DESERTED BABE FOUND | t
Wynne, Dec. 14.—Hearing a <
child cry in a box car in the rail- i
road yards about 7 o’clock this •
morning, a section foreman made
an investigation and found a
white baby boy about three
months old. The child had evi- ^
dently been placed in the car
early in the morning, as it was u
holding a bottle of milk in one j.
hand and was kicking its naked
feet in the air. The child had 1
been wraped in well-made clothes,
but had kicked the most of them v
off. The section foreman carried ic
the baby to his home, nearby, and
the authorities were notified. A
strange woman with a child about
his age was seen in several places 1
in the city late last night, and it is j
thought she deposited the baby in
the car and left town on an early
train this morning.

PEANUTS $100 AN ACRE
J. J. Bellamy of Lawrence
county furnishes the following
interesting data on a crop of pea
nuts. Henry Hartsell of Portia
planted two acres of peanuts last
spring in sandy land that was very
poor. He cultivated the crop ac
cording to the government dem
onstration methods, but used no
fertilizer. From the two acres he
gathered 155 bushels of peanuts!
and baled 105 bales of peanut hay.
He sold the peanuts to the Jones
boro mill at 90 cents a bushel and
sold the hay at 60 cents a bale.
The peanut crop on the two acres
brought him $202.50, or $101.25
per acre. How does this compare
with six cent cotton?
