has undertaken another lyceum
course. The Alkahest Bureau as
Sures US that we have four splendid
attractions to offer you. We know
this much already, that these four
attractions cost us $500 more
than the four we had last year.
Yet, with one exception, we are
charging you no more for your
tickets. Two dollars for single
reserved seats for the four attrac-
tions or $3.50 for the double tick
ct. The school people get their
same rate of $1.00 for the four at
fractions, but they pay so cents
additional to have the seat reserved.
The Civic Improvement Club
has striven to give value received
and to make a success of every
thing it has undertaken, Its every
effort has been for identifying or
lettering Huntingdon. The sue

All Huntingdon was shocked
last Monday by the sudden and
horrible death Of Miss Viola Dunn,
resulting from being struck by
the 10:46 west bound train as she
was crossing the railroad track
on East Paris street. just exactly
how the accident occurred seems
very difficult to ascertain as there
was no one with the young lady
when it occurred. A young friend
of hers, Miss Orlena Futrelle, and
I Miss Dunn were walking home
together from the Southern Bust
ness College where they were both
attending school. A short dis
lance from the railroad, Miss Flu
treble stopped at Mr.. Joe Brevard's
and MisslDunn walked on toward
home. In a few minutes the town
was alarmed by the whistlihg of
the train engine indicating that
there was trouble at the crossing
and in a short time a large crowd
had gathered at the scene of the
accident to find the young lady,
who a f8 ! moments before had
been so full Of life and hope, then
cold in death.
1t is thought that Miss Dunn
must not have noticed the APP
preaching train until she was on
or very near the track, and hast
ened to cross over, that her foot
must have slipped, causing her to
stagger and be struck by the train
which instantly killed her. The
stroke that caused her death was
on the back part of her head. Her
arms and lower limbs were scratch
ed and Scared and her shoulder
injured, but the train did not run
over her.
Miss Dunn was staying in the
home Of j. I. Peeler and attend
ing the Business College. She
was nineteen years old and was a
most deserving young lady with
sweet christian spirit and was
held in the highest esteem by all
who knew her. Her home was in
the Twelfth district Of this county
and she is survived by her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Dunn, two
brothers and two sisters. One
brother, Will Dunn, a young

COTTON CROP
Rains Do Both Good and Harm.
Prices Attractive.

Tue heavy rains that have fallen
over the cotton belt during the
past fortnight have done good and
harm to the cotton crop. 1t seems
to be a matter for the future to
decide whether the benefit will be
greater than the damage, with the
frost date sure to play an import
ant part in deciding this matter.
In Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louis
lana, Mississippi, and to a lesser
extent in Texas and Alabama,
damage has been done the grade
by recent heavy rains. Picking
has been checked for the time be-
ing, but with clearing weather
having been resumed, and with
lots of cotton open and labor, gen
orally speaking, plentiful, indica-
tons are that the crop will be very
rapidly gathered.
The rains have been of benefit
in stopping premature opening
and helping young bolls to mature.
Some new growth is noted in
many states, but in most sections
of the belt late frost date will be
necessary to mature this growth.
Should the date of killing frost be,
say week or more later than the
average, indications are that the
yield would be greatly increased
BY the addition of considerable top
crop. This state of affairs applies
only to bottom and heavy rich
lands, as cotton on hill lands is, as
a general thing, too nearly dead to
be improved by the precipitation.
Boil weeyils have been extreme
~ active with the wet weather,
and their rayages have greatly re-
duced the prospective yield in III
fected areas.
Present prices are proving at
tractive to farmers all over the
belt and most of them are rushing
their product to the market as fast
as ginned. A few are holding for
higher prices, but the number is
comparatively small.
Tennessee-The good rains of
the past fortnight have helped
cotton to some extent, but the
crop is still far off from the excel
lent promise it held before the
drouth. Bottom lands are show
ing improved growth as a result
of the moisture, but bill lands
were too far gone wnen the rains
came to be benefited thereby.
Picking is general and gins are be-
ginning to run in full blast.
