remarked Representative Livingston, of
Georgia, while tafking to a group OF
friends in the cloakfCom,' relates the
Washington Times. AS q whole they
are generally pretty clever lot AMI
prepared for any emergency, and /
suppose that they make about as few
mistakes as the average run OF men.
Il shall neve. forget an incident
which happened several years ago in
Atlanta, and laugh now every time
think of it. A d2shing young womaa
came to Atlanta and engaged the
Swellest suite of rooms at the Kimball i,
and she sported diamonds as large as
walnuts and drove a four-in-hand. Ii
was given out that the young beauty
was Miss So-and-So, the cattle queen
of the west, and that sne had money

cows
led Bruffey. Of the Constitution, had
an idea that the woman was a fake
and he soon had the wires hot with
messages making inquiries about her,
the result being that he got corkine
good story to the effect that the wom-
an was the rankest kind of humbug
Bruff printed the story next morning
and it caused a genuine sensation, but
the woman never lost her grip, driving
out that afternoon with her fourin
hand.
Late that night Bruff was in the
lobby of the Kimhal talking to the
night clerk when the cattle queen
swished down the steps and, walking
up TO Bruff, asked if he was RESPONSE
BILE for the story in the Constitution.
az have that honor was his re-
ply.
Then, sir, am going to kill you,
almost yelled the woman, as she drew
gun from the folds of her dress.
This didn't alarm the little news
paper man in the least, but, lifting his
hat, he quietly remarked:
Fire away, madam; I had rather
be killed by a pretty woman any day
than to die a natural death
"Bruff won out, for the woman
laughed and retreated upstairs"

Artful Dodgers,

A Maine country doctor tells this
story On himself:
He responded one night to a note left
at his door by a farmer asking him to
go as soon as possible to see his little
boy, who was i'll with very bad cold
The doctor gave one look at the child
and asked severely:
Don't you know that your boy is COM

Yes replied the wife, Il knpwed

'"rhen what in the world did you piean

FIRST HONORS AT ST. LOUIS
Arkansas Apples Take Valuable
 Prizes at the Worlds Fair.

Arkansas has again been placed in the front rank in the matter of Worlds Fair awards on fruit. In the awards in the horticultural department of the Worlds Fair, Arkansas captured 2O9 medals. A grand prize on fruit, eight gold medals, AT bronze medals.
 Beside this a special gold medal of merit was presented to Senator J. P. Logan as superin- tendent of the horticultural de- partment.
 Arkansas is the only state win ming a grand prize on fruit. Some other states won grand prize, but it was on the furniture and elaborate finishings termed installation.
 The Arkansas fruit exibit was a marvel from first to last and has been the subject of much praise, not only from the mul- tiplied millions who visited the fair from all parts of the globe, but from those who had charge of the fruit exibits from the diff ferent states, and the Worlds Fair managers as we'll.
 Much of the honor thus won by Arkansas is due to the efforts of the Hon. John P. Logan, superintendent of the horticul- tural display, who has made 8 grand effort along this line.

A Great Enterprise,

On visit to Alpena a few days ago the writer was shown through the Il big plant of the Fayetteville Wagon, Wood & Lumber Go, through the courtesy of the e9nterprlslng manager, W. French.
 The plant is outside of the town limits, being situated just over u the line in Carroll county, where the company owns forty acres of land upon which the big lumber yards, sheds and the office are located. The company has con- structed it's own switch from the railroad.
 The building is 14Ox18O feet with a 2O-fo platform in the 1ront and rear, arranged so as to be a model of convenience for the purpose for which it is used. Upon the large trucks they use, two men can move 1000 feet of lumber at time.
 MT. French informed us that they have several mills in this and Newton counties. The lum- Der is all manufactured at the mills, being handled only at Alpena as point for loading cars. The hauling gives employ ment to many people. Farmers residing in the vicinity of the mills can be employed all the time not engaged in their crops.
 There is now in stock at Alpena something over 5,000,000 feet of lumber, embracing the varieties of oak, ash, hickory and linn, which Mr. French declares is as fine as can be found in any state in the Union.
 G. F. Mandt of the Mandt Wagon Co. of Stoughton, Wis.,, who has inspected the Alpena plant, reported to the stockhold- CTS of the company that he had seen many warehouses and stock rooms, nicely kept but that he had to confess that this is the most neatly kept and contains a stock of cleaner and better uni- formity than any stock house he had heretofore had the COOd for tune to see. This certainly speaks well for Mr. French, as of the company's affairs at this point.
 Mr. French has been in the of the company for eight years in this and other states. He has charge of the office, yard work and all. He takes great pleasure in showing visitors through the big plant.

HUNG AFTER HE WAS DEAD
Unprecedented Proceeding Oyer
 in Independence County.


 If the statement of a repre- sentative of the Arkansas Dem ocrat who was present, is true, the execution of Causby at Batesville two weeks ago Friday was anything but creditable to the officers of that county.
 He says that one phase of the execution is prominent: The law officers were all anxious that Causby be executed if there was the slightest spark of life re- maining in him at the time of the execution. To them it made no difference what his physical condition might be. They just wanted him hanged, and the prosecuting attorney expressed his sentiments more forcibly than humanely when he said with an oath that they might as we'll hang him crazy as in any other condition of mind.
 When Il O clock came, the time set for the execution. the sheriff decided that Causby should be hanged, although the attending physician, told him that the man would probably die before he could reach the gallows, and in any event could not live more than an hour or two. But as they were "bound to have hanging," this only served to spur the sheriff and his aids to renewed activity, and so at 11:30 Causby was taken from the jail, and put in an om- nibus with q number of guards and driven to the gallows at the foot of Main street. He died upon the way, but as they were "bound to have a hanging" and as the crowd of several thousand that had come to town must not be disappointed, his limp body which had not yet assumed rigor mortis, and could not be SUD- ported by men to adjust the moose, was strapped to board, moose placed around the neck, and the poor lifeless clay pushed off to dangle in the air in order to satisfy the thirst for venge- ance in the breast of some of the friends and relatives of Jeff Morgan.
 There was no lack of criticism among the better class of citizens at the hard -heartedness, to use no harsher term, of all who were connected with the last scenes of this most unhappy case. It will be many days before this scene is wiped from the minds of the people of Batesville.

PROSPERITY IN EVIDENCE
Many Things Contributiuo tn the Growth of Green Forrest

If
 the Growth of Green Forest.
 THE TRIBUNE feels justified al the present time in boastino that there are more elements combined for the up-building of our town and country than have ever before been in evidence.
 The interests of Green Forest are now represented by a great CT per cent of enterprising busi ness men than it has had at any time previous in it's history Our town has been distinguished from other towns in this respect for several years, but the enter. prising class never so thoroughlv predominated before as at the present. Not only are many of our people in business now per- sistent advertisers, but their stores are as a rule more neatly kept than ever before. The class of goods handled are gen. orally better, and the reputat ion ofthe town as the best place to trade is being sung far on the outside of the bounds of what would naturally be our trade territory.
 This fact is contributing a large share toward perpetuating the substantial growth that has been prevailing for the past two years, and the person is indeed blind who cannot see that Green Forest is destined from com mercial point to lead among the towns touched by the St. L. 6 N. A. railroad.
 Already we have the lead in the matter of educational facili- ties. Aside from the perma- ment esta blishment of a thorough normal school with a capacity at present of 500 pupils, we now have nearing completion one of the very finest brick public school buildings in this portion of the state.
 People at home, as a rule do not fully appreciate the extent the era of prosperity and the ex- cellent future prospects which we are now enjoying. There is scarcely no limit to what may be anticipated for the future growth and prosperity of both country and town, when one figures up all the elements that can be brought to bear to make this producing country.
 As yet the fruit industry is in it's infancy. In fact, it may hardly be said to be that far ad- vanced, since there is scarcely one acre Of orchard now where a hundred may be expected within the coming few years. There is no room for argu- Nlfpnt upon the question, the lxme is coming when practically all of the country will be plant ed to fruit. That is a foregone conclusion with every person who has noticed the trend of events since the advent of the railroad four years ago.
 People who are not prepared for rapid advancement of the country during the coming few years would as we'll clear the track. Like the negro who got scared in the cemetery and start -....sss:s -: run, preceded by a spright- ly cotton tail. For some little distance, the rabbit staid in the path ahead, but the fright of the negro became so intense that the rabbit got in his way. Brushing the animal aside the Negro remarked: "Ef yo' halnt wine ter run, get out ob de way m let CT pusson run dat kin (un.'
