FIRST WHEAT OF 1917
BRINGS A GOOD PRiCE
Threshing Started Wednesday and
First Wheat Sold By Frank
Sisk at $2.13 a Bushel
The First wheat of the 1917 crop
marketed in Newark was brought in
yesterday by Frank Sisk.
The wheat was bought by F. C.
Hoyt & Co., the price paid being
$2.13 per bushel.
The wheat was threshed by
Wilson and Whisnant on their new
thresher which was received a few
days ago.
The threshing season is a little
early but the crop is unusually large,
and the yield ft'ill be heavy, and
threshing has started a few days
early on this account.
The acreage in wheat in the terru
tory adjacent to Newark is fully as
large as last year when all records
were broken for wheat acreage in
this section. The yield will be better
than last year, when about 60,000
bushels of wheat were produced in
this community.
With an increased yield and prices
more than double what they were last
year, it can readily be seen that the
wheat crop will prove a most pro
fitable one to the farmers of this
section.

THE NATION’S HOPE IS
IN THE POOR BOYS
The following is an extract from
a speech delivered some time ago
by President Woodrow Wilson.
“I remember speaking at a school
not long ago where I understood that
almost all the young men were the
sons of very rich people, and I told
them I looked upon them with a
great deal of pity, because I said:
‘Most of you fellows are doomed to
obscurity. You will not do anything.
You will never try to do anything,
and with all the great tasks of the
country waiting to be done, probably
you are the very men who will decline
to do them. Some man who has been
‘up against it,’ some man who has
come out of the crowd, somebody who
has had tha whip of necessity laid on
.his back, will emerge out of the
crowd, will show that he understands1
the interests of the nation, united and
not separated, and will stand up and
lead us.”

WOMAN KILLS MAN
ACCUSED OF SLANDER
Foung Farmer Near Swifton is Shot
My Married Woman While at
Work in Field
Grover Osborne, a single man
about 28 years old, was shot and
killed by Mrs. Randall Willard, three
mlies east of Swifton, last Monday.
Mrs. Will ard alleges that Osborne
had repeatedly made slanderous re
narks about her. Early Monday morn
ing she secured a shotgun and going
to the field where Osborne was at
work, fired upon him at close range,
the entire load taking effect in Os
borne’s body and causing death in a
few minutes.
Immediately following the killing
accompanied by her husband and two
small children, Mrs. Willard boarded
a train and went to Newport, where
she surrendered to Sheriff Ivy.
Mrs. Willard with her family for
merly lived in Lawrence county. The
slain man also formerly lived in
Lawrence county and moved to Jack
son county about a month ago.
The coroner’s jury returned a ver
dict that Osborne came to his death
through a gunshot wound inflicted by
Mrs. Willard and recommended that
she Unallowed to make bond.
Mrs. W’illard is about 32 years of
age and is the mother of two small
children.

NOTICE
Several complaints have been made

Studebaker
.
j; ESTABLISHED 1852
!: To match in SEATING CAPACITY the Stude
: baker Four at $985, you must pay on the
I: average $1802. To match the Studebaker
i: Six at $1250 in capacity costs on the av.
i! erage $2254.
< >
HERE is another remarkable point of Studebak
er VALUE proved by the industry’s own fig
ures. The few other cars that equal Studebak
\; ers in this respect cost many hundreds of dollars
R more. Studebaker s are the strongest, lighest cars
R of their capacity on the market. Less skillful
r manufacturer may approach Studebaker in light
! I ness-but they attain it only by sacrificing strength,
j | Remember, seating capacity is only one point of
Studebaker VALUE—let us show you some oth
;; ers. For it is the sum of these VALUE POINTS
;; added together that makes Studebaker the best
R automobile “buy” of 1917.
