Commissioner Of Agriculture.

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture has $500 set aside for the purpose
of employing competent commissioner
of agriculture and local agent for Gren.
ada county, provided the county will
put up $1,000.
The Government will supervise the
man for the county which puts the
whole Department of Agriculture at
Washington back of him, and will give
him the franking privilege, which will
enable him to write to every farmer IN
the county, if he so desires, free OF
charge.
This mans work would be to devote
his entire time to the agricultural in
terests of Grenada county; he would
spend five days each week visiting as
many farmers as he could work with,
IN the respective beats of the county,
and one day of each week he would be
in his office to advise wi tn any farmer
along whatever lines he needed infor-
nation.
His principal work next year would
be to help the farmers make cotton IN
spite of the boil weevil, but this would
by no means be the full extent of his
work. He would assist as well with
| the growing of corn, oats, and the
the planting, cultivation and harvest
ing of any other crops the farmer wants
to plant. He would be of great as
sistance in advising regarding the pur-
chase and operating of improved i'm.
plements, the buying and applying OF
commercial fertilizers, the purchase,
feeding and general care of livestock,
and the purchase and use of all i'm
prOyed farm seed,
This year one-third of a mans time
was all l could get for the county, and
while the U. S. Government is ready
and anxious to help those who want
help, yet unless the people help them
selves, even that which is now being
| done will be withdrawn entirely.
So if you want this work in, the
county, see your supervisor and tell
him what you think of it. ,,.

Dist. Agent U. s. Dept. Agriculture.

Maoness Case Before Supreme Court

The case of the State VS.. A. ?. Mag
ness, charged with the murder OF Geo.
Gillop. was argued before the supreme
court at Jackson this week. L. l..
Lamb of Eupora appeared for the
state and Judge Dunn and W. 5. Hill
for the defense.
Magness, as the reading public gen
erally knows, was tried February last,
in Alfalfa county, on a change of venue
and was convicted and given a life SEN
tence. Since then he has been kept IN
the Jail at Rosedale, Bolivar county
his family having removed to that
county. It is stated that the main reli-
ance of the defense for reversal is
that it is alleged bottle of whiskey
was found in the Jury room where the
iury that tried Magness was delibera-
ting and that the whiskey was placed
there by one of the attorneys engaged
for the state. All this was gone over
by the presiding Judge before sentence
was passed. -
When the motion was made by Mag
ness attorneys for new trial. as
the Sentinel understands, every juror
that sat on the case was subpoenaeo
before the court and interrogated not
only on this particular point, but one
every other exception set up by the de-
fense.
As to the whiskey, it is stated that
one of the special counsel employed by
the state had bottle for his own use
and merely set it aside for his own use
and not for the purposes Of influencing
the verdict of the jury. OF course the
defense is expected to take advantage
of anything that is calculated to aid
their client, but the liquor in the jury
room looks like slender thread.

BASEBALL?

Whether or not BrattIeboro shall be
represented by baseball team in the
Twin State league this summer is a
question that must be given immediate
attention by the people of the town.
The letter from the directors of the
local association, printed in another
column puts the matter frankly before
the sport loving public, and the answer
should be equally frank as we'll as
prompt. The Reformer believes that
the appeal of the baseball association
will meet with a generous response,
and it bases this belief on firm con
viction that the business interests of
the town appreciate what baseball
means to the community through the
summer.
1t is not necessary to dwell on the
enjoyment which the sport furnishes;
for those acquainted with the fascina-
tion of the national game no such ex-
PLANTATION is required. 1t may not be
out of place, however, to point out
why the pleasure which baseball pro
vides is a valuable asset to. the com
munity. To begin with it attracts
many people from adjoining towns, and
the visits which they make by reason
of this attraction seldom fail to result
in financial benefit to somebody within
the town. But more important still is
the c0ntentment inspired by frequent
| opportunity to witness games. En-
ployers in a town that supports base
| ball during the summer know from ex-
perience that their workmen find in the
sport an interest that tends to offset
the desire to spend the weekend
where there is "more doing" And q
few hours at a game, even in times
when business is rushing, curtails pro
duction only in a slight degree as com
pared with journeys out of town ant
their not infrequent consequences.
In short, baseball is bracing toni,
for the summer months : a remedy
for that tired feeling which is IikeH
to assail us all in hot weather an,
make us dissatisfied with our lot Brat
tleboro has tried this medicine for tn
past two Years and can testify to it
value when procured at reasonabI
price. The Reformer does not believ
the people of the town are prepared t
worry through the approaching seaso
without having the prescription re
filled.

The Barre Times says the the pro-
poseFremoval of the state tax commits
sloner's office from Burlington to
Mortified will place the office several
miles nearer the place where it ought
to be-Montpelier, and adds that all
such offices ought to be located in the
capital city. This is theoretically true,
but such an arrangement would be
more convenient in fact if the capital
were located on a main line of rail
road.

Fuller c. Smith of st. Adams, who

that paper replied with some criticisms
of the plans proposed. The last we no

the point where the Free Press was
saying something about the multiple
