Even a month ago things look rather gloomy for the farmer but the scene has shifted and a drive through any part of the county presents a very inviting sight. In the last few weeks there have been several fine rains and they have made a wonderful difference. The grass, which was getting distressingly scarce, is now green and luxurant the corn is fairly jumping out of the ground and with favorable weather from now on the granaries will be taxed to hold the crop.

Wheat and oat cutting has now been completed and threshing is the order of the day. Oats has improved greatly in the past month and the quality is good while the yield is better than ex-pectod. The wh-at, so far as quality is concerned, is far above the average. A large amount of Xo. 1 is being threshed, which is unusual and only a small quan tity is running lower than No.

J. Duff, living about eight miles west of this city, narrowly escaped being killed by an infuriated bull on the Hathaway farm, which adjoins that of his father, recently. He was riding a fine horse, owned by his father, and leading a cow and had just entered a field on the Hathaway farm when the bull rushtd at him. The animal gored the horse, which died almost immediately, giving young Duff just time to run through the gate ami fasten it before the bull reach him. There were two bulls in the field and the one making the attack was thought to be gentle, while the other was known to be HE CHECKED IT IT TO CANNED HEAT Among some of the colored folks of Palmyra Sam Lewis, an aged colored man who lives by himself in the eastern part, of the city, i regarded as a local John D.

and Mrs. P. T. Johnson of this city, was severely injured in a peculiar manner Monday evening. The youth had climbed a tree at the home of W.

L. Mohley and crawled out one of the limbs to where a rope was suspended. He started to slide down the rope to the ground and caught on a wire twisted in the strands of the rope. A deep gash several inches long was cut in the lower part of his body. A physician was summoned and he was taken to a Hannibal hospital, where the wound was Am A dr.

'May Open Taylor Road in August Work is being rapidly pushed on the Tavlor road and it is pro- bable that it will be opened to traffic by the middle of August. About two miles of slab has been laid west from the bridge and the contractor is working on a stretch of a little over three miles connecting it with the concrete at Taylor. About 1200 feet of slab are being laid a day and with reasonably favorable weather this, stretch and a gap where the road passes over a drainage ditch should be completed by the first of August or within the week following.

It will require from ten to fourteen days for the concrete to cure and the entire road will then be ready for traffic unless it is kept closed a week or two longer to allow for the shoulders being graded up. List Is Now Near-ing Completion At a meeting of the board of directors of the New Marion County Fair Association held at the Bank of Palmyra last Wednesday night several additions were made to the premium list, which is now practically ready to go to the printer. $10 in prizes was included for displays of domestic rabbits. $-0 in premiums will be given for the best display of agricultural products by boy or girl under eighteen years of age, or by a club whose members are not over eighteen years old. The displays should not include more than twenty-five products all of which must be produced on the farm or farms of the entrants.

Exhibits must be entered by August The opening night will he "Home talent or play night," and plans arc being completed to make this one of the best programs of the week. $75 has been offered in prizes for this event. Only groups of players and entertainers from Marion county are eligible, and professionals are barred. Each group will be allowed fifteen minutes for its act. All entries must be in by the 15th of August, and as a guarantee of good faith that they will appear and perform the contestants will be required to post $5, which -will be returned following their performance.

It is again planned to have the automobile show and merchants display tent and arrangements arc being made to have an even larger tent than last year. There will also be several live stock and display tents. If present plans ate carried out and the weather ic favorable it is expected that the fair this year will be the best in the history of Marion county. FRANK HANSON GOES BACK TO JAIL Frank Hanson, a one-leirircd man from Hannibal, who has spent a good portion of his life in Palmy ra jail for various small offenses, is back again in duress vile. June 9 he was released from jail and that same night he is accused of havinp hroken into the blacksmith shop near the city branch on Main street.

He was aiTaigned in Justice Johnson's court Saturday, waived a preliminary hearing and was bound over to the grand jury. In default of $.100 bond he went back to jail. MARION COUNTY LOOKS PROSPEROUS AT PRESENT No matter if money matters are tight at present conditions in rural Marion county have greatly improvel and prospects agriculturally are much better than weeks ago. While the wheat yield is not heavy the quality is good and the oats crcap will be much better than expected. The grass is coming.

The indications point strongly to a bumper corn crop. Howard White, of St. Louis is spending the week with relatives in this city and vicinity. Hi-. wife, who preeeeded him for a visit with her parents, Mr.

and Mrs. (ieo. T. Lewis, will return with him. ber he had sawed and move an.

other point. It so happened that the owner of one piece of land refused to sell the timber unless Mr. Lyell would also buy the land, which he finally reluctantly consented to do, paying only a small consideration for it and intending to sell it as soon as he eould find a buyer. Not a great while after this, however, oil was struck in in this section and Joe decided to drill a well on his land. He struck a gusher and now he is rich enough to Join the Republican party, but he isn't going to do it.

In fact, he is just as strong a Democrat as he was when he lived in Marion coun ty, and he doesn't relish the way Hoover prosperity is affecting the business of the country. Joe says while traveling from California to Palmyra a few weeks ago he was talking with a number of fellow travelers in the smoking car. All of them had sharp criticism to make of the Hoover administration but finally one of those kind-hearted individuals who can al ways "find some good in the worst of us" piped up, "Well, this Hoover prosperity has at least done one good thing. It has made rabbits good to eat in the summer time." He was like the kind old lady, always ready to take the part of the under dog, who, when the other ladies of her missionary society were bitterly arraigning the devil and his works, softly remarked, "that is all very true, hut we must give him credit for being industrious." A head end collision with cars driven by Mrs. Jules E.

Beineke, of St. Ijouis and Ray Englehardt, of this city occurred this side of Mt. Zion church Sunday afternoon between five and six o'clock. In the car with Mrs. Beineke was her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Louis Beineke, who suffered the fracture of her big toe on the right foot, severe injuries about the head and body. The younger woman had her nose broken and sustained a number of body bruises. Englehardt was hurt about the head, face and body. The two women were hurried to St.

Elizabeth's hospital in Hannibal for treatment. Engle-hardt was able to come to Palmyra. HOLD FIRST OF I NION CIll'RCII SERVICES The first of a series of five union services was held at the Presbyterian church last Sunday evening, with Rev. M. A.

West, pastir of the Methodist church delivering the sermon The cho'r was composed of members of the various churches represented in the meetings nnd a large audience was present. Follow ing is a list the place of meeting for the next four Sundays, with the pastor charge of the services: July 1,1 St. Paul's Episcopal church, Rev. J. Presley Pound, pastor of the Christian church, to preach the sermon.

July 20 Christian church, Rev. Clement Ritter, pastor of the Presbyterian church, to preach the July 27 Baptist church, Rev. A. E. Woodward, pastor of the St.

MILTON CARY AND BRIDE RETURN TO PALMYRA Milton Cary and bride returned from a short bridal trip to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, last Sunday and are now at home at the residence of Mrs. Mary B.

Cary on South Main street. Mr. Cary, a member of the Spectator's force, was married to. Miss Alice Sells, a teacher for several years in the Palmyra) schools, at the home of her par jents, Mr. and Mrs.

John M. Sells, at Ewing, last Wednesday evening, An account of this pleasant affair appeared in the Spectator of last week. AMBULANCE DESTROYED BY FIRE A large ambulance, being driv en by a salesman, burst into flame last Thursday morning lieur the top of Rock Cut hill, and was practically destroyed. he car naa formerly been owned by the O'Donnel Funeral Home, of Han Jnibal. but had been traded to the Henney of Freeport, 111., for a new ambulance.

The salesman considered the car an entire loss and caught a ride hack to Quincy without making any arrangement for salvage. MRS. ADAM DAL'ME SUF- FERS FRACTURED HIP Mrs. Adam Daume. of this city, while at the home of Adolph Le-henbauer, where in the capacity of nurse she was caring for Mrs.

Lehenbauer, slipped and fell Sunday afternoon. She suffered a fractured left hip and other injuries and was removed to St. Elisabeth's hospital, Han nibal, where she received the necessary attention. At last report her condition was said to be quite critical. Mr.

and Mrs. Pollard and daughters, Polly and Virginia, who have been tho guests of Rev. C. M. Gray and family for several weeks, returned Monday for their home at Newhawka, Neb.

Mrs. Pollard Is a sister of Mrs. Gray. Night officer Rolla Leer, whom his friends for the sake of brevity have always called Boomchick, tells us this one. A certain Palmyra family has for a long time found it cheaper to move than to pay rent, and sometimes, at these almost monthly affairs, Officer Leer has been called upon to officiate.

In this household hfre is a rooster that has been a pet since he first learned to crow and being considered one of the family, is immune from the boiling pot. So accustomed has this intelligent chanticleer become to changing his habitat that every time a moving van backs up to the house he runs to the front porch, lies down on his, back and holds up his legs to have them tied. If the Government will lay oft on this farm relief business which seems only to make matters worse than better, r.o far as Marlon is, conconl'd the farmers will settl' their own problems by milking two blades of grass grow where one grew before. N'ot lonu ago we told in this column how Harry Seymour was breeding hogs that would grow five hams instead of four hams and now W. H.

Lucan hr'ngs us a double hen egg which one of his biddies has submitted to him for his approval. Mr. Lucan highly complimented the hen anil told her to urge her sisters to go and do likewise. If his fowls will lay him two instead of one egg a day he can satisfactorily account for the deflation in the price of hen fruit with mass production. Palmyra did not have an especially sane or safe Fourth this year.

There were few people on the streets but all during the day and far into the night there was a desultory, very annoying and dangerous firing of fire crackers and exploding of torpedoes. Unfortunately this was not confined to the one day but was started a week before and kept up until the day and night following. A number of small accidents were reported, which might have been serious, and after all yhat if. there to il. The firing of the crackers and Roman candles and the throwing of the torpedoes was.

usually done by children and half-grown boys and girls and in many cases they were very careless to say the least. Some years, ago the fire crackers and torpedo nuisance became so unbearable that the Citv authorities put a stop to it. A large number of people have expressed the wish that next year the promiscuous use of dangerous explosives be prohibited in Palmyra. Mrs. Sylvia Del Vecchio, of Chicago, arrived in Palmyra last week to be present with her sister, Mrs.

Wm. Rous, when she celebrated her ninetieth birthday July 4. Mrs, Rous, a very active, healthy and happy lady, makes her home at St. Paul's Rectory, with her daughter, Mrs. A.

K. Woodwaftl and spreads sunshine among a large number of friends. Mrs. Rous has a brother, Joseph, living Chicago, who is eighty-eight years of age and who also enjoys fine health. Mrs.

Del Yecchin, who can be proud of eighty-three birthdays, has never used glasses, har. perfect health and travels all over the country by herself. Her husband passed on several years ago but they had lived together past their golden wedding. Mrs. Rous and husband also celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary before he finished the course.

Both Mrs. Rous and her brother, Joseph Dufour, like their sister, Mrs. Del Vecchio, have remarkable eyes, both having received their second sight and are able to read fine print with comfort without glasses. They are of French descent, their parents having come from France to this country early in life. As the name would indicate, Mrs.

Del Vecchio's husband was an Italion. The two sisters are of a most happy and sociable disposition and get all there if. in life. They say their brother is of the same temperament. Joe Lyell, an old Marion county boy, who with his wife, has been making a visit to his old stamping grounds, may be properly termed aa a man who had fortune thrust upon him.

There was a large crowd present and the picnic was a success from every angle.

While the picnic was given by the North River, West Ely, Pal myra and Hannibal Lutheran churches, it was open to the pub lic and many who were not members of the Lutheran church attended and participated in the var-iaus contests. It was estimated that there were 2,500 hundred people on the grounds during the afternoon and a large crowd also attended in the evening. Threatening rain and a light sprinkle between six and seven o'chxl, in the evening probably was re- ponsible for a number of peoph staying at home. Various contests were held dur ing the day and prizes were awarded as follows: Climbing greasy pole: Lester Clayton, Hannibal, first; Richard Orcutt, Hannibal, second, and Al lied Hemmann, Hannibal, third.

During the afternoon a baseball game was played hMweoti the West Ely team and a picked team from the Palmyra, Hannibal and North River churches, which was won by the former team by a score of eight to one. The game was umpired by Rev. Frerking, pastor of the North River church, Rev.

INJURED IN CAR ACCIDENT ON THE FOURTH Mrs. Carl Burgman, of St. Louis, received a severe cut on one of her legs and several bruises when the car in which she was riding overturned about 10:30 o'clock on the morning of the Fourth. The accident occured on the sharp curve at the foot of the Geb hardt hill, north of this city.

An other ear was approaching and in turning out the St. Louis car was traveling too fast to make the curve. Mrs. Burgman was brought to this city for medical attention. Four other occupants of the car were not injured.

The weath- er was clear and cool enough to be very pleasant. The business houses, of the city were closed practically during the entire day and our citiiens spent their time in various ways. The Lutheran picnic at the Fair grounds drew a large crowd and the affair was a very pleasant one. Many people indulged in private picnics, and fishing parties, and others spent the day at their homes. Miss Louise Jackson, of St.

Louis, was the guest of Miss Jnlia Berkley several days last week. Quincy Bridge Doing Very Nice Business The new Quincy Memorial Bridge, which was thrown open to traffic on June 13, made a good showing for the seventeen remaining days in June despite the fact that high water rendered the detour road to the bridge nearly impassable for several days. During the seventeen days the bridge was open in June the daily- receipts averaged $272.16, while the operating expense, insurance, interest and sinking fund amount to $240 a day. A considerable sum of money was taken in from pedestrians prior to June 13th as the bridge had been thrown open to them on May 24th. The June receipts totaled $4,089.50 from passenger cars, $497.60 from trucks $9.40 from horse drawn vehicles, $54 from busses, $433.50 from pedestrians and $81.60 from extra passengers in trucks.

that averaged 42 bushels per acre. The grain is of an excellent quality. Peculiar Accident In Swimming Pool Kernu-e Trine, an eleven vear old Quincy girl, was injured in a ruan)e liiHinin 111 iiiuiii, ira, swimming pool of that city yester- dav and is in a serious condition. A large number of children had been in the pool yesterday morn- ine and as a consequence it was to be flushed and refilled. The guard blew his whistle for all to leave the pool.

All were thought to be out, but the child was under the tower the guard was sitting on. As the valve was opened to release the water the child dived directly into the suction caused by the pipe and was carried down with the rush of the water. The water forced her through the one hundred and fifty feet of fourteen inch outlet pipe and then down a wooden chute. A lady passing by saw the child emerge from the pipe and called aid. It was found that she was suffering from a crushed chest and many bruises and scratches and she was rushed to a hospital i.
