The many friends of Robert L.

be realized through the journey OF
life.-Thornton (Ark.) Recorder.
Geo. B. Ellis, Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, in a let
ter to the Mexico Ledger, says:
"The plan of road dragging recon-
mended by the Board of Agricul-
ture is SO simple that in places
where it has not yet been tried it
may not meet with the approval Of
the farmers, but wherever we can
get a stretch of road dragged &C
cording to the plan recommended
in the bulletin, it speaks for itself,
and after that it is an easy matter
to extend the work. We do not
claim that dragging the road will
make a perfect road under all con-
d%itions, nor will it take the place
of a gravel OF macadam road, but
it will make an improvement from
100 to 1000 per cent on our present
roads and give us a first-class
road for at least ten months in the
year and a passable road for the
entire year. And, further than
this, it will be an object lesson in
better roads and lead up to the
permanent improvement of roads
generally. We will be glad to
have your cooperation in EXTEND
ing this system, and will be pleas
ed to forward bulletins to any one
who is interested"
GA Chillicothe young woman
fiirted the other evening with a
middle-aged travelling man, who
at once caught on and took a
walk with the frisky young wo-
man." the Chillicothe Democrat re-
lates. GAS they rambled on he
questioned her as to the location
of her home and she showed him
the house, but when he asked her
to take him in she refused, saying
that she did not want her mother
to see her with a stranger. But
the travelling man insisted on
going in and, before she could
demonstrate, he had seized her by
the arm and hurried her up the
steps to the front door. An elder
ly woman responded to the sum-
mons. The travelling man inquir-'
ed if she was the mother of the
girl. Receiving IN affirmative re-
ply, the stranger gently led the
girl into the hall, and turning to
the mother, said: Madam, your
daughter lirted with me on the
street this evening and l have
brought her home to you. She
doesn't look like a bad girl and
she is altogether too young and
pretty to be on the streets alone at
night. | have a daughter of my
own about her age and l would
thank any man for doing what |
have done tonight, and so would
her mother. Take good care of
your daughter and don't let her
walk the streets at night, and teach
her the evil of flirting"
