The ladies aid society of the
Christian church met at the Park
hotel Thursday, taking their din
ners with them. As the editor
is anjhonorary member of the so
ciety he got an invitation to din
ner, and of course accepted. The
dinner is just such an one as
might be expected. To use an
old-time phrase, the tables fairly
groaned under the load of good
things and the editor was in
about the same condition after,
dinner, Bro. Sapp and the three ,
schoolma'ams ate at the same,
table that we did and they acted
like they were used to that kind
of dinners all the time. We tried
to act the same way but are
afraid we didn't succeed very
well.

wishes with the many friends of

large but the cob is filled with
well developed grains from the
butt to the tipin fact, there is
not room on the cob for another
grain of corn. It was planted

corn that shelled and fell on the
ground sprouted and started
to grow. Mr, Sanders got 45
bushels per acre of this corn a
good yield for this year. He has
some corn that goes over GO
