Columbia, April 15.-One thousand

affords for agricultural education is
uneXcelled.
The boys attending the Exposition
School will be quartered in a large
building, near the main exposition
buildings, and they will be in charge
of representatives of the farm dem
onstration work. The boys will be
organized into n semi-military organ
iZation, and while the men of the
demonstration department will have

planned that the boys themselves will
be given certain responsibilities. They

Ing and the like. The boys will be
asked to prepare reports Of what they
see and the best of these reports will
be sent to the home papers for pub
lication.

built them a modest but pleasant
home near her chldhoods home and
there two sons came 10 them, one OF

Quaint Legend.

Peculiar interest is attached to the
Blackstone" an object resembling a
petrified bag of corn, which Is one Of
the sights" OF the little village OF
Fonaby. Lincolnshire, England. The
stone is locally accounted for in this
wise: Legend says that st. Paul was
walking along the road one day in the
dim past, and asked man with
sack of corn what he had In 1t. The
reply was Nothing" Nothing 1t shall
remain" said st. Paul, and the sack
OF corn was Immediately changed into
stone. A succeeding owner OF the land
Is said to have tried to move the stone,
but it took IL horses to drag 1t down
the hill upon which 1t stood. Soon
after a spell Of ill-luck was attributed
to the stoEe being removed and 1t was
replaced in Its old position; only one
horse was needed to drag 1t up the
hill
