Johnson and His Motor Car. Johnson bought a motor car, His pride in it was great. He ran across some broken glass, Bill—$16.98. He took a friend out for a ride, They both enjoyed it fine, Until a Cylinder went bust, Bill—$30.49. He started on a country tour, And had a lot of fun. Until he ran into a ditch, Bill—$60.31. He took his wife downtown to shop, As proud as proud could be, And then he bumped a trolley pole, Bill—$90.83. And when he found himself fiat broke. In tearful rage he cried, “I’ll rob the children’s saving bank And have just one more ride.” __ —Ex. White’s Prolific Corn—8 Ears in One. Mr. Clyde Dickerson, one of Lincoln’s progressive young farm- ers. who lives cn Fair River, twelve miles east, brought in to The Lead- re office this morning a unique specimen of his corn crop. It is a full grown, well-filled ear of White’s Prolific, surrounded at the base by seven smaller ears, which are also filled to the tips. The shuck, we are informed, grew naturally over the eight ears and the base appears as one cob, the gram beginning close about the circular base and branching up into seven distinct ears around the large ear. This freak of nature stands perpendicular on our desk and makes an attractive ornament. We are inclined to interpret this miraculous presentation, which appeared, alone of its kind, in a 25-acre field of corn and cotton, as meaning that we are on the verge of “seven years of plenty,” repre- sented by the seven small ears about the perfect, prosperous full ear. So may it be. Three Negro Dwellings Burned. Three negro houses burned yes- terday morning about five o’clock in the Seavey quarters. Two of the houses belonged to Geo, Rob- ertson, and the third to Albert Rat- cliff, both nergoes. The first house caught from the stove pipe and the other two from the burning house in which the fire originated. The fire department reached the scene but it was too late to do any good. Very few things were saved from the burnt buildings. Live Stock in the West is saved by the unanticipated rain of iast Saturday. Stories of suffering and loss come from Kansas, Missouri rod Oklahoma, where a great and widespread heat wave has been ac- :ompanied by a prolonged and de- itructive drought. It is hoped that :he damage will prove less than re- ported—as usually is the case in ;he end—and that rains will be revived and restore some of the :rops believed to be ruined and will lessen the amount of injury lone. _' Judge Monroe McClurg has re- j ligned the Circuit judgship of the lourth district.

representing Beat 4, of Lincoln county, has published dodgers brim full of good sense and enthusiasm about the "Good Roads Booster Tour." Among other things it says: "A public highway from New Orleans to Memphis would undoubtedly and unquestionably result in the building up of our county and our State. We have the land, they have the money; let’s get them to look at our lands and once they look, they will have some of our land, we some of their money. With money we can do a whole lot of things, buy more land, raise tine stock, improve our prop- erty, send our children to college, and when we grow old, take life easy and tell the young ones how we did it.

And had a lot of fun. Until he ran into a ditch,

As proud as proud could be, And then he bumped a trolley pole,

“I’ll rob the children’s saving bank And have just one more ride.”

White’s Prolific Corn—8 Ears in One. Mr. Clyde Dickerson, one of

Lincoln’s progressive young farm- ers. who lives cn Fair River, twelve miles east, brought in to The Lead- re office this morning a unique specimen of his corn crop. It is a full grown, well-filled ear of White’s Prolific, surrounded at the base by seven smaller ears, which are also filled to the tips. The shuck, we are informed, grew naturally over the eight ears and the base appears as one cob, the gram beginning close about the circular base and branching up into seven distinct ears around the large ear. This freak of nature stands perpendicular on our desk and makes an attractive ornament.

We are inclined to interpret this miraculous presentation, which appeared, alone of its kind, in a 25-acre field of corn and cotton, as

meaning that we are on the verge of “seven years of plenty,” repre- sented by the seven small ears about the perfect, prosperous full ear. So may it be.

Three Negro Dwellings Burned. Three negro houses burned yes-

terday morning about five o’clock in the Seavey quarters. Two of the houses belonged to Geo, Rob- ertson, and the third to Albert Rat- cliff, both nergoes. The first house caught from the stove pipe and the other two from the burning house in which the fire originated. The fire department reached the scene but it was too late to do any good.

Very few things were saved from the burnt buildings.

Live Stock in the West is saved by the unanticipated rain of iast Saturday. Stories of suffering and loss come from Kansas, Missouri rod Oklahoma, where a great and widespread heat wave has been ac- :ompanied by a prolonged and de- itructive drought. It is hoped that :he damage will prove less than re- ported—as usually is the case in ;he end—and that rains will be revived and restore some of the :rops believed to be ruined and will lessen the amount of injury lone. _'
