 Hatton still continues to grow as the Hatfield Lumber Company has put up blacksmith shop which will be greatly appreciated by the busy farm CTS. Mir. Simmons of Hatfield has charge of it. His wife and baby came down Monday.
 The rain we had this week has been such help to the gardens and setting out of late plants. Cucumbers are ready to be shipped and good prospects for the cantaloupe crop is reported. The oats are cut. Those that sowed on good moist soil reaped the kind that grew waist high with heavy grain.
 Speaking of good things to eat w. Bismark has raised some excellent caulihower which is rather rare vegetable in this section. He raised about one hundred plants of the Early Sudwball variety and are now ready for the market. They can be grown the same as cabbage only set closer together in the row. MT. Bismark is one of our most progressive farmers who never fails to get best results from his garden.

LIVED FIVE DAYS ON
 DIET OF BLACKBERRTES
Thomas Cudney, an Old Soldier of Grannis, Had Trying Experience
 When Lost in Woods.

when Lost Tn WOO0S.
 To have wandered alone in the woods for five days, with nothing to live upon save wild blackberries, was the trying experience of Thomas Cud- ney, an old soldier living near Gran his. Though searching parties ranged the woods seeking the aged man, be- lieving ne was dead, Cudney was not found and returned home by his own efforts.
 Cudney is a veteran of the war be- tween the states and draws a pension regularly from the federal govern ment. He makes his home about two miles west of Grannis but of late had been visiting at the home of j.. w McCraven. Last Wednesday after having cashed a pension voucher, Cudney failed to return to the Me Craven home. His absence led to a fear that foul play had been com mitted and a searching party was sent out to see if the old soldiers body could be found. Three different days were devoted to efforts to locate the missing man, without avail.
 Monday evening Mr. Cudney re- turned to the McCraven home, weak from lack of food, but with a spirit undaunted. He stated that during the five days he had been away, wild blackberries had been his principal diet. The old soldier said that in all his wanderings he did not believe at any time he was more than two miles away from the McCraven home. He had kept travelling round and round until he chanced upon a familiar landmark Monday which gave him 6 chance to find his way home.

Preacher Not
Immune From
City Hall Ak

Another negro employe Of the admin
istratiOn of Mayor Charles w. Jewett has
dropped by the Wayside. This time the
city has lost the services Of the Rev.
Robert 7. Christian. minister OF the
gospel on Sunday and elevator operator
at the city hall on week days. The rev
erend elevator man dropped off of the
city pay roll last Saturday morning,
after a disagreement with Charles Brown
Sr., negro custodian of the city hall. The
sQuabble was a family quarrel, which
came to a head during the absence from
the city OF the mayor.
TIL Rev. Christian was one of the chief
negro speakers In Mayor Jewett's cam
palgn four years ago. for the Republicans
In the national campaign last fall and
for Mr.. Thomas G. Howe News -Jewett
candidate for mayor, in the recent city
primary. He came to public notice q
few weeks before the primary when q
delegation Of young women employees at
the city hall complained to the mayor
that he had been disrespectful toward
them.
Ordinarily the city hall closes al noon
on Saturday Because of the crowd of
people who were at the board OF public
safety office on the third floor trying to
get fireworks permits last Saturday
morning Custodian Browp decided that
the Rev. Christians elevator would have
to run little longer than usual. Rev.
Christian had something else to do and
objected 1t is said. The custodian told
the elevator man he could either work
overtime or get out of his car and stay
out, city hall folk say. The Rev. Chris
tian got out.
Friends Of the reverend are expected to
call on the mayor to ask for revenge or
the custodian.
