Horses are pro ductive of much trouble in this world. They ought to be prohibited. -News & Courier. ' Recently quite a number of men killed other men.

In copying the list of those who havej entered the corn contest, through an oversight we omitted the following names last week: J. P. Hoyt. D. E. Lanham. 0. 0. Timmerman. The omission was altogether un intentional and we Tegfret it exceed ingly. Mr. Hoyt has all along been one of the the most enthusiastic con testants, having had much to do with arousing the-interest and en thusiasm of other farmers. We hear that all three of the above named gentlemen have very fine corn. In the list last week was publish ed the name of Mr. J. L. Eidson who is not a contestant. His name was placed on the list by mistake. Episcopal Entertainment. The ladies of the Episcopal church will give an entertainment on the lawn of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. P.
