 Knowing these facts, have been re- quested by my friends to give the public the benefit of my knowledge, which consented to do.
 Annie Laurie was born in 1927, and was about seventeen years old when the incident occurred which gave rise to the song bearing her name. James Laurie, Annie's fnther, was a farmer who lived on and owned very large farm called "Tharaglestown," in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. He hired 8 great deal of help, and among those he employed was man by the name of Wallace to act as foreman, and while in his employ MT. Wallace fell in love with Annie Laurie, which fact her father learned and forthwith dis charged him. He went to his home, which was in Maxwelton, and was taken sick the very night he reached there, and the next morning, when Annie Laurie heard of it, she came to his bedside and waited on him until he died, and on his death bed he con- posed the song entitled
 FANNIE LAURIE.'
 Maxwelton braes are bonnie
 Where early fa's the dew,
 And it's there that Annie Laurie
 Gie'd me her promise true;
 Gie'd me her promise true;
 Which ne'er forgot will be;
 And bonnie Annie Laurie
 I'd lay me doun and dee.
 Her brow is like the snaw drift;
 Her throat is like the swan;
 Her face it is the falrest
 That e'er the sun shone on
 That e'er the sun shone on
 And dark blue is her ee;
 And for bonnie Annie Laurie
 I'd lay me down and dee.
 Like dew on the gowan lying
 Is the fla O. her fairy feet;
 And like the winds in summer signing,
 Her voice is low and sweet
 Her voice is low and sweet
 And she's a the world to me;
 And for bonnie Annie Laurie
 I'd lay me down and dee.

THE ARkANsAw TRAVELLER

found in the world than in Washing ton and Benton counties, it is equally true that Howard county in the southwestern corner of the state, produces equally as good apples ot some varieties. The finest plate of Shannon apples on exhibit at the meeting of the American Pomological Society held in Boston, Mass, last September, were grown on 8 colored mans farm in Howard county. The large pears exhibited at the New Or leans Centennial Worlds Fair were grown at Mineral Springs, Howard county. One of these pears measured seventeen inches in circumference and weighed two pounds four ounces. AS for grapes the exhibit made at the Arkansas Exposition at Little Rock last fall settled the question regarding the adaptability of that part of the state as grape growing and wine producing section. Heretofore, but little attention has been given in the southwestern part of the state to fruit growing, for commercial purposes, but now that the opportunity is given to procure fruit trees of all kinds from the nurseries of Little and Yowell, of Nashville, Howard county, there is every reason to believe that in a reasonable time southwestern Arkan- sas will become as noted for it's splen- did fruits as any part of the state, and doing this places that section second to no other portion of the world.
 It is reported that a syndicate of Georgia capitalists have secured the exclusive right for the southern states of Tompkin's process of reducing veg etable fibers to paper stock, with the intention of establishing mills in all the cotton states and applying the process of reduction to paper from cotton stalks, part of the plant now practically worthless. It is claimed they can be converted into news paper stock by this method at two cents per pound. This is another im- portant discovery in the economical use of southern product that here- tofore had no value. Cotton prom ises to establish itself as king more firmly than ever. The lint as a tex tile fiber, seed for cattle feed, the oil in it's many uses, and now the stalk not only for paper stock, but it's fiber equals that of flax for the multiplied purposes the latter is used for. In connection with this, we would call attention to the fact that our sweet gum Qiquid amber styraciflua) which grows in such abundance, has been tested for the manufacture of wood pulp and found to be equal to the woods at the north most valuable for that purpose. AS this pulp is now manufactured into many of the arti- cles in domestic use, such as buckets, bowls, milk pans and pails, tubs, etc., etc., besides taking the place of glass and wood as packages for putting up various kinds of merchandise, it will be in great demand while the raw material costs comparatively nothing. No industry would pay the investor better than 8 wood-pulp mill near this city.

A BROKEN HEART.
The Sad Death of Young Lady Caused
by BIishted Affection.

The Shelby Aurora tells of the sad death
of Miss Victoria lIogue in the Western n
G.. Asylum, and gives touching history
Of her life. In 1897 she had a lover, Rev
g p. Of Robson county, light haired
student OF Wake Forest College, who wooed
and won her heart. He was a crank and
claimed that the Lord directed him not to
marry her. She never saw him afterward,
but unhappy in her love- her heart had
been captured, and sacked, and aban-
doned, and left desolate.' Her bright
ewes grew dim, her soft cheeks grew pale,
her rest was broken, dry sorrow drank
her blood > her mind became enfeebIed,
and she wc,tt down to an untimely grave.
Her disOrdered imagination caused her to
behold the form Of her fathless lover IN
her last hours. We have read no story
more touching. except Washington Irving

aud contr ested it with the sicsenlng sub

Belva Lockwood,s chances for election are

save his vote if he casts it with the Third
Party. Some may vote that ticket to
''show their colors' and that they may
appear spunky, but is it wise. The Third
Party vote will not measure the strength
of Prohibition in either the State or Ma

financial benefit to the people. Any com

under Prohibition can do SO by vote Of the
