A week or ten days ago five far- } ners of the Colliers neighborhood, f W. J. Hading, Henry W. McKie, D. T. Mathis, J. L. and T. E. Mil ler, whose farms are practically ad- ' joining, carried 126 bushels of ?vheat to Hon. W. R. Parks' mill lear Parksville. That is a splendid j showing for Colliers. Would that he same could be said of every oth ;r community in the county! If c Jolliers' farmers can grow wheat ? successfully, and they unquestiona )ly do, scores of other sections can -j lo likewise, having land just as well r idapted to wheat. Supervisor Wells Doing Good \ Work. 1 In traveling over the roads of the ?ounty that have been worked with- 1 n the past six months or more one s impressed with the thoroughness This thoroughness accounts for the ;pparent lack of progress that the :haingang is making. Supervisor t A7ells believes in doing work prop- ^ irly, instead of rushing over a large ] irea, giving it, as the expression joes, only a "lick and a promise." ^11 this he is right. < The chaingang has just complet- t id some excellent work in Meri- t vether township and will move t ,his week into Colliers township, hence on into Collins. No favorite- , sra is shown in the matter of work ng the public roads, each section ' .eceiving attention in its turn. In ?onie townships where the mails lave not been worked in two years < t requires more time to put them n order than in other townships that have received attention more recently. Supervisor Wells is a man if good judgment and, being dis- 1 ?used as he is to treat all alike, ?'lowing no favoritism, we believe , that as soon as it is in his power to lo so he will satisfy the taxpayers in all sections of the county. Of Interest to Farmers. The Adams Warehouse Compa ny makes an announcement in its advertisement this week that should be of special interest to farmers. Besides storing cotton and other commodities, the Adams Ware house Company are manufacturers' agents for farm wagons, McCor mick mowers, and harrows of all kinds.

Then he sat down with an abashed look. "Whuffo, mah frien'," said the preacher sten/'y, "does yo' r'ar up an' snap y'o fingahs when Ah speaks o' melon stealin'?" "Yo' jes' reminds me, pahson," tlae man in the back seat answered m.eekly, "whar Ah lef mah knife. " Don't you need a new summt r buggy robe. We have a new lot in. Ramsey & Jones.
