SOW WHEAT LATE.

Experiment

'Wheat will be sown late this fall," says John B. Conner, state statistician, "This will be done to escape the fly. Much of it will be sown the latter part of October. I heard of a case or two where wheat sown in November did well. The experiment station at Purdue is advising that a decoy strip be sown around the field early to gather the lly to destroy it, then sow the wheat for the crop later."

Mr. Conner has no statistics on the amount of wheat to be sown. He is now sending out blanks to threshers, who will report the amount of wheat threshed. The crop was so small this year that many threshers were idle.

The people's prices will prevail all next week (fair weeki. 10, 20, 110 and 50 cents. The advance sale for the opening night opens Friday morning at Murriett's drug store, when a lady will be admitted free if accompanied by a person with a paid 30 or 50 cent reserved seat ticket, if reserved before 6 o'clock Monday evening.

Fruit for the Boys.

The Monon road is settling as rapidly as possible with the people who were in the wreck at Raub's station last month. All the Crawfordsville "victims'" except Sheriff Canine have submitted claims. Ex-Sheriff Davis received *525 for a bumped hand and Ed Coleman will receive $300 for a scratched leg. W. N. Tyson wants $800 for his injuries but the road has thus far refused to allow this amount.

The County Council.

The county council was engaged Wednesday in passing on the estimates for next year and adjourned Wednesday night. At noon the following appropriations for salaries and expenses had been made: Clerk $3,005

SHORT STORIES.

Picked Up About the Streets and Covering a Wide Range of Subjects.

Rev. \V. H. Kerr: "I see :n Tim JOURNAL, where some grocer lias said that manufactured comb honey is on the market and cannot be detected from bee honey except by tile stains on the boxes of the real thing. The statement is absurd.- There is no such thing as manufactured comb honey, and moreover there is a standing reward of $1,000 offered by a substantial dealer in honey for anyone who can produce a pound of the manufactured article in the comb. If that grocer has any or can get any I will pay him well, for 1 want to secure that $1,0.UU.'"

G. S. Harney: "I am afraid I have lost a client. Some time ago a drummer came here and got against a brace game. He lost a neat little wad and then made a lierce roar to get it back. One of the gamblers who helped in the bumping came to me for leeral advice and asked if he could be arrested for anything except running a game of chance. 1 told him that .under no circumstances could he be arrested on that charge. He looked surprised and when he asked why he could not I told him it was because the drummer never stood any earthly or heavenly chance either of winning in his game. Then he went away and compromised with the drummi at sixty cents on the dollar."

Over one hundred of the neighbors and friends of James Nichols gathered at his country home, near Parkersburg, Monday evening while he and his wife were at Crawfordsville and took possession of the house and grounds, while melons were piled high, to await their home coming. After their arrival in due time a bounteous melon feast was spread, to which all did ample justice, after which social conversation was held until a late hour. The occasion marked the announcement a few days ago that Mr. Nichols and wife would move to Crawfordsville to make their future home. The community will miss Mr. Nichols and his most estimable wife, where they have been promi nently connected with the church and social affairs of the community. The

M. E. church especially will miss them. Mr. Nichols has been a trustee of Hickman chapel for a number of years and we can cheerfully commend them to the good people of Crawfordsville.
