RUSSELL governor
FRIERSON 1t. GOV.
LATEST RETURNS so INDICATE
One of the Closest Contests Ever Had
in State. Buck is Probably Nomi-
mated for Supreme Court Clerk.

While all of the returns from the
primary election held in the state are
not in, the indications are that Lee
NJ. Russell has been nominated gov
ernor over Oscar G. Johnston by a
very small majority. The last figures
available, with few small counties
not reported, give Russell 57,101 and
Johnston 5s,793, Russell majority of
1892.
John F. Frierson seems to be a
safe winner over H. H. Casteel for
lieutenant governor. Frierson is a
fine, capable fellow, and formerly rep
resented jefferson and Claiborne coun-
ties in the state legislature. He is
now representing Lowndes county, be-
ing a resident of Columbus. Claiborne
is proud of this victory.
w. j. Buck, at present private Sec
retary to the governor, may be nomi-
mated for clerk of the supreme court,
but it is close race between Buck
and the present incumbent, Geo. c..
Meyers. Buck was court stenograph-
er Of this district several years ago,
and has lots of friends in Claiborne
county and the whole ninth judicial
district.
The Reveille gave up hope of john
ston's nomination after the two Lon
gino letters. The Longino family felt
aggrieved at Johnston for the way
he had conducted his campaign in the
first primar~ In the early part of
the campaign Longino was recognized
as the leading candidate. Realizing
this, the Johnston forces made bitter
fight against him. The methods used
were questionable, and this oave such
offense to many supporters of Lon
gino that they either turned to Rus
sell or refused to vote.

TOWN VOTES TO INCREASE
LEVY FOR SCHOOL FUND

The election in Port Gibson on the
26th to determine whether the town
should increase the school levy from
3 to 41s mills was carried overwhelm-
ingly However, the vote was unex-
pectedly small, there being only 62
votes polled. 1t was oenerally con-
ceded that there would be very little
opposition to the measure, and many
voters seemed to be satisfied to let
their neighbors finish the job.
The schools are very much in need
of the additional income, both for the
purpose Of increasing the pay Of the
teachers and improving buildings.

Notwithstanding the extremely high
price of lumber, there is more build

for the past several years. Good
lumber is selling at from $50 to $50
per thousand, but this does not deter
those who feel that they need some

TOMATO SPRAYING PAYS

Leaf blight diseases which attack
tomato plants cause a great deal of
loss each season by defoliating the
plants and causing their premature
death. A. L. Haley of the East Dale
Canning Co., Seymour, Mo-, sprayed
his forty-acre field of tomatoes last
year at the suggestion of the Missouri
College of Agriculture. While spray
ing was started too late to be fully ef-
fective, Mr.. Haley estimates that the
crop was increased at least one ton
per acre by spraying. Tomatoes were
worthe $15 ton, the spraying cost
less than So per acre, even though la
Dor was scarce and expensive. The
leaf blight is very prevalent this year,
and may do serious damage if not
checked. The material recommended
for spraying tomatoes is Bordeaux
mixture made up of four pounds of
copper sulphate, four pounds of lime,
and fifty gallons of water, the mater
ials being dissolved separately and
then poured together. If fruit worms
are troublesome one and one-half
pounds of arsenate Of lead powder
may be added for each fifty gallons Of
spray. A small compressed or KNAPP
sack sprayer is most convenient for
spraying. Generally, the earlier
spraying is started, the more effective
| it is in keeping the plants green and
healthy. Eggplant blight and fruit
rot are controlled by spraying in the
same way. Celery blight, melon
blight and mildew are also checked
very well by spraying with Bordeaux.

No convenience adds more to the
comfort and well-being of the family
on the farm than a good system of
running water. After it has been in
use for some time the farmer and his
family usually wonder how they ever
got along without it. Carrying water
is hard, tiresome labor and usually
must be done at the busiest time.
when other work is most pressing.
Extension Circular 40, by F. c. Fen
ton, explains systems, from the sim
plest to the most elaborate, by which
running water may be had in the
farm home. This circular may be had
upon request from the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture, Col
umbia.

Flowing With Fordson Tractors

A new occupation has developed in
Southeast Missouri in the way CT
tractor service for the trade.
Two young men-A. G. Murphy,
better known in baseball circles as
"Peg Leg" Murphy, and Gene Mitch
ell, both from Farmington--are now
blowing on the A. J. Matthews farm
at Oran at contract rates.
Flowing began about two weeks ago.
Recently Harvey Halle, another Farm
ington boy, came down with another
tractor and began blowing for the
same men. Now two Fordson tractors
are blowing steadily all day on the
big farm.
Contract rates average $500 an acre
and the two men operating one tractor
pillow about Is acres each day, begin
ming about 3 a. m. and quitting near
midnight. One of the men gets up
early and plows till noon; then the
other takes the tractor and pIows un-
til late into the night. The tractors
each pull two 14-inch plows and the
expenses of the machine will approx
innate So day for oil and gas for
each one.
When asked if paying So an acre
was better than blowing with teams,
Emory Mathews replied that it was,
especially when the ground was dry.
"They can make money" he said,
"and we can save by it,"
where are they going from your
place when they finish plowing?"
ooh, we will put them to disking,
he replied, for blowing on the Glover
dale Farm at Oran is job Of thou
sand or so acres.-Sikeston Herald.

place of A. G. Murphy.

Fourteen Hogs Stolen

One night last week IA head of
hogs were taken from the pen at the
Oddly Layton Feed Store here near
the public square. The hogs would
average in weight about 1856 pounds
each, or about $43 per head, or in other
words about 5000. The fact that there
was no break in the fence, and thu
gate tightly closed, shows plainly that
the porkers were led out and driven
away. Up to the time these lines are

found.-Perry Co ntnSyuu bl666666.D

Notices were posted at the plant of

the rate. An official stated that the
