JUST A LITTLE SMART.
How Wholesale Merchant Got Caught iu
 His own Game.

A good story is going the rounds on "sound money" merchant of this city In brief, it is about as fol- lows:
 Some weeks ago q merchant, whose customers are principally far mers, ordered a large consignment of osnaburgs. Tbe wholesale mer- chant from whom the goods were bought WAS an advocate of 'sound money,' and he knew that his Pine Bluff customer also held the same views on the financial question that he did; therefore, in order to give the cause of "sound money" a little ad- vertising and at the same time please, as he thought, the Pine Bluff merchant, the wholesale dealer had the words "Sound Money" printed ill large letters on each bolt of the osnaburgs and shipped here. When the goods arrived and were opened for inspection the brand at once caught the eye of the retail merchant and quick as flash he realized that the goods with that brand on them would never be popular with his trade, and as he had not ordered the goods so branded and saw d chance for a big reduction in the price of the goods on account of the smart ness" of the wholesale dealer, he at once wrote the wholesale house that the goods were here subject to order; that on account of the sound money" brand he refused to accept them. A long correspondence ensued and the wholesale dealer was forced to make heavy reduction ill the price of the gooos, owing to the fact that tke retail merchant claimed that to sell the osnaburgs he would have to cut off and lose that part on each bolt marked "sound money"
 The lesson given the wholesale dealer was well deserved and will teach him not to be so "smart" in future.

 Yesterday afternoon the Main street Methodist church was q scene of beauty. the occasion being the joining in the holy and sacred bonds of matrimoDy two of our most prominent and well-beloved young people. Mir. Frederick M Hudson and Miss Nora B. Andrews.
 Long before the appointed time, 4:30, the tastefully decorated church filled to it's utmost capacity with admiring friends and relatives of the contracting parties. Miss Mai Hudson presided at the organ, and to the enchanting strains of Mendels- sohn's Wedding March the party entered as follows, Messrs. Jo Nichol, Harry Bradford, Fl Reno, Ark; Walter N. Trulock, Arthur w. Mills, Dr. J. H. Smart, Dallas, Tex, and John l.. Mills, followed by the bride and groom. Revs. J k. Cason per formed the ceremony, after which the party retired from the church and were driven to the home of the brides parents. 1t was expected that the happy couple would leave at once after the cere- mony on bridal trip, but owing to the long continued illness of the groom it was deferred for a few days.
 The bride is a daughter of Dr. and Mrs. D. $. Mills, and was reared in this city. She is young lady of rare virtues of head and heart and is a musician of great ability, having completed her musical education at the New England Conservatory of Music.

The play last night at the opera house was attended by a larger crowd than it deserved. The play in itself was very good, but some of the characters were evidently not at themselves. James NJ. Morton took the part of Ramsey SnafH e and was one of the strongest characters in the company. Lizzie Evans as Flor ida Bascom was quite disappoint- ment to the audience and failed to elicit the least applause or enthusi- asm. Mcintyre and Heath were very good, keeping the audience roaring every time they made their appearance on the stage. The re- mainder of the company were any thing but good.

seThe Other Mans Wifo.,


 Every one who has seen the clever comedy work of Bert Goote in "The New Boy" will be pleased to have an opportunity of seeing him in a new play at the opera house on Fri day, October 30th, entitled "The Other Man's Wife. {" Associated with him in the production is the well known California comedian. Nick Long. The plot is very amusing. A young man named Oscar Timid (Bert Coote) is afflicted with a stern mother-in-law, who makes life very exciting and pleasant for him. To compliCate matters Oscar makes the acquaintance of a young woman, who becomes infatuated with him. She gets him into such a tangle that it takes the combined company two hours to get him out of his troubles. This furnishes many funny situa- tions and keeps the audience in con- stant laughter from beginning to the end. Nick Long plays the oppo- site character to Mir. Goote, and each is an excellent foil for the other. h the company are Julie Kingsley. Ida lene Cotton, Lillian Dix, Carrie Med lord, Harry c Stanley, Kraft Wal ton, Wallace Henderson, J. ". Gard ner and others.

Vermin-proof Nest.

Having tried plastering hair, I can
recommend its good qualities to all. 1t
can be obtained at any tannery, and
probably of any mason. Its great vir-
tue lies in its being fillod with lime
dust, so that no lice will care to settle
near by. If disturbed, the fine lime
dust will fill the air. and no hens will
attempt to scratch nest out thus made.
For setting hens it is just the thing, be-
ing warm, soft, aud sure preventive
against vermin. Readers, if your fowls

also catch more chickens than regi-

will not only eat chickens, but ambs,

thing that comes in their way The
only way to prevent such habits is to
deprive them of the opportunity to
form them. Watchful care and good
fences are the things to do it with.

care in Milking.

| From our observations we are thor
oughly convinced that too little care is
exercised in milkin G the cows properly
ON the majority of Southern farms. The
writer we'll remembers milking as high
as thirteen cows at one sittiag before
he was eleven years old. and he MIXED
regularly from four to six cows for sew
eral years. Taught as he was that the
aim must be to get all the milk posi-
BILE in the shortest time, the rough,
slow and indifferent method followed
by most mixers in the South strikes
him as rather peculiar, to say theleast.
The cows should be MIXED as nearly
as possible at exactly the same time
each day. The time between the morn
ing and night milking and the mig ht
and morning milking should be as near
equal as possible. The same person
should milk the same cows every time.
Neatness, gentleness and dispatch
should be the actuating principles in
tae work Under no consideration
should the mixer stop after commence
ing to milk COW until the work is
thoroughly finished. not even for the
purpose of emptying milk, as is SO
common. The full hand should be used
as much as possible. The use OF the
thumb and forefnger is more tiresome
to the mixer and slower, hence should
be avoided as much as possible. If the
mixer will accustom himself to it he
will find it much better to milk with
the teats and udder dry. After little
practice by this method the milking is
Just about as easy, much cleaner. and
less likely to result in cracked or chap
ped teats. We are not surprised that
few people like to drink milk if they
have ever seen mixers dip their dirty
fingers into the milk to moisten the
teats or seen the filth drip from the
udder and hands OF the mixer into the
bncket as we have frequently done.
But of all the seuseless and harmful
practices of the Southern mixer it is
that of teaching the COW to require the
presence of her calf before she will give
down her milk.-Southern Farm Ga

The Outlook.

From the present indication the cot
ton crop will be very materially cut
short by drouth, and has already in
some sections been irretrievab)y in
jured. Corn is bound to be short 10
most places from the dronth and the
hay crop the world over is short. The
supply of cotton ON hand is the short.
est for sixteen years. Under all these
conditions it looks like we will get for
our farm products this fall remunera,
tive prices. All this proves that no
man knows the results of agriculture,
no matrer how fourishing the prospects
for abundant yields may be in the
early spring. Don't let this prospect
induce you to indulge IN extravaganza
but rather to hedge for Independence
by adding to last years good results
another year SO az to reach the prom
ise-land of agricultural financial indie
psndence. No farmer will be safe and
right until he can make crop without
going in debt one dollar to do so, but
on the contrary have something to sell
all year until his next crop comes in.
This will solve the financial problem
then it would make thrifty farmer
sick to mention IS to to him.
