We are now dry and a good rain would help late corn and potatoes ; and turnips a great deal, and I be lieve everybody would feel better. The public roads are very dusty and traveling is quite disagreeable Cotton is being gathered very rap idly and I think being sold as fast as gathered. The crop will be very short but the good price the farm ers are receiving will help out some. I think the 1908 crop would have brought more money to the farmers at an average of 10 cents than the crop of 1909 would bring at 15 cents. The picking will soon be over here. The dry weather has hurt the top crop a great deal. Some farmers are trying to plow some, fixing to sow wheat and fall oats. There has been a great deal of hay saved up to this date and still more to save and the dry weather has certainly been fine for the hay business. Dr. J. A. Smith is kept pretty busy now visiting the sick of our commu nity. People this year will have to com mence feeding their corn very saving to make it last as long as it will, and sow wheat and fall oats for early feed for 1910. G. A. RAGLAND. WAGONS, WAGONS, WAGONS.

Atlanta, Ga.—Following close upon his action in the Stegall ease, Judge A, W. Fite has placed B. P. Thomp son, Stegall’s successor, under a S3OO bond to appear at the next term of Dade county superior court and tes tify in tiie prosecution of the Cure ton distillery at Rising Fawn. Charles E. Stegall was recently put in jail by Judge Fite, because i the former, then storekeeper and guager at the distillery, refused to answer certain questions asked him ! by the court. On a writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge William T. Newman, of the United States dis trict court for the northern district of Georgia. Stegall was finally re leased. His case, involving the ques tion as to whether or not such a rev i nue official shall be required to give information obtained in his official capacity, is now pending before Judge ( Newman.

While this question is yet undecid ed by the United States court, Judge Fite has repeated his former policy in serving Thompson with a subpena and placing him under an appearance bond. Judge Fite himself is now under subpena to appear in the United States court Thursday and testify in the Stegall case. ANOTHER respite FOR JOHN HARPER.
