U. s. Plans to
 Purchase Part of
 Mexican Republic
Commission of Five Appoint ed to Negotiate for Purchase of Lower California a n d Other Mexican Territory.

A press dispatch from Wash ington says that the appointment of a commission of five members to include one senator and one representative. to negotiate with Mexico for the purchase of Lower California and the north eastern states of Mexico was asked in a resolution introduc- ed Tuesday by Representative Caldwell. The government of Mexico is invited to name a sim liar commission. Approproxi- mately $25, ,0OO is asked for the work, and the resolution pro- vides that the report of the com mission be submitted at the opening of the next session of congress.
 The defacto government has conceded to all U. s. demands and peace again reigns on the border except for the occasional outbreaks of the Villistas just over the line in the interior. Carranza is negotiating for a loan of $25, ,OO0, ,0O0 from the United States and he has been asked to name his own terms upon which he would guarantee peace and safety of American in Tn Mexico.

Twenty-Six New Ones Commended
 to Pension Rolls
Franklin County Board Adds More Than Score of Names to l75 Already on List for Confederate Pensions.

The Franklin County Pension Board met in annual session Monday morning in the grand jury room at the courthouse and twenty six ConfederateV Veterans, wives and dependents were granted pensions. Five applica- tions were refused on account of insufficient proof. On account of the recent resignation of c. w. Mckinney, and his successor failing to be appointed. h e Board sitting Monday was com posed of but two members-Dr. H. H. Turner, of this city, and w. P. McMath. of Charleston. The pension is supposed to am- ount to about $100 per year, but 1t is estimated that the amount each will receive this year will fall considerably short of that amount. There are now over POO pensions on the books at the county clerks office. County Clerk Hill is secretary of the board while Dr. H. H. Turner is president.
 At the meetingit was brought out that twelve old soldiers and four widows of veterans had passed away since the last meet ing. The amount paid out in pensions last year was $10, 1850.

Neighbor s Alter cation May Result
 in Death O f One
Tim Hughes Stabbed Four or Five Times About Head--- Think Wounds Will Prove Fatal.

According to information re- ceived here Monday, ri m Hughes, a guest at the home of George Gooden. a tenant on the J. s. Turner farm some four or five miles southeast of Ozark, just over the line in Logan coun- ty. was stabbed. probably fatally last Friday. It is alleged that Gooden did the stabbing and his arrest was made as soon as officers arrived on the scene.
 It seems that the two men had been imbibing rather too freely of alcohol, familiarly known as "mula blanca" or white mule" and this is said to have caused the trouble. Dr. Gibbons was called and dressed the wounds of the injured man who stated that his recovery was doubtful. One bad cut was received across the face while the muscles and liga- ments at the back of the neck were completely severed which allows his head to fall down alongside his chest, he being unable to hold it up. Officers here were communicated with but as the affair did not occur in this county, Logan county officials were notified.

Boys of Company K, A. N. G., Re-
 cipients of Bibles
Patriotic Citizens of Franklin County Quickly Raise Fund for Purchase of Books for Soldier Boys.

Several days ago a campaign
 was launched for the purpose of securing funds sufficient for the purpose of supplying each sol dier in Company K, National Guard, with a brand new, neatly bound Testament. Dr. H. H. Turner was appointed for the purpose of carrying on the work in the performance of which he did not experience the slightest difficulty. The books were re- ceived the latter part of last week and each boys name was carefully written in the respect i've books after which they were packed and sent to the Company K command at Fort Logan H. Roots. The books make valu- able as we'll as appropriate sou venirs and will serve as a re- hinder of the high esteem in which they are held by the folks back home.
 The work of mastering the National Guard into the federal service will soon be completed and it is expected that some will be unable to pass the physical and will be dischar- ged and return home. A recent ruling of the War Department allows the discharge of a guardsmen who have families dependant upon them and it is also expected that some will take advantage of this and re- turn to their families as early as practicable. A plan is on foot to increase the present number of the National Guard to double strength.

Elbertas to Begin Moving Latter Part

Lack of Rainfall Will Cut Crop Short---End of Week Ex- pected to See Shipment in Carload Lots.

According to estimates of D. E. Anderson, who will, handle the peach crop this season. the fruit will begin to be shipped out in car lots the latter part of this week, several days earlier than car shipments were made last year. The dry weather is given as the cause for the peaches ripening earlier and it is also stated that the crop will be somewhat damaged by lack of rainfall. The trees are not as full as in former years, but it was thought what peaches there were would be of larger size and command a better price on the markets.
 According to the Bureau of Crop Estimates the entire state crop for 1916 will be 3,62O, 900 bushels against 5,940, 900 last year. Forecast on other crops follows:
 Corn July 1 forecast 61, 5OO.- GOO bushels; production last year, 62, 100, 900 bushels.
 Wheat July l forecast 2, 2AO,. 900 bushels; production last year 2, 750, GOO bushels.
 Oats-July 1 forecast 6, 80, 900 bushels; production last year 10, ,125, 900 bushels.
 Potatoes July l force as t l, ,930, 1000 bushels; production last year 2, 2,520, 900 bushels.

While there have been won- derful advancements made in all lines in this great nation of ours, it is agreeably surprising to note what has been accomplished in the agricultural profession, the living factor of all. During the past ten years Franklin county has not been asleep on picket either. We have taken great pains in making a retrospective survey of what this county has done. In doing SO. we might mention a few of the county's progressive farmers scattered in various sections of the coun- ty, as space forbids giving more. There are many others just like the planters named.
 There are over 1000 acres of terraced land in the county and the county agent will terrace several thousand acres more this fall-that itself is of incalculable value to the farmers. There are 45 dipping vats in the county in which over 5000 cattle have already been dipped, consequent. ly the cattle are thriving splen- didly and will bring better pri- ces. There was at first consid- erable opposition to the tick eradication law in this county, but today there are very few, if any. who oppose it. Farmers in several sections have already perfected arrangements to ship several cars of thoroughbred cattle into the county this fall. The county agent has vaccinrted more than 500 hogs against cholera.
 Many farmers are planning to SOW several hundred acres to crimson clover in their cotton to be turned under in the spring and followed with corn. Prac- ticall;' 800 acres will be sowed to rye for a winter cover crop and pasture. Forty acres will be planted to alfalfa in one and two acre plots on different farms. This does not include the land that has been sowed to these crops before. but land owned by

men who have never sowed these crops before. For instance J. s. Turner has 20 acres in alfalfa from which he cut about 26 tons the first cutting, 29 tons the sec ond and the third cutting will be made next week. He ex- poets five cuttings from the field.
 J. K. Ford, of Grover town ship, has 250 acres in corn which he is going to feed on the farm and walk to market.
 MT, Cole, of Six Mile town ship. is preparing to build a 250- ton concrete silo with a water reservoir on top from which he will run water to all parts of his home and to the pasture where he grazes a large herd of thoro- bred Holsteins.
 R. D. Hill, of Effa, is raising a large number of hogs on rape, peas, sorghum, bermuda and peandts at 2i cents per pound. Much credit is due the farm agents who have been employ ed in this county for awakening such interest in better farming and stockraising. The quorum court by a majority of two de- feated the appropriation for a farm demonstrator and the pres ent demonstrators county half salary is being paid by the bank CTS. merchants, liverymen, real estate men, lawyers and a few progressive farmers of Ozark. Charleston and Altus. Agent Williams has organized several boys corn, cotton, peanut and pig clubs in various vicinities throughout the county. Another l factor that figures are too tame to estimate the value is the great work of these clubs, beside the valuable knowledge the boys are getting in the best methods of farming. In the near future the farmer who is not up-to-date in farming will almost be forced to go Way back and sit down"
