Our Capital City.-A little girl who
lives in a town not over a hundred
miles from Greenwood has relatives
in Jackson. She has had several
years in school and is very bright for
a child Of her age. Recently she ask
ed her mother if she might write a
letter to her grandparents at Jackson,
a thing she had done several times
before. She was told that she might.
Her mother had on the previous &C.
casions addressed the envelope for her
little daughter, but forgot to do it
this time, and the matter escaped her
memory entirely. Shortly after she
was in Jackson and was surprised
when her parents showed her the let
ter, the envelope of which was ad-
dressed to Mr.. So-and-so, Jackasston,
Miss.
How's This One?-Two young men
working in Greenwood occupy the
same room with a third. Two of the
young men, whom we will call A and
B, sleep in a double bed, the third, C,
sleeps in a two-third bed by himself.
A few afternoons ago A went to his
room after quitting work with the in
tention of dressing to 60 out that
night. He entered the room, undress-
ed, got into his bath robe and went
to the bath room. In undressing he
laid his trousers upon the bed. After
completing his bath he returned to
his room. c had a pair of trousers ly-
ing across his bed. A dressed and
reached into his pockets for something
and gasped. His money, watch, and
everything was gone. Not even his
pocket handkerchief was left in his
trousers. Every corner and nook in
the room was searched, but nothing
could be found Of the articles and
money missing. Investigation showed
that he had on the right trousers.
After then c came in and in chang.
ing trousers discovered all of the
missing articles in his pockets.

Scared to Death.-The other night
two young men who room together
went to the room to retire. Both were
smoking cigarettes and layed the
burning ends in an ash tray on the
table. After undressing they got into
bed and were about asleep, when all
at once there was a glaring bright
light which lit up the room, and a
s%puttering. and a cracking was heard.
Both boys Jumped from the bed scar
ed half to death and found that the
cigarette stubs,had ignited a bunch Of
matches in the ash tray that had got
ten damp and stuck together.

RESTING A N D IS FOLLY.

Those who practice resting the land instead of
planting it to some legume should ponder well the
result Of an experiment at the Alabama Expert
ment Station. On a plot where velvet beans were
grown the year before the yield of sorghum hay
was 1864 pounds, while on similar land where no
crop at all was grown the year before the yield of
sorghum hay was only 1892 pounds. Oats yield
ed 1886 bushels per acre after velvet beans and
only 81 bushels after crab grass and weeds. Idle
or resting" acres are Improbable; the land
should be kept busy growing a profitable or a soil
improving crop, says the Progressive Farmer.
The practice is in no sense justified in the
South, because of the great loss of humus and nj
trogenE which would result to our long, warm sum-
merS, open winters and excessive rainfall. More
over. there is no need for the practice. A legume
crop can be grown on the land, which will add to
the humus supply instead of depicting it, and in.
crease the available nitrogen as well as the actual
amount present and still leave plenty of time for
thoroughly, preparing the land for fall or spring
crops. :

Did It Ever Happen To Y0u?-A
prominent citizen Of Greenwood, the
manager of one of the largest corpor-
atoms doing business in the city, is
afflicted with rheumatism. A few
nights ago he went home from his
work tired and worn out, but with no
signs of the rheumatism. Along to-
ward the wee small hours of the morn
ing he had a dream in which he
though that he was in trouble with a
number Of negroes. After knocking
several of them down and otherwise
butchering them up, one of them drew
a gun and fired point blank at him.
The bullet took effect in his knee.
Right then he walked and felt for the
blood on his knee and found the rheu-
mates had him.
