A pigs New Spring Suit.

The most remarkable occurrence
we ever heard In connection with
hogs has happened to one belonging
to j. Selby Goslee, near Delmar. II
was large animal aud very fat,
weighing at least 800 pounds. About
the last Of November Mr.. Goslee no.
ticed it had stopped eating. For
two weeks it ate nothisg and then
seemed to recover its health. About
that time small crack in the skin
was observed along the side. Then
a similar one appeared on the other
side and then on it's neck. These
cracks extended gradually and the
skin appeared TO be getting loose.
The process continued until about a
week ago, when on going to the pen
Mr.. Goslee was astonished to find
the skin lying in one place and the
hog alive and well in another. An
inch of fat was still adhering to the
cast off coat and the whole weighed
33 pounds. The skin on the legs
and head remained on the hog. The
animal is now apparently in excel
lent health and new skin IS begin
ming to form. Mr.. A. Parsons tell
Of similar occurrence in the case
Of sheep, which happened many
years ago, only the skin came off in
flakes and pieces gradually. Sails
bury Advertiser.

Born l773 DIED lSS3.-The
death of Berdard Doran, janitor of
grammer school No. 80, at the ex-
traordinary age of Ito years, was re-
ported yesterday. He was a native
OF Ireland, and his son, John, says
that in 1929 he saw the old family
Bible, in which his birth was re-
corded as having taken place on Jan.
7, 1878. Doran's father was land
agent for Sir John Stewart, and, ii
is said, lived TO be l04 years old.
The latter janitor came to this coun-
try in 1889, and was appointed in
1S45 to the position which he held
up to the time ofhis death. He was
twice married, and had nine children,
three of whom, now very old, survive
him. Doran never drank drop of
liquor, and never used tobacco.
He had always enjoyed the best of
health and never had occasion to
consult q physician until within a
few days of his death. He died
from general debility incident to ex-
treme old age.-New York World.

The Man With an Income and
Nothing to Do.

A man who has nothing to do is a
pitDssie object, says Burdette. He
is simply kept man. He is living
on charity. Some amiable snoozer,
now dead, has left him the money
that he lives on, and ali he has to do
is to draw the money, eat, drink and
sleep. No eyes can brighten with
happiness when he comes home, be
cause he only comes home when the
other places are closed. He cannot
come home tired, and be petted and
rested by willing hands, because it
would be a mockery to pet tired
man who had got tired doing moth
ing. Such man simply exists and
is no good on earth. If he would
wheel barrow and earn a dollar,
and get tired, and buy beef-steak
with the dollar, and have it cooked,
and eat it while the appetite was on
that he got wheeling the barrow, he
would know more enjoyment than he
had ever knoSn before. That man
with nothing to do on earth no doubt
thinks, as he lays around and smells
frowsy that he is enjoying life. but
he knows no more about enjoyment
than tom-cat that sleeps all day
and goes out at night to play short
stop to lot of bootjacks and beer
bottles. Such man is cipher and
does not know enough to go in when
it rains. If there were less incomes
left to lazy young men fellows and
more sets Of carpenter tools there
woald be more real ENJOYMENT

Deceiving In Looks.

little whiskev and quinine

"Yes, ] think so,' said the doctor,
after looking at his tongue, "whis-
key and quinine."
Say, doctor, I'm mighty decay

Bro. Roberts Dead.

Rev j. j. Roberts, known to as
many Arkansas people as any other
minister IN the state, died at his
home in this town Yesterday morn
ing at 8 o'clock. He had been in
very poor health for many months
and had been confined to his room
for several weeks, hence, his death
was not unexpected. He met the
grim messenger with courage that
might charm a soldier-a fitting
close to noble life. He leaves a
wife and son who have the sympa-
thies of the entire community though
every one ieels himself mourner
He will be buried to day with ma
sonic honors.-Dardanelle Post.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.


 The Crop Returns for DeGefhbes; WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The December crop returns issued from the department of agricultute to-day report the season for cot ton picking since the frosts in the gathering of the bottom crop quite favorable. The in dications of the December returns favor a re- duetien of about 15 per cent. from the crop of last year. This report points to crop of about six million bales. The returns of corn production are more conservative than those of October and November from the injury to soft corn by warm moist weather. The final estimate oi the gusntits produced vill, fall few millions short of the indications of pre- vious returns. This estimate relates only to quantity and makes no discount for the in ferior quality which seriously increases the practical shortage. The wheat aggregates slightly exceed four hundred million bushels The oat crop is about per cent larger than that 5f last year aHd exceeds five hundred million bushels The yield of rye and barley is little less than in 1882 and buckwheat is reduced more than one-third
