the columns perhaps the largest amount
of advertising that was ever carried in
any regular weekly edition of the
paper in its half century Of existence,
Note, too, that it is being carried atno
loss in reading matter, the resent issue
being of twelve pages instead OF the
usual eight. This fine increase in the
business accorded the paper is crafty
ing.
The last reports The Falcon was able
to get from d. D. Reeves of the fourth
district were that he was getting along
fair y well. He was carried to Mem
pbis last week where he underwent an
operation successfully and it was felt
bV his family and physicians that he
would improve rapidly after the opera
ton. This condition was brought about
by the'pistol wound he received some
time ago and which was mentioned in
these columns at the time.

The pretty weather of the first of the
present week was favorable to plant
ing oats and The Falcon learns from
farmers that the acreage will be larger
in this section than for years. The
scarcity and the high price for grain
and hay are making farmers think of
plans TO fill out their feed supply till
corn can be made, and they are right
in deciding that in no other way can
the gap be filled as we'll and as cheaply
as in growing good crop of oats.
They are now selling at retail for 81 25
per bushel and dealers are not ma ing
very much on them then.
