man. and our old friend. was in the city Wednesday in the interest of the Nashville Exposition. and especially of Arkansas Day. September IS. when he hopss to see ,000 of the good peo- pie of this great stale congregated upon the grounds. He says he thinks a 8 railroad rate will be secured, and if so. it will be within the reach of neatly all the people.
 Judge II. N. Hutton. the good and just judge of our Circuit Court. arrived duly and convened, and organized for, the fall term. His numerous friends, ourselves among the number, have been glad to see his familiar figure and enjoy u moment or two of his pleasant society, for it is known of the Judge that besides being highly versed in the law. and other serious and complex matters of everyday life, he is also no spring chicken when it comes to good yarr.
 I. X. Grimes. of Goodwin. was in the city Tuesday and gave us a pleas ant call. He says that he believes there are better crops OH the west side of l. 'Anguille than on this. Also that a goodly number of farmers. white and black, are going to sow N heat this fall. Quite number of farmers have tX- pressed approval of tie many items recently appearing in TIE TIMES anent this industry, andfrOn what We can gather. there is no doubt that wheat would be grown on large scale if the farmers could be assured that they could get thraShing machine and place to have the wheat made into flour.
 | "A great deal has been said. and written. too. about the crime Gf Ca. Morgan the slayer of old mau Griggs. at Colt. recently We had supposed | from the activity of the sheriff in cap. turing Morgan, and from the many conversations had with citizens who to all appearances seemed to detail the | facts, that he was n cold hlooded mur- derer. Alas, how the mountain grows from mole hill. as such things pass from lip to lip. The grand jury after thoroughly Investigating the case found that Grigg's own dying statement was sufficient evidence to prove that Gap. Morgan was justified in slashing old man Griggs to death. This being true they justly refused to indict Morgan,
 Prof. Hal Dennis was pleasant vis- itor to this office Saturday. He came in especially to express his approval of what We have recently written about wheat prowirg He says there are two things this country greatly needs: good fence law. making 3 wire fence a lawful one. and raising our own four. He is eminently correct. The people of this country spend almost as much annually to fence against the festive | t,.. much bad feeling is engenderel be twe"n eishbors by the depredations of swine Prof. Dennis suggests that farmers meet in the various townships and formulate and carry out some practical plan of cooperation whereby they may be enabled to raise wheat anu save the enormous sums of money annually spent with outsiders for breadstuffS which can be raised right here so prolitably. TIE TINES wants to hear from others of it's farmer friends along this line.
 One day this week, says an exchange, while in conversation with one of our business men, a boy, whose age is about l5. passed by. and the business man noticing him. remarked. that's a bright boy. l am watching hlm. If he gets through another year or so without contracting any of the bad habits SD prevalent among the l6.year- old boys in town. know he will get the otfe! of a mighty good position. v Now If that hey only knew what was Tn store for him, of course he would try to obtain it. liut this is so Of every boy in town. There me plenty of places for all of them, and the business men want them. but they don't want the common variety of load mouthed impudent. cigarette-smoking. crap shooting youngsters. and 1t should be the pleasure of every parent to impress this fact upon the minds of boys. Busi- ness men employ boys who respect their elders. and the sahctity 0f other per | sons premises. and conduct themselves in gentlemanly way under all cir cnmstances. And this should be the highest aim of every boy who hopes to reach prosperous condition in life atd become good aud useful citizen. -~ >------
