 Jesse Russell, editor of THE TRIBUNE, was in Harrison last week He seems very much tickled over the success of Sae Green Forest delegation to the State Horticultural meeting at Fayetteville, in capturing the meeting for January 1903 for his town. His brother A. J. Russell was one of party that attended
 snd agrees with the reports from most all quarters that the meet ing was a success. The Russells
 started THE TRIBUNE about 15I years ago when Green Forest was only wide place in the road. They have worked hard for their town and have done well. The next meeting being held at Green Forest will make it very conven- ient for Boone County Horticul- turist to attend. d.-~Boone Banner.
 Word was received in Rogers early Thursday morning that Jim Jackson night watch at Benton vile had been killed the previous night in that city by the acciden- tai discharge of his pistol, The facts as best as we can learn { them, are about as follows: It ! seems that he had been in. the 1 habit of going to the cetral tele- phone office to take his midnight lunch, and on this occasion after he had lunched he went to the l water bucket to get drink but 1 found the bucket empty, where upon he took the bucket and | went to the hydrant, which is To- ,cated near HigIey's drug store on west side of the square, and in stopping down to turn on the water his pistol dropped out and exploded, the ball entering near the nose and ranging up lodging near the back part of the head.

 At the meeting of the County 1 Horticultural Society at Dr. John sons office last Friday, the doctor gave quite an interesting report of the state horticultural society meeting at Fayetteville last month. Among the features of interest to which the doctor call ed special attention was that of COW peas. A goodly number of fruit growers cultivate this crop in their orchards with good re- suits, but the point of interest was i'll the fact reported by these fruit growers as well as by the experi- mental station at Fayetteville, was that 1t was dentrimential to the land, and especially the orchard, | to ploW under these peas while green to harvest the crops and then piow the ground, more ben- eft was derived from the roots alone than from the entire crop being turned under after it had first matured. John Maxey gave an obstructive talk or the culture of the trawberry. He empha sized the importance of selecting good varieties from relible deal prs, selecting good strong land, plant as early in the spring as possible and then cultivate tnor- s,ughly. He preferred planting
 tnd training ill hills, second ill Hedge rows, and never broadcast sver the patch, for profit. To be
 @alned Tn hills, set plants about

 fusiant on the strawberry. MT. Soyles, lately from Fayetteville,
