SIXTY POUNDS TO BUSHfl
Mills Begin This Morning to Grinding
on the Crop Of 1913-Believed That
Quality Of Wheat viii be Unusually
Good.

John B. Ashton, the we'll known
miller, on Thursday, bought his first
wheat of the crop of 1918. He pur-
chased 1000 bushels from M. Pink
Murphy, living on the Culleoka pike,
and one of the best known farmers
of the county.
The wheat was a magnificent quail
ty, weighing full sixty pounds to the
bushel, and grading strictly No. 2.
Mr.. Ashton stated that he had never
purchased any finer quality Of wheat
and he believes that the wheat this
year win all make fine sample.
Mr.. Ashton believes that. the crop
of the county will be of excellent
quality. He paid 80 cents bushel
for his first purchase but stated this
morning that he was by no means
sure that such a price could be long
maintained.
The Ashton mills went to work this
morning grinding the new purchase
and it will be ready for the trade and
for making biscuits by tomorrow
night.
The harvest in the county is over
and the threshers have already COM
menced With dry weather for a
week longer very large portion of
the crop of the county will have been
cut and threshed and landed safely in
the graneries without a drop Of rain
having fallen on it, which Is some
thing altogether out of the ordinary.

FAMOUS AER0NAuT
: KILLED BY FALL
Colonel Cody Meets Death al
. A'derShot, Eng,

London, Aug. 8.-Colonel S. F. Cody,
the famous Anglo-American aviator,
was killed in an eroplane accident at
A1dershot.
Cody was trying out new aeroplane
when he met his DEATH In the ma
chine with him was a passenger of
the name of Evans. They were flying
over the open country, most of which
is government land, in the Aldershot
district, and had just reached the
government house when their aero.
plane began travelling badly and final
ly fell with crash to the ground.
Several officials rushed to the spot
and found the bodies of Cody and
Evans lying beneath the aeroplane.
Cody was the most interesting fig.
Iure in aviation in the British Isles.
He was real soldier of fortune, with
a varied career behind him. He was
well known to the public in England
and very popular. He wore a som.
brero, a long mustache, an imperial
and long hair, and was almost an ex:
act replica of Buffalo Bill"
He came to England a number OF
years ago from the United States
where he had been a cowboy in the
West. He had a severe struggle to
obtain a start in England, but finally
his work as an aviator was so success
full that the British war office attach
ed him to it's aviation staff.
