Who SWIPED
MOONSHlNE STILL?
Rumor From Jamestown An.
nounce That One is Now
Among the Missing.

This is the first time in many
years that all prophets are pre-
dieting the same thing, namely
dry weather.
We delight in reading the Nough
correspondents letters and to hear
the fakirs groan as he the writer
penetrates their Smithsonian
"noging" with some truths
that makes them blow free
silver" from their nose, as if
to say Brethren, we have enough
of the doctrine to do us till crop
time or till 'roasen' ears get hard
enough to make moonshine whis-
key"
One of the most noted events
which has been reported in this
section was the rumor last week
that Royal Sweden had stolen
Mr.. Davis moonshine still. If this
be true, probably the looser will
be tn a full mourning gown very
soon. We hope, if this be true,
that Mr.. Davis will recover same
and will at once shed his mourn
ing apparel and all will be well
and no enmity exist between them.
No one believes Mr.. Sweden would
do such an act, as he is rather a
strict temperance man.

MUCH News

Nough, Sfpt. 1--we were in
Newport last week and heard quite
a bit of INJURY concerning our
writing on ne sanctifed which our
town is infected, and they seem to
be pleased With the way the art
Gle was put up, and we were en- :
courage'l to keep the good work
going. WIN say TO our friends
that we will give them another
writ-up next week, a final one,
maybe, but will add that my heart
was grieved when | saw the tent,
land under same was the very
same man, who gave our country
a downward start in the way Of
misleading the people, and we
advise the people of Newport to
keep a close watch of him that he
', does not escape with some of the
opposite sex of said town.
Several from here was taken be-
fore the board of education last
Saturday, for violating the school
law, but they were all released SC
far as | have found.

Congressman Sells, in comment
ing on the plan today, said: Since
my election to congress more than
two years ago | have from time to
tim. received requests from the
progressive farmers of the dis
trect for assistance in the conduct
of this work. | am exceedingly
| glad that the department of agri-
culture has at las responded to
my request, 1t is now squarely
up to the various county courts to
say whether or not they desire the
help of the department. | have
written letters by the hundred,
and sent out bulletins from the
department setting forth at length
the plan in its various details, to-
gether with the results which
have been achieved by a similar
work elsewhere. There is no theo-
ry connected with it; it is a plain
practical demonstration to the far
mer how, by adhering to methods
recommended by the department
of agriculture he can greatly en-
nance his yields per acre. The
results achieved elsewhere show
increases of from twenty-five per
cent. to more than 100 per cent. in
favor of the new methods as against
the old. 1t is my sincere hope
that the various county courts, at
the October term, will take advant-
age of the proposition by making
the necessary appropriation. In
no instance will more than $500 to
the county be required, and if the
connty be small, an appropriation
of $500 will be sufficient"
Congressman Sells has also ia
ken this matter up with some of
the railroads in the district, asking
that they contribute, and he fdels
assured that some assistance will
be secured from this source.
