 Miss Ethel Pointer has returned from a visit to Searcy and Arm strong springs, glad to see you back Miss Ethel.
 Mrs. c. c. Clatworthy is very sick, her little boy Turner is stay ing with his grandma Mrs. Ward i, until his mother gets better. MT. Dick Miles and wife, of Palmer, attended Preaching at the Baptist church last Sunday and were the guests of Mrs. R. Terry.
 Rev. Patterson has been hold ing a meeting at the Christian church the past week. Itresulted in the addition of several mem- bers to their church. Little Red Riding Hood in last weeks ARGUS said that Mrs. John Turner died of congestion at her home near Turner, we know of only one Mrs. John Turner who lives at Cypert five miles from here, and she is very much alive. We.suppose there is some mistake either in name or place. 1 What Is our country coming to- We tremble when we think now the good name of our fair South land is being tarnished by the murders, lynchings andi similar crimes that are being committed Truly, "The Devil is as roaring lion going about seeking whom he may devour."

 When a preacher gets up in the pulpit and says that the mothers of a community are no better than ssIndian squaws'' he should be cast into the jnngles of Africa, there to roam as an exile the rest of his life. A preacher is a teach ler of Gods laws and should be a Christ-like man in words, in actions and in teaching the great truths of the Holy Bibla. He should do it in a Christ-like way, rot in such all insulting way that would cause the Devil to frown at hlm. When any preacher uses such language, he has forgotten that he had mother and has ceased to be power III the cause of Christ.

Bill Hrp on Bugs.
Criticised Because of his Ignorance of Natural History
But he Likes his Critic

would like to be an Agassiz or Audubon
or Cuvier or Linnacus, or even Huber,
the blind man who taught us all we
know about bees But Lord Bacon said,
"He that hath wife and children hath
given hostages to fortune, for they are
impediments to great enterprises. A
man who marries early and has numer-
Gus and lovely wife and offspring don't
have much time to investigate outside
of home. and so it was never intended
that a family man should devote much
time to bugs and birds and fishes. That
is alright if he is a professor in college
and makes his living by it, but even then
he cannot play horse or bOoger-bear with
his children to any alarming extent And
so a kind providence has wisely Ordain-
ed that only few should be set apart
for invention, discovery and scientific re-
search, while the great majority should
be engaged in multiplying and replen-
ishing. / had fondly hoped that in the
retirement of my old age I would find
abundant time to read and ponder and
philosophiZe upon these things, but
there is no retirement at my house. The
grandchildren are more numerous than
the children and quite as lively and mis-
chievous and it takes half my time to
watch them. Only yesterday two little
girls borrowed some scissors from their
grandma and while I was gone to the
postoffice they got my stamped enve-
lopes from my table and cut them into
imaginary cows and dogs and horses. But
they love me devotedly and follow me
around and pull the flowers and are so
happy that it makes me happy, too, and
/ wouldn't swap their little company for
all the science and learning in the land.
My faith is that if we live right in
this world and lay the foundations of
knowledge we will have plenty or time
to advance in wisdom in the life to
come. Heaven is not sragnant with
beautitudes. The worship OF God will
be mingled with study and maybe with
work and the mysteries of creation will
be opened to us by degrees and fill us
with wonder and delight. But I didn't
intend to write about this. My friend,
Mr.. Johnson, or Professor johnson, /
reckon, is surely mistaken about the
ichneumon fly having eaten out all the
vital parts of the worm and come to
the surface and spun the little white
cocoons. l found scores of these worms
clad in their white cocoon robes, and they
were of various sizes, from an inch to
three inches long. and were pretty lively
corpses. The smaller ones were still
hungry and growing. / found none in
a dying condition. The sharp horn Of
the tail looks like it was a singer, and
seems to be a weapon of defense. Bnt
why should we not destroy them? Do
they not prey upon the vines? And

the law itself gives the magistrate before

invariably make removals to each other.

That doctrine won't even do fer a veg
