVELOPMENT
show that agriculture was left
to the hands OF the lowly, The
lowly both in intellect and power.
The tilling of the fields was
given over to serfs and slaves,
while mentally endowed usurped
the fruits of their labor. But if
modern times have one leading
characteristic, that characteristic
is the raising of agricultural pur-
suit to lofty dignity. No more
is the hand that wields the hoe
or guides the plow the abJect
tool of the caprices of his over
lords. The farmer now is a
nobleman, for his hand, the hand
that feeds the world, is directed
by the highest intelligence the
age can muster. No one breathes
in more deeply the progress OF
the age speaking of him as a
class than the agriculturlst.
And still the best representatives
of agriculturists are striving for
higher conquests over nature.

hand. step by step, but always

The Dakotas are a big school

of our farming population, Our

5TkEEIS

COLUMBUS, GA, May Awhile the
returns are hardly in from Wednes-
DAYS primary, another campaign is be
ginning in Muscogee county and the
Chattahoochee circuit.
It now looks as if there will be a
contest for judge of the superior court
between Judge s. P. Gilbert, the incum-
bent, and probably Judge Eugene j.
Wynn, of the recorders court of Co
lumbus. For solicitor general of the
circuit. the incumbent, George C. Pal
mer. will likely be opposed by c. r Nc
Laughlin.
Only three candidates are mentioned
for representatives from Muscogee.
They are Captain J Slade and Ed
Wohlwender, incumbents and Herman
H Swift, who would fill the third place
given Muscogee county by the 1911 re-
apportionment.
