 Andrew Norris has received a letter from his brother Rufus, who recently went to Sedalia, Mo-, to take a course Tn teiegraphy, which states that he is getting along excellently, he now being able to receive eight or ten words a minute and send twelve or fifteen.

There will be a box supper at Doug las school house on the night of Feb. 9th, that being the last day of school. A cake will be awarded to the prettiest girl and also one for the homliest young man. A good time is assured.
 The population of Green Forest was decreased six this week when Henry Howard and family and his brother, Kim, together with their parents, Mir. and Mrs. J. C.. Howard, moved to the Callen farm, five miles northeast of town, where the boys will make a crop the coming season.
 Oscar Grim rather thoughtlessly made a gentleman from Washington state price on the Grim old homestead last Monday and the fellow called it a deal before Oscar had time to back out. The ! newcomers name is J. J. Hoback, brother of the gentleman who bought Ed Golfers place near Hugh. MT. Ho- back wanted the place for a fruit and i stock farm, and expects to move here from Washington as soon as he can dis pose of his property there. The consid- eration of this deal was S30OO.
 Newton Hart came in from Iowa on Friday of last week and will spend a short time visiting his parents, MT. and Mrs. H. c. Hart at Yocum. Since leav- ing here few years ago Newton has developed from beardless lad into stately manhood. In the meantime he has lost his right foot, the accident oc- curing while engaged as brakeman on an Iowa railroad. He wears perfectly adjusted cork, however, and his looks or action are not impaired greatly on ac- count of it.
 Last week Mike Coxsey shipped to St. Louis with other hogs ten 6-months old pigs of his own raising which aggregat- ed a weight of i7S0 pounds. Selling at S5.60 he realized from them the sum of S117.4S. He estimates that the cost of raising and shipping amounted to Sl3 %, thus netting him a profit of STA. IS. The mother of these pigs was also sold at same time, bringing s24.42, which Mir. Coxsey figures represents profit on her of s16.i4, after deducting feed and ship ping expense. Thus, the total profit oa eleven head amounts to $9262. This was gilt with her first litter, but they were good stock and well cared for.

 Mrs. M. E. Spicer was plaintiff and w. B. Collins defendant in suit in repEvin heard before Judge Butt last Saturday. MT. Collins had sold Mrs. Spicer an equity in some property in- cumbered by American Building s; Loan Association. Mrs. Spicer gave him ti tie to a COW in the deal but did not give possession. Later Mrs. Spicer claimed she found the payments on the property had not been made as represented and refused to give MT. Collins possession of the COW. Finding the animal out on the commons, MT. Collins took charge of her. In this suit Mrs. Spicer sought the recovery of the COW but jury trial re- suited in favor of the defendant.
 The railroad company has swapped agents with Green Forest again, taking MT. Weatherly into the office as assist ant agent at Eureka Springs. The an- nouncement that a change was to be made here was received with much re- gret by our people, for MT. Weatherly has made us courteous, obliging agent. The agent here now is R. H. Glover, who has been in the company's employ since opening the station at Gilbert, having previously been with the Frisco. We have sized him up as a hail fellow we'll met and good material for q good agent in good town, but if he doesn't prove to be so, we won't say much about it, for he stands about six foot six and is well pIoportioned.

Windfall for a shoeblack.

A Hoxton shoeblack visited a bar
bershop, and while there heard a Gus
toner read an advertisement offering
a reward for information as to his
whereabouts. On hearing his name
read out as heir to a fortune of $780,
900 the shoeblack jumped up and ex-
claimed: Hurry up; that's me. Pm
off" Flinging down a few pence he
put on his hat and went out. The
people in the shop regarded him as
insane. He walked all the way to
the town where the solicitors who
had advertised for the missing man
were in practice, his own means to
pay the fare being insufficient, 1t
seems that the estate to which he has
succeeded belonged to his uncle, who
died intestate. 1t has since been
valued at f50,OOO.-London Tit
