FARMERS CATCH ] UP WITH WORK Fl0rala Citizens Want Town
 Divided Into Wards HOUNDS ARE BOUGHT Civic League to Be Formed-Dent Visits Floala--Work Progresses
 on Schools-Huckabee
 Held for Assault
HOUNDS ARE BOUGHT

| Florala, March 24.-(SpeciaL)-Th Ia vorable weather of the past week Ina } done much to put the farmers of this section up with their work. Every kind of farm operation has been greatly de- | layed during the past weeks and there are very few farmers here who have their work well under way. The excessive rains | have washed up great part of the seed that has already been sown and replant- 1 ing will be necessary in many instances. Florala May Have Wards A petition signed by large number or the voters of F1orala has been filed with the mayor asking the present. adminis- | tration to divide the city into wards and to provide for the election of councilmen from each ward. The administration have signified that the petition will have g favorable consideration and that the request will be granted
 To Form Civic League A number of the ladies of the city have determined to form a new organization for the improvement of Florala. The new organization will be a civic league and will work in connection with the newly formed Commercial club along all lines Of civic improvement. It is proposed to invite Mrs. John Avery. president of the Pensacola Civic league, fo- make visit to Florala and to start the organization here. s5fs Dent Visits Fiorala
 Congressman Dent paid a visit to Flor ala this week MT. Dent is covering the district very rapidly in his campaign for reelection and is confident that he will win over O. c. Wiley in the April pri- maries. Very little interest is being shown in the results of the coming cleo tions by the citizens here
 Work Progresses on School The brick walls of the new Florala city school building are rapidly going up. The workmen who have been delayed by the failure of some of the iron work for the framing are all on the job again and the work is being rapidly pushed
 A large shipment of material has just come fin and no further delay Is antici- pated in finishing the building.
 Two BlOodhounds Purchased On account of the large number of petty burglaries that have been taking place here the chief of police, J. H. Busbee. has purchased and now has for use two blood hounds He has already had one or two chases since the dogs arrived. and it is believed that the presence of these dogs will have a great tendency to put stop to large part of the mischief.
 Huckabec Held
 l Although Frank Scherer. who was se- verely cut by Jasper Huckabee here last
 week, is reported as improving, Huck:t- | bee is still held a the county jail in An dalusia without bond It has been thought | that Scherer would die and Huckabee ! who was admitted to bail at first has | been rearrested and is being held.

Issues Yet to Appear

The issues of the campaign have not yet appeared Generally speaking, Mir. Slaton and Mir. Hudson stand for prac- tically the same things-things both be- 'lieve best for the state. But it Is said the contest Is not going to he altogether one of men; that there will be measures to provoke discussion and which will likely have two good sides.
 Will there be any joint debates be- tween Slaton and Hudson? It is. of course. too early to answer that ques- ton. but it is being asked. Naturally and by training Mir. Slaton is a splendid stump speaker--a vigorous and forceful arsumentative talker. In this respect he perhaps has a little the better of Mir Hudson, whose training has come chiefly through the talks he has made to farm CTS in various sections of the state in presenting to them various subjects in which the department of agriculture has been interested in their behalf
 Joint debates between the two would prove interSting. They would be spirited enough. and yet lacking, as already ex- plained, in those elements which provoke personal resentment and anger.
 If there should be any joint debat- ing" there is little question but that Mir Hall would like to get into the game: so there is prospect of some of the ''old time politics in Georgia before the campaign of 1912 comes to it's climax in the August primary.

Coroner Korschgen conducted an
inquest over the remains today. The
inquisiti n was started this morning,
but was not concluded until this
afternoon A number of witnesses
were examined, but they knew nothing
concerning the death, other than they

The witnesses included Mrs. Foster,
Officers Shepherd and Fuqua, the

Brater and Drs. jenkins and Holmes
Drs. Holmes and jenkins satisfied
themselves yesterday afternoon that
the mans death was due to natural
causes. They found but slight

AN INFORMAL MEETING
Held Last Evening at the Keokuk Ho-
tel ParIors Whom Almost Two
Score Of Men Pledged Loyal
~ TO the City.

Boosting keokuk will be the object
of an organization that Is In process
Of formation and which In a short
time will have membership that will
radlate the llve-wlre atmosphere in
this community, the first Informal
meeting having been held last evening
at the keokuk Hotel parlors.
The spirit Of activity In city ad-
vancement crsytalized last evening
when an informal meeting was held
at the Keokuk Hotel parlors at which
about thirty-f1ve were present to dis
cuss plans for doing whatever came
to hand to advance the interests OF
the city. In all probability this city
will have within the next few weeks
one of the most enthusiastic and eff
fectiye booster organizations to be
found in the state or In this section
of country. For several weeks there
has been discussion among the bust
ness and especially among the young
er element as to the advisability oil
organizing into some effective body
the men Of the city who would have
for their work the boosting Of Keo-
kuk and the especial task of eliminat-
| ing criticism. In addition to the
boosting assignment it will be the
purpose of this organization to de-
velop spirit of cooperation and unity
| toward every civic movement that has
for its purpose the advancement Of
Keokuk and not to interfere with any
organization already In existence,
whose objects are for the general
welfare Of the city.

Harmonious and Enthusiastic.

At the meeting last evening there
was very unanimous and harmonious
sentiment that such an organization
would have beneficial effect among
the citizens and at the same time
give an opportunity to do some ef-
fective boosting when opportunity
presented itself and the opportunities
that in cities like Des Moines, Water
loo, and elsewhere such organizations
have been very effective accessories
in cooperating with other bodies in
the development of the city and the
best and largest results are what Keo-
kuk boosters will seek. The spirit at
the informal meeting last evening con-
clusively indicated that the time is
opportune for action along the lines
indicated and 1t is certain the spirit
| is prevalent to give expression to such
activity.
An Organization for Live Ones.
The meeting adjourned subject to
call later when a committee of three
will report on organization at lunch
con to be given and at just as early a
date as possible.
The live-wire spirit was dominant
last evening and the conversion of the
knocker will take place Immediately
upon completion of the organization
I. Is hoped that the revival in this re-
gpect will have beneficial result and
that such spirit of unity and en-
thusiasm will mark the life of the
boosters that every one in Keokuk will
wish to be classified as live-wire
and lend every pound of influence they
have toward making Keokuk known as
a city of animation. To accomplish
this object the assistance of aggres
sive. wide-awake citizens will be en-
listed.
