CONFEDERATE REUNIONS.

Every year just before the meet
ing OF the Confederate veterans in
their annual reunions, the report be
comes current that it will be the last
reunion of the heroes of the South
Just how such reports get started OF
why they should receive any credence
1t is difficult to understand. Any in
vestigation among the veterans viii
quickly prove that they are without
the slightest foundation in fact. Ev
cry soldier of the South is prompt to
state that he expects to attend an an
nual reunion of some kind just as long
as he has the physical strength to get
there. 1t is true that their ranks are
becoming thinner each year. The
youngest of them have gone several
miles already beyond the allotted
three score and ten. 1t has been al
ready fifty-four and half years since
Appomattox. A soldier who was nine
teen at the close of the war, and not
many were younger than that is al
ready seventy-three. When men reach
that age their life expectancy is not
very great. But many of these old
men are still young in spirit, they are
vigorous mentally and physically and
they thoroughly enjoy reunion.
Those who have attended these re-
unions can well appreciate the senti-

FAMOUS DRY" TOWN TO BE
SCENE OF WHITE RIBBON
CONVENTION IN 1920.

Hartman was selected Monday aft
ernoon as the meeting place OF the
state W. c. T. L. convention in 1920.
1t is appropriate that the temperance
workers should meet at Hartman, be-
cause that town has the distinction
of having been dry from the first
day of its existence. The founders
of the town stipulated in every deed
that the property should never be
used for the purpose of selling liquor
and IL that stipulation should be VIC
lated the property would revert to the
grantor. That was before the state
went dry. Consequently liquor has
never been sold legally in Hartman.

ENOUGH TO SAVE GREAT DEAL
OF CRIMSON CLOVER
ALFALFA IS GENERALLY SAFE
II Frost Should Come as Late as il
Did Last Year Would Prove a Great
Boon to Pastures-Forty Days With,
out Any Rain.

Although little too late to make
fall pastures, unless the first killing
frost :" of the season should be later
than the average date, as late for ex-
ample as it was last year. month
from this time, the splendid rains that
fell all over the county on Saturday
and Sunday will be worth much to the
farmers. Where the crimson clover
was holding at all it will be safe now
The same is true of rye and other
fall pastures.
On the best lands the clover has
stood the drouth splendidly. 1t has
even made very satisfactory growth
and with warm weather now will com.
pletely cover the ground before frost
comes. The red clover and alsyke
in many places were suffering from
the long hot spell, but they have al
ready "perked up" considerably.
The situation was daily growing
more and more serious all over the
county. Water courses were lower
than they had been in many years,
and on a great many farms water for
stock was an acute problem. The
lands have been so baked with the hot
suns that plows stood abandoned in
many fields. The entire month of
September passed without a trace of
rain. 1t had been about forty days
during which no rain at all fell, most
unusual occurrence for this county.
The hottest and most uncomfortable
weather of the year came during Sep
TENDER another very unusual circum-
stance.
The rain was general and although
not enough has fallen yet to put
good season in the stubble of I'M
turned lands. it will immensely bene-
fit all growing crops. The laying of
the dust alone will prove great boon
to the people. Prof. Mclean. the coun-
ty agent, advises farmers to reseed
crimson clover at once in the thin
places where the plants died during
the drouth. Although little late he
believes that the results from this
crop are so profitable that they can
afford the risk.
The alfalfa of the county is safe,
having stood the drouth remarkably
well. t.tE
