DYNAMITE BRINGS RAIN
DOWN IN DRY TEXAS

Arson, Tex, June 17.-Anson re-
ceived rain yesterday by the dyna-
mite route. Becoming impatient with
what seemed to be continued
drought, residents ONT Arson, Stamford
and Hamlin became interested in the
dynamiting experiment and tried it
The firing was done about 5 miles
northwest of Arson, beginning at 10
O'Clock Sunday and last until three in
the afternoon. Thousands of persons
witnessed the explosions
By the time the last shot was fired
big drops of rain were falling, al
though they were intermittent at the
beginning of a shower. The rainfall
continued light, but clouds piled up
in a manner to give hopes of good
rain. These clouds are still banked
up northwest of Arson in the direc-
ton where the firing was done.

CANTALOUPES WILL
SOON Be ON MARKET
A Good Crop is Expected By
Growers

The early peach, the blackberry
and the watermelon having make
their advent the cantaloups is next
LISTED for public favor and approval
and the crop, locally, will probably
be up to the average.
Conditions recently which threaten
ed damage to this valuable crop hav !
improved, and the prospect grows
brighter with the return of better
weather. There are probably sew
enty-fve or one hundred acres in can
taloupes near the city, an acreage
sufficient to supply local demand and
afford several carloads for shipment.
This fine fruit should be plentiful
here two weeks hence.

old COTTON CROP HAS
Been DISPOSED OF
Only a Little Remaining Still
On Market

The salesrooms of Americas ware
houses are practically cleared of Sam
pie cotton, and the storage depart
ments present vacant appearance
as we'll The recent advance in cot
ton values resulted in further reduc-
ton of local stocks to a mere few
hundred bales, probably 400 or 500
remaining of the more than $4,000
bales received in Americas during
the season recently closed.
While sales are few at this time,
holders af cotton are interested i'll
the slightly advancing prices. Yes
terday good middling cotton was
worth II IL cents in Americas, with
corresponding good prices for the
poorer grades. Warehousemen and
farmers alike are very optimistic re-
garding values of the next crop and
expect to see the market open up in
September at u 1-2 to 10 cents, ii
not even better, due to acreage cur
tailment and crop condition general
ly.

Memories OF The Past

Can any thing be more pleas,
ant in the busy hum-drum of
after years, than to permit
your mind TO wander back to
the days of school life, the
sweet memories and incidents
that come up, the smiling faces
and pleasant countenances; the
old school house door, that has
often admitted you, swinging
back and forth on its great
hinges; the very walls speaking
forth of happy hours; while ut
your side, stands teacher, who
has watched you every move,
and is as much interested in
your success as you are your
self. AS these pleasant recol-
lections come back to one, the
eye is almost moistened as he
realizes those days are gone
forever, and so many who took
part in those happy hours, as
well. AS we sit and contem-
plate that never again in this
life will those days return, that
the participants who so joyous
ly together in the school room
and play ground pledged loyal
ty and faith to the old school,
and whose memories are the
most pleasant in our life, are
scattered far and wide, and
some departed forever to their
eturnal home. When this is
realized, sad, indeed, is the
heart, and the swiftncss with
which the years pass by makes
one understand that we are
journeying toward the setting
sun.

Federal Court.

The August session of the
regular semi-annual sitting of
the United States Court con-
vened h ere Monday, Judge
Henry g. Mcdowell, presiding,
with probably a larger number
of cases and witnesses than any
previous term in Big Stone
Gap.
The cases for the most part
are violations of the internal
revenue laws though there are
q few cases on the civil docket
and some violations of the post
office department, one in par
ticular, involving primarily an
alleged fraudulent transaction
through the mails, of about
$50, with a Chicago mail order
house. This case has been con-
tinued, il is said, from time to
