A negro assaulted and murdered a young girl at Welmington, Delaware anda mob took him from the jail and burned him at the stake on Mon- day. On June 6th a mob burned a negro at Belleville, Ills., for killing a school teacher.

The splendid rain which visited Bates county Sunday nigut was a welcome visitor. In parts of the county the farmers were greatly dis- courayed, because they could not work their crops which were suffering for attention. The ground was get ting very dry and a hard erust had formed which made it difficult to work. The corn crop Was never 80 uneven and varigated. Some fields the corn is nearly knee high in others two to three inches, while in many the grain has just been planted. The farmers have great hopes, however, and predict with seasonable weather that they will yet raise a good crop, and when the farmer has pluck and energy, the rich soil of old Bates has never failed to reward him, The Rooseveltian idea of family suicide does not apply to Uncle Jim- ty Spears, who has fifteen children living, seven of whom are at home, He has been married twice; seven children were born of his first wifeand ten of bis last, two being dead = Mra. Spears lost her life a year ago, ina very sad and tragic manner, her clothing caught fire, and she was burned to death. Uncle Jimmy is a Kentuckian by birth, but came to this county at an early age. He is, of commanding appearance, over six feetin his stocking feet, is as straight as anarrow, with long patriarchal beard, a fine type of physical man- hood. If he wasn’t such a died-in- the-wool Democrat, he would be eligible to a fat office under Roose- velt for his family record. Last Sunday Childrens Day was observed at the Baptist church near Vinton. Owing to a beautiful day a t at had been observed in that part o' the country. Miss Couchman p esided at the organ, and the choir was well selected, and good music he rendered. The children spoke eir pieces well, the eight young iladiee played their part of bearing the crosses with success. The house {was beautifully decorated by ;Mre. Mollie Graham, who was thanked by Rev. Jones tor the decoration. The flowers which she had made and framed, pretty fans, wheels and Bible pictures completed the decoration. The contribution iwas good, and all past off witha good dinner in Mr. Hardin's grove and a sermon in the afternoon. M. An Ozark county paper has found tains in South Missouri that hereto- lists. One of them is the Oogly Woo, a six-legged animal with a sharp, stiff tail. cornered it stands on its tail, and, whirling rapidly around, hole in the ground into which it dis- appears. Another is the deadly [rarkaboar It has four legs, two long ones on One side and two short on the other, adjusted for mountain climbing. It will ran rapidly around a mountain with its four feet always touchiny, and cau only be captured by being turned in an opposite di- rection, when its two long legs be uppermost. The third is the one eyed screeching Boo Boo. The Boo Boo is part bird and part wild bog. When closely pursued it will turn on its enemy and with a mighty gulp sallow itself, U. S.
