To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The farmers of our section are
pleased with the progress the crops
have made in the last few weeks.
Corn is looking exceptionally well.

planted on the Williamson plan which
proves to be a success. Mr. S. J.
Riddle has some very fine corn, and
without destruction the yield will be
bountiful.
On anything like flat land cotton is
suffering from the almost daily rains
we have been having for the past few
weeks. Grass is making splendid
headway where crops were not clean
before the rain set in.

make the number of bushels per acre
that he planted for, yet the returns
will, in all probability, be quite satisfactory.
It is a marked improvement
over the old plan.

"Wannamaker is the Choice of !
the Dutch Fork.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
We have just read Billy Felix's last
letter to The Dispatch, and note the
catchy paragraph that, "We have a
good man to put in the race when the
time comes, etc.," for the unexpired
term of the lamented Hon. J. M. Epting
of this section.
Now, Billy, listen! We are going
to tickle >ou way down in your shoes,
we have a feeling for you" and we
are going to name the man and should
our choice chance to meet your approval,
then we will be mutually delightedly
happy. We don't know you
personally, but think we have you
down in the right column, and that
you cannot lay claim to central Lex
mgton, ana Dy your geographical position
claim the right to name the
man.
Your good friend over here, located
in central "Dutch Fork," ha9 covered
this section almost entirely, and living
here almost under the sound of
the voiceless lips of the unreplying
dead, has yet to find a single voter
who does not speak in complimentary
terms of our man?the gentleman to
take the seat of Mike Epting.
In times of strife, and internal chicanery,
we need MEN to represent
us, and while I am not authorized
spokesman for the entire Dutch Fork,I
feel 9afe in voicing the sentiments
of this section and unhesitatingly
announce a worthy, deserving son cf
the extreme lower part of the county
to fill the unexpired term. We name
that Christian gentleman, scholar and
patriotic citizen, Nathan B. Wannamaker
of Sandy Run.
Name your man, Billy!

MICHIGAN FARMER
WIPED OUT FAMILY.
Henry Schutcheon With Axe Killed
Wife, Her Foster Father, His Invalid
Son and Was Shot Himself by
Neighbor?Used Razor And Poison
To End His Own Life.
Numca, Mich., July 21.?Henry
Scutcheon, a farmer about fifty years
old, living near this village, today ran
amuck with an axe, killing his invalid
son, his wife and her foster father.
Scutcheon was later shot by Henry
McClellan, a neighbor, whom the crazed
murderer had also attacked.
The Scutcheon farm house had apparently
always been a happy home,
except for the cloud which the son's
invalidism cast over the family.
Today, with no warning, so far as is
knowo, Scutcheon suddenly murderously
attacked his son with an axe.
He crushed the boy's head frightfully.
When his wife interfered he turned on
her and pursued the frightened,
screaming woman from their house to
the road, where he knocked her down
with his weapon. He then rushed
back to the house and murdered his
foster father-in-law.
Next he tried to destroy himself.
The maddened man gashed his throat
and wrists with a razor and took some
Paris green. His wounds did not
weaken him and the poison did not
take immediate effect. Axe in hand,
he returned to the road where he had
felled his wife a few moments before.
The first blow did not kill her and she
had been carried into the house of
Henry McClellan near by. McClellan
rushed to another neighbor's for help.
When Scutcheon found that hi3 wife
was in the McClellan home alive, he
smashed a window with his axe, jumped
through it and again attacked her.
This time he crushed her skull. He
then left the McClellan home and re- ^
turned to his own house, but when
McClellan returned from his search
for help, the crazed man came out and
started over toward him, saying 4'I
want you."
"I will shoot you if you come across
the road," replied McClellan, who had
armed1 himself with a shotgun.
Despite the warning, Scutcheon
came across with murder in his glance.
McClellan thereupon shot him dead.
