Schooi-House Tncendiaries Arrested.
The 81, 900 reward offered for the
burners of the negro school ol-houses that
have been destroyed in Pine Bluff, Ark,
within the past six months, has resulted
in the arrest of three negroes: S. J.
Hollinsworth, prominent negro law
yer; Thomas Jefferson and Jake Waters.
They were taken before Squire Rogers,
negro justice of the peace, and
held under SIS, 900 each for Hollins-
worth and Waters and $4,000 for
Jefferson. This ends a school-house
fight that has been raging am ong the
negroes of Pine Bluffs for six months.
That city claimed the finest system of
negro schools in the South, and until
lately they were we'll attended. Last
summer Hollinsworth's wife was drop
ped from the list of teachers. Hollins-
worth then charged that the women
teachers in the schools were immoral.
The fight became warm and three of
the finest school-houses in Pine Bluff
were burned. Hollinsworth is the
most prominent negro in that part of
the State, and hitherto has borne fair
reputation. Failing to give bond all O.
the parties were placed in jail.

Farmers who lind the business profit
able owe much OF their success TO the
good management or their wives. III is
conceded by all that farmer without
wife who is good home manager
cannot expect TO make money. AS n
general thing farmers wives are as
skillfull managers as their husbands,
and share almost equally with them the
burdens and privations Of farm live. A
woman who has been reared in the
country finds pleasure and health in
overseeing the dairy, the garden and
the poultry yard. ss we'll as loo'Sing al
ter her Household duties. Where "a
farmer has such wife he can devote
his entire time 10 his general farm
work and at the end OF the year the
profits will be nigh doubled.
There are in Indiana "A great many
women who farm extensively and are
as ssillful in the business as any of the
men. These women have made money
out OF The business and would not give

who have given farming much thought
and are equipped to make the business
