When the matter wa? brought to the attention of the county board wlio appoints the rural policemen, the board stated that the policemen could not pay any attention to unsigned letters. That is of course the right thing to do. There is no way of telling who furnished the information and who to hold responsible. A man cannot be indicted on a letter of that kind. The accuser must come out in the open an disclose their, his or her identity to the officers if to nobody else. * * * * While the membership of the cooperative tobacco marketing association 1 is large and growing there appears to 1 be a large percent of growers of tTie weed who hnvp tint u?innH Tii**!*** < v ..WW JX/.IIVV4.

Baker in Marion County in connection with the fre- < quent burnings on the farm of a 1 neighbor near Marion court house. There was a preliminary held in the case last week in Marion and the de fendant was discharged, and his dis charge. according to the Marion Star, < was approved l)y a large number of friends who gathered to hear the proceedings.
