intensely for a long time with
cancer of one kidney, which
caused his death.
It was expected that the meet

but on account of the interest
manifested they will be continued
till next Sunday night, when
they will probably close as Evan

Hat Shucked Com
Forty-on Seasons
Alfred B. Kinton is not an old
man he will be fifty years old
Saturday of this week and yet
he has shucked corn for forty
one .consecutive falls, commenc
ing the fall before he was- ten
years old. When a young man
he was one of the fastest of the
corn smickers, but admits that '
he isn't in it with the fast shuck
ers of the present day. One
year he shucked corn all winter,
finishing on the, last day of .Feb
ruary. That was the year of the ,
grasshopper plague, in 1875, we .
believe, when there was so much
soft corn raised. The 'winter
was a remarkably mild one. Mr!
Kinton was then "working out,"
and got $18 a month. ' As he fin
ished shucking corn for ore man
he would go to another and was
thus kept busy all winter.
By industry, economy and good
management Mr. Kinton has ac
cumulated a goodly portion of ,
this world's goods. He owns a
good farm of 220 acres acres, one
and a half miles south of Nema-
ha, with one of the best and moat
comfortable housea in this part
of the county, large barn and
other improvements, and is pre
pared' to take life easy. : He
doesn't pretend to make a full
hand at corn shucking now in
fact, he only shucked eight bush
els this fall, helping his son
Clyde finish up a small piece.
Made $900 From 8 Acres.
Cyrus Milan has the record in
this vicinity for raising vegetab
les. During the past summer,
with one horse and a delivery
wagon he planted, cultivated,
and marketed the product of
eight acres of land, which
brought him in $900. This
means that he reaped from
these eight acres of land $112.50
per acre in one summer. -Herald.
Dan Maxwell, W. S. Arga
bright and T. L. Fisher are serv
ing their country as jurors in the
district court at 'Auburn this
week. All three were on the
case of the man tried Tuesday
and Wednesday on the charge of
having a laundry burned in order
to get the insurance. He was
found not guilty.
