FARMERS OF CHAPEL HILL

THE farmers OF Marshall county

insures the farmers a ready and prof.

The farmers are finding that the first
essential in the successful conduct of
a dairy farm is silo, Both for grow

silo is absolutely necessary for profit
making, | am just back from that
county with a nice bunch OF orders
for silos and have today sent to ,he
factory orders that amount to more

PROSPECTS ARE FINE
FOR HEAVY CROP OF
FRUIT Of ALL KINDS
NOW CLOSE TO MAY AND YET
THERE is NO FROST OR
FREEZE.
PEACHfS and APPLES HEAVY
Many of the Owners Have Beaten on
Some of the Fruit From the Trees
in order to Keep Them From Get
ting Too Heavy and Breaking Down.

Fruit prospects? Well, in long
time l have never seen better said
one of the best informed fruitmen
and horticulturists of the county
day or two ago.
Peaches are far advanced, and I'M
less there is a heavy frost within the
next few nights, they are going to be
as plentiful or more so this year than
twelve months ago. They are looking
fine. and people are going to have
plenty of them to eat and cook this
summer.
THE apple crop looks as promising
as the peaches. They are not as far
advanced as the latter are, but 1t
looks like they are going to be very
heavy, just one of those old time
crops"
There is no doubt that the pros
poets for the crop are most favorable,
In fact, the complaint has been hear
that the apples and peaches are too
thick upon the trees, and some of the
owners are having a part of them
Knocked off, in order to keep the
trees from breaking down.
1t is hardly probable that there will
be a killing frost or freeze the rest
of the spring. The such has been
heard Of but II is hardly probable or
likely. There are few frosts after
Man /. So people may feel pretty
sure of their fruit crops this year.

PROSPEROUS DAYS
NEAR, SAYS CLEWS
MORE ECONOMY THAN NECESSA.
RY. AND PURsE-sTRINGs MUST
BE LooSENED.

Henry Clews, of New York, in his
weekly financial review, summarizing
the events of the past week and max
ing prophecy as to the future, says:
General business already shows
positive improvement; slight it may
be, but real, nevertheless; and there
are excellent reasons for anticipat-
ing its continuance. The country has
been through a prolonged period OF
severe economy. This economy vas
greatly intensified by fear of serious
consequences following the war. Er-
cry business man upon whom initia-
tive depends knows to his sorrow
what deterrent factor apprehension
has been in the last few months.
Many people, particularly the well-to-
do, have economical more than was
necessary. the result being decreased
savings which must now come out
either in the investments or larger
purchases of some sort When the
pnrse-strings are loosened and the
number of unemployed is decreased,
all kinds of merchandise must pass
more freely into consumption, hence
one must look for a better distribu-
ton in the retail trade.

OVER $4,000 FLIES
KILLED BY Kids
HOPKINSVILLE, CHILDREN RE-
cEIVE OVER 1000 THEATRE
TICKETS AS PRIZES.

HOPkINSVILLE, KY April 20
Two weeks ago the civic league aud
manager of one of the picture shows.
started a crusade among theschildTen
for the determination Of the house
fly in Hopkinsyille Every child who
cared to enter the contest was fur
nished with a fly swatterand offered
one ticket of admission to the picture
show for killing three flies or more.
The children, both white and col
ored, took to the proposition with a
vim and q report just issued fro" the
civic league committee having the af-
fair in charge shows that total Of
l6,042 flies have actually been turned
in and that for these the picture show
has issued 1892 admission tickets.
Once started on the crusade the emil
dren gave no quarter and llost Of
them went far beyond the requisite
three flies and brought in as nigh as
a hundred at a time. And they kept
coming back each day with other lots,
each time of course getting another
ticket
The result is that flies are very
scarce in Hopkinsville just now Eur
thermore the good results are expect
ed to show all through the summer,
for it is figured that a fly killed in
the spring before it deposits its eggs
means thousands of flies less during
the summer following.

this house never buy anything at the

Then don't you see a notice affixed

Weds In a Plaster Suit.

Miss Mary Elizabeth Seraner came
all the way to Saline county from
Fayetteville, o., TO become the bride
of Francis de Sales Schneider, a
young farmer near Saline, and even
then came near losing out for delay
at least, but she was equal to the
occasion and Is now Schneider's
bride. says a Saline (Kan.) dispatch
to the Kansas City Journal.
The promised delay in the nuptial
affairs of the young couple was
caused by Schneider getting into
runaway accident and sustaining a
broken leg, fractured ribs and bruises
all over his body, and his sweetheart
found him bound in plaster OF paris
casts SO tight he could not move.
The situation was discussed, the
young lady hooked up the favor1te
horse to a buggy and came to Saline,
secured the marriage license, engaged
the preacher and returned to the
farm.

OCCUPATION OF DOOMED CITY
DELAYED IN EFFORT TO

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Aug. 3-Warsaw is ready
for the evacuation, which was init
mated by the Russian war minister in
his address in the Duma.
For days there has been an exodus
of the population, Factories, govern
ment institutions and hospitals have
been moved, and the city has been
stripped of everything that might be
of military value to the Teutons.
That the German Empress will not
accompany Emperor William in his
state entry into Warsaw, is indicated
by report from Berlin that the En-
press has returled to Berlin from East
Prussia, where she has been visiting
the battlefields.
The Germans captured Mitau, the
capital of Courland, and are now with
in striking distance of Riga, the seat
of the Governor General of the Baltic
Provinces and Russia's greatest port
on the Baltic.
With the taking of Mitau and the
'o1ooiC PlO6Icss VI VIC lis Sheiho CooI
of Poniewesch, according to the Ber-
lin statement, it would seem that
communication by rail from Courland
and Kovono eastward has been sew
cred by the Germans in their plan to
cut off the retreat Of the Russian
Grand Duke.
With the ports of Memel, Libau and
Windau already in their hands, should
the Germans be successful in their
quest of Riga they would shut Russia
off entirely from the sea by way Of
her southwesternmost governments.
The British steamer Clintonia of g.
S5S tons, was shelled and sunk by a
German submarine. Eleven men were
killed on the vessel and fifteen were
injured.
The British steamer Benvorlich,
which left Manila May 1st for London
by way of Marseilles, has been sunk.
Sixteen members of the crew have
been landed.
The British steamer Fulgens, Of O.

The British Admiralty announced
that British submarine had returned
and reported the sinking of German
torpedo boat destroyer, believed to be
of the G196 class, on July 26, near the
