LICENSE GRANTED.

Jonesborro, Jan. 22-On the seventh day of October, 1902, there was peti- ton filed in the Craighead county court before Judge J. F. Rains, praying that license for the sale of liquor be not granted by the court, and there being objections made to the petition by people who wanted license the case was continued and trial set for Jan uary 5, 1903, since which date the matter has been before the court in a long drawn trial. It was finally settled yesterday by the prohibi- tionists withdrawing their petition. The legal battle was fought with all the determination and force that could be commanded by both sides.
 The taking of evidence was finished Tuesday noon and court was adjourn ed until yesterday morning to give the attorneys time to clear the deck for the arguments in the case, but when court opened Hon. J. D. Block, who represented the prohibitionists, arose and stated that they would withdraw the petition, which virtually conceded their defeat and ended the case.
 There were five saloon licenses granted today, two or three of which are now open and doing business, having prepared everything before the case was ended.
 The fight has been bitter one and all classes are glad it has ended.

THE NEWSPAPER MAN.

The newspaper man is an animal that is quite common in the South west, where he is used by the citizens as beasts of burden.
 He has two eyes, two ears, generally one nose, one mouth and one wife.
 His legs, which are two, are very useful to him when danger threatens. They are fastened to the lower end of his body, and in most cases extend all the way down to the ground, where they hattten out like two gigantic corn dodgers.
 Sometimes newspaper man has real hair on his head and we'll nigh human ears often hang on in life like manner. This has now and then caused somebody to mistake him for a real human being, but this mistake is rare, seldom occurring to each news paper man more than once during a lifetime.
 The newspaper man is generally conceded to be the most docile of all domestic animals. Now and then one finds hooker in the herd, but when taken young and properly managed they can nearly all be tanned. After he is tanned he will do anything to please his master. He works day and night He gets into the habit of working all the time. He tries to boom the town. The people don't app preciate it, but he doesn't expect them to.
 All he wants to get out of life, and all he expects to get, are his vituals and health.
 He goes into the newspaper habit, and this habit, when once formed, is hard to overcome.
 We have known great many news paper men who took up the habit early and followed it until they starved.
 Day after day and night after night the newspaper man goes on with his habit of work; while his neighbors are resting from the noon heat he is at work; while the town loafer sits on the porch and spins his yarn, he IS at work, and when the town is wrapped in slumber, the light can be seen burning away through his window, and you know he is at work. He lives for others. When you are distressed, it is the newspaper man who is ready to offer you 6 word of encouragement.
 He sympathizes with humanity When you laugh, he laughs, when you cry, he is sorry; when your wife pre- sents you with a bouncing baby boy he joyfully puts it in print; when the bride goes out from the parental roof to live in home of her own, he records the date of her hapDy marriage and speaks a good word that will be cherished by her children in after years; and when death enters your home and lays low one of your fairest flowers he it is who stands by the open grave with heavy heart and, fearful eye feeling your anguish from the great depth of his soul.-Melson Record.

CHAPTER XXI.
But Life Went On.

Her father was dead; she knew it; !;
she accepted it in silence after the
first wild return to the realization of
what had come upon her. Only once,
when she was alone with young Green,
while they were making preparations
to convey the body home, did she
show any sign of emotion. She was
standing at the little window in their
parlor looking out upon the busy
street. Dora, who had come to her
upon receiving the telegram of her
uncle's death, was in the inner room
with Mrs. Allen and the doctors and
one or two of the attendants.
Her father was dead-dead. Never
before had she seen death. She knew
absolutely nothing about any other
life. about anything beyond the days
that passed much alike to her-or had
passed much alike to her until these
friends came into her life. Heaven
was where the stars were; her astro-
nomy told her of God, an infinite Be-
ing, all powerful. all merciful; the
Creator of all things, but farther than
that she knew nothing.
Thought crowded upon thought, yet
with a distinctness mingled with
those strange half ineligible words
of the past, that was intense suffering
to her. She was in half stupor, with
her brain SO active that it was
wearing away her very life. DR.. Dun
widdie said that she must be aroused;
9 h,a .f he, ,ohf # >f cx1
she must be moved to tears. or to
some utterance of her grief She
could not go on like this. For a year
now she had been in this strained
state of feeling. He turned to Dora
in this time of need. She was not the
pale girl who arrived at the mountain
a year before; her face had filed out;
her cheeks no longer bore the hectic
flush. but held the soft color of ad-
vancing health. while her eyes had
lost their strained look of suffering.
DR.. Dunwiddie called her over to
him by the window that morning and
she went to him obediently.
Something must be done for your
cousin" he said, gravely. "She Is in
such state of half consciousness, her
senses dulled by too much strain upon
them that she is in danger of losing
her mind. Go to her You are wom-
an, and will know what to do.
But l don't know what to do" she
said as gravely as he had spoken. ''Dr.

ut sounds cruel he said. Miss
Dora, but it is the only thing that can
be done, and is true kindness.
You are always kind" she said
softly, and the soft eyes lifted to his
were womanly eyes, and the tender
dropping face was sweet face to him.
We will take her away from here as
soon-as-all is over. We return to
New York next week. Dr. nunwlddie.
