TEACHERS HEAR VALUABLE TALKS LEAVES
JSUB.1ECT FEARED AS "DRY" PROVES MOST INTERESTING. INTEREST GROWS AND
ATTENDANCE INCREASING.
The Monday afternoon session of the county teachers' institute opened by singing "Come Thou Almighty King."
Prof. Roberts gave a continuation of his morning's address on "Soils." His talk had to do with the percolation and the porosity of the soils.
To the teachers who had feared that the teaching of agriculture •would be a "bugbear," Prof. Roberts is proving that it is an easy and enjoyable task. Altogether his talks have been very beneficial to the teaching staff of Hancock county.
Dr. Kleinschmidt began his address by this statement: "The public schools are the greatest factors in the rearing of the children. The churches, the home and the community are turning the responsibility of the care of the children •over to the school and it is "up to the teachers to make good. The teacher in order to do the very best work, must have children that are well born."
He then cited the incident of an "idiotic man who had an imbecile wife, and these peple were parents =«f thirteen feeble-minded children.

WILL SOON BE HE 10 FILL THE SILOS
They Are Appreciated More This Year Than Ever Before—New Ones Have Been Built.
Some people have been talking of filling their silos this week, but most farmers think the corn is not matured sufficiently for ensilage and will not begin to fill their silos for ten days or two weeks. There are more silos in Hancock county now than ever before. A great many new ones have been put up this year. There is no line of farm equipment which is more rapidly growing in popularity than silos and there never was a year when men who have silos appreciated them so much as this year when they do not have much hay.
Has Big Tomato Crop.
Merle Lewis, west of Chralottesville, son-in-law of J. M. Havens, has thirteen acres of extra fine tomatoes that are now ripening. This field is on low ground and is said by every one who has seen it to be the best in the county. The vines are bearing an abundance of fruit, which is ripening nicely and the tomatoes seem to be of a fine quality. Merle shipped a ton to Van Camp's Saturday. The Van Camp Company is paying $9.00 a ton this year. Monday Merle brought" a load to the grocery of Fred Havens. They retail now at 75 cents a bushel, but with plenty of rain it is thought they may be cheaper, although there are not as many this year as usual.

Poor Man Has No Use For Horse Like Early Dreams. When J. W. Halsall was at the Frankfort fair last week, where his horse, Early Dreams, won three straight heats in the 2:24 trot, a man approached him and said: "I have been hanging around for three weeks to buy your horse, and am willing to give you all the money I have for him." Mr. Halsall said: you have?" $5,000." Mr. Halsall said, "My friend, I don't want to sell him to a poor man. A poor man has no use for a race horse."
