+. NJ. Mannan, Of McAlister, was
in town Wednesday on business. He
is recovering from a severe spell Of
sickness. II was necessary for him
to remain in Melrose several weeks
under the doctors care. Last year he
had in 200 acres of wheat and it av-
eraged IA bushels to the acre. He
said it cost him about l2c q bushel to
have it marketed as he was unable to
do the job himself. This Melted him
a neat little sum for his summers
work. He is again located on his farm
and able to direct the work. This year
he has planted about 1875 acres to his
favorite crop-wheat. There has not
been sufficient moisture to bring up
the wheat but M. Mannan is of the
opinion that it will come in due time.
He is improving from his illness and
expects to do the work of a much
younger man although he is reaching
toward his three score and ten years
old. Here's hoping he may live to
produce many more nice crops upon
his "dry" farm.

out any apparent support hangs suspended
In the air. Mr.. Thurston invited many OF
the audience upon the stage to examine this
feat but those who responded to the magi-
clans invitation returned to their seats mys-
tilted, and one gentleman who went to ex-
anime the illusion loudly announced that
"it beat the Old Boy himself"
Peace and Old Glory" a very timely
feat introduced the producing of American
flags in numbers from all corners of the
stage. and this trick evoked many rounds
of applause.
The most amusing ,part of the show came
when the Dancing Handkerchief" hoped
and swung around in gay manner with
careless abandon. but the gentleman who
lent the magician the piece of linen abso-
mtely refused to take IL back, because he
did not want to have anything bou1cng
around in his pockets. one could hardly
blame him.
