SHORT Welded LIFE.

Mrs. A. Maxvill Files Suit for Divorce in
Chancery Court.
Last Friday Mrs. Mary Maxvill, a
bride of less than two weeks, filed a
bill in Lhe Chancery Court at this
place, praying for absolute divorce
from her husband, AdOlph Maxvill.
The bill sets forth that complain
ant, who was formerly Mrs. Mary
Feldman, was married to defendant
in New York on Sunday, August 90,
1898; that they afterwards came to
Columbia, and lived together until
the morning of Thursday, Sept. g.,
when complainant left the home of
defendant and engaged lodging at
the Bethel Hotel. The bill con-
tains series of charges of cruel
and inhuman treatmant, some of
which are too, revolving for publica-
ton. Among the minor charges,
the bill asserts that complainant
brought with her to Columbia sever
al trunks containing a lot of person
al effects and $3.50 in cash, which
she had managed to save from her
earnings while working for eleven
years as dressmaker in New York :;
and she charges that defendant took
these effects and refused to give
them back to her, and tried to make
her think that the money had gotten
lost. 1t is also charged that upon
one occasion he threatened to kill
her because she would not acquiesce
to his brutal desires. Complainant
states that she would rather suffer
death than return to defendant,
prays for an absolute divorce from
him and asks that her personal eff
fects be restored to her.
Proceedings were instituted to re-
cover Der property, and Deputy
Sheriff John Latta succeeded in get
ting everything except the money,
which MaXvill says he knows moth
ing about. Her wearing apparel
and jewelry were restored to her,
while the bed clothes, trunks, etc
are being held by the officers tn
await disposition by the court. Mrs.
MaXvill has returned TO her home in
New York.

The Farmer Boy.

Some folks say the farmer boy has a happy time, always fat and saucy and so very kind. Some may believe it and say it is all true, but just let me tell you what he has to do. He rises early in the morning to be up with the sun, and gets a move on, he knows what's to be done. Then he feeds the horse, the sheep and the COW, and the geese, and chickens, the pigs and the old sow. Then he turns the grindstone to sharpen up the tools and next is 10 harness them stubborn, g-eared mules. This is one thing he hates, you may take it as a rule, to feed and water long-eared kicking mule. Then to the pasture with the herd of sheep, and on that old buck keen eye he must keep, for if he plays with the lambs, and is moment too late, that old buck will butt him clear through the gate. So you see the farm boy don't see such funny time with that unruly gander hanging on behind, and the gander turns him loose what then-then that darned old sitting hen. LUKE

Plant Fruit Trees.

Will it pay me to plant fruit trees? This is an important question for Ar kansas farmers and one that depends greatly on circumstances. If you have land that is adapted to fruit growing as most of the dry land in Western Arkansas is-and will use good judge ment in the selection of your trees, aud in planting and cultivating them. there is bright prospects for your sue cess Missouris apple crop in 1897 is estimated at twenty million dollars, Northwest Arkansas apple growers sold their apples at the orchards for remunerative prices and now have thousands uf dollars in the banks, the proceeds of their 1s9T crop of apples.
 Iris true, we need not expect such prices every year, but there is occasion ally year when the crop East fails as in 1893 and 1897 and such years our apples bring high prices. There IS also an increasing demand for apples for export. so we need have no fears of glutting the market One acre of land will hold sixty trees, thirty feet apart, at ten years Of age, and with

COTTON TEN CENTS A POUND.
For the First Time in Ten Years, the Fleecy Staple Sells at this
 Price

It was the first bale ginned and sold from the crop grown by Mir Thomas A Jackson, and was of the Jackson i'm bless variety.
 When it was thrown off in front of the ware house on the corner of West Hunter and Forsyth streets, the cot ton men standing around made lively dive for it and began to pull out sam ples None of them had ever seen anything like it. and when they would jerk out sample they would feel of it and comment on it's wool like softness and springiness In fact, so fine and soft and silky is the tibre of the lint that a blind man can tell a sample of it from the ordinary cot ton simply by the feeling, It feels, to the touch. more like fine lamb wool than like cotton, and no sample of sea island cotton ever grown pos sesses the same beauty, strength and general appearance of this wonderful exotic from equatorial Africa, which has been u ans planted to the old red hills of Georgia
 .sThe stalks range from eight to nine feet in height, some of them going as high as ten and eleven, and it is stiIl green from top to bottom. except where the fruit leaves have dropped off after the bolls had opened, as is the habit of the cotton.
 "To-oay while common middling cotton was selling at abonS cents pound, cotton from this bale brought 10 cents, which is fair H asttrltion of it's immense value to the South. ''-At- ianta Evening Journal.
 1t also indicates that Mr. Jackson's crop will reach three bales Or more to the acre, notwithstanding the long drouth which has injured the top crop
