For instance, there was man by the
name of-well. say Tim Short, who
sent us three notices to stop his paper
he didn t want it any longer. Upon
investigating the book we found Tim
was short $40. He never paid a cent.
and yet he stopped his paper as n matter
of economy-to us. He didn t want us
to lose any more money on him. A few
days after Short was in church and his
melodious tenor rang out loud and clear

Another Mystery to Solve.

Another Mystery to Solve.
About 7 80 Saturday evening the crew
of an east bound train discovered the
body of man lying just outside the rails
about two miles east of town. On stop
ping the train the discovery was made
that the body was that of negro, later
identified rs that Of Press ("Slick
Williams. The face and head of the
man were badly battered, as the train
men at the time thought by the engine.
They brought the train back to Van
Buren and notified the officers and a
switch engine and car were sent out and
brought the man in, who was still alive
but died Sunday afternoon about four
o clock from the effects of his injuries
The physicians who examined the man
and attended him before his death stated
that in their opinion the wounds were
not made by the strain thus throwing
An air of mystery about the find Justice
Moore empannelled a coroners jury,
who after viewing the remains and
listening to what little evidence could
be adduced, brought in q verdict of
death at the hands of unknown
parties.
The case so far is a mysterious one
and will give our officers chance to do
some detective work. Williams had
come over from Fort Smith that after
noon. bought bottle of whiskey and
announced his intention of walking to
Shibley Switch.

The suggestion made some weeks
since of raising subscription and boring

advantages, quite a number of manu-

The Value OF Spraying.

Prof. H. E. Weed, OF Georgia, esti-
mates that the annual yield of all crops
8 lessened 25 per cent by the attacks of
injurious insects and fungous diseases.
He estimates that on horticultural crops
rs per cent of the loss can be prevented
by remedies applied with the spray
pump. Speaking of methods in spray
ing, he says
Spraying must be done intelligently.
We must know where, when and how to
obtain the best results. Simply to spray
here and there without any definite OBJ
iect in view is time and material wasted.
Spraying is no child play, but is hard
work, as all know who have tried it to
any extent. Spraying should be an es-
sential part of farm practice. Its ex'
perimental stage has long since passed.
The best results are not obtained the
first year. especially with the fungous
diseases. Intelligent spraying at the
right time brings the desired result-a
larger crop and a greater profit.
Put your boy at work if he is not in
school. If there is nothing else for him
to do put him to whitewashing the back
fence, keep lawn moved and even cut
the winter wood. Anything is better
than loafng around town at the rear
end of u cigarette, learning all the evil
habits and contracting all the vices that
are aAoat TO catch idlers. No honest
labor will hurt your boy. but the evil
habits he may contract in the streets
may kill his soul and poison his moral
nature SO as 10 make him detriment tC
the community in which he lives ant
bow down his grey haired parents with
sorrow. II the fathers and mothers OF
today would only learn the Importance
Of training their sons to be industriou
and keep them off the streets, the coming
generation would be inestimably bette
