CONTRACT LET.

An important called meeting of the directors of the Luxora. Evening Shade & Northwestern Railroad Company was held here yesterday at the office of the com pany, w. M. Connolly, secretary treasurer, and Dr. Kit Dalton arrived from Memphis last night.
 The progress reported is most flattering and the enthusiasm of the projectors was only exceeded by that of those property owners along the line of the road who now see an early outlet to general railroad connections.
 The contract for grading the first ten miles was let to H. P. Liston, who will begin the work immediately. Extensions are being surveyed and other grad ing contracts will be let as soon as the engineers in the field make their report.
 MT. Connolly was authorized to contract for steel rails and track laying material as well as locomotives and rolling stock for immediate delivery. Contracts for ties and timber were also let. Memphis News.

DELIBERATE PLAN
 TO MURDER.

Further developments go to prove that Enyart had deliber- ately planned to murder Ed Sum- mers last Monday morning. Sev- eral parties went out Sunday and made more careful search of the ground where the first shot was fired at Summers, and not more than forty yards from the place they found a fresh grave dug out at the head of the hol- low. The excavation had been made and the grave left in which the murderer no doubt intended to bury his victim. Summers states that Enyart tried to induce him to go near the spot, but the hill being very steep he declined to go down that way. Only a very short time after Summers refused to folloy Enyart down the( steep hill he dropped in be- hind him and made his fiendish attempt to murder him.
 4t now appears to be the settled coenviction of all who have made a1 investigation of the facts con- nd Ected with this matter that En- q lrt had no other motive in view
 han that of committing murder. Batesville Bee.

BRUTAL DEED
 OF A NEGRO.
Killed His Wife With a Poker and Then Poured Coal Oil Over Her and Ap-
 piled Torch.

Magnolia, March 3. John Harper, negro, is in jail here charged with killing his wife near Magnolia. He confessed his crime after being put in jail. He struck his wife in the head with poker, and she fell to the floor, and thinking she was not dead he poured coal oil on her and built a fire around her.
 After she had burned to a crisp he took the body, wrapped it in a quilt and buried it in the gar den. He told his neighbors she had run off and left him, but some of the negroes suspected that he had killed his wife and reported 1t to the officers, and the officers took two or three negroes to the house, and after a search found that she had been buried in the garden.
 A special term of court has been petitioned for in order to try the negro.

great popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip effectually, but prevents
these diseases from resulting IN pneu-

contains no opium or other harmful
substance and may be given as conf
IDENTIFY to a baby as to an adult. 1t is
also pleasant to take. When all of
these facts are taken into consideration
it is not surprising that people in
foreign lands, as well as at home,
esteem this remedy very highly aud
very few are willing to take any other

THE NARRACiANSETT kmALEJ.
turkeys in the state of Rhode Island
Unquestionably some of the best mar
ket turkeys produced in the world
have been sent out of Rhode Island.
The market statistics show that there
has been an active demand for turkeys
for many years past The records of
the winter of 1903-04 perhaps show the
highest prices that have ever been paid
for the turkey crop, which seems to
have been considerably less in proper
ton to the demand than for several
years past. The wholesale prices paid
in the western states ranged from 10
to 10 cents a pound dressed, with the
head. feet and entrails. The average
wholesale price as recorded in New
York for the past ten years has ranged
from to 20 cents a pound. Boston
shows a valuation higher than this in
a few instances only, and the Chicago
market has recorded from 6 to IS
cents.
Rhode Island turkeys sold at retail
in the markets of New York city and
Boston during the Thanksgiving and
holiday weeks Of last winter for
as high as 3S and 40 cents a pound,
while other turkeys could be bought
at 90 to % cents.
There is no other kind of live stock
according to Mr.. McGrew, that will
return so large a profit to the success
full producer as will poultry, and no
kind of poultry is more profitable than
turkeys when properly handled. The
fact that turkeys will, from the time
they are six weeks old until winter sets
in, gain the greater part of their entire
living from bugs, grasshOppers and
waste grain that they pick up in their
wanderings over the range assures
their existence through this period with
little cost to the owner. Turkeys are
now used not only for roasting, but tC
an increasing extent for cold cuts and
salads, and large numbers of late
hatched pOults are used for broilers in
the large cities.
The bronze turkey holds the post Of
honor in varieties. The Narragansett.

EARLY sOwn TurnipS.

Early sown turnips, especially
Swedes, are very apt to grow tough
and stringy. The usual cause is a de-
ficiency of phosphoric acid. Chemical
fertilizer containing this element in an
available form sprinkled along the
rows and worked in will do much to
correct their deficiency. The cheapest
form in which to purchase this element
is acid phosphate or dissolved pnos-
phate rock. A dressing Of 400 pounds
per acre will be sufficient.

The old Liberty mine was first To-
Gated in 1864 by J. P. Cortez & Co.
and has produced millions OF dollars.
The principal owners at the present
time are the Cramp Bros, shipbuid-
ers of Philadelphia. On the Bur
bank claim No. l OF the old mine,
there are thousands of feet of under
ground workings and the ore has
nearly always averaged 5000 a ton.
Adjoining the Liberty mine is the
Florence Extension mine which also
has rich Lodges of goodly size and has
considerable shipping ore on the
dumps. Thomas Fleming is the
president and general manager OF
this property, the other officers be-
ing John G. Keegan of San Francisco,
secretary and treasurer, H. L.
Moody of Truckee, vice president and
these with G. S. Gadsbi and Charles
Maunder constitute the board Of di-
rectors.
