Davis, testifying in his own behalf, placet! all of the blame on Cooler, whom, he said, told him that he had ’ shot at" Thomas. 1 Cooler, he said, came tunning from the swamp where Thomas was killed and where he had heard a shot fired. He stated that he had refused to ac company Cooler aud his son on the club land and that they had left him on the tailroad He stated that he was afraid to say'that Cooler had shot Thomas, “because his relation* told him that such a statement hid been made once before an.l that i* he made the statement and it pro ’, ed untrue, he would he tailed 'he biggest liar in the county."

IniK much to do with making the loan uccc-s-ful. With a fine system of [highways in CpReton county the 1 Federal Farm Loan Hanks would much more willingly loan money on our farms.

One reason xxhx our choice young men are leavinr the country and flocking to our over-crowded, temptation-infeste-f cities is because of the lack of an attractive social life in the averag* ’ i community. The improved high ways would enable our young peo pie to get together more. They • ould develop their clubs and young .peoples’ societies, develop their ath letic sports, baseball, basket ball, tennis, etc. Rural, life would be come more attractive and there would be more of them willing t/.* remain at 'Tiome and help develop out farms and home enterprises.
