LETTER TO MIR. J. s. HARVEY
 SYMPTOM, ARK.

Dear Sir: We suspect you'd like the tale, how a woman beat two hardware dealers in Girard, Pa.
 We tried our best to get those men to sell Devoe lead-and-zinc in that bright town; and failed. Reluctantly took Mrs. E. R. Bow man, druggist.
 They said they couldn't sell paint for more than SIPS 9 gal lon. Mrs. Bowman can. She has sold about all the paint that has been sold there since.
 She knew Devoe; had sold our artists materials. Had some sense and force, besides; she easily learned that cheap is dear in paint, and told the people.
 MT. Burt Young bought a gal lon Deyoe for rooms that had al- ways taken gallon of other paint; had half left.
 MT. E.. H. Hiler, jeweler, painted Devoe, and says it goes further no particulars,
 Mir. John Hanna, grocer, thought it expensive before he bought it; brought back nearly half his paint, and said it was the cheapest job he ever had.
 Mrs. Bowman reports uniVer- sal satisfaction. So much for a cheap paint-town with a bright woman in it.
 Yours truly

FRIDAY " s
 HANCMAN'S DAY.
Pink Williams Pays Penalty at Helena and Bill Jones at
 Walnut Ridge.

Helena, Apr1l l5. At ll:30 this morning Pink Williams, a negro, was legally executed in the rear of the Phillips county jail, paving the penalty for one of the most revolting crimes that has ever been recorded in this county. A The death warrant was read to Williams at l1.25 and as the march to the gallows was begun through a drizzling rain, the con- 9demned negro began singing a hymn, which he kept up until the black cap was adjusted. As the rope was placed about his neck he cried Farewell, farewell, in a voice loud enough to be heard a block, these being the last words spoken by him.
 The crime for which Williams paid the penalty was committed on October "A, last year. Court was in session at the time. He was arrested, tried and convict ed and sentenced to be hung within four days after commit ting the deed, thus establishing a record for swift justice in this county. An appeal was taken 4 of an alleged irregulari- ~ sn the jury selected, but the decision of the lower court was affirmed and on March 12 Gov. Davis set the date for carrying out the sentence. Williams kill ed his wife because she did not have supper prepared when he returned from town, where he had spent the day drinking, the crime being committed on the r.s. MEs7Isn, nine miles from town. The woIhan was expect ing to give birth to a child at al most any moment when she was shot down by the drunken hus- band, thus making the crime all ahe more revolting.
 Walnut Ridge, April 15. Bill Jones, a negro, alias Jim Feath- erstone, paid the penalty of death here today by hanging. Jones was raised in Franklin county, Tennessee, where he lived until four years ago. On December ,, 1903, he killed Asbury Hoskins in 3 drunken crap game. He as- cended the scaffold at 2 pm. to- day, without tremor. He had nothing to say, except Good bye. The fall failed to break his neck, and death was the result of strangulation. Twenty minutes after the drop he was pronounce ed dead. Although it had been announced that this would be a private hanging, only the guards and physicians to be present, still there must have been 1,500 per sons assembled to witness the. execution. The last legal hang ing in Lawrence county was in 1875.
