STILL AT THE FRONT.

Strangers coming to Shreveport
scarcely ever fail. in passing down
Texas street, to pause in front of the
Southern Hardware Company store,
to note and comment on the busy ac-
tivity which seems to be always GO
ing on there. 1t is no rare thing to
see groups of visitors standing around
and inquiring of citizens why this es-
tablishment was doing so much more
business than others in the same line
of trade. To this query always
comes, of course, the reply, Because
it sells so much cheaper than its COM
petitors." While our townsmen do
not care to express opinions in mat
ters Of business between rival estab-
lIshments, the duty they owe to
strangers forces them to give courte-
ous replies to questions, and truth
forces them to say this.
The Southern Hardware Company
is becoming one of the best known
business houses in the Southwest.
Its name is coupled with enterprise,
energy and success, and its reputa-
ton for handling good goods is cred
liable to Shreveport, as well as them
selves.

RAILROAD NEWS.
INDICATIONS ARt VERY ENCOUR-
AGING.
Shire, Has ~ Very Bright Tuiur,
Before HCr.

Before Hcr.
For some weeks past we have been
waiting to learn the developments of
railroad news. There are two rail
roads knocking at Shreveport's door
for admission. A committee OF her
leading and most influential citizens,
representing all the different inter
ests, to the number of fifteen, had
been appointed. They have been
quietly working, and feeling their
way carefully, that no mistakes
should be made While the dear
people have been impatiently wait
ing, expectation sits upon the air"
and as no news, according to the old
saw, is good news, we have hoped
that their report would be favorable
The committee held a meeting yes
terday with Mr., +. B. Hubbell, who
is third vice-president and general
traffic manager of the Texarkana,
Fort Smith railway.
There is nothing to be made publlc
yet in regard to the action of the
conference, yet enough has been done
to assure the public that we will get
the road. The builders OF the road
are anxious to come to Shreveport,
and the committee said to Mr. Hub
bell that it was eIually mutual on
the part of the citizens of Shreveport
that they should come. We're we at
liberty to give the public the infor-
nation that warrants us in saying
that we will get the road, they would
readily agree with us. But we must
refrain for the present and ask you
to be Just little patient for few
days longer, and we are almost GER
tain that we can give you glorious
news that will cheer up the most de
spending hearts in our midst. We
have every assurance that the NJ, X
& L. will come, as reliable news
comes to rs through the post dis
patches that the company has filed
its charter at Austin Tex, composed
of the following gentlemen: IL. A
Poor, Francis Hyde, New York and

IMPROVED AGRICULTURAL IMrLI-
MENTS

TO the consideration of the farmers Of
North Louisiana than improved ag-
ricultural impliments. Not only
from an economic standpoint, SO far
as employment of labor, but it should
be considered from an intelligent
standpoint. in the matter of increased
production; bringing the farmer to
higher plane in his calling.
1t was said by some wise meu that
he who was ablo to produce two
blades Of grass whore one formerly
grew, was a public benelactor
Let MS see what can be done 10y
improved impliments. Under the
old one horse barshear plan of farm
ing. As this is the time when the
farmer is bedding mp and getting
ready to plant corn, we will address
ourselves to the matter Of corn rails
ing.
Instead of your conliniug yourself
to the old Kelly plow. and continuing
in the old fogie ruts of long ago Just
purchase one Of the different makes
of corn cultivators.
We want it distinctly understood
that we are not interested one pen
nysvorth in any agricultural bust
ness, or any enterprise connected in
any way with the sale of impliments.
But for the good of the farmer and
an increased production. We know
whereof we speak We know that
any North Louisiana farmer can cul-
/ tivate two acres where he has hereto
fore cultivated one, with more ease
and better satisfactisfactlon than he
has ever before.
These plows can be so adjusted as
to bed up and split out middles at
the same time 1t leaves your land
a in much better condition TO plant or
SOW any other crop which you might
wish to follow with.
1t is astonishing to the writer, who
was raised on Northwestern farm,
where the improved impliments have
for years been in use, and have noted
the rapid advance in the agricultural
interest of the country. This is why
the farmers Of the Northwest have
been able to furnish the farmers OF
North Louisiana with corn
and corn meal for these many years
It has been a matter of great graft
iication to the writer of this to sec
the interest that one of DeSoto's most
progressive farmers is taking in this
matter of improved impliments
We refer to Col. Chas. Schuler, who
has not only recommended then
from observation, but has done Sc
from actual experience. He ha'
three or four different makes, anC
says with one of these tends from A
to 60 acres of corn.
Think of this farmers, of Nortl
Louisiana, while you are working
with an inch of your life tending II
or 20 acres, you can with the sam'
; amount of labor take care of three
times the amount.
Do not be afraid that you canno
use them on your rough and stump!
lands. They are made with the view
, of all objections which you can raise
and we urge the farmers to try il
every way possible to get out of th'
b old rut into more intelligent plal
of farming. Should you do this yoI
| will not depend any longer on tn
, idle, shiftless negro, but will be S
pleased that you will stand side b.
,, side with the farmers of the North
west in point of intelligent farming
5 and be far more independent.
We hope to hear from some OF on
intelligent and progressive farmer
on this subject.

THE EXPERIMENTAL FARM
AT CALHOUN HOLDS ITS REGU-
LAR MEETING.

r,sr,u1,ugr Of TIL, prprrps-


special Correspondence Of The Progress,
We paid visit to the Experimental
Farm on Thursday, 23d, this being
the day for the regular meeting.
There were matters of interest to bc
discussed at this meeting, and we
felt anxious TO be present. The so
cipty was called to order 10y the presi-
dent, Col. Sollus. Tho secretary read
the minutes of the preceding meet
ing. The subject, for discussion
were:
I. Is the fence law desirable for
North Louisiana
2. The holding of farmers camp
meeting at some time during the
conf z summer
y re had been committee, com
pos i of ono member from each Of
tn, North Louisiana parishes, to re-
port at this meeting, as to the feeling
of the people in their respective par
ishes in regard to the holding of a
three days camp meeting, and the
secretary called the committee hy
parishes and the report was favorable,
though many had not been able to
see and talk with the farmers of their
respective communities, but felt no
hesitancy i'll saying that there won ld
be no objection and would meet with
a hearty encouragement, provided the
most suitable time was appointed for
the holding Of same. After some dis
cussion, it was unanimously agreed
that the association hold their camp
meeting beginning on Wednesday
before the last Thursday in'August,
and hold three days. 1t is under
stood that those who intended com
ing prepared to have a general old
fashioned camp meeting, for the pur-
pose of discussing agriculture in all
its phases.
Bring your tents and provisions and
have a general good time.
Col. Schuler's motion was that a
committee be appointed to take the
matter in hand with power to form
ulate their own plans, which was car
ried. In the short space of time and
hurry to get back to the train, we
failed to get the names of the COM
mite.
There was much discussion pro and
con on the fence question, in the dis
course of which many good natured
thrusts were given and received.
Among them was Brother Griffin of
Ouachita, who, though largely inter
ested in stock rassing, preferred to let
his hogs go, though he seems to have
more hogs than anybody. He says
with great emphasis that there is no
use to talk about fencing against the
COW, for the Cow aint i'll it,"
The afternoon meeting was sh 'rt
one, as many were compelled to take
the train. The next subject for dis
cussion was that North Louisiana
should have better roads, and can she
get them?
Maj. Lee and his charming wife dc
all in their power to entertain "
farmers, an his assistants take grea
pleasure in giving what eyer inform
alton that may be desired. The farm
looks beautiful and is nicely arrang
ed. Everywhere we looked showeC

DAsTARDLY CRIME
c. p. Hutchins, Married Man, Charged
With Rape.
A Seventeen Old Girl, Daughter of L. j.
Brown, the victim-The Charge
Stoutly Denied.

G. P. Hutchins respectable looking
married man aged 40, whese occupation
is a machinest and employed at Mason's
Lumber yard, was arrested yesterday
forenoon on the charge of raping little
z year-old girl. Hutchins was arrested
on the complaint of L. j. Brown of Fol
som Avenue, father of the child. The
offense was alleged to have been COM
mitted on Friday evening and the arrest
was made on Saturday about noon. The
accused was taken before Justice Gee and
pleaded not guilty. The case was con-
tinued until Monday morning and the
bond fixed at 1000 which was given late
last evening and the prisoner was re-
leased.
There Is considerable mystery about the
matter, as soon after the arrest DR.. Mea-
cham went to the residence nf Mr.. Brown
and made an examination of the child and
reported that there were no signs of vio-
lence or outrage having been committed
on the person OF the girl. 1t is also
alleged that Hutchins was at home all
Friday evening and he bears good char
acter. Yet the child, who is q bright
little miss, alleges that Hutchins COM
mitted the crime
The matter will be sifted before Judge
Gee tomorrow morning.
