Appointment OF Col.
W. B. HaIdeman As
Adjutant General,

The appointment by Governor Nc
Creary of Col. w. Il. Haldeman, editor
of the Louisville Times, as Adjutant
General of Kentucky, has met with
great favor all over the State. Tele-
grams and letters of congratulations by
the hundreds were sent him by promi-
nent men and friends, but it seems to
The Jeffersonian that the State, rather
than Gen. Haldeman, should be con.
graduated.
The military service of the State, in
charge of Gen. Haldeman, will now be
placed upon higher plane than ever
before. He is experienced in such
matters and knows how to rally the
"boys" around him. He was in Frank
fort Tuesday and took charge of the
Adjutant Generals office.
The Jeffersonian begs to join in the
congratulations Of Gen. Haldeman, the
State Guard and Gov. McCreary for
his wisdom in selecting such high
toned and capable gentleman as the
head of military affairs in Kentucky

FARMING WITH DYNAMITE WHAT 1T CAN DO FOR BRECKENRIDGE

imagine what JOY it must be to a
grain of corn to get down into this sub
soil and stretch out-just like yourself
getting into feather bed and stretch
ing out and being comfortable for eight
hours-which is long enough for any
energetic farmer that wants to grow
and gain.
But going back to the corn,J II Cald
well, Of Spartanburg. S. c., planted
his crop with stalks l9 inches apart in
rows feet apart and raised 90 bushels
to the acre. After he plowed mis- ground
with Dynamite. it was able to nourish
stalks 6 inches apart in rows the same
distance apart and to produce $50 bush
els to the acre. Think of raising that
much corn to an acre in Breckenridge
county. Wouldn't that delight Mr..
Harrington of Custer, and Bro. Duggins,
of Harmed? They have been blowing
their ground deep and planted their
corn aud got fine results If they take
hold of Dynamite, they can see greater
and richer Yields.

Plan ing And Cultiyating Orchards

If Mr.. Ashbv would use "Red Cross
Dynamite in his nursery he would save
much labor and time in planting trees.
and be ensured the best growth and
large Yields. This is not debating to
Mr.. w. S. A., but because trees just
will grow for him, his name is mention
ed.
Mr.. Ashby will spend (or have some
one to spend) an hour digging a tree
hole that "Red Cross" Dynamite will
excavate in an instant. And the Dy ma
mite loosens the ground, breaks through
that prison wall-the hard pan-and
makes path to the subsoil for the
roots to grow into and have a good
time. Trees planted without blasting
often bear no fruit and their leaves
shrivel up and drop off during the dry
season, because their roots are not sur
rounded by a spongy reservoir that is
always formed by Dynamite.

ROBBERY At |Rv|NGTON
SheIIman's Bank, AIexander's
Store, Trent's Store And
Post-0ffice Visited BY
Thieves Thursday Night.
Unsuccessful Visit.

What proved lots of work with little
result was the visit paid to Irvington's
main business houses Thursday night.
Three tramps had been staying around
town all week and they are thought to
be the persons who entered the post
Office, the stores of Haynes Trent and
Ed Alexander. All the stamps and
money were taken out of the post-office,
but the amount did not exceed more
than $50.
Alexander store was robted of 81
and few trifes in jewelry and the
wedding ring of Mrs. Ale@aader.
Trents store suffered lesser loss. An
unsuccessful attempt was made to
break open the safe in the bank of
E. H. Shellman G. Company. The
thieves must have skipped town on the
first train on. and as yet have not been
heard from.

You know what HardPan is-it is a
layer of earth right under the top soil
and is as hard as rock. When hard
pan has formed under the top soil, only
sun flowers and cockleburs can grow on
such land because it holds the surface
water in such quantities on the level
ground that the vegetation rots away,
and on billy ground, it allows the sur
face water to run off, thus preventing
the storage of moisture, with the result
that the vegetation dies quickly in hot
weather. Such land can be rendered
fertile at once by blasting with Dyna-
mite.
Under the hard pan is the subsoil
which is completely broken up and the
dry, dead top soil converted into a
rich loan for less than the amount of
the taxes for year or two. You can

Tobacco Company, for which the price
of II cents pound was paid and which
price the plaintiff declared, in its peti-
