Character" Knew a Thing
Or Two About Sweet Corn

Augusta a few years ago had
citizen who qualified as "charac-
ter" He was often seen about the
streets with his violin and was not at
all backward in playing-on the first
request. or hint was enough. But,
did we ever hear of the way he put a
good Joke and at the same time did a
very beneficial deed for a well known
Augustan? The Character had
sweet corn for home consumption.
He worked all right, but when the
owner stepped over to see how the
chap was coming along, he found,
somewhat to his disgust, that the
corn had been buried, not planted, it
was there, but it was under five or
six inches OF terra firma. He remon-
strated with the "character"-to no
avail. He told him to plant more
corn in the proper depth on top the
other--to no avail, the job stayed as
he had done it and the owner said no
more. because he thought he himself
had planted enough for hts family's
use.
But listen!
Along came a dry summer, it was
drought. The ground dAied up
The doves came along and pulled all
OF the corn planted properly by the
owner from the ground. It looked
Il good deal like buying the supply of
corn for that season. And then,
along came the characters" deeply
planted corn, which had long ago
been forgotten and charged to total
loss. When it did show up through
the ground. it came "all silked out"
and the owner said:
"My. it was late in arriving, but it
was all silked out and we had the
finest corn all the rest Of the season.
But 1 have never recommended
planting sweet corn in that manner"

pal court Friday morning and being
of minor Importance were soon ad-
justed.
The first was that of George Jose
lin Of this city. who appeared, on
complaint of F. B. Fisher of the A.

ter. the respondent created dis
turbance by pushing the stop button
on n one-man car which was operat-
ed by Mr.. Fisher. He also in some
way, damaged one of the car seats.
Joselin claimed that the damage to
tho seat was accidental that as he
was walking along the aisle. the car
swefved and when he grabbed" the
seat to steady himself, the seat was
broken. He was supported in this
claim by one Of the witnesses.
The case was finally settled by the
defendant paying for the damage to
tho car and also the costs of court.
The court costs were se.25.
The other case was that Of Wa
terville man charged with drunken
