    Mrs. John L. Willis and Miss Gertrude Martin warn the public not to trouble the flowers in their family lot at Westview Cemetery where Captain John L. Martin rests. Two of the large Japonicass were taken last spring.
    A statement given out by Manager W. C. Brinson of the fair says he is working hard for several individual farm exhibits. He has promises from several farmers large exhibits of their agricultural products. Mr. Crow says he has in view now the largest and best animal show ever had. Miss Massey says her club girls will have all their exhbits.

    A Florida kid submitted the follwing so-called poem to the paper entitled, The Lost Ford.
Lost- One Ford car with piston ring,
          Two rear wheels and one front spring;
          Has no fenders, seats are planked,
          Burns lots of gas and hard to crank;
           Carborator rusted half way througb,
          Engine missing, just hits on two;
          Three years old, coming four this spring,
          Has shock absorbers and every thing;
           Radiator busted and sure does leak;
           Differential dry, you can hear it squeak;
           Ten spokes missing, front all bent,
            Tires blown out, not worth a cent;
           Gets lots of speed, will run like the deuce;
            Runs on gas or tobacco juice;
             Tires all off, runs on the rim,
            A darn good Ford for the shape its in.
    J. J. Wilkins says this particulaf machine belongs to Charles W. Brantley of Spann. The Headlight dosen't vouch for it, but is content to take J. J.' s word for it.
