Coughing Spell Caused Death.

"Harry Duckwell, aged 20 years, choked to death early yesterday morning at his home, in the presence of his wife and child. He contracted slight cold a few days ago and paid but little attention to it. Yesterday morning he was seized with fit of coughing which continued for some time. His wife sent for a physician but before he could arr rive, another coughing spell came on and Duckwell died from suffocation.-St. Louis Globe Democrat. Dec. l. 1901."

Woman Postmaster for Fordyce.

The announcement that Mrs. M. A. Puckett had been appoint ed postmistress at Fordyce was great surprise and many won- dered how she happened to get the plum, says the Yellville Re- publican. She belongs to one of the oldest families in the state and her ancestors have been demo- crats ever since the days of Jeffer- son. But few knew that she was an applicant for the position and those who knew it thought she was following forlorn hope. The other contestants didn't think she was Gin it." A full account of how it happened would read like romance, butts briefly told as follows:
 Nearly forty years ago two Federal soldiers named Penwan- der and Campbell were desperate ly wounded at Marks Mill and left upon the battlefield to die. By chance a young lady, Miss Mollie Marks, found them, had them taken to the home of her grandmother and nursed them pack to life. These men never forgot the kindness bestowed, and after long years they wrote back to members of the Marks family and asked especially about Miss Mollie. One of them, Mr.. Penwander, visited the old battle ground about a year ago and has since corresponded with Miss Mollie, now Mrs. Puckett, and she wrote him in Illinois and MT. Campbell in Indiana to assist her in securing the postoffice at this place. It seems that they have considerable influence with the president, or perhaps the TO- nance of their story appealed to our soldier president. At any rate he has sent her appointment to the senate and if confirmed by that body she will be the next postmistress. The position is worth S1, 300 year.

out. To keep the bOrerS from getting in, it will be necessary to go through the orchard each spring and push the wrappers into the ground again as the part in contact with the soil generally rots off in year. Fasten the wrappers on by wiring near the top and bottom. Wooden veneer wrappers may be had of basket and box companies for S3.50 to S5 .OO per thousand.
 CULTIVATION the peach trees clean culture throughout the first season by stirring the soil at least after each rain. If the land is rich, clean culture may be practiced every year, but if it is thin and needs enriching, turn in spring and cultivate until the middle of June or first of July and then SOW to COW peas. This crop will greatly improve the fertility of the soil even though the peas are cut for hay.
 The best tool for cultivating an orchard is Clark Cutaway har- row, wherever 1t can be used. In stony or stumpy land a cut away could not be employed. An Acme harrow is a splendid tool to follow the cutaway to level and pulverize the soil. The Acme should be sufficient to use after each rain to break the crust.
 In a general way it may be said in regard to tree fruits that all dead branches should be re- moved and the top of the tree be kept sufficiently open to admit an abundance of sunlight for the coloring of the fruit. Reason ably open tops are also of great advantage in spraying the trees and in harvesting the fruit. The natuaral habit of the tree should suggest the form to be adopted by the pruner. In other woros, a tree the branches of which naturally droop, cannot we'll be pruned to an upright form, and a tree with strong tendency to- wards forming an upright head cannot readily be made to as- sume a decidedly spreading form. Of course, these natural tenden- cies can be influenced in a measure by the manner of prun- ing, but they cannot be entirely overcome. The tops should be kept symmetrical and as well balanced as possible. The prun- ing of the various kinds of small fruits is based on the same general principles as the pruning of fruit trees-that is, the manner in which the fruit is borne and the character of the growth should govern the method of pruning.
 Perhaps the most important thing is to observe the manner in which the fruit is borne. For instance, an apple or pear tree bears it's fruit mostly on fruit spurs, and so would not be pruned in the same way as peach tree which bears it's fruit only on las seasons growth. A quince tree, which produces it's fruit on the tips of the growth made the present season, would naturally be pruned differently from either an apple or peach tree. Likewise the correct pruning of grapes is based on the fact that the shoots of the present season produce this years crop. The same principle in pruning holds gooc throughout the whole list of fruits that is, the manner in which the fruit is borne should govern the manner of pruning.

LOWER RATES ANNOUNCED.
Central Telephone Co. Accedes
 to Demand for Reduction.

Central Telephone Go. Accedes
 to Demand for Reduction.
 THE TRIBUNE is pleased to be able to announce this week that there has been an adjustment of the rates on the Harrison Eureka Springs long distance telephone line, which affords the patrons of the line at Green Forest a much cheaper rate in several instances than has heretofore been in effect.
 J. s. Dodson, manager of the Central Telephone Co.,, was here and called on THE TRIBUNE Wednesday evening and inform- ed us that it is his intention, to give our people what they desire in rates, if it is possible. He ad- mits that the rates have been too high, but says that he did not make them himself and that the pressure of business in his office has caused him to neglect look ing after the matter as he should.
 MT. Dodson finds no fault with the agitation of the matter of low CT rates by this paper, further than he feels that in one or two instances we have reflected upon his integrity, for which he thinks we owe him an apology. Nothing we have said was direct ed personally atMr. Dodson, and if any one has so understood it, we wish to repeat to them that our discussion of the matter was solely in the interest of reform in telephone rates.
 The changes in the schedule of rates announced by Mr. Dodson which have just taken effect are: From 25 cents to 15 cents between Green Forest and Berryville; from 25 cents to 20 cents between Green Forest and Osage; from 20 cents to 15 cents between Green Forest and Alpena and between Carrollton and Green Forest.
 In this connection Mr. Dodson announces the maximum rate for messages on the lines between Harrison and Eureka Springs will be 25 cents, which is a cut of considerable importance for some towns on the line. Heretofore 1t has cost 40 cents to telephone from Osage to either Harrison or Eureka Springs.
 | In our conversation with MT. Dodson, we suggested that line Independent of the present one between Green Forest and Berry vile, connecting the two ex- changes, would give impetus to the business in both towns and result to the benefit of the people and at the same time be made to pay the owners. Such a line could be constructed by way of Cisco, Urbanette and Freeman and quite a bit of new business created. If the increase of busi- ness made by such an arrange ment would not justify the build- ing of the line, a small addition could be made on the price of phone rentals at each place to such as desired the double ser vice.
 Mr. Dodson seemed pleased with the suggestion and it is also looked upon with favor by Messrs. Hummer & Hanbury of the Green Forest exchange. If the people want such line they should let the fact be known and if tine own CTS of the exchanges can be inn pressed that such an arrange ment would be a financial winner, the line will certainly be put in.
