THE OLDEST PREACHER IN THE
WORLD,

Whether it is the effects of our
wonderful climate that people live
to greater age in Washington
county than almost any other place
in the world, we can not say, but
nevertheless it is fact. There are
scores of both men and women in
the county over 80 years old. 1t
was only three years ago that Peter
Mankins, ST., died at the age of II
years. young Peter" his son, is
hale and hearty at 90. Yet case
of greater longevity than that of
Mankins is produced. Thomas
Tenant, of Vineyard township, was
born in It'll, now la years ago.
He came to Arkansas about the year
1919, and settled near Little Rock,
where he followed the calling of an
itinerant Methodist preacher. He
came to this county and settled in
what is now Vineyard township in
1919, and has lived here ever since.
He represented the county in the
legislature at an early period of his
history. He has lived q most eN-
emplary life and is revered by all
who know him. He is one of the
Oldest men living, and probably the
Oldest minister in the world. Fay-

NEWSPAPER WRITERS,

Most of the best writer's of the
day are engaged in practical news
paper work, little recognized as the
fact may be. Writing is their pro-
fession and they do it better in al
most every case than amateurs. A
large number of the magazine writ
ers of to-day are professional men,
scientific men, soldiers, travellers
and explorers. The subject matter
of their articles makes them valuable,
not the manner in which it is pre-
scented. Many and many an inter-
esting sketch or profound essay is
written in an awkward and ungrace-
full way, which no good city editor
would allow his reporters to use.
Columns are read through, and the
gist found tucked away in q few
lines at the end. No wonder that
Dean Swift said that books were
like lobsters-you must look for the
best meat in their tails and lay their
bodies untasted back in the dish.
The economy of space restricts the
sphere of newspaper writer's. A
good journalist knows that anything
more than column, or column
and half at the outside, is seldom
read through. He writes to be
read. and restricts himself accord
ingly. A practical writer learns
to condense volumes IN a paragraph.
A good reporter would put the story
of Adam Bede in II column and a
half

that it was revolving. "Here JIM"
he said, "let us sit down." and he
sat down on the shaft, with his pipe
in his mouth, and his face toward
the stern. OF course the shaft car
ried him over, landed him on his
back on the deck, and began saving
away at the tail of his jacket. He
was greatly surprised, and, getting
on his feet, he looked steadily at
the shaft for minute, and then
said to his friend: II got up on
the wrong side; didn't l, Jim?"
Then he tried to sit down with his
face toward the bow; but the shaft
wouldn't let him. 1t butted him
off, and threw him forward. AT

When they reached the house the
boys we're IN favor Of having their vic
tim called out and arTa5gued in the front
yard. But the sheriff again overruled
the popular viii and left the men to
guard the house outside while he and
Bill went in TO make the arrest. Mrs
WinsloW came to the door in response to
their knock and sent one Of the children
for her husband.
Since leaving Higgins house the sher-
if had been arranging in his mind q
witheriBg speech, which he proceeded
TO deliver when Mr.. WinsiOW entered.
At first Mr.. WinsloW looked very much
perplexed, and his wife was frightened
just little. but as the speech proceeded,
and the nasal tones Of the sheriff grew
louder and more emphatic, a broad
smile grew on both their faces. When
it was finished Mrs. WinslOW turned 10
her husband with ''whaU are they talk
ing about, anyway, ThOmas?" Mr.. Wins
low replied with q loud ringing laugh.
/ When he had regained control Of his
face he turned to the two grave looking
men in the corner and said; Excuse
me gentlemen, but there is evidently
some mistake. Most likely it has grown
out of this scar on my arm, which you
may have noticed. When / was quite a

up his sleeve, ''by chatting my arm I can

Soon two crestfallen men emerged

to call again.

thrust his hands deep into his pockets

Strange discovery.

A Bedford, Indiana special to the
Cincinnati Enquirer says: Lucien Owens,
ST., farmer living about one mile north
of this place, while cutting some under
brush on his farm one morning at
9'OClOck, set his ak on the ground for some
purpose, with the point down, and was
some what surprised upon feeling the AK
strike some hard substance after passing
through about three inches of soft loose
dirt. Thinking perhaps there was some
thing beneath, he removed the loose
dirt to the depth of about three inches,
and was startled by seeing the hand of a
child hanging on the outside of q COM
mon paper box. He Immediately gave
the alarm, and then came to Bedford for
the coroner. Your correspondent, in
company with Esquire Alley, acting as
coroner, started for the scene, arriving
there about 2 o'clock. The baby was
Immediately exhumed and the inquest
held. The child, if such you may call it,
has the face more like a species of cat
than a human being, with no brains; in
fact, the top Of the head is fat, its eye
being the highest part of the head. The
child was elegantly dressed in white, and
with the exception of the head was fully
developed, and had apparently been dead
but a few hours. Whether it had been
placed in the grave dead could hardly
10 uCJOLL4luOUs az any IdL5 IL WOulQ
have been impossible for it to have
lived.
The only clew to the identity of the
child is on the box In which it was found.
There is a plank card pasted on the box,
on which there had been written name,
but as it was in 1ead-penciI, and an effort
made to erase it, it is very difficult to be
read, however, with a powerful magnify
ing glass, the address Bedford, Ind, and
the letters of the surname, with the ex-
ceptiOn of the capital, could be made out
The child was buried at this place by the
township trustees, and every effort is be-
ing made to ascertain the maternity of
the child.

A success


ArkansaW Traveller.
One of the schools of journalism has
become a great Success. During q mum
der of years many attempts to teach the
art Of journalism were made, but the re-
suits were 80 far from being satisfactory
that with one exception they have all
been failures.
This one college, realizing the imprac-
tiCability of the Curriculum previously
adopted, threw it aside, employed a man
who had, for many years, been engaged
IN active newspaper work, and intro
duced q course of study the achieve
ments of which proved that journalism
can be taught in colleges.
The following is a report Of the exer-
Cises through which q graduating class
was conducted:
"What is a law studentF'
"a rising young lawyer"
"What is a medical STUDENT"
"a promising young doctor"
"What is a young member Of the leg
islaturt2"
'A silvery-tongued orator"
eff a man should marry an ugly
woman how would you write up the af-
fair2'
81 should speak of tho beautiful and
accomplished BRIDE"
Chow would you speak Of a lOafeI?"
81 should refer to him as our enter
prising fellow tOWnsman."
"What Is a drummer
"The handsome and popular So-and-
So"
''In writing up the commencement ez-
ercises of the female college, what would
you say?'
81 would say that the beautiful
young girls, soon to become Orna ments
Of society, were charming in their
leathery array"
IF cOuntryman were to bring you q
lot OF hard apples, what would you
say?
"Our farmer friend, Colonel So-and-so,
hOnOred Us with a call yesterday. Aside
from giving Us the pleasure Of his own
genial self, he laid upon our table a col
lection of the most choice apples we
have ever seen. Come again, colonel,
when you have longer to stay"
Correct"
Glow would you speak of a little
girl?"
would call her a fairy"
"What would you say Of bOy2'
would speak of his bright, intelli-
gent face"
"What would you say of a man who
keeps a few bolts Of CaliCO?"
II would speak of him as one of the
most successful merchants Of the stste.'
Yes, this school Of journalism ia g sue
cess. 1t defines the true position Of the
local newspaper. 1t makes the business
so clear that the student, though q fool,
need not err therein. 1t attempts no
revolutions; makes no mistakes.

FARM AND FAMILY.
SEVEN BLIND woSDEn.

SEVEN BLIND WONDEEs.
Atlanta Consultation.
For several day g past there has been g
remarkable family Of negroes ia Atlantis.
Their name IS Williamson, and they
came from Wilson county, North Caro-
lima. There are three brothers and four
sisters, all Of whom have been totally
blind from their birth. They are the
children ofbLack parents WhoWeEe slaves
and ordinary field hands. Unto them
were born fourteen children, seven Of
whom had sight, while seven were blind.
The blind children were not only hardl-
er and healthier, bat their mental en-
dOWments are superior to those Of their
brothers and sisters who could see.
They went TO Raleigh 10 the State
Blind asylum, and were there Wen edu-
Gated. Every one of them developed
remarkable talent for music, and on
leaving the asylum, organized them
selves into g concert company, and be-
gan 20 travel through the South. The
oldest brother married 6 smart negro
woman, who acts as. guide and business
manager Of the party. They have been
all over the South, giving entertainments
which have paid them Handsomely.
They sing and play on various instru-
ments with remarkable skill All of
them have good voices, which have been
Wei bIAi46ts
The most remarkable performances
are the exhibitions or their powers Of
mimiCTy. They initiate a brass band so
perfectly that a person outside the hall
in which they are humming, would ale
most Invariably be deceived. Their inn
ltatiOn Of the organ is equally perfect.
Each Of the singers makes a peculiar
noise, and carries his or her own part Of
the performance, and the combined re-
suit is a deep music, very like the peal
ing Of q grand organ. These are two Of
their many tricks. They are constantly
adding TO their repertoire and perfecting
themselves more and more in their curi-
GUS arts. They have educated the sense
Of touch TO a very remarkable degree.
By feeling Of a persons face and head,
they can give an accurate description Of
his or her appearance; and one of the
sisters claims that she can tell the color
of the hair by touching it.
The seven will stand with Joined hands
and any object can be placed ia the
hands Of the oldest brother at the end
Ofthe line; while he holds it, he claims
that the magnetic current which passes
through the entire line, will enable any
one OF his brothers and sisters to tell
what he has in his hand. AT any rate,
some remarkable guesses Of this kind
are made.
