No doubt next fall there will

be disappointed if they are not
supplied with seed corn this
spring.
If any man in the county is in
need of seed corn he can order
from Mr.. G. T. Wyatt, District
Agent, Hopkinsville, KY. Make
your checks payable to, sSecre-
tary Western Kentucky Board of

Address your letter to the
above address. Corn is guaran-

less than two bushels.
Your happiness next winter
will depend largely upon your
corn crop this summer.

Look Out!

Ollie Fannin, of Yocum, a road
hand who failed to perform when
called upon by his overseers, was
hailed before Judge Sebastian
and a jury of his peers in County
court Monday. The verdict read
"$11.00 and trimmings. "
This is the first case of an of
fense of this kind to come before
Judge Sebastian and is is a fair
sample of what other like offend
ers will get. The people of this
county have said, by their ballots,
that they did not want a road
tax. The authorities say that
every mothers son within the
prescribed age shall work full
time, pay a fine or go to Jail.
