HEAVENLY MYSTERY.
Loud and Peculiar Noise Like an Ex-
nIosion Heard 40 Hope.


HOPE, ARK, September 28.-
Special There was a loud and
peculiar noise heard in the heavens
Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock
in this section. 1t was heard in
Hope, Prescott, Nashville Buckner,
New Lewisville and in all the sur
rounding country, 1t sounded like
an explosion, and there was a mist
or smoke noticed in the direction
from which the report seemed to
come. There were two men in
from the country who heard the
noise aud at the same time some
very heavy object fall near them.
The towns named above are such
quiet out-of the-way places that
hlckory-nuts falling of the tree
would jar things up. Here in Tex
arkanna there is to much noise and
hustle, that a small noise of heav
enly body falling in the surrounding
country would not attract bit Of
attention. You have to shoot at a
Texarkauna man to get him to hear
any kind Of sound unless it is about
business.

The sprightly suburban little cit,
of Rose Hill, which is the mauufac-
turing district Of our city, and
which has furnished its part of the
many killings ia West Texarkana,
was again the scene Of a shooting
yesterday afternoon which resulted
in the death of one of the parties
engaged.
Ashford and Coomer worked at
Walkers brick yard Coomer's wife
was Ashford's wife's daughter, and
th4 two men did not get along
smoothly together, as Ashford says
Coomer mistreated his wife, and on
this accout he was brought in o
frequent quarrels with CoomeI, :,
through bis wife taking up for her
d rughter, Yesterday Coomer was
quite severe in abusing his wife.
aud during his abuse threw a pan
o : water on her. Ashford remon-
strated and the men had quarrel
over the matter. When they quit
work yesterday afternoon and went
home, Coomer, it is said, renewed
the quarrel and during the same,
Ashford pulled his pistol and shot
him, the bullet passing through his
bowels.
Coomer did not die until $50
o'clock.
The officers went over aud arrest
ed Ashford and placed him in Jail
Justice H nry will giye,him speedy

sum annually. For one third Of
this sum we could build mill, the
farmers could raise the grain and
the money being kept in the county
all classes of business would feel
the effect.
But this is not all. How much
money do we send out of the state
for bacon and lard? If the farm
ers, by the erection of this mill,
were induced to raise grain, there
would be grain food, both whole
and ground, for hogs. and would be
soon producing all of our bacon and
lard. al, of this money would also
remain at home and thus producers
would have more money to buy
other goods and hence our mer-
chants would be more prosperous.
More clothing, more shoes, grocer
les, harness. etc., would be sold,
more mechanical work needed,
good houses spring up, business in
crease and improvement noted all
over.
The mill would also attract busi-
ness from outside the county from
grain producing districts. I am
told the little mill at Oakley is do
ing a wonderful business and its
effect is shown in the towns up
building, which is now larger than
Albion and does much larger bus.
mess, all due to the mill.
Now, having said only a few
things in favor of the proposed
scheme, leave the subject for you
who have more reasons than / to
come together and organize COM
pany at once and push the enter
prise to an early completion. Will
you do it? ]. S. w.

THE GRIST MILL SCHEME.

NOW that the cltlzens OF this
county have been for the past two
years talking about encouraging
the erection of grlst mill at Sho-
shone is it not about time we
should 60 to work on the scheme? /?
Having had an estimate made of
the cost of plant, we are able to
say to you that it will cost $4,000
to put the necessary machinery in
place after the dam is built and the
mill house is erected, making a mill
of % barrel capacity. all machinery
of the latest roller process. This
machinery can be had and put in
place by practical millwright for
a one-half interest in the entire
plant. So you see if we will build
the dam, erect the mill house and
furnish the land we can have
mill.
Now, why not 60 to work at once,
organize company, call it the Lin
coin County Milling Company of
Shoshone, place our capital stock
at $4,000, divide the stock into
600 shares at $40 per share, and
then proceed to subscribe for the
stock. There can be no sort of a
doubt that half the stock will be
subscribed for by citizens of this
county. There are a few men we
know who will subscribe for thirty
shares, others twenty and others
ten, and the number that will SUBJ
scribe for ten SHARES are numerous,
There are many who will subscribe
for five, three, two or probably one
share. But we can procure SUBJ
scribers for 300 shares in the county
DeyOnu uOuDI.
Let those who do not feel that |
they could put in cash put IN labor.
Stone must be hauled for the dam
and building foundation, and it
might be thought best to build the
house of stone, as it would give
more employment to those who
preferred paying for stock in labor.
All the work could be done in this
way except perhaps a portion of
the superintendent's services.
Divide the payments on stock SO
that one fourth be paid monthly
'or four months, and at the end of
hat time, after our organization is
completed, we would find ourselves
n possession Of all the money nee
'ssary to the completion of the mill, +
except the inside machinery. Dur
ng these four months we could
perfect arrangements whereby the q
could be put in at once
t the expense of some practical /
miller, who would operate it. This q
vould result in bringing here an
ther leading citizen.
Now bear with me a moment :
7hile call your attention to the
dvantages our business men would
erive from this mill. There are
bout twenty carloads OF bran and
our retailed here each year. This
leans about 100000 pounds, and c
is estimated that in other parts G.
