Stephens cut the presents from the tree. His original remarks in presenting the presents brought forth peals of laughter, so the little folks did not mind at all that "Old Santa" went to the Presbyterian church. Little Miss Francis Hays flying goose and Little Miss Dorothy Stephens Foxy Grandpa afforded quite a bit of amusement. Francis goose flew against the stove and thereby received dislocated wing, but being only a goose and soaring high not in her line, she kept the fun going.

BIG SALE OF
 TIMBER LANDS.
Singer Manufacturing Company Makes Heavy Investment In Poinsett County
 Lands.

One of the largest land tran sections recorded in Arkansas in several years has just been con- summated. As the result the Singer Manufacturing Company of New Jersey becomes the owner of, 23, ,OO0 acres of fine timber Iahds in Poinsett county. The consideration was $225, 900.
 The vast tract acquired blythe big corporation is known as the Scotcherd lands lying in the northern part tf Poinsett county. It is one of the finest bodies of timber land in Arkansas, abound ing in cottonwood and gum.
 It is said that the company will establish a mammoth plant on the tract.
 It was learned on reliable authority that the company has been negotiating for the pu'- chase of about 10000 acres in Poinsett and Cross counties, but that so far 1t has acquired only the Scotcherd tract. Good judges say that the company has secured bargain in that acquisition, the price paid, about $10 an acre, being deemed cheap, considering the splendid timber and the good lands. At the same time, it is stated, Scotcherd & Son bought the 23, eco acres about two years ago for S108,000, and that during their possession they sold cotton wood from the tract to the amount of S70, ,000. Thus their profit is something like S187, 000.

Ii Hung chang's Tomb.

London, June 26.-Mail advices from
Pekin describe the final interment of
the remains of the late Chinese states
man, Iii Hung Chang, who died q
year ago last November. The remains
were placed in a tomb erected to his
memory near his native village in
Ngan Hwai province. His wife is
buried at the same spot.
Chinese astrologers made careful in
spection of the heavens to discover a
.propitious date for the burial. The
date was not found until recently. For
some time before the final laying away
of the body the casket containing the
remains lay upon the ground covered
with great purple mantle of silk, on
which the words, I" The Universe is
Mourning were embroidered inlet
ters Of gold. The tomb is surrounded
by palm, magnolia and other howering
trees, outside of these thick hedge
of beeches and an outside circle OF
pines.
Directly in front of the circle a huge
altar has been built which is covered
with candelabra, vases and golden
censers. On the door Of the tomb are
inscribed the words. He shook heaven
and upset earth. -
It is extremely difficult to gain ac-
cess to the last resting place OF the
great statesman, as a number Of his
relatives live in the neighborhood, and
with jealousy watch over the tomb.
