other about three feet long.

w. S. Helphrey is having>eleven hum
dred mulberry, poplar and black locust
trees set out at his Pawnee Ranch, as
windbreak on the north and west
sides of his house. A good example for
others to follow.

Party at Harley Jobbins' Homestead

Party at Harley JObbins' Homestead
Sixteen of the Keota young people
formed jolly party at the homestead
of Harley Jobbins last Wednesday ev-
ening. Nearly all went out together in
a big wagon, and the trip out and back
was pleasant feature. Old fashioned
games were played; and for refresh
ments taffy was made. Much fun was
caused by the effort to arrange seats
for all. Harley, has two chairs at his
place, and some cannot understand why
q bachelor homesteader should have
more than one chair.

ALACHUA COUNTY

Hawthorne, Fla. Dec. 16.-Henry
White, a negro, 20 years Of age, was
lynched at Campville, a small village
five miles from here, at an early hour
Saturday morning by several hundred
infuriated men who found the negro
under young woman's bed. Young
men from Hawthorne were calling on
the young woman when they heard a
noise in an adjoining bed room. Upon
investigation White was found under
the bed. He was promptly carried
into the yard, rope secured and he
was swung up by the neck. The limb
parted and the negro fell, but he was
promptly riddled with bullets, his
body being found early this morning.
Some excitement exists. among the
citizens of both Hawthorne and
Campville, but no fears are enter
tanned for trouble among the blacks.

elections of 1910 will probably be
used as the basis. Representation
in the national conventions would De

South would lose sixty-two delegates
and the North eight; Alabama would
lose six. Florida two, South Carolina

ginia FIVE.

ST. LOUIS FOR CENTER

ST. Louis, Dec. 16.-A history
making epoch takes place here to-
day when, for the first time the Alas
ka seal catch is disposed of through
an American house instead of
through London, England, as for
merly. The change was made by
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Redfield. For many years it has
been as natural to associate seal
furs with London as with royalty
Apart, too, from the mere disposi-
tion of the furs themselves is the
fact that great tanning and dye
ing industry has been maintained in
England on the very strength of past
control of the Alaska seal output by
British houses. 1t is fairly evident
that this industry will be removed
from England to America in order to
further facilitate the home produc.
tion of an article truly American,
in its very aspect Another consid-
Grafton is the fact that this step will
naturally mean the elimination of
the heavy duties which in the past
have added to the prices of seal skin
garments in America.
