Late dispatches from Paris are to the effect that the question of homing the larger and most important German cities, including Berlin, as a part of the military program which will be followed in the event the German delegates refuse to accept the terms of the peace treaty is being considered, according to information given out from a seemingly reliable source. It is understood that the question has been discussed in detail by General Robertson of the British army and General Liggett of the American army. Germans in the occupied areas are growing more insolent, according to the reports, and dispatches say that at Coblenz the American soldiers knocked off the hats of several Germans who refused to salute the colors of the American infantry regiment which formed an escort for General Robertson, of the British Army.

We had some sickness in our shack some time back, which our pill-toter called "flu" but if it was "flu" ft flew right over us, under us, amongst us, betwixt and between us, and never tackled this old sinner. We feel thankful for that. Well, Josh said we always had something to be thankful for, but if we didn't have, why. just be thankful anyway. The grip and flu seem to have been sidetracked for the present. The wheat crop is' said to be - : Til . i_ _r quiitr promising. r ne nuwius ui both corn and cotton are good. Much has been said about reducing the acreage to be planted in cotton. The only crop we notice tnat has been reduced is oats. We notice one field that was sown in oats last fall and we thought were looking fairly well, has been laid off and planted in cotton and the fellow has a fine stand of cotton with oats between. Well. I suppose this fartner did as he pleased. Well. Josh said everybody should do that and anyone so contrary as not to do that should be made do it. But don't say anything about this because we can't run. We learn that Carl Faris ha*, crawled into a new joy wagon and we hear also that he has been elected president of the Gold Hill cooter-soup club. That promotion will stick another feather in his cap. Any of the cubs around now wishing to join this club can do so by appearing before the president with a good fat ten-pound cooter, as an initiation fee, and he will be instructed in all the traits of cooters and cootersoupism.

The cause of the killing of young Horton is said, to have resulted from a quarrel between the father of the young man and the negro, who was o tenant on the dorton plantation. The (fay following the quarrel the young man started to the negro's house to try to pacify him and induce, him to return to work, but when j he had reached the yard of the negro house.
