Lincoln county has never Bince its
opening had as bright prospects for a
crop—not particularly one section,
but taking the county as a whole. I
have never seen such a corn
ct op nor as heavily fruited crop of
cotton. If I was called upon to give
an estimate I would be safe in saying
that the yield per acre of the cotton
crop exceeds her greatest crop fully
25 per cent.
While this estimate applies to the
whole county, there are some sections
that are especially worthy of mention,
particularly in the township of Wells
to the Payne county line. Within this
region the crops are exceptionally
fine; there is also a 10 per cent in-
crease in acreage.
While the spring rains damaged
some of the cotton and corn along
some of the water courses, the damage
done was at least 75 per cent less than
reported. In some sections the wheat
crop was short; however, this was
compensated by re-cropping the land
with other products, such as kafir
corn, cane, potatoes, etc. The corn
crop is especially fine in the south-
west portion of the county from Ellis

Our educational advantages are su-

New Haven, Conn., Aug. 12.—A
decision adverse to William J. Bryan
over his contest of the will of James
P. Bennett of New Y’ork and this
city was handed down today by the
supreme court of errors. The deci-
sion virtually denies that Mr. Bryan
is entitled to the #50,000 mentioned
in the sealed letter written by Mr.
Bennett and addressed to his widow
to be read by her after his death.
By this letter the widow was asked
to give #50,000 to Mr. Bryan and
his family.
The decision sustains the opinion
given by the superior court in the case
last spring and also the decision of
the probate court before which the
matter was brought up. No opinion
was filed with the decision which was
given by Chief Justice Torrence Jus-
tices Hall, Hammersley, Baldwin and
Prentice concurred.

Potatoes and other vegetables are
fine. The potatoes are cut off in
acreage but the yield per acre is bet-
