In Memory Of Boy Corn Grower

my heart reaches out to his loved
ones alone;
For low sadly they miss him there
now,
But God in His goodness will com
fort the home
Where the little boy guided the
plow."
J. W. Newman. Kentucky's Com
missione, Of Agriculture, has started
a movement to raise fund for a
monument in memory of the boy. He
has purchased the entire crop from
the boys acre of land which he is
selling as seed corn, charging a dol
lar an ear, and expects to raise
about $500 in this way.
The most enduring monument to
the boy. however, will be the greater
yield Of the crops wherever an ear
Of his corn goes owing to increased
interest and the new light thrown
upon methods Of production.

that the revolt against the Govern
ment has been 80 far successful that
Madero has agreed to resign. This
decision was reached owing to the
fact that the Federal troops apparent
ly were demoralized. Considerable
numbers OF them left the scene Of bat
tie. The result IL that Diaz and the
Rebel forces are likely soon to be in
possession OF Mexico City. The
destruction OF property and the mu-
tilation OF fine buildings is greatly
to be deplored, but most of all is the
lnhuman and uncalled for killing Of
peaceful citizens and others who
should have been removed from the
scene OF combat by the military au-
thorities.
Evidently Mexico is a long ways
distant from the place where she is
capable OF self government.

The body of John Richie was found
yesterday beneath a bluff on the
bank OF the Mississippi River where
he had been thrown after his skull
had been crushed. His pockets were
turned out. II is evident that the
dead man had been struck several
times on the head with a blunt in
strument.
Before the body was removed a
fund was started by the spectators
to procure blood hounds TO trace the
murderer, 10 year old boy by the
name Of Dick Shelby contributing 80
cents. He was arrested before he
left the spot. accused Of the crime
and confessed that he had done The
deed In order to get $40 which he
knew Richie had. He implicated an

Governor McCreary issued a state
ment last week in reply to the fire.
quent charge that the last Legisla-
lature was more extravagant in its
appropriations than the first Legis-
lature Of the preceding administration.
The statement claims that at the
beginning Of the present administra-
ton there was outstanding an in
debtedness of $500, 439 so, and at the
beginning of the previous administIa-
ton a surplus of s43,711.73. The APP
preparations made by the first Legis-
lature of the Wilson administration
amounted to $3.50, O25. SO according to
the auditors statement, while appro-
priations of the last Legislature only
amounted to s575, 244.6S.
WILSON FOR BECKHAM
A Washington report credits Presi-
dent Wilson with favoring the cleo.
ton of former Governor Beckham to
the United States Senate to succeed
Senator Bradley. The statement does
not declare that President Elect Will
son has openly expressed himself in
favor of Nh. Beckham, but that their
likes and dislikes are the same and
that they stand for the same things
in national politics and, withall, are
close and confidential friends. Mr..
Wilson is said to expect great aid
from Mr.. Beckham in carrying out his
policies II the latter is elected.
STATE PENSION ROLL
The Confederate pension payroll is
estimated at $34, 900, which amount has
been passed on by the Pension Board.
There are very many applications yet
to be acted upon, as there are be-
tween five and six thousand old sol
diers in the state. Should the next
legislature make these eligible, the
annual pension roll, instead of be-
ing $4,000 will be nearer 100000.
A deficit of s2,5O0,0O0 in state fin
ances is the very interesting prop
osition that is before the state au-
thorities, and it may result in in
creasing the tax rate.
