WICK GORDON ILL CARPIED TO THE HOSPITAL Mr. Gordon Suffering With Eresy pelas, Now Improving Two Youag Men Jailed On Charge of Burglary Other Items of Interest. King, May 29—Mr. D. W. Gor don, of Pinnacle Route 1, who is seriously ill with eresypelas, was carried to the hospital at Greens boro one day last week. He was accompanied by Messrs. S. F. Tillotson, of King Route 2, and I. M. Gordon, of Statesville. We have learned since that Mr. Gordon is improving. Mr. Gor don is a strong Union man and belongs to the local at Volunteer. He is a good farmer and good citizen and the union brothers of his local are looking after his farming interest and are keep ing his crop in good shape. We hope Mr. Gordon will soon re cover from his illness and be at home again. Owing to the long dry weather the farmers are getting some what disheartened as their to bacco plants are drying up in the bed and the wheat crop or a portion of it will be short. 'We think that the good people should some together and offer petitions for rain. We learn that two boys named I Long and Cox, 15 or 16 years I old each, are charged with break ing into Mr. C. H. Boyles' store on Pinnacle Route 1 a few nights ago and taking from the store several articles, but not much money, as Mr. Boyles had removed the most of the cash the night before. The boys were soon arrested by Deputy Sheriff Gordon, tried before J. P. Covington, a justice of the peace, and were bound over to court, and in default of bond they were sent to jail. Bad, bad on the boys that they should get into such trouble wilfully and knowingly. Young men and boys, let this be a warning and may you learn to fear the laws of man and God.

JANES WINNER OE SI,OOO CUP THE DANBURY REPORTER OFFERS PRIZE OF FIVE DOLLARS IN GOLD FOR BEST EAR OF CORN GROWN IN STOKES COUNTY IN THE YEAR 1911. «■ : ■ -KELLOOCr S Form 4 R. A. Jamei, Winner of W. K. Kellogg Trophy, with the Trophy Mid the 1910 Champion Car R. A. James of Charleston, 111., has the proud distinction of having grown the best ear of corn in all the 3,125,713,600 bushels of last year's bumper crop. At the National Corn Show just held at Columbus, i Ohio, this gentleman was award ed the W. K. Kellogg National Corn Trophy, donated in 1909 by W. K.

It is 10 inches long, inches in circumference, and has 20 rows of kernels, 6 to the inch in the row, average jj of an inch in depth, and 5-16 of an inch in width. It is indeed a very correct type of yellow dent corn. Mr. James, the winner, is a a vigorous farmer about 40 years of age and of pleasing personali ty, a man who has givea careful study to com culture, and who has achieved his success as a grand champion winner only by years of hard work and painstak ing seed selection and careful breeding from season to season. Illionis growers are especially elated over the result for the reason that this is the first time in four years that the honors have berfn wrested from the state of Indiana. Last year's j champion ear, the first winner !of the Kellogg trophy, was ! grown by Mr. Fred C. Palin. !of Newtown, Ind. It was also of Reid's Yellow Dent varity, j crossed with Alexander Gold ! Standard. Last year's prize ; winner is the most perfectly j formed ear of the two, though ;it requires a careful judge to . ; rdna 3 World's Beat Ear of Cora for 1910 distinguish the points of supe riority. The trophy awarded to Mr. James was made by Tiffany, of New York, for Mr. W. K. Kel logg, at a cost of SI,OOO. It is made of Sterling silver, bronze and enamels, and is a truly ar tistic creation. It stands 30 inches in height.
