GLENWOOD SENIORS
ON TOUROF STATE
On May 6th the Senior class of
the Glenwood High school under
the chaperonage of their teacher,
Miss Johnnie Peterson, went to
Atlanta on a sight seeing tour of
that city.
They left Glenwood very early
going byway of Jonesboro.
There they stopped to see the
relics of the Fair of 1850 and to
visit the battle Helds of that
section.
After reaching Atlanta they
made a thorough inspection of
the State Capitol Building. They
ware given special lectures on
the classical renanance archi
tecture of the building, the
painting, office rooms, Senate
chamber, and House of repre
sentatives, museum etc. The
tour of the capitol was ended by
a climb to the dome. There they
got a bird’s eye view of the city.
Another place of interest to
the Seniors was Grant’s Park
where they saw the cyclorma
and the Zoo.
Just as exciting as any thing
they saw or did was the trip to
Stme Mountain, for there one of
them climbed to where the
carving begins. That indeed was
an energetic feat.
To top the day off right and to
rest a bit before the ride home
The Senior class was given
special tickets to the Fox Theatre
where they saw that grand
picture “Union Pacific.”
Everyone bad a fine time and
are anxious to go again.
Mr. Walker Champion
Oat Grower so Far
Mr. Hobson Walker seems to
be the champion oat grower
from the samples which have
come to the Eagle office. The 25
acres from whicl^ the samples
were taken are the Texas Rus
proof oatsand areabout four and
a half feet in height and are
carrying a heavy production on
accountof the suitable conditions
under which grown. Mr. Walker
used 15 of the 25 acres in oats
for pasturage during December
and, January and up until Feb
ruary 15th. when the cattle weie
liken off of them and they were
allowed to the production of a
very fine crop. The estimate by j
several who have seen these oats
say they will harvest easily fifty
bushels per acre. These oats were
planted the latter part of Octo
ber last and have marie heavier
grain in the production than if
they were planted at a latter
season of the year. Mr. Walker
reports other portions of his
crop plantings are in fine state
of growth.

A Baby Twister Comes To
Town Yesterday
A baby twister fell out of a
small thunder cloud here late
yesterday afternoon and visited
the home of Mr. Joe Bowyer who
is aflicted with paralysis, while
setting helpless on his front
porch. The porch roof was lifted
from over the head of Mr. Bowyer
l as completely as though the
; implements of the finest carp
-1 enter had done the job. The
■ whole roof was carried about 150
yards and hurled against a china
1 berry tree back of the Eagle
office and there the roof was
, dismembered so completely that
. little damage was done to the
china berry tree. Mr. Bowyer
r was left sitting in his aflicted
chair holding down the porch
floor unharmed, but some what
, frightened.
