in the lot of apples sent to the Ex-
position from the Harrison Fair
were some of the finest apples ever
put on exhibition, and that Carroll
county is now represented by a
number of fine specimuns. Five
large, yellow apples, contributed
by J. B. Taylor, of Green Forest,
attract general attention. The va
riety has not yet been determined,
although the best pomologists in
the country have passed upon it.
1t is thought to be a hybrid be-
tween the Porter and the Bellfow-
er, as it has some peculiarities Of
each. 1t is quite large, and is said
to have a delicious flavor. T. F.
Hawley, of Eureka Springs, sent
several samples of the Douchess
de Angouleme pear, grown on trees
set cut in the autumn of 1891, with
in 600 feet of the famous Basin
Spring. The largest one weighs
II IL ounces. Four apples grown
by B. O. Bayless of the same place
weighed five pounds.
After ten days hard work by
Mr.. Joseph Armitage, the ladies CT
the W. G. T. U. had completed a
canvass of the district against the
granting of saloon license in Har-
rison next year; and were ready to
appear before the County Court
with about three to one against IL
cense. But sometime between Sat
urday evening and Monday morn.
ing the petition with all the names
was misplaced, lost, or stolen, and
could not be found. Determined
not to be outdone, the court was
petitioned to grant hearing on
the 18th of October, which was
done, and canvassers are again in
the field with new petitions.--Boone

Col. E. J. Black, late of Pueb-
10, Col, but now OF Berryville, was
in town Sunday and Monday, shak-
ing hands with old acquaintances.
Mr.. Black left here some six years
ago for the great West, but like
nearly every one else who have
left Arkansas, he returned fully
sa tilted to remain. 1t i'll be re-
m emil bered that he is an ex-repre-
sentative of Carroll county, and
was at the time of his departure
one of our leading lawyers. He
informs us that he will again open
a law Office in Berryvilie. We wei
come him back, and wish him sue
cess.
Numerous reports have been
given out here during the last few
days to the effect that Jess
Warren, who was recently Jailed at
Berryville under charge Of Grimm
ally assaulting woman at this
place, is making vigorous efforts to
induce the officials to believe that
he is demented. The only visible
sign yet exhibited, however, is in
his entertaining the idea that he
can run such a bluff. We sincerely
hope that his wouId-be crazy ac-
ticns will meet with no sympathiz-
ers, and that the fate he richly de-
serves may not be delayed an hour
on any excuse.
The latest effort among our mus
ically inclined boys is the organiza-
ton of string band for home
amusement. The members are:
Ebert Russell, violin; Lee Stacy,
bass violin; J. P. Edwards, banjo;
and James Braswell, guitar. The
boys are all very good musicians,
and we expect to hear some ex-
cellent music, by and by.
Prof. n. P. Burney and lady, of
Green Forest, visited friends here
last Saturday. The Prof. IS proud
of the fact that Notwithstanding
our numerous and excellent sch ools,
a number Of Boone county students
will attend the Green Forest
school this winter.-Harrison
