GROWING WHEAT SIXTEEN
YEARS ON THE SAME LAND
WITHOUT CHANGING THE
SEED-It is an accepted theory
among farmers and generally be-
lieved that wheat seeded on the
same land number of years sue
cessfully will deteriorate and be-
come almost worthless. Exper-
fenced weighs against this theory
however. On the farm belonging
to r. H. Cummins, west Of Smyr-
ma, he has been seeding the same
wheat for more than sixteen years
and the quality is just as god this
season, if not better than the first 4
year il was seeded The variety is 4
known as California red, grades
number one. 1t was originally \
brought from California and since
it has become acclimated has prov \
"a to be the best wheat he ever
seeded both as to quality and stiff
ness of the stalk and he thinks it .
decidedly the best and most re-
liabe for this latitude.
THE ELOPEMENT" daily
papers commencing with the Phil
adelphia Press, have been trying to
work up a sensation Of a matri-
monial order, for which this town
furnished plot, scene. characters,
etc. for such denouement as the
reporter could with
scant material bring out vividly on
paper. True, the tongue Of gossip
had been busy for several days and
as is usual, many improbable and
false statements got afioat which
did not diminish in color or in
tensity in the reporters hands.
Without attempting to correct the
account in the daily papers in de- N
tail. we will state the case briefly.
Miss Carrie A. Letherbury. the
heroine of the Press story. was Wis
iting her aunt, Mrs. Amelia Cow
erdale at Belmont as has been her
custom for several summers. Her
friends, very naturally, as she was
only a school girl. did not like her
10 keep especial company, but as
was quite as natural for young
people Of romantic temperament
Or when in the romantic age, she
and Harry T. Ashcraft met in
town and elsewhere quite often.
No one looked upon it as anything
more than youthful fancy such
as is seen most any Gay, and GER
tainly no one dreamed for a mo-
nent that an "elopment" was in
contemplation. Why they came to
this conclusion, we will not state
under the favorable turn events
nave taken. They left about nine
o'clock on Sunday evening 18th in
stant), drove to the residence of
mis- brother-in-law. William NJ.
near Odessa, where
hey stopped a short time, then
vent to Delaware City where he
eft his horse and carriage and
-ook the boat on Monday morning
,or Philadelphia. They were mar |
lied the same day, Mr.. Vandegrift,
above named, being with them.
The bride and groom returned here
IN Sunday and have been spending
he time since with his father, DR.. {
Ashcraft and other relatives and I
