The farmers throughout this terri-
tory are sowing probably toe largest
oat crop the county has in year*
produced. While the weather has
been decidedly unfavorable to farm
operations because of falling wearier
and cold spells, the fine season could
not be better, end this section Is not
slow to realise the benefit to be de-
rived from early grain, such as oats
and barley, both of which will fur-
nish big yields In the spring har-
vests, and every opportunity has been
taken advantage or by putting grain
into toe ground when the weather
baa*been at all favorable.
The revival meeting at the Metho-

Coale and hl« soloist. Prof. Huston,

In s number of years. There were
three hundred conversions end recla-
mations as s direct result of the meet-
ing, to my nothing of a revival of
the spirit of correct and Oodly living
in toe people of Dublin generally re-

dollars was collected to pay toe ex-

THE A SURE HUNTERS AT
BLANKET UNEARTH TRS8EL.
Blanket Signal.
Did the pot contain gold, and was
it taxed to its capacity with rare
gold coins bearing the double eagle?
This Is g question that confronts a few
of the coon and possum buntere of thle
place who take an occasional ramble
In the woods to wear away a few
hours of a long evening. Them hunt-
era were waiting for old Tige to
••tree”, and to! to their surprise they
discovered that they had company
who were not after his highness, toe
ring-tail coon, but were buying
themselves unearthing something. Two
of there gallant heroes of the woods
ventured to acquaint themselves as
to what was going on, and to their
surprise they found that two men,
one bolding a lantern under his coat
and the other with a pick, were busy
taking a pot or bucket out of the
bed of to# creek- The boys were not
in time to eee much of toe work, but
arrived In time to see toe men remove
somtehing aad make a quick get-
away. This discovery mad® toe hair
of there lads stand on Its ends and
the cold chills to run up and down
their spine. The experience waa
thrilling and their deepest regret Is
they were not In time or could not
get close enough to Identify the treas-
ure hunters. The hoys returned and
reported their experience, and the
next morning others went to the place
and to their surprise they found that
a vessel had been removed from the
ground, toe print of same still being
visible.
THE DARK FUTURE.
When Woodrow, statesman good
and great, takes up the round of whit*
house chores, ha’ll long for former
low estate, for book and birch and
school house floors. The white house
lawn will then be filled with men who
in the recent race put up a line or
talk that thrilled, and who'll demand
a good fat place. They will not leave
the chief alone, they'll rale* eternal
how-dy-do; they’ll call him up by tel-
ephone and bellow down the kit-
chen flue. When he steps out to smoke
a torch, some grimy office-seeking
chap will crawl underneath the porch
and clamor of a public snap. And
when at night he lays bis head, worn
out, upon the pillowslip, he'll hear a
voice, 'neath the bed, demanding a
postmastership. And every man he
sees^ betwixt the white house and the
river’s shore, e'n though be is al-
ready fixed, will hold his talons out
for mors And Woodrow oft will long
to be a pedagogue, as he was planned,
a kid inverted on bis knefc^a good
elm sapling In his band! With
yearning oft his heart will swell, when
office hunters block his way. to hear
again the seboolhouse bell that calls
the students from their play. And
some day, when bit stout heart cracks,
and h* Is wearied of his Job, I doubt
not he will take an ax, and mow a
pathway through the mob.—Walt
Mason.
