Two men were tried and convict ed this week at Lowell for stealing corn from Joe White. One of the witnesses testified that where he came from in Nebraska it is custom ary for people to take each orhers corn while it IS standing in the field. They know now that 1t is not customary for people ln Arkan- sas to steal from each other. Arkan- sas is democratic to about the same extent that Nebraska IS republican. We don't pretend to believe that a mans politics is any indication ot hls honesty, but if the witness at Lowell told the truth 1t would ap- pear as though it was. We think the witness lied a little.
