A good many farmers have
planted coru and some of it is

cotton seed. The generally
warm weather in March caused
a feeling that summer time had
come to creep over us. Despite

clay farms, however, have done
very little plowing until the last
few days.
A dwelling on Mr. T. D. Lee's
farm in Lanes Creek township
was destroyd by fire last Tues

The house was occupied by Mr,
Butler Kelley and family. The

room and the ipain part of the
house. There was no chimney
there, and the fire is supposed to
have been started by a rat. Only
a small part ot the household
stuff was saved. The summer's
supply of flour and meat was
burned. Mr. Kelly moved into
another house on the same farm,

contributed by the people.

more teacher to relieve the
crowded condition of some of ^

1 challenge to all mankind and
i warfare against all Nations,
he President declared that neurality
no longer was feasible or

enough at best, and was
ikely to produce what it was

ept the status of belligerent,

The objects of the United
