Rare Old Coin.

Mr.. ID. b. Turpin, who lives at Mob.
erly, was caller at our office Monday,
and exhibited a rare old coin. This
coin was brought from the Philippine
Islands about thirteen years ago by
Mr.. Chas. Woosley. young man who
did service for Uncle Sam in the Is
lands. The coin is about the size of an
old-fashioned one cent piece-in fact,
we understand II is celt. On one
side of the coin is figure / in the CEN
ter, and around the edge is the inscrip-
lion, Sultanate of Brunei. datea 1894.
which according TO mathematical pre-
cisioD, gives the coin an age of Gil
years. On the opposite side of the coin
are heiroglyphics. 1t is, indeed, a rare
and peculiar coin.

The little chap in blue overalls, hold.
was one of the school children to help
in this new celebration in Hart Coun.
I ty last September Perhaps Farm
Day ought not to be spoken of as a
celebration at all, because it is merely
the school children going to school to
good farmer and his wife for a day.
But then il was a celebration for the
good neighbors and parents of the
school children, so perhaps ii was some
thing of a mixture of a celebration and
going to school that pleased every
body immensely.
Farm Day goes to show that new
things in the life of the rural schools
are springing up everywhere, and the
only difficulty in using them nationally
is, that the change of administration
at Frankfort is putting into Office a
new man as Superintendent every four
years. No matter how strong a school
man he might be, he has no time in
which to develop school matters over
a long period, and so the school and
the children suffer.
On the 10th of September the chill
dren and teachers of % schools went
visiting. Each school had selected the
best farm and home in the neighbor-
hood to visit for the whole day. Every
body had been notified a week in ad-
vance, so that each child and every
visitor brought a lunch. Instead of
"readin', writin', an 'rithmetic," under

NOTED FIRE CHIEF HERE.
MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS.

Maj. Fillmore Tyson, ex-fire
chief of Louisville. now repre-
senting the Ahrens.Fox Fire En-
CINE Co., was here this week in
the interest of his firm and 10
make a survey of local conditions
as regards our needs in the way
of a fire engine. The major is
probably the best known fire
chief in the country and is a man
of recognized ability along these
lines, therefore what he has TO
say is worth consideration.
He was frank to say that llick-
man, as a whole, was unusually
hazardous from a point of fires.
Hickman College, he said. was
our most dangerous fire-trap and
should, by all means, be provided
with some form of fire escapes.
Statistics show that twelve school
buildings burn each year in the
United States, with great loss of
life in many instances.
In a meeting with the city's
fire engine committee and others,
Maj Tyson outlined the needs of
Hickman aS he saw them. He
was of the opinion We did not
need an engine of as great ca
pacity as We were figuring on;
IN fact, the capacity of our water
mains did not warrant the large
type of engine. His company
has an engine of the smaller type
that will develop 300 pounds pres
sure at the nozzle of hose at
tachcd to a hydrant with only II
pounds pressure. 1t is not the
quantity Of water used but force
that counts in fire-fighting; the
same theory one observes in
fighting a grass fire with broom
or wet sack. Many other points
were brought out which the lay
men had overlooked.
At a meeting of the council
Monday night, it was decided to
ISSUE the bonds and advertise for
bids on same, to be opened Dee.
18th. These bonds are to be in
denominations of $500 each. with
6 per cent interest payable an
nnally. The city fathers viii
push the fire engine proposition
as rapidly aS the legal wheels
will turn. This means We may
get the machine some time in
January.

CORN CROP
NEARLY GATHERED.

The farmers of Mississippi
county are finishing gathering
what is probably the largest crop
OF corn eyer produced in the coun
IS. The increased acreage of
wheat caused much new ground
10 be placed in corn, and in some
localities the yield has been as
high as 50 bushels per acre.
Conservative estimates place the
average yield at about 80 bushels
per acre.
The sunflowcr aud cotton crops
have been harvested and the re
turns were gratifying, although
les, cotton was planted last season
owing to the drop in price. The
,mfIowcr crop has taken lis
place with the leading products OF
the county Charleston Rcpubh-
