(Anderson. Mail, 24th.)

\AhucISOH. MALL E4tn.)
Lots Of folks have heard stories of
men falling and breaking their
wooden legs, but this morning the
story was proven in Anderson.
A gentleman was walking along in
front Of B. o. Evans store on Main
street and slipped and fell heavily on
the sidewalk He did not rise and
several Of the young men from the
store hurried to his assistance They
found he was unable to rise, but
seemed to be suffering no pain. In
answer to their question If he was
hurt, the gentleman replied that he
thought his leg was broken.
His leg was broken-his artificial
leg-broken entirely and much too
broken to provide a means of loco
motion for him, so he lay up for re-
pairs in the Evans store while a
hunt was made for another leg. FL
nally orutches were supplied and he
went his way, having the distinction
Of having his leg broken after it had
been amputated.

NOTES OF THE FARM

corn middle, ridging, which soon
dries out, causing corn to fall down
more easily. Get Gee Whiz and
Fowler cultivator.
The inspection trip was profta-
BILE to all to show what better cul-
tivation will do. Owing 10 late
start, we did not cover half the
planned route. The trip showed
the necessity for better roads, the
need of enriching our land, the
need of deeper blowing, of better
and more suitable tools, the need
of working our crops more to keep
the weeds out, the need of level
cultivation to conserve moisture
and to make corn stand up better,
the need of soy beans in all corn
SO If corn fails we get the soys. All
the demonstration fields of corn
boys corn acres, corn and soy
beans, cotton, soy beans and peas in
rows thad had been worked showed
up better than any other similar
crops in their neighborhood. This
trip would have been valuable to
every farmer in Benton County.

E. DYE is DEAD.

E. Dye, well known citizen of
the Morris Chapel neighborhood,
died at Sheffield, Ala, Thursday of
last week. Having finished his
crop, Mr. Dye went to Sheffield to
get employment. The fact that he
was ruptured debarred him at the
Government works, but he was in
formed by the. examining board
that an operation would remove
his physical debility.
He had agreed to this, we are
told, but before submitting to an
operation and while walking along
the street he fell to the sidewalk
and expired in few minutes. In
asmuch as he was subject to heart
trouble, it is probable that this led
to his sudden demise.
The body was received by rela-
tives and friends here Saturday
and laid to rest in the family bury
ing ground on Sunday afternoon.
Much sympathy was expressed for
the bereaved family.
