mending Judge James L. Webb, of

the private and official life" of
Judge Webb, declaring that as a pri
vate citizen he “is from every stand
point a desirable man” and “as a
judge he is able, fair, wise, courteous
and big-hearted." The resolution ex

Webb hold a term of court in the
new courthouse” some time during

Farmer In Lincoln
Goes Good On Farm
(Lincoln Co. News)
W. M. Hoyle, prominent farmer
living west of town, produced on his
farm the past season five bales of j
cotton from four acres, and he says
that his cotton got a late start due
to dry weather early in the season.
With a favorable season he might
produce two bales to the acre, who
knows.
Mr. Hoyle used a thousand pounds
of guano to the acre and also lime
or a substitute. The boil weevil did
net bother with this man's cotton,
I or if they did they eat less than haif
, of it. Hard work and intelligent use
of fertilizers seems to be a winner.
