This being the case no modest girl can afford to indulge in the pastime. When the down is brushed from a peach its beauty is so marred that it can never be restored, and when a young girl throws lightly aside that sweet and modest reserve so becoming to a maiden, and which so elevates her to command the re- spect of all, she loses the great charm and becomes rather cheap and com- mon, to use no rash terms.—Ex.

A case that is expected to show just how deep a farm goes has just been heard in chancery court in To- Mine operators had purchas- the mining rights of a farm near tsburg, but farmers had also ed the land for agriculture, When miners sought to scrape~of the to the shallow coal beds the mers objected. The question will ll likely be taken to the supreme of the United States, as it is an A Successful Farmer. J. T. Ackerman of Hume who was in Butler Tuesday looking over Char- ley Argenbright’s herd of cattle, dropped in at The Times office for a few minutes chat with the boys. He reports a fine rain near Hume and is very optimistic regarding the crop outlook in this part of the state. He says that wheat is as fine as it could possibly be at this time of year. Mr. Ackerman, who owns 400 acres ly- ing just north east of Hume is prob- ably one of the most successful farm- ers in Southwest Missouri. Last year he bought three carloads an average of $30 per head and after feeding them for 44 months oncrushed corn and cotton seed meal sold 69 head atan average of $74, clearing $3000 above first cost on the transac- tion. 8 head of the 69 were steers of his own raising. Mr. Ackerman said: ‘‘None of these cattle had silo feed, and I he- lieve that I put one over on the silo fellows this time. I expect to buy more cattle soon if they get a little cheaper. In order to make good a farmer must feed his stuff all on his own farm. I have already covered 80 acres with manure and have enough left for 50 acres more. This fall after I sell my cattle I will have 800 wagon loads by conserving the manure, which is done by spreading a layer of rotten hay or straw over the feed lots every few days.” Mr. Ackerman for all his hard work believes in enjoying the good things in life and his home is modern in every respect. The house and yard are lighted with gas and he has his own water works system operat- ed by force pumps. He has contract- ed for a $2000 automobile. Although he has amassed a competence Mr. Ackerman evidently has no intention of getting out of harness. When asked when he expected to retire he replied that he expected to quit work- ing when he was dead and judging from his present physical condition that will be a good many years hence.

Carl F. Ullrich, aged 36 years, a farmer, residing west of this city 14 miles was killed Tuesday morning and his body frightfully mangled by a vicious ‘bull belonging to Henry Eiler. 4 There was no eye witnesses to the tragedy and the details are, of course, unknown. Mr. Ullrich left hishome, just across the road from the Eiler place to put a cow in, the pasture with the bull. At about seven o’clock he had not yet returned home and one of the employees went to the Eiler place to look for him. Mr. Eiler knew nothing of his where- abouts, and seeing the cattlecrowded about some object lying on the ground in the pasture they went to investi- gate. Upon reaching the scene they found the mangled body of Mr. Ull- rich. Before they could reach Mr. UIll- rich’s body the bull attacked them, and they were forced to beat him off with clubs. The upper part of the body was badly crushed, his chest over the heart being smashed in and the ribs on the right side of the body being broken. Mr. Ullrich came here from Ne- braska about the first of the year to take possession of the J. B. Duvall farm which he had purchased, and during his brief residence here made many warm friends who mourn with the bereaved family. A widow sur- vives. After a short service conducted by Rev.
