Attacked by hundreds of bees, the little 20 months qld son of Charles Miller, living northwest of Nappanee, was nearly stung to death.

Cries of pain brought the mother, who brushed the bees off and carried the child to a pump where water was poured over the little one. The child is in a serious condition.— Plymouth Democrat. ALFALFA IN MISSISSIPPI. The black prairie belt of eastern Mississippi is proving especially adapted to alfalfa, producing three to five tons per acre annually, which sells at sls to $lB per ton. It is the one plant that uses all the soil all the season, and all the moisture the same time rejuvinating and enriching the soil for future use. Its ability to produce the greatest amount of the best feed in the shortest time has gained for it the title, “Queen of the Meadow.” Beautiful stock, happy homes, comfort and luxury follow it with the certainty that day follows the night. It is only a question of conditions being known until the lands we offer at S2O to S4O per acre adjust themselves to their proper interest bearing value.—C. C. Clay, Macon, Miss W. It PULLIN, Agt.
