More than so years ago Lachlan Nc
Donald left his home in Strathspey,
Scotland, and went to the shores of
Lake Winnipeg. He did not neglect to
carry with him his beloved bagpipe,
and many an evening it spoke to him
of the old home hey ond the seas. Even
in the daytime, when he was busy in the
woods telling trees, he would have it
by his side. and on one occasion he had
reason to be glad that it was so near.
He was merrily swinging his ak, when
he was suddenly surrounded by party
of Indians, who looked very formid-
able as they drew nearer, gesticulat.
ing In particularly threatening man
ner. Things began to seem om,nous,
when happy thought came to the
Scotchman. Selling his bagpipe, he
blew a blast so loud and long and shrill
that the startled red men looked upon
him for a moment in CONSERVATION, and
then took to their heels, never stopping
till the thick shadows of the forest hid
them from the man who could give
vent to such an unearthly scream.
They did not forget that prolonged cry;
from that time the Scotchman was
known among them as the great
screamer of the pale faces."-Youths

up in Two lines in the hall, ten men serv-
ants on one side, ten maid servants on
the other, all smiling and ready for the
expected tip. Then he drew out his
package and distributed the candles,

said, with bow; permit me, madam.

put at last, when worn and weary. and we
slacken In our pace,
We are prone to turn us Eastward each
with wistful. yearning face.
For a nameless pathos hovers o'er the re-
gion of No More.
As the short st. Martins summer hangs
about lonely shore.
No exception to the yearning. to the pa ST
my fancies fly
When my love and I were sweethearts IN
the summer times gone by.
In the homely little parior what to us was
cause for fears,
Since we lived each for the other-as we
thought, in those dear years?
All the world to US was bounded by the
wooded hills that far
Reached their pompadoured heads upward
as to kiss some tender star.
Then no serpent came to tempt us. and no
thought of flaming sword
That would guard us from our garden and
the ways that we adored;
Ard constant JOY was in us In the hopes
that flashed up high,
When my love and 1 were sweethearts In
the summer times gone by.
Vain ambition, seeing treasure where some
mystic rainbow bends,
Tramples roses as the thistles growing
where his footsteps tends!
When we'd journey back we notice years
that, standing grim and gray.
Keep guard for aye and ever on the gates
of yesterday;
But in thought at least we pass them, and

Trusting that to-day her bosom is as free
from sob and sigh
As when she and were sweethearts In the

bad manners and his natural ability for
doing the unfortunate thing On every
occasion.
We'll, I'd rather-see you than Jim,"
he said, and then he realized that this
was an impertinent declaration instead
of a graceful excuse. Fortunately she
was not offended.
''Wcll. that's nice of you TO say that.
You ought to like me better than YOU
do Jim. for he ased to say the most
dreadful things about you. He said
you hated girls and never went out any,

his earnestness had carried him beyond
bounds again. But the adorable crea-
ture was as forbearing as she was in

an added pressure on his arm as she
said:
We'll, whether that's true or not, the
ones you sent me were the most beau

She looked up at him, and Swinger
again lost the power of speech and all
the stars that were out seemed to whirl

ing Monday, July 4, 1898:
General Remarks.
Warm, dry weather has enabled
farmers to push forward field work
and as result cotton is clean except
in spots. Early corn is laid by except
in northern counties. Wheat and oats
stacking and thrashing has progressed
favorably and an abundance of hay has
been saved in good condition.
Such rain as occurred fell in local
showers, generally light but heavy
enough in places, especially in the
southwest section, to delay farm work
Where rain occurred it was of material
benefit to growing crops.
Growing crops over the entire state
are in fiourishing condition, though
they are now commencing to need
rain.
Is growing rapidly and fruiting
well. AS general thing the crop is
well cultivated though in limited areas
in the low lands it is grassy. The re-
cent warm, dry weather has enabled
farmers to push forward the cleaning
of cotton until the crop is fully as far
advanced as in previous years. In
some localities the extremely rapid
growth of the plant has interfered to
some extent with its fruiting.
Corn.
Reports indicate that this crop con-
tinues to do WELL North of the Arkan-
sas river is in various stages Of advance
ment, from few inches high in the
low lands to full silk and tassel, and
we'll cared in the more southern coun-
ties. Rain would be very beneficial.
Wheat.
All wheat harvested and being
thrashed; the yield is fine, both assto
quality and quantity. The weather
has been favorable for stacking.
Harvest completed except in few
localities. The grain either stacked or
housed, and being thrashed. The
yield will be good average.
Minor Crops.
Favorable weather has enabled farm
ers to save an abundance of hay in
good condition. Gardens and the range
need rain. Sorghum is doing very well.
Cow peas and millet fine. Melons
ripening very slowly Some reports
OF peaches rotting on trees in the north
west section. T.. b. RICHARDS,

OF our free common school system therefore
we as a body recommend such legislation as
snail abolish the present system Of districts
ana establish In Its stead districts that shall in
territory be co-extensive with the boundaries
OF the civil townships OF the state and that the
committee on legislation OF this body be re-
quested to urge on the incoming legislature the
necessity Of the change indicated above"
resolution was also adopted request
ing the enactment of law authorizing
the superintendent of public instruc.
tion to appoint eight instructors to con-
duct six weeks normal school in four
suitable places in the state each year,
and that an appropriation of So, 400 be
made for paying the instructors and
expenses OF conducting the schools.

A special to the Gazette from Rison
states that Goode Gray, colored, was
taken from the Jail at that place by
mob at an early hour on the morning

erick, who was pumper on the Cotton
Belt road at Moro tank. Last April,

rest. Gray did not deny that the watch
belonged to Frederick, but claimed that
it was given to him by q negro named
Cone, who committed the murder.
