Rivers Banks settled on -a farm in the sand hills.

He broke the sod and planted some trees, apples and cottonwood. He tended them and they have grown. The apples are among the finest in the county. The orchard is not large, but the fruit is of an excellent quality. Banks raised his family on the farm.

Years of toil, with ays of doubt as to the ultimate outcome 'of this county1 was the old man's portion. He gave up the struggle, after his family had grown up and when death had taken part of his family. He moved to town' to spend the remainder of his days. A few years rolled away and he went the way of all flesh. The heirs "are scattered and the farm passed to other hands.

Thirty five years liave passed. The well known Rivers Bank's fa rm now owned by Judge F. L. Martin. He has found it necessary to cut some of the big cottonwood trees that Banks set out.

He started his saw mill today. Some of the trees are more than three feet across.

Most autoists realize it, for most of them are gentle, civilized men and women. There are some however, who run their machines in the face of a frightened team with all that delicate consideration of others which is observed in a drove of swine that scents the succulent swill as it is poured into the trough. What to do with them is a baffling question. For obvious social and moral reasons, we cannot approve pot-shotting them. Various legal devices of licenses arid speed regulations have, so far, made only an indifferent impression upon them.
