The Perfect Girl.

Girls, remember that the perfect woman,
like the perfect peach or tho perfect ross.
should not be judged so much by what she
is as for what she hopes or aims to be-" She
loves the beautiful, the refued and the
artistic, aud her wishes and endsavors are
ever reaching out to get them and yet her
environment and fate have placed her with
in certain walls beyond which she cannot
pass, and so her passion for beauty that
might have glowed in psintiug and lived iu
sculptursd forms takes on another form aud
appeals 10 the world in blooms Of house
plants and in the adornnent oil her tidy
homes. Music that might have charmed
listening thousands from the mimic stage
lulls infancy to sleep castles that filled her
girlhood dreams live in aeedlework on tides
and aprons, and the noble prince who wait
ed in the courtyard for her coming now
reigns her king and lord in the husband
Of her choice.
In fact the perfect girl is she who can
make the best Of what she has, and eunoblc
the low and common, making them sacred
aud lsudable. So for today and in the COM
ing days the perfect girl must be one who
can do all things well, who can turn the
churn crank or play the pisno aud harp, or
stand over the stealning wash-tub aud crown
her head with the soapy rainbows of the
Mondays wash. This is the girl that tho
world wants today. 1t will want her still
more tom orrow, and more and more in years
to come.

Kelton Notas.


KELTON. April ll.-Mr. William Hart,
who has been in feeble health the past four
or FIVE years, died at his residence near
Keltpn, yesterday. at the ripe old age Of 10
years.
regret to say that Mr.. ksseph RISKY is
lying in very critical condition, and suf-
Turing greatly from the injuris, he received
in the accident at the railroad. reported last
week in the TIMIs. lie then received
severe internal injuries, from which it is
feared he viii not recover.
Grady Moore had the sad misfortune TO
have his corn-orib and contents totally de-
stroyed by fire la.t Thursday night, about
s clock The crib was at leat 200 yards
from any dwelling house, and there had
been no fire near it, so its origin is a mys-
terry. Some think that perhaps a rat had
stolen n match and took it into the crib, and
in nibbling the phosphorous set fire to the
place. Some suspect an incendisry, but
,annot Spot him. To my mind there are
too many unaccountIb!e f-es nowadays for
all of them TO be charged to RAGS ard
matches. Careip.sness In buning brush or
from other fires in the open air has no
doubt, much TO do with such accidents, but
incendiaryism is becoming alarmingly com
mon in the country.
We had two forest fires" near here last
Saturday.
u is getting too dry io' pIowing, and
all Ainas sf yeC.'ation is beginning to suffer
for want Of rain.
A good deal Of corn and some COTTON las

sAxfrc, April 10 Last Friday night
burglars broke into Mr. w. 7. Jones store,
drilled infe the examination Of the safe asd
stols $50 cash 'ffcm IL. They also broke
into the depot but found no money. aud
maliciously broke the ticket cabinet 10
pieces. Ii appears that the rs.~.,. s--.
oroks INTO tns railroad tsol house and took
cut pineh-bar, hammer and several ether
tools, which they used In breaking into the
depot and store. They lsft these tsels In
Dir. Jones, Office. They are. no doubt, pro-
sheir work quietly and in the neatsst style
OF the art Of burglary. About week ago
Two strangers stopped here day or two
and made themselves quite pleasant and
familiar with MIR. Fleming, the r. K. Agent.
On the night OF aha burglary two strange
men were seen by several persons, ,lsuuging
about, AMI il is now thought they would
have entered Mr.. l.. B. Jetsrs store, but
one Of them saw Mr.. Jeter's clerk enter the
store by the front door, but did not see him
como out, and thinking that he slept in the
store, did ne; care TO risk their work in
such dangerous proximity. Mr. Jeter's
store appeared to be particularly interesting
to the two loafers Of the week before, and
no doubt would have been visited by the
burglars Friday night, but for the fortunate
Quito number of green goods" circu
which some very fatteripg and tempting
offers are made. l h0po that none OF our
people will "bite" at it.
Considerable corn has been plantei, and
many arc planting cotton seed, urged on by
the inviting warm weather. The sun has
been shin ng 50 warm and the wind being
so high as to dry out red Ian I, making it so
hard that il cannot be worked.
Wheat is looking fine, so are oats, but il is
thought that rain would help them. Every

to work.

Farming and Fires on Pea Ridge.

Pr, RIDGE, April l0.-After a very severe
winter we are now having as warm and dry
weather as | ever saw at this time Of year
Nearly oil of the farmers on the Ridge are
ready 20 plan: :i;Sir cotton seed. Most OF
them have finished planting corn. l have
heard Of soue intending " plant part Of
the land they prepared for cotton in corn
There has been more lani prepared for
cotton on the Ridge this year than last
Nsarly every talner made enough corn 20 do
him this year, and let ME say /, my brother
farmers, pIaut enough corn this year to do
You next, even if you havo to plant corn in
some Of the land you have prepared for cotton.
The calculation now is that there will bo nine
or ten million bales made this yelp. Ifthat be
true the price will be lowor next fall than it
is now; and If We can get the same amount
of money for seven million bales that we
can get for ten, why do we want TO make
the three nil son tales extra,
brother kslli1nc:inen, stick 10 the rCsolu
tons you have unanimously passed, to plant
less cotton.
Some time ag,, about 8 o clock at night,
Mr.. III. S. Porter discovered his corn crib
on fire, but with til ely aid it was cxiiu-
guishcd and did not do much damage. Mr.
Porter says that he cannot account for the
fire.
Last Thursday night, about dark. fire was
discovered in an outhouse belonging to GA
dy Moore, co!ored, and before aid could

way it could not be stopped. Moore los, 10
bushels Of corn and about - bushels of
cotton seed n. 5. Bentley lost three hum
drcd bundles OF fodder, and property belong

Moore is II hard working, honest negro.
The fro is thought to have been the work of
an incenliary.
Lest Sunday evening, about sunset, near
the residence of \. G: Benily, fire was dis
covered in broomsedgc field. The alarm
was given and the neighbors gathered and
stopped the FIRE before it did much damage
Soon after the fire was stopped, Mr.. BcntIy

very 6no brick clay.
e force Of hands Ct work on the sxcs.
vation for the foundstisn are making fne
progress.
President Duncan is pushing matters with
his usual energy. The emily trouble he fuds
Is q lack Of hands. Did you ever hear b..
fore Of the scarcity Of hands in Uni,n
Heretofore, one could find as many bands as
he wanted loa6ng on the corners and holding
dry goods boxes down on Main street.
Mr.. Sharkey is showing matters on "Fac
tory Hill" Already he has nearly half

that by the first Of June he will have all the

two stories, with three rooms on each floor.
