BRIDGE TIES FALL
 UPON WORKMEN
Three Men Badly Injured in the
 Railroad Yards at Cotter.

Cotter, June 15. Three men were seriously injured, one of them probably fatally, in an ac- cident in the material yards here today. A pile of bridge ties against which the men were standing suddenly fell upon them.
 George Martin, a driver for the Reynolds Construction Company, sustained serious injuries about the back and was also hurt inter nally. His injuries are feared to be fatal.
 J. c. Wallace of Pittsburg, Kan, was injured internally and his arm was badly cut and bruised.
 E. A. Osborn of Dublin, Ark, was internally injured and both legs were broken below the knee.
 It is considered almost a mira cle that all hree men were not crushed beneath the heavy ties. They were resting in the shade of the ties when without any warning the pile toppled over upon them.

 The Story.

There is a big difference be- tween the cost of making a first class sewing machine, embodyino the best materials and workman ship, and one which is made in the cheapest manner. The buyer of the cheap machine soon pays the difference of price in the constant cost for repairs, to say nothing of it's annoying ineficiency.

gion famous for centuries, Is hun
dreds Of years behind the present age
in methods of living and conducting
simple industries. This fact is strik-
ingly exempliied in the primitive
ways the natives follow in making
leather and shoes. When a farmer
kills his beef he takes the hide to the
local tanner, who will keep it Tor two
years before he considers 1t fit for the
shoemaker. When the hide is leather
the shoemaker is informed of the fact.
Then some morning the shoemaker
comes to the farmers house with his
