MT. R. M. Huffmaster.

Mir Richard Huffmaster at his home in Springdale, Ark, peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, at 9:15 a . m 2, Thursday, February 23, 1899, after a severe illness of nearly two weeks.
 The deceased was born Tn Rogersville, Hawkins county Tenn, April 23, 1920, being therefore in the seventy ninth year of his age. In 1870, after having spent about four years in the state of Mo, he came with his family to thls place, where he made many friends and continued to live during the remaining years of his life.
 Mr Hutfmaster united with the Presby terian church early in life, and in 1882, at the or ganization of the Springdale Presbyterian church, was elect ed and ordained to the office of deacon, and in 1888 to the of flee of ruling elder, in which capacity he faithfully served until his death. When health permitted, he was regular in his attendance upon all the services of the church and otherwise manifested a sincere interest in it's welfare. Mir. Huffmaster was a good man, and enjoyed the confidence and respect of all who knew him. During his last sickness, as long as at all rational, he was submissive, gentle and patient.
 When death came it had no terrors for him:
 Twas but the voice Jesus sends
 To call him to his arms"
 Funeral services were con- ducted in the Presbyterian church by the pastor, after which he was laid to rest in Bluff cemetery. He leaves two sons and five daughters, also one brother and four sisters, of whom Mrs. John Philips of this city is the youngest, his be loved companion and helpmeet having long since gone before

 towns Were trying 10 negotiate
 with our berry growers for crates. The members con tracted with a Kansas City firm to furnish crates, they making a better proposition than crate manufactures elsewhere Speeches were made by J. J Carl, o. w. Patterson, Frank Wasson, J. M. Beardley and w. D, McGaugh. The mem, befs signed a contract with the Kansas City firm for their crates and agreed that their shipments should stand good for crates purchased, less the cost of picking. Our fruit growers are working in harmo. ny; each one is as busy as a bee, getting ready for the Der ry season. Berry pickers are already being engaged, so as to rush the first picking in the market for top prlces.-Gentry Journal.

A RAILROAD commission bill has passed both the House and Senate and is now Tn the hands of the governor and we have every reason to believe he will sign 1t. It provides for three commissioners at salary of S2,500 per year, and they are to be appointed by the govern or until the next general cleo. tion when they will be elected the same as other state officers. The commission is to have a secretary at a salary of S1 ,500 per year and a stenographer at sl, ,0o0 per year. In the opinion of THE NEWS this railroad commission is going to be a disappoint- ment to a great many people, but it furnishes a good fat office for some of our patriotic citizens.

Cultivation of Tomatoes
Farm and FrHitman.

Sowing of seed should be done as soon as danger of frost is over As a rule our old to. mato growers call school meet ing day, or the first Tuesday in April, the day for sowing to- mato seed. They most inVar. iably SOW thelr seed h the morning and go to school meet ing n the afternoon.
 The seed bed should be pre-. pared about the same as any other seed bed, by burning a large brush pile, or take any good garden soil and thor oughly work i. up for three or four inches deep and mark it off in little drills say half an inch deep and four inches apart. Now SOW your seed in drills just so they will be near ly touching in the single drills. Now frm the dirt oyer the seed. The advantage in sowing your seed in drills Is, you can take some narrow hoe or hook and cultivate your plants In seed bed, which is very essential in case of filth coming up in bed; besides, it stimulates the growth and makes your plants more stalky and better plants, and are ready to transplant much earlier than if simply sown broadcast; for in the lat ter case you are more liable to get them too thick and the plants are more spindling and not so good.
 Prepare your ground so as to have It in fine condition by from the fifth of May to the 1st of June, as the plants grown in open ground should be ready to plant by this tune.
 Now, when your plants are nearly large enough to trans plant, get your ground ready, and check it off both ways about five feet apart each way. Now you are ready, in case or q good season of rain, to push your planting while the ground is dry. However, you can plant with reasonable degree of success by planting of even. ings and pudding the roots of the plants, as tomato plants are very easily transplanted, and they are as easily grown and ] cultivated as corn, and a B load of tomatoes, at S5 per ton can be grown and delivered as cheap as a S5 load of corn at % cents a bushel. But while | you will only grow about two loads of corn per acre, you can just as easily grow six to eight loads of tomatoes, so they will 1 run from three to four times as much money to the acre at the same cost of production.
 Give the tomatoes the same cultivation as you would the corn.
 The varieties to plant are Livingston's New Stone and Livingston's Beauty.

Information for the Ladies.

While in Little Rock four years ago a lady learned my wife how to thread a needle so the thread will not knot while sewing. Here is the secret: When a lady breaks the thread from the spool she wants to put the fresh broke end through the eye of the needle, then draw it on through the eye and tie the knot in tie same end that she put through the eye and she will have no more trouble with knotting thread if she will follow this rule. -
