Here and There

Talking about oil paintings, Mr. Rockfeller has never been "done" in oil yet,

The straw hat made several starts this years, but has invariably been left at the post.

Long as there is plenty of cakes and pie, why should New York worry over a little thing like a bread famine?

A New Jersey man beat his wife because she talked. He will doubtless enjoy the silence that prevails in a well regulated jail.

The caustic Cincinnati Enquirer observes that Cincinnati would rather be a beer garden than a cabbage patch. Of course. Or anything else but a larger beer garden.

A New York druggist has invented an "anti-microbe kissing gauze." |He will do well to keep right on selling drugs, however. He is not going to get rich on that invention.

The have located a "man higher up" in the Pittsburg scandal. It would be almost impossible to discover one lower down than most of the fellows who have confessed.

As in case of his illustrious father, King George of England has no surname. Still, a letter addressed to Mr. George Guelph with the proper street number, would reach him all right.

Col. Roosevelt long ago ceased to care what the writers say about him, that is most writers, but if Sir Alfred Austin, the poet laureate, tries to write a poem about him, then there will be trouble.

Pennsylvania Company Gives Out In

teresting Facts Concerning the

Great System.

Figures just compiled by the Pennsylvania Railroad System show that in 1908 and 1909 its various lines carried a total of 299,762,658 passengers on its 24,000 miles of track and only one passenger was killed as a result of a train wreck. In other words, the chance of a passenger losing his life in an accident on the Pennsylvania Railroad System was one out of about 300,000,000.

In 1909 the number of passengers carried by the Pennsylvania Railroad System was 158,067,115. This was an increase of 11.55 per cent over the 141,s95,543 carried in 1908. The number of passengers carried one mile on the Pennsylvania System in 1908 and 1909 was 7,170,569,517, so that for each mile traveled over the System the chance of being killed was one more than seven billion.

One passenger was killed as a result of a train wreck in 1909, while none was killed in 1908. In the two years 370 passengers were injured in train wrecks. There were two less passenger collisions and 15 less freight collisions in 1909 than in 1908, while the number of freight derailments was smaller by 69.

This record of the Pennsylvania is all the more remarkable as its busiis heavier than that of any other railroad of the country which necessarily means that it operates more trains than any other railroad and at the same time enjoys an accident record which has not been equaled by any of the lines operating the same mileage.

The passenger trains on the Pennsylvania System in the past two years have travled 118,407,318 miles. In other words, if one train had gone this distance it would have made about 5,000 trips around the world, and with but one death resulting from a train accident. The freight trains operated by the Pennsylvania System in the two years traveled approximately 125,000,000 miles.

The Pennsylvania Lines west of Pittsburg have carried 52,518,808 passengers in 1908 and 1909 these passengers have traveled a total of 30,307,356 miles and not a single one was killed in a train accident. The Grand Rapids & Indiana Railway has a record equally good, as in the two years it carried 5,104,585 passengers a distance of 2,966,870 miles and none was killed in a train accident.

The Vandalia Railroad operated its passenger trains 5,017,415 miles in 1908 and 1009. The number of passengers carried one mile was 213,720,972 and not one was killed in a train wreck.

Crop Conditions.

The wheat crop seems to be suffering from the work of the joint worm. A sample of wheat was brought to this office. Every straw of the sample was broken. The worm seems to work

the joint and the straw be

comes weak above the joint and breaks. The wind for the past few days has disclosed the condition of the wheat very much.

Most of the farmers report that the corn is coming up pretty well. They say that it was slow coming through the ground, but that there promises to be a fine stand.

The clover crop is looking good. It is beginning to bloom, and the farmer is reminded that clover harvest is only obout three weeks off.

The corn ground is in fine shape. There have been no heavy rains to run the ground together until the last few days. A great many farmers have been harrowing their corn ground before the corn came up. This keeps the weeds down.

Whitetop promises a good crop this year. It is showing in most of the meadows and in some wheat fields.

The fruit crops will be higher this year. There will be very few apples, some peaches and cherries, arid "a great manny berries. The -^blackberry bushes are very full of fjloona.

Lecture on Prison Life.

George Musson, soldier evangelist, will lecture at the Christian church Monday evening, Decoration Day, on "Andersonville Prison Life." This will be a lecture of special interest and value^nd a big audience will no doubt greet the orator. Mr. Musson will deliver the Memorial Day address in the afternoon.

Notice.

The Wilkinson Horse Thief Detective Association will meet at Wilkinson on Thursday, June 2, at 1 o'clock. All members are requested to be present as this is a quarterly meeting.

AMONG HILLS OF

Superintendent of City Schools Visits

Nashville and His Newly Pur

chased Fruit Farm.

W. C. Goble and -daughter, Lillian, have been spending a few days at Nashville, Brown county. They attended the meeting of the Academy of Science on Friday evening and heard State Geologist Blatchley speak on "Indiana in Nature" and Dr. C. H. Eigeman of Indiana University on "Fishes of South America."

Many Indianapolis people are buying property in Brown county. Miss Mary E.

Mr. Goble says all of his fruit trees are growing nicely and his corn is all planted. He is pasturing a number of cows for Nashville citizens. He has arranged for the constructon of a barn on his farm and hopes to get it completed by August.

THE SPECIAL SERVICE AT U. B.

The Missionary meeting held at the United Brethren church Sunday night was a splendid meeting. A large congregation greeted the different speakers from the three different churches, Amity, Otterbein and Greenfield.

Former Resident of This County Near

Greenfield Writes of the New

State in the Southwest.

Mrs. Elbert Davis, who is well known here writes to her friends back in Indiana telling how they like their new home and what they are doing. "We all like our new home and are enjoying good health. We can raise almost any thing here. We live in Jackson county, the Red river valley, about seven miles from the Texas line, Olustee being the nearest town, six miles away. Altus, the county seat, is fourteen miles. It is a business town. The land here is nice to tend, some of it is a dark red soil and some is black and some is sandy. "They don't raise as much corn here as back in Indiana. It is a great cotton country. Hundreds of acres are being put out. Crops all look well. Corn is over knee high, maize and kaffir corn are not so high. There is some broom-corn out. Wheat is a little short, and it won't be long till harvest. Wheat and oats are all headed out. The first crop of alfalfa is all cut. It looked fine. That we sowed looks well. Good prospect for fruit, trees are all loaded. Peaches are as large as walnuts. We have one hundred and sixty acres of our own and have rented forty acres of another. We can tend a good many more acres here than back there. We only put out ten acres of cotton. That crop is new to us. The climate is fine out here. It is a little cool now it has been raining. The winter was mild and short. Had a few very cold days. The summer is long and hot. Always a cool breeze going and we get up mornings feeling fine, not much shade here, a few shade trees along the creeks. One can stand and look so far the eyes will hurt. "Nearly every one uses cistern water. This not quite like your state, but it is improving fast. We free mail delivery and a telephone line. "The roads are surely fine. They are as smooth and as hard as the pikes, but not a rock to run over. Land is advancing in price fast. It can be bought all the way from twenty-five dollars to two hundred and twenty-six. The high priced land is irrigated. They can raise any thing on it. One man is putting out one hundred acres of sweet potatoes. He bedded a thousand bushels for plants. Irish potatoes are large enough to eat and plenty of peas and everything else that grows in the garden. Tomatoes are in bloom. "Well, I will tell you about the people. They are all friendly. I like them fine. The Southern people are fine people. Most of them are very religious. Some of them like some thing to drink, like some of the Northern people. The Illinois and Indiana people have organized a club and meet almost every month with some member of the club. And oh, my, what good dinners we do have! You ask our friend, Luther Polen, about the club. They met with us in February. There were seventy-five here. The men atid boys played ball while the ladies fixed the table. The girls sang and played on the organ, and we all had a fine time never to be forgotten. "I must tell we have country churches as well as in town, all good fram^buildings. I can stand in our y4$pl and see four school houses, nice ,'pframe ones. All have good organs, practice singing every two weeks, have Sunday school in one close by us, have seventy-five or eighty in attendance and are doing well. "Our horses and cattle we brought with us are doing well. Have had fine pasture since February for them.

Butter is twenty-five cents a pound, potatoes are one dollar a bushel, sugar is a little higher, dried fruits are cheaper, dry goods about the same as back there, shoes about fifty cents higher but we have plenty to wear and to eat. "I go fishing in Boggy creek in place of old Blueriver, but we get the fish. Catch them with gigs or most any way except the hook. Went the other afternoon. They caught sixty pounds. Well the other day a wagon stopped anJ it had Wadkins name on it. That looked like home way down here in Oklahoma. We didn't need any medicine, what we want is plenty of soap and water, for the wind will blow and the dirt too, of course. There are plenty of rattlesnakes down here in the hills and plenty of coyotes. We can hear them bark most any evening.

Well,
