Unearthed a Skeleton.

The recent unearthing of a hu- man skeleton by mining prospect or in Garland county revives the story of the strange disappearance of man named Murphy fourteen or fifteen years ago. Murphy is said to have received regular remit tances from a daughter. One day he expressed a determination to leave the county and employed two well-known young men to drive him to Malvern that he might take the train. It is said that this was the last seen or heard of Murphy. At one time an attempt was made to locate him and failing, an attempt was made to prove his death at the hands of these two young men, but owing to the high standing of the young men in the community Qo steps were taken beyond an investi- gation. The officers will now en- deavor to learn whether Murphy IS let alive.

Killed Them Both.

A tragedy occurred nine miles from Van Buren in which Justice of the Peace John O'Kelley and Mrs. Kit Helton were killed. Kit Hel- ton shot Justice O'Kelley from am- bush while O'Kelley was doing chores around his home. The bullet from a A Winchester pierced O'Kel- ley's abdomen, producing a fatal wound. Helton then returned to his home, where he shot his wife through the heart, killing her instantly. He then left home, searching for his step-son, Brush Steward, with the avowed purpose of killing him. It is alleged that Helton has long been jealous of his wife and O'Kel- ley, and it is supposed that this brought about the killing.

Crops and Weather.

Decidedly lower temperatures with generally light rain unevenly distributed throughout the state, were the characteristic features If the weather during the week ending September 25.

Cotton picking con- tinues to progress rapidly. In some localities it is about all opened and in a few localities will all be gath cred the first picking. The yield will be light, in many places lighter than was anticipated. Corn has all matured and the greater portion of 1t has been cut and stacked in the fields.

Appeal to the Baptists.


 Hon. Jas. P. Eagle, chairman of the state mission board of the Ar kansas Baptists, has issued the fol- lowing urgent appeal to the Bap- lists of the state:
 My Dear Brethren-You are aware of the fact that we have re- gently sustained a serious blow in the loss by one of our general mis- sionaries of his wife, and in the fur ther fact that Dr. A. J. Barton, our corresponding secretary, who was leading our forces in the mission work, has been forced to lay down his work and give his immediate at- tentlon to his wife, whose health is exceedingly precarious. This leaves our forces partially without leader- ship, and at the instance of the ex- ecutive committee of the state mis- sion board I address this letter. ask ing that you assist us all you can in seeking to repair the losses which we are thus sustaining, by carrying this matter and the demands of our cause, before your congregation at an early date and securing as large a contribution thereto as possible, and remitting the same to Dr. J. H Kitchens, Jr., our treasurer, it Jones boro, Ark. We are behind with our missionaries. They need their money. Their work will be hindered if we cannot pay them what we owe them. The brethren who were leading in this work were doing so as our servants and as the stewards and servants of the Lord we should industriously, prayerfully and with our whole hearts seek to see that his interests will not be neglected and that his cause shall not suffer loss. Will you not engaged with your en- tire congregation in prayer for di- vine guidance of his people and that he, through the Holy Spirit, will lead us in our struggles to hon. or his name and for the salvation of the lost, May we not pray that he will keep us from doing wrong and enable us to go to the convention free of debt and with messages of great joy because of his blessings upon our workers and of his mani fest presence with his people? We beg you in Christ's name to aid us and aid us speedily. But two months of our convention year remain, and with that time we will have to raise about $3,500 that we may go there free of debt. During the same pe- riod last year we raised about $2,- 700. We will have to increase our contributions, as we have largely in- creased in our working force, and the Lord has so largely increased the glorious results, which will be reported at that meeting. There has never been year so fruitful as the present one promises to be. Hoping that you will cheer us by a speedy and full response to our requests, I am your brother in Christ, Jas P. Eagle,
 Chairman Board.
