 D. D. Whisnant, of Logan township, was in town Wednesday and called and renewed his sub scription to The Journal for one year. Mr. Whisnant is one of our first subscribers and good friend of The Journal.
 Newark is the best cotton seed market in this part of the state. Seed are selling here for $2 more on the ton than at Newport. The local buyers experience q great deal of trouble in securing cars to ship seed away in and sometimes have to adopt crude methods of taking care of them.
 Jennie Anchultz, the 13-year- old daughter of Mir. and Mrs. J. A. Anchultz, is entitled to the championship as a cotton picker. One day this week she picked PIT pounds in nine hours in cotton be- longing to J. D. Seward on Prof. Henderson's place in the north edge of town. She weighs only 73I pounds.

family moved to Upshur county Tex, which has been their home since that time. Willie was boy of good moral character, was ever kind and obedient to his aged mother. He never dld anything to mar her pleasure, or to add a slngle discomfort to her life. He possessed many virtues of life that great number of boys of his age are destitute of, He bid fair to be a useful and prominent man, but the brittle thread of life has been severed, and our fond hopes and ambitions have fled, ard we should humbIy submit to the will of Him who designeth all things for the best.
 Just as the sun sank in the west ern horizon, we consigned his body to tie narrow limits of the tomb. We had done all that we could do; had gone with him as far as we could go, and now, we surrender everything else into the hands ofthe Great Creator. With sad thoughts, and heavy hearts, we returned to our respective homes,

Burned at the Stake,

Forrest City, Oct. 20.-Charles Young, the negro charged with assaulting and afterwards mur- dering Mrs. Ed Lewis, was burn ed tonight by mob of infuriatcd citizens of this county, much to the regret of a greater plumber of conservative people, wlo did not think the proof of the crime was conclusive enough to justify such Il hasty action.
 Forrest City, Oct. 2I.-The eharred lemains of Charles Young who was burned at the stake by a mob last nght, were buried by the authorities this morrIng. foung's body was only partly con sumed by the fumes.
 Sheriff Williams did all within his power to prevent mob vio. lence, and everything seemed quiet until 5 o'clock last night, when some turbulent spirits from another part ct the county came ln and influenced all uprising suf- iicient tc carry out the burning program.
 After the mob had entered the jall and taken foicible possession of Young, they hustled him to d telegraph pole in the center of the town, and were fixing to burn him when City Marshal W. w. Rain bolt went into the mob and pre- vailed upon the crowd not to at- tempt such a deed inside of the corporation. The mob then took

 Forrest City has resumed it's usual quietude. Ire pest people of the city regret that good coun- sel did not prevail and that the promise of d speedy trial did not restrain the mob.

The esteemed Shary County Record seems to think that The Journal has recently become d sworn enemy to GoverHor Davis because he appointed Mathcny as representative. Not by d good deal, brother. A newspaper has a perfect right, and should never hesitate to exercise the right, to condemn pubic official when his official acts invite criticism. The Journal would as quickly raise its voice III defense of Governor Davls if he should be tnrightously assailed as 1t ever did. But when the governor of Arkansas yIltu- ally takes away from the people the light to choose their own of ticials, The Journal will never fail to enter q strong protest, and would do so even if our distin- guished brother, of the Record, should occupy the executive chair.

 On Thursday morning, Oct. the l6tb, about 2 o'clock, the Death Angel invaded the home of Mrs. Fannie Willlford, and claimed for its victim her youngest son, Willie. He was afflicted witb that terrible malady known as Brights Disease. He had experienced bad health for sometime, but was seriously sick orly two or three days. His most intimate friends. and even the members of the family did not realize his danger- ous condition until q few hours previous to hls death. The fami- ly secured the best medical aid that could be acquired in the country, but all efforts were a failure. He leaves a mother. three brothers. and one sister to mourn his death. Willie was just verging into man. hood, being about l7 years old. He lived ill the neighborhood of Newark from childhood until nearly two years ago when the

Dogs as Life Guards.

In short time, says the European
correspondent of the Baltimore Ameri-
can, quite a number of Newfoundland
dogs will be adde's to the corps of OIL
GERS who patrol the Seine as life
guards. The dogs are young, magnifi-
cent fellows, and have been in special
training for some months. Their edu-
cation has been carried on in an indoor
bath built for the purpose. and recently
several exhibitions have been given be-
fore members of the municipal board
of police for the purpose of demon
strating the dogs fitness for their work
of rescue. In the early spring when
the dogs take their places among the
ranks of gallant rescuers, kennels will
be built for them at intervals along
the river. The work of education will
then be carried on regularly, the dogs
being taken through their PAGES just
as the horses of the fire department
are exercised every day. In the recent
exhibitions these noble animals show
ed themselves splendidly qualified for
their work by their quickness, their
powers of endurance when attacked by
would-be suicides and their power to
sustain for a considerable time the
weight of a human body.

At Foss, on the Washita river, in

drowned were all women and children
