 While at Mena recently we met our worthy county examiner, W. M. Pip kin. He is full of educational inter est and is striving to awaken an interest in the people of Polk county in regard to education which should meet the approval and hearty cooper ation of every body in the county.
 The people in some parts of Arkan- sas seem to think that Polk county is peopled principally with ignoramuses, which is mistake. Yet we do not make as good use of our educational facilities as we ought. Let us avail ourselves of every opportunity offered to better our condition. Let our watch-word be s.onward and upward We are not respo nsible for being in this world but we are responsible for the good we might do but fail to do while here.

 Speaking of strange and sad occur rences, none could be more remarkable than the death and burial of Charles Carter, well known farmer residing near Russell. He was cleaning out an old we'll when the quicksand suddenly caved in on him, leaving only his head and chest exposed. When the alarm was gwen hundreds of people assem- bled and went heroically to work to save their neighbor IL was found that nothing could be done toward remov- ing the sand about Carter's body, so a parallel well was dug and tunnel run from it into the old we'll, but even then the body could not be removed, so closely was it grasped by the sands. It was found that a rope attached below Carter's arms would pull the body into parts without withdrawing it's covered portion, and that method had to be abandoned. Carter was conscious and talked to his rescuers, but at the end of fifty-eight hours he died. By this time an enormous crowd had gathered, and all sorts of plans were suggested for recovering the body but finally it was decided to make the well the dead mans tomp, and it was filled up after religious services had been held upon its brink. The we'll was forty eight feet deep, and perhaps no other Kansan ever found quite so strange a burial place.
