that no one was hurt.

WAPTIST MISSIONARY’S REPORT'
■ The report of the Missionary of |
■Rhe Montague Association is as fol-
Wlows for the month ending February
128th, 1921:
A big rat killing took place, about
Eagle Point, Wednesday. First a
raid on the rats at A. L. West’s place ,
and then at Will Uselton’s, which re-
sulted in more than 280 rats being
massacred.. A. L. West, T. B. Young,
Jeff Meekins Sam Popej6y and
Charlie Lemons, with their dogs, were
the raiding party.
While this was going on at Eagle
Point, Uncle Sam McCool, who used
to be, a famous fox hunter, led a force
against the enemy in Nocona, and ac-
counted for 166 of the rodents, as
well as leaving a trail of wreaked pig
pens, scared chickens in their wake.
It is privately believed, also, that un-
cle Sam now has all the best gardens
located and can tell who will have
frying size chickens first—he’s not
putting out angthing, however.

In a general sense, productive
farm land is land that is used to
produce crops, to' pasture animals,
or to furnish a supply of fuel, tim-
ber, maple sugar, or other profitable
forest products.
Nonproductive land is that portion
which is taken up by the farm build-
ings, by lanes and roads that unnec-
essary, fence rows that are too wide,
open ditches, headlands, swamps,
rocks, ravines, sloughs, and straems,
or pasture land that does not econo-
mically support live stock. Farmers’
Bulletin 745, issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
gives further information on this
subject. Copies may be had upon re-
quest of tjie department at Washing-
ton, D. C.

One of the most pleasing social
events of the year was the tea
given at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. W. Jones last Friday evening.
The rooms were decorated with large
vases of lilacs and iris. On a table
was a pot filled with peas, and as
each guest entered the were asked
to register thejr guess as the number
of “p’s", in the. “pot.” The answer
is 1 “p.” Miss Virginia O’Neal came
nearest the actual , number of peas,
which was 1,376, she having guessed
1,357. Delightful piano and Victrola
music were given throughout the
evening, while many found their for-
tunes via Ouija. In the dining room,
the menu had them guessing, and
was a source of amusement, but the
crowd expressed themselves as being
well pleased with the result of their
guesses. Over one hundred guests
were present, and the event was a
decided success both socially and
financially. »
_The Baptist ladies wish to thank
all those who helped them out in
this undertaking. Especially Mi
Mrs.. Jones for the use of their
beautiful home; the editor, Mr. T.
R. Stump, for publicity; the many
who were • so kind to lepd things;
those who gave donations; those who
came; in fact to each and every one
who contributed in an way toward
the success of the evening; the Aux-
iliary wishes to express its sincere
appreciation.

Mr. J. C. Reeves, who has lived on
Mountain Creek seven miles north
east of St. Jo for the past twenty-five
years, died at his home Thursday
night, March 17th, 1921. The burial
was at the Mountain Creek Cemetery
Friday, and the funeral services were I
conducted by Rev. West of the But-
cher Baptist church.
Mr. Reeves was born in Carrolton,
Georgia, October 13th, 1856, and was,
therefore, 62 years, 5 months and 10
days of age. He moved to Texas and
located where he died twenty-five
years ago. He is survied by his wife,
and 8 ehildren, 6 sons and 2 daugh-
ters. A brother, J. M. Reeves of
Winnsboro, Texas, also attended the
funeral
Burglars made quite a raid on 3.
M. Fleming’s store at Bonita some
time Wednesda night, and got away
with 31,200 to 31,500 worth of* mer-
chandise, apparently hauling it off in
a wagon or hack of some kind. This
was tracked to the river near Spanish
Fort and officers were searching for
the outfit.
Mr. Fleming offered a' reward of
350.00 for the arrest and conviction
of the theives. These “hi-jackers,
robbers and burglars” need the kind
of medicine that was given in the old
“Vigilance Committee” days, as
summary justice put a stop to steal-
ing in those days, it would be effec-
tive in 1921. ,
Will have Red .Top Cane, Milo
Maize, Kaffir, Feterita and Sudan.
Our price will be O. K. Get busy
and plant a lot of feed stuff.
Quite a change in the weather ar-
rived Sunday night, rain and damp
since that time. Thursday clear and
fine. The temperature went down to
near the freezing point, but no re-
ports of frost has been received.
