Does the Will
Provide for It?

This Is the question that is now ag-
itating the minds Of practically all the
citizens Of Pennington and cOmmuni-
ty, regarding the erection of the pro-
posed long Memorial building in this
nity It Is possible that the death last
week Of Mrs. Jennie Bisby, at her

plicate this matter. unless such pro
vision has been. made in her viii. AL
yet no one here is able to say definite
ly that such d clause ii in the will,
though 1t is known that such was the
desire Of deceased.
II such provision has been over
looked, then it is altogether likely
that her desires in this matter may
never be carried out, though bids for
such structure have already been
received and forwarded to the late
home Of deceased. It is known that
several Of her heirs are opposed to
such beneficence being carried out,
though p. G. Hunt, Of this city, one Of
the heirs, Is strongly in favor Of her
known desires in this matter being
carried out, fully and completely.
It Is the sincere hope Of everyone
here that necessary provision has been
made in the disposition Of her great
wealth 70 insure this Memorial to her
old home town, and that her final de-
sires may be carried out in this mat
ter. Definite information in regard to
this matter is expected to be received

Fruit Prospects
Probably Ruined

The Easter storm, which struck
hard in this community Sunday night
and continued to Monday noon, bring
ing real twister, which depressed the
mercury to about 15 degrees above
zero, completely biighted most Of the
fruit, the trees being in full bloom.
The storm was accompanied by quite
a heavy snow storm, adding touch
to the unreasonable weather that was
truly depressing. The full bloom Of
the peach, pear, cherry and plum
trees had the appearance Of having
been boiled and baked. as were also
the leaves.
Z Much other vegetation, which was
advanced perhaps d month, was treat
ed in like manner, SO that the damage
wrought is inestimable. The storm
was general, and from reports re-
ceived many Localities were struck
much more severely than here. Many
fear that the wheat, much Of which
had already jointed, is ruined also,
but many hope that such is not the
case, and that It win come forth with
little or no permanent injury.

Brings Home
Many Premiums

A, J, Hawn, better known in this
community as "Andy", accompanied
by his st. Bernard puppy. "Four o.,
Spades" returned Wednesday from
the big dog show which was held in
the Coliseum in St. Louis on Monday
and Tuesday. 1t was a great occasion
for dog owners and dog lovers, there
being about 45o exhibits Of All breeds
entered.
Andy and Foiir o. Spades bore es-l
idence in abundance of having made
"a "killin'" at that big exhibit, they
being bedecked with three blue rib
bons, one special green. and three pur-
Pile, or championship, ribbons. The
purple ribbons were taken by "Four
o. Spades" from dog that had worn
them for two years as international
champion. According to the Globe
Democrat Of Wednesday, "Four o.
Spades won first prize in the rough
puppy class, the rough novice class,
and the rough winners, which were all
the exhibits in which he was entered.
That "Four o. Spades is some pup
there is no doubt, as is proven by the
many splendid emblems he secured in
one Of the big dog shows of the coun-
try. In fact the dog from which the
purple ribbons were captured had but
recently been imported from Switzer-
land and had already Cleaned up"
both in New York and Chicago.
While "Four o. Spades is truly

old, he could easily be mistaken for
a real dog, as his present weight ID
81 pounds, and is about half the size
of a full grown rhinoceros. But in

Think Louisiana
is a Great State

Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Huffman and
Miss Mary Day returned Tuesday
from weeks trip to Louisiana
where they went to inspect the large
plantation owned by the late Jacob
Day, at Bosco, now the property Of
Miss Day. This plantation contains
more than 1900 acres, which is culti-
waited by many tenants. The visitors
were most favorably impressed with
the country, the soil Of which is un-
usually rich and productive. The sea
son, they think, is at least six weeks
ahead of ours, as corn is already up
and cotton planting is now in prog
ress.
Especially pleased were they with
the apparent condition Of the negroes
in that country, where they compose
a large majority Of the inhabitants.
They are so different from the race in
this country as to make the change
most notable There they are almost
invariably sober. Industrious ana are
a conscientious church-going people;
they are not crap shooters. and rarely,
if ever, can any Of them be persuaded
to hunt or fish on Sunday. They are
also polite, and there appears to be
no need for the law constantly beck
oning them away from trouble. They
appear to be Of a different race from
many Of the colored folk Of this
country, and are considered to be
tirst-class tenants.
1t is needless to say that Miss Day
thinks considerably more Of her Louis
lana plantation than she did previous
to visiting it. That State is now rapf
idly filling up with prosperous, pro-
gressiye, settlers. and the day is per-
haps not far distant when Louisiana
