pused to be creditably informed that
the taxable property for this dis
trict--we mean the personal proper
ty-returned for this year, is actual

are almost entirely satisfied that its
value is at least quarter of mil
lion more.

Galloway, as commissioner, yester-
day sold large amount of real es-

Gazette; The "Pawnee" associa-
tion, and the brood of wildcat, fakir
associations founded upon it, are
busted" We pity the servant girls
and innocents who trusted to it; but
it is most enjoyable and laughable
to learn of the many "clear headed"
galoots who ''took stock" in them,
with the hope thet they would last
at least week longer, and that they
could make little money at the ex-
pense of others. 1t is pleasant to
think they were caught.
Ft. Smith Elevator: w. B. w.
Heartsill of Greenwood, in this coun.
ty sends us fine specimen of Con
cord grapes, second crop, grown by
him, as the result of judicious prun-
ling. The first crop was gathered
about August lst, the second on the
10th inst. They are very fine. and
we think sweeter than any Concord
grapes we have seen. Two crops ol
grapes, two crops of Irish potatoes.
Can't the poor man live in Arkansas
and let cotton alone.
Conway Log Cabin: A change has
been made in teachers in the school
Mrs. Suddarth had been employed
and accepted position as assistant
teacher. She arrived last Friday
and notified the board that she
would obligatc herself to accept q
position provided her religious con
vlctions were not interfered with, by
leaving out the Bible and prayer
Public schools are for educational
training and not to teach theology
The board so decided and asked
Mrs. Suddarth for her resignation.
The Hackett City correspondent
OF the Ft. Smith New Era writes as

still playing havoc with every live
thing that has scratched place on
it. They seem to be worse on hogs
than anything else. Drs. Forbes
and Hooper have been experiment
ing on them with different chemicals
and find that chloroform is the rem
edy. Itkils them the moment it is
applied. We advise all parties tC
