Methodist church at Belden. where he
is most pleasantly remembered by the
entire community.

full hostess of the Young Ladies Club

program proved to be one of the most
entertaining of the season. The beau

time rather than the wintry season.
Delicious refreshments were served.
Upon retiring from the Office as ag-
ent of the M. & 0. railroad Mr.. w. S.

very short cotton crop In lieu of
cotton an abundance of corn. molasses,
peanuts and other farm products were
raised and there is an over abundance
of these items. There is a large sur
plus of meat and lard and while the
farmers haven't much money they have
the equivalent in a liberal supply of the
necessaries of rife.
Mr.. John st. Clair and his bride ar
rived in the city the past week and will
in future make this place their home.
Mr.. st. Clair was recently married to
Miss Annie King, one of Durant's
loveliest and most accomplished daugh-
tiers and his host of friends are con-
graduating him upon his good fortune.

Bonnie Beeson
Tells His Secret.

er, who broke the state record
last year by raising 227 bushels
of corn on one acre--and it wasn't
a particularly good year for corn
either.
Bonnie is the Lawrence county
boy who won a trip to Washing
ton and so many premiums and
cash awards that he couldn't
carry 'em all home at one trip.
Since his return from the national
capital, where he shook hands
with President Taft, and other
national dignitaries, and was
entertained for several days at
the expense of the government,
this lad not yet in his teens-he
will not be eleven years of age
until the 10th of February-has
been deluged with letters from
all parts of the country wanting
to know how he did it.
Not having sufficient wealth
to employ stenographer to look
after his correspondence. Bonnie
has issued a signed statement
giving the details of how he
raised his crop, and declares that
he intends to do better during
the comingfcrop year. He:con-
fesses that his greatest ambition
in life is to become president of
a good agricultural college, and
it looks like he is on the royal
road to the achievement of that
distinction.
Story of His Life.
A few days since the agricul-
tural editor of the Daily News
wrote a letter to Bennie Beeson
asking him to give some of the
details of his short but eventful
life. The lad furnishes the story
as follows:
