It's No Trick At AIL

Its easy enough to give growing accounts of any country, but quite a different thing to get government experts to speak highly of it. Without something of worth to recommend it. Mr. M. A. Crosby writes: “The lands of this country, east Mississippi, are similar to those in Alabama where we have been conducting work for five years. In our work with alfalfa we netted sl7 an acre the first year from seed sown in March. The second years crop netted ssl an acre. We also found that land that had been in alfalfa for two or three years doubled and in. some cases trebled the yield of corn. When broken up and planted to that crop. Personally I think that the lands of this section are as good an Investment as one could make.” Mr. Crosby has conducted expert-, mental work for the Government In every state in the union excepting Arisona.

Christened and Baptised At Funeral of Father.

The funeral of Prof. W. O. Hiatt, who committed suicide at Frankfort last Thursday morning, was held at the home last Saturday. The faculty of the Frankfort schools attended In a body. An unusual incident took place at the close of the -services .when Oscar Paul Hiatt, the 17-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Hiatt was christened and baptised by the side of the casket in which his dead father lay. Prof. Hiatt was a firm believer in infant baptism, but had failed to have the rite performed and Mrs. Hiatt decided to comply with his wishes by having the services in connection with the funeral. The rite was conferred 1' by the Rev. J. M. Meliar. - The general opinion is that continual worry over matters in connection with the schools and the fear of possible adverse criticism concerning his management of the schools led Mr. Hiatt to commit suicide. The tragic death of Mr. Hiatt did not delay the opening of the public schools on Monday, the school board having placed Mrs. Russell, private secretary to the late Mr. Hiatt, In charge, pending the selectioh of a man for the position. There are already numerous applications for the position, but the board has announced that it will be in no hurry to make an appointment. Asserting that the Big Four Railroad company confiscated some of his land when recent improvements were made along the right-of-way, Benjamin Simpson, of Clay county, has filed a $150,000 damage suit against the railroad company in the Hendricks county circuit court. W. S. Blatchley, state geologist, has returned to Indianapolis from a week’s stay at Cambridge, Mass., where he did some special investigation in the museum of Harvard university. He was gathering data for a paper on the Jjleontology and the insects for the state for use in his annual report. If there were no loafers in this old world, the police courts wouldn’t have much to do.

During the ball game between the newsboys and the bootblacks on Murphy’s vacant lot, the umpire had occasion to resent an unjust reflection on his character. ‘‘Youse to de club house!” he roared at the offending player. “Aw, come out uv it!” retorted the snappy player; “dere ain’t no club house on dese grounds.” “Den crawl in a sower pipe and draw on yer imagination, youse lemon pie faced mut!” cried the haughty official. “I ain't goin’ ter change me style uv expression ter accommodate yer jay surroundin’s!”
