MISSING" MAN WAS CONVICT
Long Mourned as Dead, English
Woman Learns Her Husband Had

Many people, doubtless, disappear
for reasons of their own. Debt
crime or some other hidden page il
their apparently blameless lives may
be the real reason for their going.
Little did the wife of a Manchester
man know into what terrible entangie-
ment her husband had got ten years
before. He was thought to be re-
spectacle merchant; his home life was
happy and blameless.
one day he went out TO buy a news
paper and returned no more.
For years his wife mOurned him as
dead, until one day during the war he
came back. He was now a soldier but
his disappearance was explained by
the fact that. under another name and
in another town, he had been carry
ing on a fraudulent stock and share
office-a "bucket-shOp"-an had been
arrested and sentenced to a long term.
He was released during the war, and
while serving in France had thought
of the once happy wife he had so
mlsled. Hence his sudden reappear-
ance to a world which had almost for
gotten him.-LondOa Answers.

Tate County Farmers to Plant Early
and Cut Acreage.
Senatobia.-W. J. Willis, state dem
onstration agent, delivered an interest
| ing address to the board of supervis-
ors the other day Among the many
good things he said; he outlined a plan
by which the farmers can beat the
boil weevil. Mr.. Wills stated that
there was only one way to do it and
that was to make the cotton before
the weevil came in such quantities to
eat it up. He cited as an example a
farmer residing in Jones county, Miss,
where weevil was at its worst This
farmer has raised from half to a bale
Of cotton right along. He uses about
200 pounds of acid phosphate and 100
pounds of nitrate soda to each acre
This fertilizer causes the cotton to
come up and make before the weevil
gets at it. Mr. Willis stated that the
government department of agriculture
for Mississippi had contracted for a
large quantity of this fertilizer to be
used in north Mississippi this next year
in growing cotton.
