The cost of seeds compared with tbe value of the crop is so small that a few cents saved by buying second-rate seeds will amount to many dollars lost when the harvest is gathered. Farm ers have found out by many cost ly failures what a risky thing it is to buy seeds without being pretty sure that they are reliable and true name. The latest cata-i logue of the seed house of D.

Joe claiming that Bird owed him and the latter denying the allegation. They, both became -warm over the affair, and finally Joe started off. makm S the threat that he was going after a gun. and would t ' mG to P®y I or ^ a Bird. Just as Joe reached the front door, going after the gun. as was supposed. ; Bird whipped out a 44 and said : j "Are you going after a gun to shoot me ?" aud tired at Joe twice, the first shot taking in his neck under his chin, the second ! one entering his neck about two inches below and behind his ear. going in a downward direction and coming to the surface just j under the skin at the back of his neck. Williams was taken to his ; room and the doctor called, who soon stopped the flowing blood, while seriously injured it is not thought to be fatal, and Joe is a i OQ g remarkably well.
