The papers have been very
dull and uninteresting to me for
a week and I have read very lit-

New MttM ef Miatiw
By Associated Press.
The mints at Philadelphia,
San Francisco and Denver have
begun coining a new $5 gold
piece on a different plan from
any heretofore coined in the
world. It- follows an idea ex-
pressed to President Roosevelt by
William Sturgis Biglow of Bos-
ton, that to permit the coins be-
ing pil^d to a uniform height a
high or. strong releif might be
obtained by depressing the de-
sign below the face of the coin
instead of raising it above, as
usual in all coinage operation.
This would ^provide a flat field
and a uniform thickness, the flat
surface taking the wear and pro-
tecting the relief, the shape of
the depression following the out-
line of the relief. The same de-
sign will be used on $2.50 pieces,
and all will bear the “In God We
Trust” motto.

following the example of the
three mentioned above.

News fram the Peanut Fields.

Some days ago Mr. S. K. Dav- ~
is who bad in 15 acres of peanuts
was in the city marketing some
or the hay. On being questioned
as to the value of the peanut
crop said, “I had in 15 acres of
peanuts and adjoining it I had in
15 acres of corn, same character
of land, gave each the same
amount of attention and have,
harvested both crops. The re-
sults are as follows: 400 bushels
of peanuts threshed and weighed;
430bales of hay which ! am sell-
ing at 35 cents per bale; have fed
to stock about 50 bushels of pea-
nuts and about 10 bales of hay.
The corn hasyeilded 200 bushels
measured but I do not believe it
would weigh out quite that much.
Corn at 50 cents per bushel, $100.
Peanuts at 50 cents after expense
of threshing, $200; hay after
baling, 30 cents, $129; value of
crop after deducting harvesting,
$329. These are actual results.
Of course, I will plant peannts
next year and on greatly in-
