 As you have expressed desire for items from the different parts of the county, l will give you few dots from | Old Liberty.
 Crops are very good in our part of the vineyard-corn, l thiHk, never WAS better, cotton is very promising wheat and oats were fine indeed. Messrs. Maloney X Johnson are just about closing up the threshing busi- ness they have had q good run for three or four weeks.
 Several of the "bovs" went out, the | other day, on a "driye" and brought in the finest buck in the mountains. They eXulted "muchly" that a buck could be killed without either Col Young or Capt. Rollow.
 We have been experiencing some of the effect of Nenner's "cOld wave" though new 'tis warm enough for or dinary purposes.
 Health i. generally very good; in fact, this has been the hcalthiest season that we have ever seen in Arkansas.
 Politics is not raging very high with the Liberty boys, and, from the present mixed indications, one would be hardly justifiable in giving an opinion as to who will "beat," but at any rate 1 will hazard the guess that it will be the one Cor ones) who get the most "wotes"- [for the different oflces).
 We are pained to chronicle the fact that our fellow-townsman, Dr. Parsons, has very recently lost both of his chill dren-two sprightly little girls, aged about two and five years. They were sick only few days each. One died the l7th, the other the 18th ult., with cerebrO spinal affection.

forward till we stand with Iowa and Kansas and achieve total prohi- bition. If we are wise we will not attempt [ for d while at least. We have splendid local option law and one that, in most parts of the state, is giving most excellent results. To give this up and try for prohibition by popular vote might prove very disastrous to our best interests. Iowa voted for prohibitory amendment by large majority but it does not follow by any means that Arkansas would do the same thing.

Six years ago the James brothers, who

pistols at his head, seized the box, and
ealloped of. This was done In broad
daylight, in the midst Of great crowd.
Some time afterwards one Of the Kan
sas City reporters wrote an article about
these highwaymen, saying some kind
things. He called them brave, and said
they had done the most daring deed in

An Ancient Instrument.

Awriter in periodical called Hard
wdre says: The needle is one Of the
most ancient instruments Of which we I
have any record. The modern needle is
pointed instrument having an eye, and
is used for carrying thread, some kind
Of fabric or other material. 1t is prob
able, however, that the needles OF those
people who lived in very ancient times
had no eyes, as instruments of bone,
which were most likely used for that
purpose, are found in the caves that were
inhabited by ancient people Of France,
and the. needles Of ancient Egypt, which
are described as being Of bronze, do not
appear to have been made with eyes.
Some writer's are Of opinion that in place
| Of the eye q circular depression was
mnde in or near the blunt end, in which
the thread was buried. Pliny describes
the needles Of bronze which were used
by the Greeks and Romans. These in
sfruments have also been found in the
ruins Of Hercnlaneum. The first account
that history gives Of the manufacture Of
needles is, that they were made at
Nuremburg in 1760, and while the date
! Of their first manufacture in England is
in doubt, 1t is said 10 have commenced
| in that country about 1543 or 1916, and
it is asserted that the art was practiced
by Spanish negro or native Of India,
who died without disclosing the secret Of
his process, During the reign of Queen
Elizabeth this industry was revived
and has been continued ever since.

trade was clear evidence of incapacity. The
other trade mentioned in the newspapers was
broken up by friends who discovered that
he was running himself. What was the end
OF human punishment Life for life? Blood
for blood? No, 1t was for terror TO
evil doors, to reform the criminal. Would
not the public safety be assured If Almon
were confined for life He did not believe
that Almon's crime was deserving of DEATH
and we, who hope for mercy ourselves,
should vote for communication.
Senator Crane, of the judiciary committee,
said there had been no proof given before the
committee that Almon had not the will and
resolution of his years-had not the power
to distinguish between good or evil, to know
the right path from the wrong, TO choose
which he should follow. Mr.. Crane read
from the Argus and Patriots report OF the
murder to show that Almon was able to plan
the murder, TO carry ii out and to lie about
it afterwards. In closing he said that the
sentence should not be committed. and he
should vote against 1t.
Senator Burnap of Burlington argued
against communication, holding that submits
sion to another was no excuse for committing
crime. We should not forget the atrocity
of the crime nor the wrctchcs who commit
ted it.
