 I was called down on my statement about town men not knowing how to farm, the other day. A man from His empower asked him if he knew how to plant and he replied that he did. He was given planter and told to use it. He left the cotton spider in and planted one acre and a quarter that day.

 Jud Simpson is the hero of the Rec tor farm. He killed wolf He was coming with his brother from May flower when a negro woman called him and said there was something un- der the house. She handed him their gun and he looked under the house along the gun barrel. seeing two big eyes, he fired. The thing ran out and he fired again and then he and his brother, Skeet. ran into the house. The thing laid down in the road and he shot it again. When he saw what fierce looking thing it was he got badly frightened at what he had done The thing had just eaten the head off the negro's dog when Jud interfered with it. The negro took the animals skin to town and got S5.75 for it. The buyer said it was a genuine timber wolf. They are dangerous animals and wolf is seldom killed nowadays in Pulaski. though they are worse now than ever known. Capt. Rector says the wolf trailed me over there from the other side of the river. as none
