There is no crop that the Alabama far mer can cultivate with as little trouble and Big profit as that of hay. The lands af ana the climate are suitable to all kinds Ish almost all the year round. I have often heard this statement made by both Theoretical and practical farmers. and the experience of all who have tried 1t In the past few years has fully verified and sustained it. The raising of hay grasses require less attention and work than any other crop and the yield Is al- ways many fold. t9s
 About eighteen or twenty years ago, when the farmers first began to form their different district and county agri- cultural clubs. I very well remember slount Springs. Senator John T. Nor gan was down on the program for a talk on Johnson grass. The Senator, then as now. was fully posted on every subject. even that of hay raising, and the splendid speech he made proved con clusiVely that he was ,conversant with the subject In every detail and that he knew of what great benefit hay raising was going to be to the Alabama farmer. He told how 1t had been planted In diff ferent localities and how rapidly 1t had spread and how large and profitable yields had been secured. He urged every farmer at the meeting to put in crop of Johnson grass, promising that 1t would be the hay crop of the future. He closed by saving he wished there was a patch of Johnson grass on every farm in Alabama. An old farmer arose and said he had listened to the remarks of the Senator with a great deal of inter est and he hated to spoil so good talk as he had listened to. but as for him he had gotten his full of Johnson grass. He had paid good large sum to get 1t started on his place. but now his place had been taken by it and he would give ten times what he had paid to get rid of 1t. l do not know that this incident sounded the death knell of Johnson grass but do know that for some cause it has not been pornlar and that the farmers of Alabama have not taken to Johnson grass. the main trouble being 1t seems that 1t spreads all over crea- lion and cannot be kept in control.
 Alfalfa.
 The grass that meets all these obJec- tions, I am told, Is alfalfa It Is luxu- riant and prolific, and grows right along from year to year until the crop Is de- stroyed. It can be cut any number of times and Is said by many who ought to know that, 1t Is the very best grass for hay that can be grown in, Alabama

Creek War. Whoop.

Charles Gibson in Indian Journal.
 Wa know this is a very dull subject at this stage of the Indians history DIV we hapDen to know that there was such a thing once as a Creek war whoop. II was never given during battle as some would have you believe. The war whoop of the Greek Indian was given more as a warning than as a summons to combat. When the enemy was close upon the Creek Indian he went at once to all the camps. giving at intervals three Keen whoops as fast as he could draw h hreath-short keen whoops. As he drew near the camps of his people the whoops were given oftener. He did not stop to report the cause but kept right on to the next camp or settlement. as the case might be. After the first one giving the war whoop gave out on his run. another took |. up and carried it to other camps and settlements until all the Creeks were warned. They asked no questions. hut rushed to arms at once and formo a scouting parties. The Arhekas were al- ways detailed by the Creeks to do picKet duty, for they were experts at the buSl- ness. They were called the Gate Town' Chittn Hario Is Q member Of this town. Maybe that is why he is little nara 10 conquer. He knows how to sound the war whoop of the Gre eks, though ne IS not allowed to do so at this stage or the Indian game.

TAMALE MAN SUSPECTED.
Clarendon Industry Put Out Of Busi-
 ness By a Discovery As To Dogs.

Clarendon, August 7.---Until few days ago Clarepdonians regarded the making of sausage, bologna, hot ta- males and other similar delicacies of dog meat as thing that did not exist in fact, but had it's origin in the minds of the men who make humorous par agraphs for the city papers. Devel- opments of the past few days, how ever, have made some of them think differently, and as a result one tamale man is out of business and the others are experiencing dearth of sales.
 On Monday some children playing in the street saw tamale man coax ing a fat sleek dog toward his factory. This excited their suspicion, but they thought probably the dog belonged to the man and said nothing about it. Yesterday, however, they saw him with another dog, also fat and sleek, and the canine having peculiar marks they recognized it as belonging to J. o. Baker, a merchant of the town, and knowing that he valued the dog as a pet they proceeded to give in formation as to it's whereabouts. Mir. Baker lost no time in going after the dog, which he found at the tamale factory.

MAYORS COURT BUSY


 Mayor Grubbs was kept quite busy this bad Friday, by numerous calls to sit in judgment upon petty criminal cases.
 Dr. Shelly's wife secured the arrest of a negro boy, son of Lewis Smith, charged with shooting her own son with an air gun, but in the hearing of the case, the prosecuting witness could not substantiate her story and the defendant was acquitted
 When the Choctaw passenger ar rived Friday afternoon, a scuffie en- sued over the grips of some lady pas sengers, in which Will Morant, porter for the Planters House seems to have worsted old man Kidd, porter for the Cottage House. The latter had him arrested, but Mayor Grubbs acquitted him, after stating his intention of fning any other such disturbers, who drummed on the depot platform, against which there is a city ordi- nance.
 One of the Doyle boys was arraigned in court for jumping trains and fined. The officers are determined to put a stop to this misdemeanor and break the Newport youngsters of a reckless and dangerous habit.

GOULD SYSTEM EXTENSIONS

The Missouri Pacific expects to reap rich harvest from the Granby branch, recently opened. It is not officially stated, but it is understood that the Goulds expect to extend this line from Granby to the White River branch.
 The Missouri Pacific will soon ex- tend one of the three branches to War saw, Versailles or Bagnell southwest to a connection at Nevada, Carthage or Granby, which, with the Granny connection with the White River branch, will give both Kansas City and St. Louis close Gould connections with new section of Arkansas.
 The Goulds will also extend the In ternational and Great Northern north through Indian Territory. These ex- tensions, taken with the extensions in Texas, and Kansas cutoff for a more direct St. Louis line to Denver for the use of the fast mail, will az gregate many hundred miles of new track. Construction is only retarded by the big mills. Little Rock Gazette.

REWARD FOR CONVICTIONS.

| Blind tigersa formed the subject of an animated discussion' at a meet ing of the city fathers of Jonesboro recently, says the Enterprise of that city, tin which Councilmen Mathes, Copeland and Robertson and the Mayor and Marshal participated. That Jonesboro had tigers seemed to be admitted, and that it would continue to have seems inevitable. During the month of June alone when every eff fort was being made to suppress the evil, the docket shows that the city attorney was forced to dismiss forty five cases for want of evidence. After some discussion Councilman Mathes, moved to give the $100 fines in tiger cases to the marshal for ap- pretending and correcting illegal whiskey sellers. Councilman Cope land moved to amend that motion by giving the $100 to any person who would furnish the convicting evil dence The motion was passed as amended and the resolution will be put in legal form at the next meeting of the council, after which amateur detectives will spring up in Jonesboro like lightning bugs in a swamp fog"

FINE FINANCIAL SHOWING.

For the year ending July 1, County Judge o. w. Scarborough has com piled some figures which make very creditable showing for the county and sum up a record in the careful and wise administration of the county finances, of which he has a right to be proud.

Aside from these Improvements $3, 44S.75 was set aside for the redemp- tion of the county's outstanding scrip, which now amounts to between $21, ,00C and $22,OO0.

SENATOR CLARKE
 ADVISES SCRUTINY.

In his speech at the Democratic barbecue at Mabelvale Thursday ex- Gov. James F. Clarke said:
 "In recent years there has been so much talk of the practice of boodling in the general assembly, and the cir cumstantial evidences have been so numerous, that I think the matter has progressed to a point where some notice should be taken of it. There is too much smoke for there to be no fire. The people should scrutinize the records of the men they send to the legislature.
 "The penitentiary question also needs attention. The people should commission their legislators to look to the bottom of the whole thing.'
 This is what was eaten at the Mabel vale barbecue:
 1,300 pounds of pork, beef and mutton.
 800 loaves of bread.
 1000 pounds of ice.
 30 gallons of pickles.
 bushels of onions.
 bushel of green peppers. Little Rock Gazette.

SENATOR JONES
PREFERS 5POONER.

A special from Racine, Wis, says that Senator Jones of Arkansas, was there yesterday, and it is understood he was using his good offices i'll behalf of Senator Spooner's re- election, says Washington dispatch to the Mem phis Commercial-Appeal. It was even reported, says the special, that Senator Jones would stump the state, but it is evident he would not under take such course. The special how ever, continues:
 'tNo, I would not confirm or deny such a report" Senator Jones said. But I will say in all seriousness that if the Wisconsin people want to be we'll represented at Washington, they can pick no stronger man. should be glad to see a democrat at the cap- ital from Wisconsin, but this is hardly possible, and if a republican must go to Washington I want to see Spooner go, and would do anything in my power to bring about this result"
