On account of the continued
heavy rains, a great deal of corn
is going to be planted the last
half of June and on into July.
Corn planted this late must be an
early maturing variety if we are
to get matured corn before frost
comes. The ordinary varieties
planted now will not mature. II
you are going to plant late, be
sure to get good supply Of early
seed. Mexican June corn is the
surest variety. Yellow dent corn
if planted in June will prove a
good yielder, but be sure to get
an early variety.

MORE INTERESTING HISTORY

We have had the recent pleas
,ure Of visiting in the home of the
late Capt. E ]. Hodges and wife.
Those constituting the family
now and at home are DR. w. H..
Harmon, Maggie and Harvey.
We found the doctor much i'm.
proved in health. and Haryey's
condition is improving.
While on the visit we were
made acquainted with some very
interesting facts in connection
with the family.
Capt. f. ], Hodges, the father,
was born in this county in 1881
and died in 1918, his wife surviv-
ing him, together with a number
Of sons and daughters, and Mrs.
Hodges followed him only a few
months ago.
The father of Capt. Hodges.
Elisha, came to this county in
1878 from Wilson county and set
tied in the community where
stands the Hodges residence. Ell
isha Hodges was born in 1894
and his wife in 1870. They had
the following children: Jesse c.,
born in 1915, Tabitha. born in
1890, Jno. e. G., born in 1923,
Elisha w. r.. born in 1926, E. j.,
born in 1881, and Henry, born in
1882.
When Elisha Hodges settled in
the 9th district, the nearest house
was 10 miles, and there were no
roads. only trails being used in
going from one settlement to an.
other. The nearest mill was at
Jackson, and ther man roamed
the forests at will. Bears and
deer and other wild game abound
ed in the primeval woods.
When Elisha Hodges came to
this county, the State was only
22 years of age, and only Az years
after the signing Of the Declar-
alton of Independence. James
Monroe was president. and Hen.
ry Clay and Daniel Webster were
in their prime. Purdy was moi
then thought Of, and w. D. Jop-
ling, the old red fox," had no,
been born. The whistle of the
locomotive had never been heard
and sulphur match had never
been struck.
Capt. Hodges married Jane
Dodd in 1862, and the following
children were born to this union
Francis. Sarah Ann. Elizabeth
Ellen, John. Mary, Horny, Hen
ry. Harmon, Jennie, Maggie ant
Harvey. The father of this in
teresting family was prominen
figure in the affairs and history
of this county. He possessed ;
rugged and wonderful character
a man of strong convictions anc
sublime faith and courage. HI
was a leader in his community
and was an able and inhuentia
minister in the Primitive Baptist
church. living up to the tenets o.
that faith.
During the great fratricida
struggle of the COS he was ;
captain in the famous Hurst

Since we almost doubled our
price on wool by cooperative
selling. why not try a cooper
ative sale of our surplus lambs?
Joe Tacker and John Inman have
listed 25 head for such a sale. If
you have any for sale. list them
with the County Agent. If we
can get a car load we can make
some money on them. They are
quoted on the market at $l450
per 100 pounds.

line was reported this morning to
Forest Service officials and to the
city police and efforts are being
made to locate the responsible par
ties. il was stated at Forest Service
headquarters Boys with shotguns
are said to have done the damage
while the property damage is not
worth mentioning and can be re-
raired by single workman in one
day. the loss of these stakes unless
remedied might result in loss and
possibly serious injury or death to
someone going over the trail it was
said at the Forest Service offices.
Above timber line stakes were put
in along the trail at close intervals
in order that even in heavy fogs
travellers over the trail might be able
20 keep their way. Fogs occur fre-
quently on that section of the trail
and without markers or stakes to
guide pedestrians there is some dan
ger of them straying away from the
trail and getting lost, this being par
ticularly likely where tourists and
other visitors are concerned, 1t was
said.
