The corn show Tind agricultural, exhibit in Long’s window received some interesting additions last Saturday in the shape of some mammoth turnips and radishes brought in by T. A. Crockett. One radish is about as big as a good-sized pine stump, and there is no telling how big it would have grown had not Tom pulled it so soon.

' The Democrat extends congratulations. Wm. MeClintock was arrested, last Tuesday on complaint of the truant officer for the alleged keeping of a little 8-year-old girl out of school who is living with Mr. and Mrs. MeClintock. The hearing was had before Squire Troxell and Mr. MeClintock fined 85 and costs, $14.85 in all, in defuult of which he was sent to jail. The child had not yet been adopted by the McClintock’s but they intended to adopt her in a few days. They claimed that sho had a bad cold and for that reason she was kept from school. Dr. Johnson was called the next day after the trial and said the child was unable to attend school. The statement published in the Republican and the Journal, that Mrs. M , had stated in court thAt she got the girl to work and not to attend school, is denied by Mrs. McClintock. Mr. MeCliutock’s father, from Brook, came over Wednesday and paid tho flue and he was released. There is a whole lot of tom-foolry about this truant law, and in this case many people consider the arrest and prosecublank outrage.
