arrest, which occurred at a public

John c. Wilkes died at lH
home near Pinovilie October ta.
22nd., 1891, al Che age Of eisu,y
years.
He was born in the state Of
Tonnosaoo in 1917 and came to
Arkaugas early in 1850. On
October rs, 1897, he was mar
ried to Miss Mary a. Henson.
After her death he was married
to Miss Lucrecia Mooker in 1863.
To these two unions twenty
three children were born. At
his death he had living over one
hundred and fifty children,
grandchildren and great grand
children.
He was a kind and indulgent
father and husband, and an up
right neighbor and citizen. In
1888 he embraced religion and
Joined the Methodist Episcopal
Church. From tha5 hour to the
day Of his death he cherished a
sweet christian experience, and
in his last hour he realized that
the Lord was with him. To his
home the ministers Of Christ
were always welcome, and Of
his store of this worlds goods
he gave literally to the cause
Of the Master.
He was buried at Mt. Carmal
oometary, accompanied to his
last resting place by large
ooncour5e Of relatives a n d
friends.
To his wife and children the
entire community extends their
sympathy. "Unclo john, as he
was commonly called, was a
guide and stay to all, and we too
are deprived of a faithful coun-
5alor and friend, and while we
can no more see him in this life,
yet his deeds viii still live to
guide and bless us. And now
as he is gone whore no more
trials shall trouble him, let his
reward be our highest aim. In
q few more years and we will
bo called to answer the same
messenger he obeyed, SO let US
follow Christ as he followed Him,
so in that day and hour we will
all meet clothed in the righteous
ness Of Him who died that we
might live. Then our tears
shall DO dried and the joys of an
eternal home will be ours for
eyor.-A Noar8Friend.

THE WELL-BRED MAN.

Every well-bred man l ever knew
had only one school of manners. The
business world, the political world, are
the fields where good breeding is
tested. Sex does not enter into the
question of human activity. What eff
feet it does have is usually toward i'm
proving mems manners and morals
In business offices where there are
women employees the men are always
heater in appearance, more courteous
is their address, and more dignified in
their language, than in those where
the personnel is exclusively masculine,
Every sensible woman knows perfectly
we'll that the average man is very far
from the ideal He is gentlemanly
but he is not gentleman. He is a
good fellow, but not a good man. He
tries to be better than he really is,
but he is not bothered by too much
success. The genuine gentleman,
calm and serene, polite to all, is only
found once in ten times The other
nine range from this high level to that
Of the boor. Yet progress is always
making, and within my own exper-
fence l have noticed perceptible
change for the better.-Demorest S
Magazine.

EXPLAINING A MIRACLE.

A man asked an Irish priest what
a miracle was. He gave him a full
explanation which did not satisfy the
man, who said: Nov, won't your
reverence give me an example of a
miracle?"
WELL" said the priest, "Step before
me and I'll see what I can do
AS the man did so he gave him a
tremendous kick behind.
Did you feel that?" he asked
''Begorra, did feel it, sure enough
WELL" said the priest, 'it would
be miracle if you didn't. Boston

A western exchange says that a
practical revivalist requested all in
the congregation who paid their DEBTS
to rise. The rising was general. After
they had taken their seats, call was
made for those who didn't pay their
debts, and one solitary individual
arose, who explained that he was an
editor, and could not because the rest
of the congregation were owing him
their subscriptions.

Theodore Havemeyer has recently i'm

An extension has been erected on this
side to the main building so as to cover
the lot.
The building was formerly the farm
house of Aaron Burr, and was located
on the top of Richmond Hill, through
which Varick street was cut. When
these streets were laid out, the oit
farmhouse was brought down to the
road, which is now Hudson street, and
placed on a vacant lot, then and now
at the corner OF Charlton street. OPP
posite to it was placed another frame
house, which had been removed after
the great fires of 1885 and 1916, from
Chambers street, where it was known
as the "Old Brown Jug" This re
moval had been caused by the extern
sion of the fire limits in the lower
portion Of the city. A few years ago
the "Old Brown jug" building was con-
demned and torn down. In it's place
a brick structure has been erected.
But, SO far, the old Burr house has
be en- spared, for, although it is out OF
plumb, the building was so strongly
constructed that there is little danger
of its falling.
For many years the old house was
occupied by an old-time "leather-head
watchman," who, after his retirement
from that service, employed his time
in making leather travelling trunks
which he sold on this corner, occupy
ing the upper floors with his family
At his death, a few years ago, the
family, like many of those who form
: erly resided in Green witch village,
removed to the upper part of the city.
and the building has ceased to be in
habited by one family.

H0rticu tural Notes.

The land for the sugar beet should
be ploWed in the fall, and after plCw-
ing, unless the land is very rich, ap-
ply plenty of Well-rotted manure.
The potato blight is On the increase.
Bordeaux mixture for blight and paris
green for bugs will have to be kept in
stock by the potato grower.
1t is not much trouble or expense to
construct a hotkCrse for forcing early
vegetables or growing vegetables in
winter. The farmer can do this.
The apple grower who does not re-
gard the apple as he would any other
crop, and furnish the trees with food,
as he does other crops, will not sue
coed.
II the farmer would go at the work
Of producing early vegetables, he
could laugh at the low prices for
grain, if they should continue. Early
vegetables always pay.
If fruit trees grow too rapidly they
will not bear well. The force goes
into the wood. When young trees
grow too rapidly, it is a good plan to
put the orchard in grass. This will
check the growth.
If house plants become frozen,
darken the room and sprinkle with
water from the well, with a few drops
of spirits of camphor in it. Keep the
temperature at As degrees for "a
hours.-Western Plowman.

Notes for Shepherds.

1t is predicted that in the near fu-
ture there will be nearly as much
mutton as beef consumed in this
country Then the sheep business
will be on a more substantial basis.
1t is cheaper and better to get the
struggling stumps and stones out of
the fields than to attempt to work
around them with a reaper, mower,
1ultivator or harrow. Many valuable
implements are annually injured
needlessly from stumps or stones.
There is room for sheep on every
farm, and they may be pastured with
the cattle to very good advantage. II
not pastured too closely, the pasture
will be the better by the sheep being
there.
There are a good many sheep that
would eat more than they do If they
had a chance. Dry air is fine thing,
but they cannot subsist on 1t alone
for any length of time. In connection
with suitable rations, it performs an
important part in the management of
sheep, however.
The Southdown eve is on a par with
the Berkshire SOW and the Shorthorn
COW, which are never condemned.
though often not preferred, especially
by breeders and dealers that are
obliged to cater to large trade of
varied tastes, especially TO the present
cravings in America for bigness in
everything.
Talk of abandoning sheep should
not be listened to. This country can
no more discard the sheep from its
agriculture than it can omit the COW
or the pig, and those pessimists who
are preparing requiems to the passing
of our flocks may as we'll "hang theil
harps on the willows and devote
their energies to some more exaItine
theme. Sheep are here and here tt
