In fact she was out playing yesterday. The case baffles local physicians who cannot understand why she was not instant ly killed. The little one Is the small daughter of Mr. Cook, and was In the cotton field with her father and brother, who had just loaded a wag- On account of the busy advertising season and the lack of space we were i on with the staple and were hauling Everyone Doesn’t Inherit Money Some have to dig and dig hard for their share.

Frank is one of those sterling young farmers that it does a man good to talk with.
