Obituary.

Tabitha NJ. Alexander Craw- ford, wife of Samuel (. Craw- ford, was born in Morgan County, Mo-, April r, 1857, was united in natrimony Nov. 21, 1877, and departed this life November g, 19o4.\ To this union were born three children-one son and two daughters, to-wit: Luke, Matte and little Ney, who passed away some years ago.
 In tile death of sister Crawford the husband loses a kind and lov- ing companion, the children all atfeetionate and warm hearted mother, the church one of her brightest lights, of which she had lived an humble. faithful and pious member for about twelve years, being ever ready and help ful i'll the advancement of the Masters cause, which she loved so dearly and to which she was so humbly devoted, whose ex- amples was worthy the emulation of the most noble and faithful of Gods children and whose council and instruction was always in keeping with the word of inspira- tion.
 Our honored and beloved sister will be greatly missed not only i'll the home circle, but in the church and community as well. But to the bereaved husband and heartbroken children We would say not to mourn for her as for those who have no hope, for truly she departed this life in triumph of living faith, patiently wait ing the call of a loving Savior to enter through the pearly gate into the city of our God, whose streets are paved with pure gold, where God and the Lamb are the light of the city. Peace to her sleeping dust.

HARMON.
Foo late far last week. l

Perhaps some of OUT readers do not know where Harmon Is sit uated. I will try and give an outline as briefly as possible. Harmon is 10 miles southwest of Springdale, located on the head of big Wildcat, three miles west of little Wildcat, backed off up the hollow from where DeSoto made his famous charge against the Redskins i'll an early day. The village of Harmon is quite business place, especially of a rainy day. There is one store, blacksmith shop, half dozen old-fashioned log cabins, built some time between Washington and Mekinley's administrations. Harmon is noted for its cold springs, and loafers, cool shades and sweat bees. For a summer resort 1t can't be beat. For win ter 1t is hardly equalled. For fear l am taking too much of the readers time l will ring off and tell you more about Harmon some other time.
 Since the strong demand for furs. coon dogs and hounds are selling, in this part from five to ten dollars each,
 Sam Myers says he has a span of mule colts, that lie would ex- change for a pair of promising young hound pups.
 The sports around Harmon. has declared war against the rab- bits, They organized com pany last Saturday and app6int- cd Jeff Brown as captain. Promptly at lo'clo5k they march ed out to the battlefield, each man armed with an old mus5et, loaded with grape and canister. After -Four hours desperate fight ing, their ammunition became exhausted and Brown and his brave soldiers had to retreat. Capt Brown nevef lost any men. bHt from all reports l think there were several wounded Mn Rah= bit@ losses were small two killed. another wounded.
 Tlr Roper Bros. have returned  from fur trading tour out East. They say the people out there don't know that Roosevelt is President of the L. $, or Jeff Davis governor of Arkansas, but they can tell the sixteenth part oI= =a cent what coon hide is worth in St. Louis

WIVES ON CHRISTMAS TREES
Strange Christmas Customs That
 Prevail In Pnrfs of Russia

Of all Christmas tree customs, one of the strangest prevails in parts of Rus sia. 4 gift tree is set up in the village, on the branches of which roost young unmarried women cloaked and hooded and yelled so that their identity Is con cealed The sWains are admitted one by one, just as they are in our familiar American game of "spat in, spat out" Each as he enters lifts a veil-of course at random-and the face thus disclos- cd belongs to his future wife. The act of lifting the veil hetroths the couple, the penalty for breaking the engage ment being a heavy fine to be paid into the village treasury.
