This reward was offered for tlie\purpose of showing what desperate things some men will do tjQgain their point. Then again it shows the principle back of a newspaper th a t would allow such a thing to be given to its read­ ers and how much credence can be given its patchecj up articles. That Mr. Siegler’s name was forged there is no question, either by proprietor of th a t paper, S. C. W right, or the editor and publisher, .k C. Foley, or by a person, or persong^known to them and whom they are shielding. W hether the p rin ters loopy of this' letter was signed or not, the article was published over Mr.\Siegler’s signature, and for which the the proprietor and publisher are held responsible. The above is a fac-simile of the only letter. Mr. Siegler signed and which he still has. Time only will tell whether the proprietor and pub­ lisher of the**‘gangs’’ mouth-piece .will produce their letter which they published over Mr. Siegler’s signature. The Herald’s offer of a reward of $50, payable to any charitable in­ stitution in.town, still stands. . We want the letter. DEPOSITORS MEET.

Lutz of Vernon, Texas, writes an interesting letter to the Xenia Gazette about ftio wonderful crops Jn th a t country and \vhnt Mr.' D. S. Collins, odr former cijfjsen Is doing in the melon business. Vernon, Texas, Ju ly ?:l, 1805, Editor Xenia Gazette:—A few months since I read an article in your paper written from Memphis, Tennessee, stating th a t Memphis was the greatest cotton and canta­ loupe shipping point in the United sta tes. As Texas produces one- fifth, and more, of the cotton crop of the United States, I take excep­ tions to Memphis receiving and shipping the greatest, number of bales per annum, as Galyeston, Texas, receives and ships annually 2.500.000 to 8 , 000,000 bales, which is more cotton than Tennessee, Kentuekey and adjacent territory to Memphis raise annually, even if Memphis got all of the . cotton raised in the entire states of Ten­ nessee and Kentuekey, which she does not get, We have one county in Texas (Ellis county), th a t raises 125.000 bales of cotton annually. And when it comes to raising cantaloupes, Texas is the largest cantaloupe producing State in the United States, and Vernon, Texas, is one of the largest shipping points in Texas for cantaloupes. (We are in the middle of the shipping—sea­ son a t this time, and are shipping from 15 to 20 cars of cantaloupes a day, und seven to ten of water­ melons per day. These are all shipped by refrigerated express cars, and are shipded to Denver, Col., Chicago, Pittsburg, Buffalo and New Yprk City. Our canta­ loupes sell in New York City for more money per crate than any other melon in the United States. The Vernon cantaloupes took the premium a t Sfc. Louis last year, which gives us a distinction, the Memphis' melons not excepted. D. S. Collins, an old Greene county boy, is here and has in 15 acres of cantaloupes and 30 acres of watermelons. Din has 15 men working for him, and caii use a t this time 15 more. He is getting out from 100 to 150 crates a day with the help lie 'hasy-an'd losing 50 crates a day more by not being able to get help sufficient to move his crop a t the righ t time. All the other raisers are also losing like- wish. . Th’oy are ih ty irig $ i . bo to $1.75 per day for hands to gather and paok the melons. There are 40 threshing machines running in th is county a t this time,, which are using the most of the idle hands, and* the melon raisers have to do the best thpy cab. The cantaloupe season . lastB from 50 to 00 days. Tho watermelons la s t much longer, from J uly 1st to the middle o f .Sep­ tember, or somo seasons 20 days less than this. There is h railroad running from Greene county to Vernon, Texas, and you can come on-an excursion on tlio ilrst Tues­ day and third Tuesday of eacli month. Come out and see what a new country can and is doing. Yours, J . E . Lutz. SPRINGFIELD FAIR. J POPULAR CARTOONS. PECULIAR SITUATION. A peculiar situation lias arisen a t Columbus under the biennial elec­ tion amendment proposition, which apparently applies to the treasurer’s office in this county. The treasurer will be elected this year for a term of two years. If the amendment is adopted, as i t is al­ most certain to he, iliere will be no elections two years iience, th a t be­ ing the year of municipal elections, so tliat. the treasurer elected tins fall, must serve three years or un til ills successor is qualified In 1908. Under the provisions of the state constitution, no person is eligible‘to serve either as sheriff or treasurer for inora than four years in any period of six years. I t would appear th a t If a man were elected as treas- sure tliis year ho would necessarily be a one termer, as he would serve three years up tier tho first term, and would have bu t one more year on his second term under the con- stit itional prohibition pertaining to tha t office. I t is suggested tliat there would be a vacancy in the office after be bad served the four years, to be filled tho same as in tho case of death .- Fayette County Record.

Orr Building, THE SHERIFF’S INVENTION Sheriff F rank Tarbox, of Xenia, has been work k g tills vreek on his corn harvester, liis plans having been submitted to the government for patents some time ago. He is erecting his machine a t the "Pierce and Phillips shop. Tt will be so constructed tliat. two rows of corn can be cut a t once. Mr. Tarbox ex­ pects to get quite an improvement over the present shocker used on all other machines. Several years ago Mr. Tarbox built a machine, though rather rough, tliat ’worked fairly well.—- .. Tiie a rt of newspaper Illustrations in Its present form is a develop­ ment of recent years. Newspaper cartoons have become a most popu­ lar feature of up-to-date metropoli­ tan daily papers. The unique and cate hey drawing now appearing on the front page of The Chicago Re­ cord-Herald is one of the 'many special features of the great paper. The Record-Herald has been for­ tunate in securing one of the best young artists in the country to car­ ry out its popular policy of present­ ing each day a humorous and go^id- natured cartoon. • Mr Ralph WildeV is one ol the coming men in news­ paper work. His success has been as pronounced as. it has been rapid. He shows all of the good-natured humor iind the b righ ter side of every dsy.common life which has carried his work to-a very popular success. His drawings are on all of the various subjects of popular In­ terest., political and otherwise. Cur­ rent events are vividly portrayed in a way th a t pleases, y e t’often giving Just criticism in a way th a t does not offend. Through his excellen t work on eastern magazines Mr.- Wilder first attracted universal attention. T he R ecord -H er a ld recognized In him a t once a cartoonist of unusual promise, and congratulates its read­ ers on having been fortnnate enough to engage him. . Bank S tatem en t. W m .

Compared with this town, Cedar- ville is a scrappy place. There is always some excitement on in home affairs. When the people down there get tired of throwing bricks a t tho public olHicialB they heave rocks a t eaehother. Two >veeks ago one of the local papers ran an article headed, “The Lid is Off.” and dis­ closed the true state of affairs as they should not be In a dry-town,- and this paper had a great deal to do in making the town dry, too. The plain words of the article so ex­ cited the officers of the village tliat the council meeting broke'up in a row, showing that a t least one brick landed. I t is a poor week with Oedarville when she fails to dish up a passage-at-anns.--South Charles­ ton Sentinel. The w'et season has been unfavor, able to the quail and unless protect­ ed theso beautiful and useful little creatures will not be able to produce their- usual broods. Every •farmer should resolve not to kill a quail and to do a ll he can to prevent their slaughter by the pleasure hunter from the cities. Don’ t rob their nests, bu t when found leave them a shelter of g rain or grass, as the case may be. Feed them in winter and protect them from their enemies during the breeding season. Q/uail are invaluable on farms, each one being worth more th an 'its weight in gold as a bug-destroyer. PAGE FENCE. Cut prices for 80 Days only of stock on hand. W. R. Stevreft. Orr Building.

Tiie proposed line from Spring- field to Wilmington may not be built righ t away according to the, the following skeptical view of the situation taken by tiie Springfield Nows: Every few we'eks H a rry Frey of this city, finances liis proposed trac­ tion line to Wilmington. Mr. Frey has been financing tills road so long th a t public takes bu t little interest in announcements made to the effect tha t “ So-and-so is being interested and will p u t up the money.” The road has been financed on paper of­ ten enough to belt the globe, and yet a pick or shovel has never been stuck in the ground. Mr. Frey has been in tiie east the past week to finance" the road, and has receiv­ ed tiie usual amount of freo newspa­ per advertising. Tiie following from the Toledo Blade will explain ju st how tliie financing of tiie Froy road appeals to those not In a posi­ tion to know : “A special telegram to the Blade from Springfield says that, Harry Frey of tliat city promoter of tho Springfield and Wilmington traction lino, lias"gone to'New York to Con­ fer With capitalists.
