and about three and one-half miles j
norib of the Jackson monument, in
the sand hills of Union county on its
extreme western border lie the beau
tiful little farm of Messrs. E. G. Yar
brough and Sou.
This farm intent very well be nam
ed the demonstration farm of Jack
son township, since the owners are
thoroughly demonstrating to their
neighbors and fellow countrymen
what can be done on the poor sand
hills of this part of Union county.
Mr. Yarbrough has been Joint;
good farming for a number of years,
in fact he has always farmed consid
erably above the average; but not
until recent years did he conceive the
idea that poor sand hills could be in
duced to produce corn and forage
equal to river bottoms. The truth is.'

the season to turn ground if the on

these things down at the camp of

'Twas raining in the night. A lit

colloquy which he carried on: "Mr

"Good bye," said Jeff, and the whole

Jeff saw the bear prowling about
the camp picking up the scraps so
scantily left by the hungry bunch. So
scanty were they that the big bear
sought In wider circles for more food.
Fancy him sticking his nose under

The complete destruction of the

Tuesday morning is the only serious
fire In the history of thr Th xnasville
Baptist orphanage since its founding
in 1885. The 32 boys who lived in
this building were aroused as soon
as the flames were discovered and
carried to other buildings on the cam
pus. The boys ranged from 8 to 10
years of age. Practically all of the
furniture was saved.

Alloul :U Hour.
Starting from Howden Tuesday
morning on a test flight to Pulham,
the big aircraft had been afloat for
34 hours, at times in bad weather,
and was returning to the Pulham
airdrome at the time of the disaster.
which constitutes the most terrible of
its kind in peace times.
The Zit-2 which was a sister ship
of the famous R-34, the first dlrigl
be to cross the Atlantic, was on her
final test trip prior lo being accept
ed by the I'tiited States navv and
taken across the Atlantic by an Amer
ican crew especially trained for that
purpose. She was 695 feet long and
was built to carry a crew of thrity.
Her speed was estimated at 70 miles
an hour. The American navy was to
pay f2.utiu.tiuo for the craft. j
While flying about l.Oou feet over
Hull, spectators saw the ZR-2 seem
ingly buckle omidship and plunge
downward over the city and into
number river. One theory of the
cause of the disaster is that while
the ship's rudders were being tested
the giant ship took a sharp turn,
which caused her frame work to
buckle, and that the explosion of a
gasoline tank completed the tragedy
of the air. The actual cause, how
ever may never be known. A rumor
had been afloat for some days that
the ZR-2 was structurally weak, but
this was stoutly denied by all in
authority.
Tens of thousands of spectators
saw several men climb outside the
balloon and drop from the falling
mass, which was enveloped in smoke,
and others jump into the Humber,
as the crippled craft came over the
water. As the dirigible struck, the
wreckage above the water was burn
ing and there was slight chance for
any of the men caught inside to es

wiid de.-ire to be sDinewhere else.
That was after worming into a seat
and disturbing the straw under our
!-et uhich immediately started trou
ble with the ahack of hay fever from
w hich we had been sultering for sev
eral das. Ours was a has'.y and ua
gracef :! e;t. We planned at the
time to put the width of the world
between our hay-fever and that
straw, but we got no further than the
shade of a large tree when we found
that there we could sneeze in com
fort and si ill hear the announcements
which were being made. So, between
contortions, which, owing to our
frantic efforts of suppression, grave
ly threatened the roof of our head
once or twice, we heard the an
nouncement that Rev. E. K. McLar
ty would pieach at this service. Now
no college girl who was at the col

the college chaplain as well, could
be induced to miss one of his ser

him was at hand. Hay-fever or no
hay-fever, we calmly strolled back to
the arbor, elbowed into another seat,
held our nose with firmness and de
termination, and listened to a sermon
which would have rewarded much
greater discomfort. As he preached
we recalled the words with which the
senior clas of the college dedicated
tluir annual to this, their beloved
chaplain in the year of well never
mind the year ! "To him whose
every smile and word bring joys to
those about him, do we lovingly and
tenderly dedicate this volume." Al
his sermons in those days, as well as
the friendly heart-to-heart talks he
gave us girls in chapel on Tuesday
mornings, brought comfort and in
spiration to homesick freshmen, ar
rogant sophmores, aspiring junior
and dignified seniors, so his worda
even more so now are brightening
the world with their sincerity, their
wonderful truths, their Inspiring
hopefulness. If such sermons as he
delhered Sunday upon the power of
God, the power of salvation to rem
