Now there is another man who thinks
he knows how to make hens lay, and he
communicates the process to one of the
agricultural papers. 1t is in the food, of
course. That's what all these idiots say.
When will the true nobility of hen be
understood Hens are not machines.
They are reasoning, thinking beings. If
there 10 one sight more impressive than
another it is hen thinking. If you want
to make hen lay get on her best side.
Work on her feelings. This can be done
by studying her nature and learning her

Daniel BOOne's Death.

Below is published a letter from Col.
A. G. Boone to the Clark County Demo-
crdt. Col. Boone lives in Denver City,
Colorado, and is a grandson of Ken
tucky's famous pioneer, and, the Paris
Citizen says, was born near Greensburg,
KY, in 1906. He is one of the commits
sioners to treat with the Sioux Indians
for the cession of the Black Hills coun-
try, and was in Washington at the time
Of writing
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 26, 1877.
Editors Clark County Democrat-Sirs ::
see in your paper of March 7 an &C
count of the death of my grandfather,
Daniel Boone, taken from the Western
Citizen, September, 8, 1909. This is q
hoax, and was published by man whose
name have forgotten. remember that
my father, Judge Jesse Boone, on seeing
it, went to the editor and demanded an
explanation. The man said he had been
to Missouri to purchase land, and on re-
turning he wanted to have something ex-
citing in the account of his trip; he
therefore put this in. He gave my
father letter of apology with the above
explanation.
The true account of the death of
Daniel Boone is this: He died at the
house of his youngest son, Nathan Boone
afterwards Lieutenant Colonel in the
regular army on Femme Usage river,
Missouri, in the fall of 1920, after short
sickness. He never complained, but
seemed to have worn out. l was close
by at the time. He had given up his
fort at La Charette (Which he built for
the protection of everybody during In
dian hostilities) to Mr.. Flanders Gallo
way, who was married to my aunt
Jemima, the daughter of Daniel Boone,
who was captured by the Shawnees near
Boonesborough with Calloway's sister,,
and who was recaptured, her father and
friends killing all the Indians. My
grandfather sometimes stopped with
Flanders Galloway. The last year of
his life he spent with my father, and had
gone on visit to my uncle Nathan's,
where he died. He had not hunted much
for several years before his death. 1.-THE
Life of Daniel Boone by Timothy Flint"
is the most correct history Of my grand
fathers career. Rev. Timothy Flint, a
Baptist preacher, was teaching school at
St. Charles, and went to school to him.
st. Charles is thirty miles from La Cha
rette, and Flint would come up and
spend few days with grandfather and
take notes, repeating his visits frequently,
until he completed his work. Grand
father was not taciturn by any means,
but on the contrary delighted in con-
versatiOn.
merely write this in order that the
people of Kentucky-above all others
may not be misled by an ante morton
obituary of man whom they honor and
who lived eleven years after his reputed
demise. Very respectfully,
A. G. BOONE, Denver, Col.

TEXAS is undoubtedly the greatest
cattle producing region on earth. Ten
of her live stock breeders alone own
1,O25,OOO cattle, besides horses and
mules, and six Of them have 6S2, 900
acres of pasture enclosed. Think of her
hundreds of cattle owners, great and
small, and realize, if you can, the mag
ni6cent proportions to which this indus
try has grown in few years. Seven
years ago the census placed the figures
for the State 424, 504 horses, 81, 322 mules
and asses, 428,048 mich cows, 132, 400
oxen, and other cattle at 2,9S3, 045; or
for all the owners in the State only
2,46a, 900 moro than are now owned by

A Curious Story About John F. Tracy.

There is temptation to write of Mr..
John F. Tracy as if his death had been
announced, and in the same spirit as an
obituary article would treat of citizen
who had occupied so conspicuous place
before the public. The disaster which
has overtaken him is worse than death
coming upon man in the enjoyment of
all his honors, richly earned there is
probably little left to Mr.. Tracy's life but
the mechanical process of breathing.
With his position, fortune, physical health
and mental vigor all gone, he is so COM
plete wreck that there is little left for
death to take. We say it in the kindliest
spirit. For couple of years it has been
an open secret that Mr.. Tracy has been
suffering from a partial softening of the
brain, which, along with other diseases,
had rendered him unfit for business. He
went to Europe in the hope that rest and
change would restore him his health, but
for some months past his friends have had
him under sort of surveillance, con-
WINGED as they were that he was scarcely
capable of caring for himself, and appre-
hensive of some calamity overtaking him
through his own indiscretions. He re-
NAMED President of the Rock Island
Road only nominally, and his recent
heavy losses in New York stock gambling
rendered his definite and public retire
ment necessary to the interests of the
road.
If the failure of his last pool had oc
Cured while he was in the full possession
of his health and faculties, he would only
have been beaten at his own game, played
by him for years desperately and without
scruple. But, in view of the fact that he
went into this operation with impaired
faculties, and eluding the vigilance of his
friends, it is only proper to regard his
misfortune with the same pity that one
feels in contemplating disaster that
overtakes lunatic who escapes from the
asylum. 1t is intimated that Tracy's
large fortune, estimated as high as $3,OO0,-
900 and 100000, has been entirely
swept away. This may be exaggerated,
but in any case large part Of it has dis
appeared. 1t is not likely that he will
live long to regret his losses, and we be-
lieve that he has no immediate family to
suffer from them.-Chicago Tribune.

THE Spite dogs are to be congratulated
that they have never cultivated news
paper literature. They do not know
that everybody is abusing them, and
looking at them with the ill-will born of
fear. But the jolly Spitz will hold his
place among the children in spite of his
calumniators.

THE IMMiGRATION MEET

Owing to the fact that the sudden change in the weather last Saturday morning, accompanied by fall of rain, snow and sleet, kept almost every body housed up, and prevented anything like desirable attendance on that day, there was no attempt made to hold the meeting called on that day for the purpose of forming a County Immigration Society. As will be seen by the proper announce ment, which will be found in another place in to-day's paper another day for the meeting has been set, and we hope the effort next time will be more successful. Many men seem to be at loss to understand the objects of the movement, or the good to be accomplished thereby. We hope all such persons will come to the meeting and see and hear,
 
 and we guarantee that if they will join in with the movement very much good will result. If we get a thoroughly organized society here with energetic workers in it, we will locate hundreds of good families in our county this year. The society can gather much useful information and disseminate it. It may be use ful in various ways. All parties who have lands for lease or sale in our county can send in to the Secretary | lists of the same, with description, price, terms, &c. All who want ad. ditional tenants and work hands can send their names and wants to the Secretary, and thus new corners can at once secure information on these points.

DOVER, Ark, March 20, 1877

 To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 There is an old proyerb which says "A stitch in time saves nine." Tho this is quaint old saying, in com mon use among all classes of people, it forms the basis of theory that holds good throughout all the trans actions of life. It matters not what a persons occupation is, if he would govern his business rather than let his business govern him, he must not only keep apace with the many vicissitudes through which he must pass, but he must be continually looking ahead, anticipating the prob able changes, and "ups and downs" peculiar to his business, and thus be prepared to withstand the fluctua- tions so peculiar to every avocation of life. Right here I will drop this query: As I people exercising the right of suffrage, ought we not to s'look ahead" into our political affairs with as much earnestness as the merchant or the farmer would en- deavor to look into their particular business? As constituents of a Re publican government { do not use the word republican in any party sense), does it not behoove each and every voting citizen to look with a penetrating eye into the. character and qualifications of every person who desires to sacrifice himself upon the altar of office, and see whether or not he would be an acceptable sacrifice" But perhaps some one will be ready to say that we have no aspirants for office, and there is no nsc in agitating the matter while all around is calm and peaceful. But, fellow citizens, now is the time to begin the work, let us not sit idle until the last days are upon us and then be unprepared for the contest. Let us set ourselves to work diligent
 ly by closely observing the official conduct of every person that we by our sutfragcs have placed in office, from Representative down to coroner, and see whether or not any of them have betrayed the trust reposed in

HAYES AND THE SOUTH.

That Mr. Hayes prctences of a desire to see justice and peace accorded to the South, were, and are, all mere no-such-a- thing, is now becoming appa- rant to the dullesU observer. And that Mir. Hayes is a vascillating, per fidious man totally unfit and une- qual to the task of giving the coun- try anything like q respectable ad- ministration is equally apparent. Mir. Hayes now says it requires great caution and deliberation to make move in the direction of res
 toring self government in the South
 ern States. It is so humiliating and outrageous to see State of this Union begging President of the United States to allow her the con trol of her own State affairs without the interference of the federal troops, that it is n wonder that the exasper- ation of the people can be held with in bounds. It is an outrage which the other States of the Union should not tolerate, and we think the tune has come when the States and the people should speak right out on the subject. If we have a republican form of government let it be enjoyed hy all aIike, even if the President ol
