n Why does Georgia boast

while Arkansas has only two
dr three? Why does North

there any good reason why
arkansas should not have

population, as many mills as
North Carolina or Georgia?
WE raise an immense crop of
cotton every year, 100000 to
800, 600 bales, but we send
it abroad to manufacture.

1t is easy to ask questions,
oftlmes hard to answer.
We venture an opinion. The
main reason we have so few
cotton factories, is because
of ? lack of enterprise. Our
..-onh~d. men are entirely too
slow ald "pokey" afraid to
venture into new factories.
A North Carolina town of
only a few hundred inhabi-
tants, built it's first cotton

Sacred words are joined
to popular ballads and the
combination is called sacred
music, Nothing could be
farther from the truth.
These melodies are inspired
by other thoughts and feel

They lack the spirit of
worship, Possibly one may
be able to forget the tune
and think only of the sacred
words.
But even as you sing or
listen do you not hear the

words along with the new?

ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE.
The Trusty Pistol Of Sheriff
Sammons Prevents Pris-
onerS from Gaining
Their Liberty.

Frank James and William
Strickland, colored, arrested
here about two weeks ago for
burglarizing w. j. Redd q
Sons store, recently made a
confession to Sheriff Sammons
to the effect that they had
stolen goods from the store
of Dunnavant & Williams,
Clinton, KY, and that said
stolen goods were secreted in
Jackson. They promised if
carried to Jackson to locate
these goods.
Sheriff Summons commu-
nicated with the sheriff of
Hickman County, of which
Clinton is the county site,
and gave him the benefit of
the information he had re-
ceived.
1t proved to be true and a
reply came in the person OF
Mr.. Dunnavant, one Of the
members of the firm of Dun
navant e Williams, who,
with Sheriff Summons, carried
the thieves to Jackson Satur-
day to locate the goods.
About 1880 worth of "a
zors, knives, jewelry, silver
wear, shoes and dry goods,
taken from the above named
firm, were recovered from
different places in Jackson
and turned over to the right
full owners.
Sheriff Sam mons returned
on the evening train with his
prisoners, arriving at Bolivar
safely, but while marching
them, handcuffed together,
from the depot to the Jail,
when within a short distance
of the latter plac, they made
an effort to escape by running.
They were ordered to halt by
Sheriff Sammons. They re-
fused to obey the command, by
quickening their pace. The
Sheriff then drew his pistol
and fired three shots at the
ieet-footed fugitives, then
far in advance. One of the
shots took effect in the lower
part of the right leg of Frank
James. He fell to the ground
and dragged his handcuffed
partner with him. James
wound is not considered dan
gerous. 1t was dressed by
DR.. II. E. Moore, our County
Jail Physician.
