The lawyers of the state will now get busy and see how many of the new laws have a loop hole in them so that they will be rendered ineffectual. While one set of men enact new laws another set is at work seeing how they can be made inoperative. An exchange says: “What do you think of an artist w-ho painted cobwebs on a ceiling so truthfully that the hired girl wore herself into an attack of nervous prostration trying to sweep them down? This caused an editor with some experience along this line to remark that there might have been such an artist, but there never was such a hired girl. Rev.

The green bug is cutting some figure at the present time in the price of wheat. Some of the farmers in this couty discovered a green bug which resembles the bug often seen on the fruit trees or rose bushes, at the root of the wheat last fall, and the same bug is doing business all over this county discovered a green bug grown. The bug eats off the roots of the plants and thus destroys them. The bugs and the frost together have about used up the crop on many farms and as a result the price is beginning to rise. If all the business of the country could be done by mail, there would be mighty little work for a lot of persons. The farmers cannot send his eggs and butter to the mail order houses. Fresh vegetables, fruits and berries are not taken by the mail order houses. Chickens cannot be exchanged for groceries, and so on through he entire list of farm products. After all is said and done the farmer is largely dependent on his home town for a market. It would thus seem that self-interest would suggest that the home town be encouraged to the extent of buying every home and farm need of the local merchant.

Schenck is in receipt of a letter from his son Dan who is teaching school in Alabama, and who recently had some experience with a cyclone. He writes as follows: Spring Hill, Ala., April 5, 1907. You know when something out of the ordinary happens all the big newspapers put out what they call an extra. Well, this is an extra. The occasion that calls it out is a cyclone, which passed through this district. Only think that a real live cyclone passed within a half mile of my school and destoyed three houses (one of them belongs to one of my patrons) and tore down a dozen barns and wrecked half the fences in the country. But fortunately only one man was seriously injured. The storm passed within a quarter of a mile of my boarding house, so it is safe. I was down to Fred Gerdon's at the time of the storm, and when we first heard it it sounded just like the hum of a thrashing machine. It kept getting louder and louder until at last we became terrified and Mrs. Gerdon and the six little children took refuge in a dugout. Fred and I dtood outside and faced it. The tornado swept by us about one hundred yards to our left, and it surely was an awful sight. It looked like a dust whirl, only on a gigantic scale and it was blacker than a stack of black cats! After the wind stopped the rain fell in torrents, when the clouds broke and the stars came out one by one and looked calmly down on a dozen desolate homes. Thanking my lucky stars for my escape, I am ever your son, DAN J. SCHENCK, Jr. o MARRIES A CHICAGO LADY Mr. De Jackson and Bride Arrive in Decatur. Dee Jackson arrived last evening from Chicago bringing home with him one of the Windy City’s fairest women as a bride, and they are now visiting at the home of William Jackson and family.
