TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:-

The rapid growth Of the tele.
phone business throughout the
State has resulted in the construc.
ton of lines along most Of the
public highways. As you undoubt-
edly know, these lines are for the
purpose OF giving yourself and
your neighbors telephone service
with adjacent communities, and
are Of themselves public neces-
sity and benefit. The highways
are primarily constructed and
maintained for the purpose OF
facilitating communication, and
are rightfully reserved for the gen.
eral benefit Of all the people. The
State, recognizing this fact, has
made all such roads public proper
ty and does not permit Of any in.
reference by private parties with
such highways.
While the telephone lines are
owned by . corporation, they are
used as a public utility. and any
interference with the m is . general
damage TO the community. II fany

PROMPT SETTLEMENT
 OF INSURANCE CLAIM

Weldon, Ark, July 30, 1904. To Whom it May Concern:
 This is to certify that we had our church house insured against fire and wind in the American Insurance Company of Little Rock, Ark, and the house was blown over in a storm. The company very promptly put it back at large expense in better condition and stronger than 1t was before the storm. We thank the American Insurance Company for it's promptness in replacing our church to our en- tire satisfaction, and we recom- mend the company to those who have houses to insure.

We are too busy today; we are too busy. We are too busy week in and week out.
 There is time for everything if we place the most important thing first. We are too busy over trivial matters to get the real good out of living.
 When we get over our hurry, we promise ourselves to begin to live. And we never get over our hurry.
 Some day we will live as we wish we cheat ourselves into believing. But the some day never comes. We come, we pass and we never know the joy of life. We have been too busy getting ready to live. Too busy always too busy. .-Ex.

DEATH OF OLD
 BATESVILLE CITIZEN.

MT. George Jobin, one of the older residents of the city, died at the residence of his son, Char ley Joblin, in this city at 8 o'clock Sunday night. MT. Job- lin was born on the Isle of Wight, on the 18th of May, 1886. At the age of 12 he removed with his fathers family to Canada, and in 1871 came with his broth CTS to Batesville, where he resided until his death. He was a stone-mason, and a good one; and a man who attended to his own business, and was respected and liked by all who knew him. His wife died two years ago. A son and three brothers Major A. H. Joblin of St. Louis and Messrs. Frank and Albert Joblin of this city survive him. He was buried Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the service being con- ducted by Rev. Dr. Bennett. - Batesville Guard.

TRAGEDY OCCURS
 IN POSTOFFICE.
Postmaster John Newman of Oldtown Shot and Killed by Jack Smith, River Man,
 After a Quarrel.

Helena, Sept. 15. John New man, the postmaster at Oldtown, a landing some twenty miles up the Mississippi river from here, was shot and killed by a river man named Jack Smith this morning at 7 o'clock.
 The men had trouble yester- day afternoon concerning the landing, which was kept by Newman, and it is claimed that this morning Smith renewed the quarrel and shot Newman through the body, the ball pass ing entirely through the unfor- tunate postmaster and through the wall of the postoffice. Smith then made his escape.
 The officers here were notified of the occurrence by telephone and Coroner c. F. Ford and a deputy sheriff at once left for the scene of the crime.

SENATOR BERRY
 ANNOUNCES, CANDIDACY.
Will Measure Strength With Da- wis In Next Senatorial Cam paign First Announce ment of His Candi-
 dacy.

Little Rock, Sept. 16.- While in the city yesterday Senator James H. Berry stated positively that he will be a candidate for another term, which means that he will measure strength with Gov. Davis, who is an avoWed candidate for the senatorship, to succeed Senator Berry in March, 1907. For some time there has been an element of doubt con- corning the intentions of the senator, and it has been stated that if he did not enter the race there would be others who would become candidates against Gov. Davis. A few days ago the Ga- zette mentioned a report to the effect that Congressman 5. Brundidge, Jr., of Searcy would enter the senatorial race in case Senator Berry did not seek an- other term. Much interest has attached to the senator's proba- ble course in the matter, and the announcement made by him yes- terday of his intention to ask another term will be read throughout the state as an lm- portant political item.
 Where the impression ema- mated that the senator might conclude not to run is not gen. orally known, It is supposed by many that the plurality plan adopted by the state convention at Hot Springs in June would have the effect of throwing a damper on all senatorial candl- dates save that of Gov. Davis. When asked about the matter Senator Berry's friends scout the idea that his candidacy could be thus affected.

TOO BUSY TO ENJOY LIFE

Are you too busy to live to- day? Is that the reason we put off living until tomorrow?
 There is a friend whom we should like to visit. The days, the weeks, the years go by and we have not called. The friend is taken away. We have put the visit off too long; we were too busy.
 There is pleasure to be found in a little trip to the country. It would rest the husband and mother and be a holiday to the children. But we are too busy. We put it off until some other time and that other time seems never to come. We are always too busy.
 ' There's a hundred little kind nesses we should do if we only had the time. The chances pass, the time never comes. We are too busy for the kindnesses.

eration and support of all con- cerned will be enlisted. While our sessions last year were fairly successful, all should strive to make the coming session better. First year pupils will be ad- mitted at three periods only, and all parents should take notice and cooperate. All children six years old, or reaching six during September will be admitted the opening of school; all pupils reaching six during December may enter school on Monday, Dec. 12, while those reaching six in March may enter March 14th.
 This rule is made in order to reduce the number of classes in this department, and thus facili- tate the work. In all other grades parents are urged to have children enter promptly, and to attend regularly.
