AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

The CRITTENDEN PRESS news
paper, printing plant, and bust
ness has been sold to Mr.. ). Nj.
jenkins, who with this issue as
sumes control.
He is well known to the people
of this and surrounding counties.
He is a man OF fine character and
broad mind; a public spirited cit
izen and thoroughly identified
with the interests of this section
of the State. Ambitious to im-
prove the paper, increase its use.
fulness and extend its influence, he
will give the business his personal
attention and bring to bear all in-
tluences and assistance necessary
to accomplish this purpose. We
bespeak for him the cordial sup
port of all the friends of the retir-
ing publisher
COED BYE.
While we congratulate b Q
friends of the PRESS upon the
change in the editorship, we are
frank to confess that it is with the
deepest regret we retire from a po-
sition that seems 10 be part of
our being. But failing health and
the apparent necessity for change
of climate brings these new bust
ness arrangements, which will,
doubtless, prove best for the pa
per, and, we hope, for the writer.
Be that as it may, the pleasant
business relations and the strong
friendships woven by years of as
sociation, are ties that bind us to
the good people of Crittenden,
Livingston and portion of Cald-
we'll counties. These friendly re-
lations and expressions Of conf
dence have been an inspiration,
and have called forth our best eff
forts to publish paper worthy to
represent, in local way. the peo-
pie of this section. Whatever has
been accomplished, for veal or
woe, by the PRESS, must speak for
itself, and, if the arbitrators be
those iuto whose homes it has
gone every week of all these years
we shall be contented with tho de-
cision. The liberal patronage the
paper has received from a gener-
GUS public, public composed Of ii
people who succor those agencies
and influences only that seek to
do good, has been bounteous re-
ward and is a sweet fruition of all
the work
Twenty-Five years ago the PRESS
WAS founded by the writer, and
now it brings glow of pleasure
to ind nowhere, in heart or mind,
a regret that the life of a country

MORGAN MAKES STATEMENT.
Says His Firm. Had Nothing to Do
 With ShipbuIdlna Co.

New York, October S.-Messrs. J. P. Morgan X Co. made the following state- ment today. in reference to the testimony given by Daniel LeRoy Dresser in the shipbuilding hearing:
 Neither the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co nor any partner ever had any con- nection with the inception, organization or financing of the United States Ship building company, nor have they ever received or owned any of its securities As managers of the United States Steel Corporation syndicate we held Bethle- hem Steel company stock until a pur- chaser was found. It was transferred to the United States Shipbuiding company at exact cost and preferred and common stock which were received in lieu of in- terest and earnings of the company were sold at private sale for $75,000 and the proceeds were distributed as part of the profit of the United States syndicate Any statement that we were parties to any agreement for selling stock is wholly untrue"

AgricuItural Department
CONDUCTED BY FULTON s. WHITE.

dle Tennessee have come to believe all that it has claimed. All that is needed in Alabama for 1t to make good It's claims is for the farmers to give it a chance. But of this valuable grass l shall have more to say later on-only get your lands ready for sowing this grass now as soon as the drouth Is fully broken.
 It seems that the present drouth through the southern states is likely to delay the seeding of elovers and grasses this fall until November
 Alfalfa Again.
 There Is one or two points about alfalfa which I omitted last week to mention. One Is that the young plants are very tender. start growth very slowly so thar this Is why we so strongly urge the thorough preparation of the soil before sowing the seed. Another point is the question of pasturing the crops which are wanted for hay. On this question I find quite a difference of opinion.
 In the west the idea Is to pasture, then make hay Since writing my article on alfalfa I have had an opportunity to see the crop as it is grown in the more east ern states. and especially as grown in New York and on the Illinois state exper- mental grounds at Champaign, III. In both these great agricultural states af- falfa hay Is now regarded as the finest food possible for dairy cows, and for this purpose it Is grown and fed to all the fine dairy cows, whose records for great butter yields are before the world. Neither of these states pasture their alfalfa crops wanted or that are sown for hay, claim ing, and justly so. that what pasture they get is at the expense of the hay crop. In both New York and Illinois they claim to grow five tons of alfalfa per aere-from three cuttings However the soils suited for alfalfa are not so common in the east as they are in the west.
 To show the value of alfalfa hay for dairy COWS I will state that l was shown one cow Florine of River Meadow, on the Upland farm, F. R. Hagard proprie- tor, near Syracuse, N. Y, that produced 475 pounds of milk, 23 pounds 1 ounce of butter In seven days. This was an offi- cial test made at Cornwel university. will further state that all the while I was looking at and admiring this COW she was eating bright alfalfa hay. As stated in my paper on alfalfa last week. our south- ern farmers can hope for much from it. but they do not want to get excited and expect too much. It all depends upon how we'll it is managed as to profit, and this is true with all elovers and grasses.

MT. Folk Sees Roosevelt.

Washington, October S.-Joseph Folk, the city attorney of St. Louis, who has been active in recent months in the prose- cution of legislative and municipal wrong doers in Missouri, was guest of the President at luncheon today. MT. Folk has encountered some difficulty in the performance of his duties on account of the escape of few whose indictments he had secured into Canada and Mexico. He is anxious that the extradition treaties between those governments and the United States be so amended and strengthened as to admit of the return to this country of persons who have been indicted for bribery, embezzlement, etc. He desires that the President should take up the matter for consideration with Sec retary Hay.

MILLIONS FOR GOOD ROADS.

1t has been noted in these columns
that the Legislature of New York has
adopted an amendment to the consti-
tuition which, if ratified by the voters,
and it is said that there is no doubt of
its ratification, will give that State a
splendid system of highways, such as
no other State has. 1t is proposed to
spend from the State Treasury S., 900,
900 year for ten years on public roads
upon condition that the counties spend
a like amount. Thus in ten years
500, 900 would be spent on high
ways. This is an immense sum-suff-
cient to construct about 30, 900 miles OF
durable stone road.
Other States are awaking to the i'm
portance, the great value of good roads.
Pennsylvania will devote $4,000, 00C
from the State Treasury for road i'm
provement and Delaware, small State,
has made large appropriation fol
public roads. Some years ago New
Jersey set about building good roads,
being the pioneer State III such i'm
provements, and to-day 1t has better
roads than any other State. It's exper
iment, if it can be called an experiment
has proved highly satisfactory and pro
ftable. Real estate has greatly in
creased in value, farmers are delighted
and nobody would return to the ole
system of roads. Good roads cos
money, but they are worth all the,
cost when honestly and intelligentl7
constructed.

In Chicago Sc women are butchers,
129 are saloon-keepers, 1873 are iron and
steel workers, ], 444 are common labor
ers, 548 are physicians and surgeons
and 475 are BARRIERS and hairdressers.
The extent of their invasion of fields
formerly occupied exclusively by men
is shown by the fact that out of 8, 113
typewriters and stenographers, only
1862 are men, that the bookbinders
numbered !, 612 women and 1, 253 men,
while 1896 women and only 81 men
are paper box workers. The Tribune,
which took q census resulting in these
figures, adds that among the teachers
in the schools and colleges there are
1900 women and only 1,591 men. The
next thing Chicago is to have is daily
newspaper conducted exclusively by
women. The women are invading
nearly all fields. Why don't some of
them learn how to cook?

There is at least one lighthouse in

where a well supplies pure fresh water

water may be had for at least thirty
