A young man at risk Of his life
saved beautiful girl from drown

the rescuer of his daughter by the

heroic rescuer, thinking thereby
to get both girl and money. "You

Aphorsfsnl.

Contentment is natural wealth;
luxury is artificial poverty.
Sin has many tools, but lie is
the handle that fits them all.
1t is right to be contented with
what we have; never with what we
are.
Circumstances form the character
but like petrifying waters they har-
den while they form.
Men of courage, men of sense and
men of letters are frequent; but a
true gentlemen is what is seldom
seen.
True contentment depends not
on what we have. A tub was large
enough for Diogenes, but a world
was too small for Alexander.
The prudent man sees only the
difficulties, the bold only the ad-
vangaes of great enterprise; the
hero sees both, dimisAes those
makes these predominant, and con-
qaers.

Weather.C Crop Bulletin.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, July IL, 1892.
The temperature has averaged
about degrees per day below the
normal, which together with the
small amount of sunshine has been
unfavorable for plant growth.
The average precipitation tor the
state has been about SO per cent
greater than the normal. 1t was,
however, very unevenly distributed,
some portions, particularly the
south and east, received a large ex-
cess while in other sections IL mark
ed deficiency is reported.
Over the greater part of the
state cotton has continued to i'm.
prove slowly though the weather
has been somewhat too cool.
Where rain has been frequent the
crop * very grassy. Several cor
respondents report that though
the plant is very small yet it is
truiting we'll.
Corn has imp, owed over the en-
tire state and the early planting is
laid by. The late planting needs
cultivation in many sections where
frequent showers have prevented
work
Peas, sorghum, millet and gar.
dons are doing we'll. Wheat and
oats are both good yield, though
the weather OF the past week has
somewhat interfere with harvest
ing the latter crop and making hay.
In the overfowed districts in
Desha Chicot counties, corn, peas,
millet and sorghum are being plant
ed as fast as the ground becomes
dry enough. In Mississippi and
Cross counties the rainfall has been
very excessive. Reports state that
much cotton and corn has been
drowDded out and farmers are dis.
heartened.
Dry, warm weather with abund-
ant sunshine would benefit all crops
during the ensuing week, except
in some few localities where rain
is needed.

THE CONTRACT LET.
Green Forests new School Building
to be Complete by Nov. 1.

The school board met last Thurs
day and opened sealed bids for the
building of the district school
house. The contract for the car
penter work was let to J. T. Glib
son of Oak Grove. The contract
calls for the completion of the
building by the first of Novem-
Der.
s. e. McMorris & Son, who have
the contract for furnishing the lum-
Der, have agreed to put the entire
lot on the ground within thirty
days.
Carl Buell. has been given the
contract tor levelling up the ground
on the lot on which the building
will stand; he has also purchased
the old school building.
So work will be begun in earnest
in a few days. Mr.. Gibson is a
first-class carpenter and will rush
the work for all there is in it.
The building will be after the
plan we mentioned some time ago;
28x50 feet, three stories high, the
two lower stories to be used for
school purposes and the upper
will be owned and occupied by the
F. & A. M. lodge.
The plans specifications show
that it will be a neat and we'll pro-
portioned building.
There will be nothing carried on
now in the way of a school ot liter
ary until the new house is complet-
ed; the public school will then
open.

DROWNED IN YOCUM.
The 12.year.oId Son Of Mum Carter, Of
Oak Grove, the Victim. Other
Items From YOcum.

YocuM, July 20-Osker, the L.
year-old son of Mr.. Nun Carter of
Oak Grove was drowned while in
swimming near by Rhodes & Mas
sey's mill yesterday. He and one
of Mr.. J. T. Gibson's sons had come
down from Oak Grove together to
mill, and while waiting for their
grain to be ground they went down
the creek about 200 yards below
the mill and Osker went into the
creek, Gibson remaining on the
bank. The little fellow soon got
into water over his head. Mr..
Glbson's son was too small to rem
der the little fellow any assistance.
He saw him go under the water but
thought for some time that he was
only diving, but when he thought
he bad been under the water too
long, he began to scream for help.
Several small boys who were near
by ran to the scene but all too small
to help him any. They gave the
alarm at the mill. A. Standlee,
Rhodes and Massey ran to the place
as quickly as possible to rescue him,
but too late, he was dead. They
did everything in their power to
bring him to life.
His remains were cared for and
his father sent for, and with the as
sistance of friends took his remains
back to Oak Grove.
Mr.. Carter is very much grief.
stricken over the death of his son.
Those present sympathized with
aim very much. The family have
the sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty in their sad bereavement.
We hope that this will be a lesson
70 all of our boys MOTTO go into the
water and especially when thcy
cannot swim.
Wheat stacking and threshing is
the principal work in this commu-
nifty.
In the primary Saturday, we
whooped It up for Jones and Phil
dips. Jones got 26 votes, Dinsmore

Live Within Your Means.

Many farmers burden is un-
necessarily increased because he
and his family think they must
present the same appearance and
live as we'll as others who possess
more money. True pride is a very
good thing in it's place, but the far
mer is wisest who has pride and
self-respect enough to live within
his means, pay his debts and lay up
a little something against a rainy
day rather than strain every nerve
TO wear as good clothes or drive as
good team as wealthier neigh
neighbor. It is because human ma
ture is the same on the farm as in
any other business that this false
pride exists. Our cities are full of
families who on an income of $1,000
a year are trying to live as we'll
and keep up the same appearances
as the family with an income of
five or ten times as much. Worse
still is the tendency among our
youth, both IN city and country, to
feel dissatisfied to begin at the bot
tom as their parents did. They
want to begin where their parents
left off. The young man who will
go to farming in the same earnest,
determined way as his father or his
grandfather did, with the
progress and enlightment of
the present day, may expect to be
far better off in 20 years than they
were in that time. lie certainly
will be much better off than the
average mechanic who works for
day wages and is always at the mer-
cy OF capricious employer and
who rarely own the house he lives
in or lays up any money. The re-
cent years ofagriculture depression
have knocked out much of the false
pride among farmers that was gain
ed by the prosperous times before
the panic of l6 years ago. Farm
ing is becoming more profitable
and more respected again. There
is no Disgusting the fact that the
tide is turning back to our farms
and that farm values are on tho
upward trend. Let the way
backs and grumblers try to think
so tar at least one year and try to
make farming more attractive, and
how much better every one will
feel. The chronic kicker-the to-
bacco-chew'ng gossiper who can
see no good in anything, who tries
to talk down in his ignorant and
mulish way every proposed i'm
p1ovoment, who mocks at progress
and thrives on scandal-these bar
nacles on our farming communities
ought to he exported. They have
no place in this bright, busy worlJ.
These semblances Of men ought TO
have been buried years ago. Such
fools should be laughed out of ex-
istance. We really believe that if
every such mossback gould be ship
ped to-Europe, and his place ia
ken by farmer who is at least
happy and sunshiny in mis- disposi-
ton, it would work marvellous

DEMAND FAIR PLAY,
Grand Master Sweeney on tht
SWitchmen's Grieyauces.

Grand Master Sweeney on the
SWitchmen's Grievances.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 17.-Ques-
toned as to the chances Of the strike
becoming general, Grand Master
Sweeney said today: mo man can
predict where this thing will end. 1t
may spread like wildfire. Certain it is
that the men have done everything that
man with an ounce of Self-respect
could do to avoid forcing the issues TO
strike. The Lehigh Valley men first
asked for reform on certain places
June II last. The company'S officers
refused to listen to. anything. They
have the idea that they can drive the
men and frighten them into submission,
but they are mistaken. Switchmen
cannot be driven. There is no question
of the justice of theiI demands. These
men ask that they be paid by the hour,
and that they be given time to eat their
dinner.
They also ask that when their COM
mittee go to the officers of the road to
call attention to abuses in respectful
manner they be accorded common civil
itY. The committee that waited on
Supt. Burrows, of the Central, were in
suited by him and were at once dis
charged. The reported to the organiza-
ton, and as result of Burrows brutal,
Overbearing conduct the men are out. l
cannot say what will be done today.
There will be no lawlessness that the
men can prevent.
Mr.. Sweeney declined to say whether
he would order the Chicago men out or
not. Any road that showed disposi-
tiOn to be fair, he added, would not have
any trouble.
Sweeney made some serious allega-
tions. Said he: You may say that
the switchmen are not only not to
blame for the disorder, but they have
not sanctioned them i'll any way. You
are aware that the Reading and Erie
systems and the dependents are highly
unpopular among the working classes
because Of their treatment of their men.
They treated them like dogs, and Nc
Leod, the president of the road, even
declined to see the committee of the or
ganizatiOn which went to see him. He
was asked to give only as much as five
minutes, but declined.
"When the strike came it was neces-
sary somehow or other to divert public
sympathy from the strikers. Railroad
lawyers and railroad managers are not
fools, and they devised means to get the
sympathy and put the strikers in the
hole. The strikers did not set those
cars on fire Sunday morning."
'Do you mean TO insinuate these roads
had these cars set on fire-burned their
own prOperty?" he was asked.
MIR. Sweeney said: Il have heard
just the rumor going about, nothing
less. 1t is well known that the cars
burned were condemned and aban-
doned. We can furnish evidence that
they were abandoned and useless old
cars"

DEVILS LAKE. N. D.. Aug. 17.-Rail-

spends part of his spare time at DEVILS
Lake. where his family is summering
at Heerman's Landing. He was ex-

run for senator in the Sixth senatorial
district. He makes no attempt to con-
ceal his opposition to the reelection of
GOV. Burke. and says that Shortridge,
the Peoples candidate for governor,
will be Endorsed by the Democrats and
Will, "of course" carry the state. He
thinks Shortridge will leave the Red
river valley with over 1000 majority.
The issue will not be on the relative
ability of the candidates, but on the
principle mostly affecting the farmers,
and involving the question whether
they are entitled to proper facilities to
enable them to be independent of ele-
vator companies and corporation ware
houses in the moving of their crops. At
this point the issue is we'll accentuated.

ALL HANDS QUITTING.
Lake Shore and Lackawanna Men
Now Out.


BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE
Lake Shore switchmen have just quit
work. A gang Of them were seen and
said they had been ordered out.
and that the Lackawanna switch
men will follow in less than
half an hour. Seven switch
engines in the South Buffalo yard. u.s.

are idle. A telephone message from
the Eleventh precinct says that the men
in the East Buffalo Lake Shore yards
are also out. This is confirmed by other
railroad men.
Tomorrow morning men were expect
ed to go to work in tile switchmen's
places. A full company of the militia
was sent to the Lehigh Valley district
late tonight. Work will be begun to-
morrow morning and as many trains as
possible gotten out. GOndOla cars are
being prepared with fixed benches
running lengthwlSe of the cars.
These are to be occupied
by Sharpshooters, well armed. and one
each of these cars is to be hooked to
each switch engine. Thus the crews
will be constantly under guard.
There was conference in the sher-
iff'S office this morning, at which Vice
PRESIDENT NeDO was present. The con-
ference did not last long, and resulted
in the sheriff drawing up the following
telegram to Gov. Flower:
Hon. Roswell P. Flower Executive Cham
ber, Albany-rhe strike here has assumed
such grave conditions that it is i'm.
perative. in order to protect life and prop
erty in the city and county, that the national
guard of the state of New York be ordered
out. and most earnestly request protection
of the state for personal liberty to that ex-
tent. AUGUST BECK
Sheriff Beck decided to hold the tele-
gram until he could confer with the
officers in charge of the troops.
