Speak the Good Word.

opedN tue 1000 Wcro.
It isn't the thinking how grateful we aro
For the kindness of friends come to bless
Our sorrow or loss
Meath the weight of the cross:
1t is telling our gratefulness
1t isn't the love that they have in theie
And neglect or forget to reveal,
That brightens the lives
OF husbands and wives:
1t Is telling the love that they feel
It isn't the thinking Of good 10 mankind
That comes cooling drink
To the famishing ones
OF Earth's daughters and sons:
1t Is telling the good that we think
1t isn't the music. asleep in the strings
OF the lutte, that entrances the ear
And brings to the breast
The spirit of rest;
1t Is only the music We hear.
It isn't the lilies We hide from the world.
Nor the roses we keep as our own
That are strewn at our feet
By the angels we meet
On our-way to the Great White Thrones
It isn't the silence of hope unexpressed
That heartens and strengthens the weak
To triumph through strife
For the great things of life:
It's the words of good cheer that we
speak.

A WIsh.

This only grant me-that my means may
lie
Too low for envy, for contempt too high.
Some honor / would have
Not from great deeds, but good alone
The unknown are better than i'll known:
Rumor can ope the grave
Acquaintance would have, but when't
depends
Not on the number. but the choice OF
friends.
Books. should. not business, entertain tbs
light
And sleep. as undisturb'd as death. the
night
My house cottage more
Than palace, and should fitting be,
For all my use. not luxury.
My garden painted DER
With nature hand. not arts; and pleas
ure yield,
Horace might envy in his Sabine field.
Thus would l double my lifes fading
space.
For he that runs it we'll. twice runs his
race.
And in this true delight,
These unbought sports. this happy state
I would not fear nor wish my fate
But boldly say each night
Tomorrow let my sun his beams display.
Or In clouds hide them; / have lived to-
day.

A MANURE SPREADER.

E. E. Bland of Sharon purchased
a manure spreader through II. H.
Fair on Monday. 1t is new i'm
plement only recently invented.
MIR. Bland first saw it at the World S
fair last summer and concluded to
have one. He is we'll satisfied with
it and thinks it is the thing for the
farmer who wants to fertilize his
land at moderate cost. 1t is the
first implement of the kind ever
shipped to Barber county and farm
ers in the vicinity of Sharon will
find it profitable to go and see it.
If the implement proves as success
full as its inventors claim it is, it
will not be long until every pro-
gressive farmer in Barber county
will have one.
Mr.. Bland has his farm inclosed
by substantial hog-tight wire and
ne proposes to fertilize it heavily
each year. He believes Barber
county soil second to none on earth
and says it it sure to produce boun-
tifully if the farmers will do their
part.

Captain Had Waited Long, and Made
Others Wait.
Col. Henry Cochrane, former com.
mander of the marine barracks at
League island, tells new story on
Rear Admiral Charles d. Sigsbee.
Until recently Admiral Sigsbee, now
president of the board OF naval exam
iners in Washington. was commandant
at League island.
Speaking of slow promotion in the
navy" said the colonel, reminds me
OF the retort the rear admiral made to
the navy paymaster just after he had
been advanced after long and pa
tient wait, from commander to cap
tain. He kept the launch which was
to take him to his ship waiting con-
siderably beyond the appointed mo-
ment. Every expected him to be on
the dot because it was his first order
to take charge of a vessel under his
new title.
when Capt. Sigsbee strolled nom
chalantly up. Paymaster Charles w.
Slamm, who was in charge of the
launch, surveyed the youthful COM
mander with critical impatience:
Captain he said, 'you-you have
just been promoted, and you-you
have made bad beginning. You have
kept the boat waiting ten minutes,
SIR
Be calm, Mr.. Slamm,' said the
new captain, with a tantalizing grin
and look directed at no one in par

A NICE ENTERTAINMENT.

Rathbone Sisters at the new K. OF
P. hall on South Main street last
Thursday night, was resplendent
with social and literary amusement
and the hearty fellowship of the
members and their guests was in
itself a beautiful exemplification
of the undying principles of these
two great fraternal organizations.
The marches and other ceremon-
les attending the installation serv-
ices were elaborate, bespeaking
much for those who participated,
but the Knights will pardon US for
again being compelled to admit
that the Sisters did a little better
and nicer work. The flower girls and
the concluding tableau were unus-
ually elaborate and imposing, and
this work on the part of the Rath-
bones was an occasion for especial
compliment. Preceding the tableau
Miss Mary Davis sang "The Holy
City III her usual charming man
ner, Miss Aline Dotson posing.
This feature was also very nice.
Addresses were made on behalf
of the knights by Chancellor Com
mander James B.. Gano and !. n.
Tincher. Mrs. Sim Ewalt spoke
on behalf of the Sisters.
After installation an elegant
luncheon and refreshments were
spread in the spacious banquet room
and the crowd devoted an hour to
probably the greatest enjoyment of
the evening, following which cards
were INDUCED until about 1890.
The knights have certainly rea-
son to feel proud of their new sur
roundings. Their building is 100
feet long and ~ wide. It is sub
divided into five roonls-the main
ledge room 6eNa2, an ante-room
about ISxI2, paraphernalia 18xI2,
abanquet room 22xI6 and kitchen
2ax6. The furnishings of the hall
embrace all the lodge owned be-.
fore moving, with a fine new brus-
sells carpet, and a new fire-proof
power gasoline lighting system ad-
ded. The total cost of the building
and new furnishings is about $I1oo.
The original cost of the building
was about $4,000.
The lodge is in a flourishing con-
dition. Nearly all of the suspended
members have re-instated and new
applications are being received at
the rate Of two and three a week.
AT the rate the membership is grow
ing it will not be long until it will
require three figures to express the

Must Arkansas Bar the Southern Got
 ton Association?

Moved by the commercial calam ity that recently befell the South the terrible drop in the price of eotton-a calamity that injuriously affects Us all, hundreds of South ern men have just met at New Or leans in the Interstate Cotton Convention with the purpose of bettering conditions in the cotton industry.
 Bettering conditions in the cot ton industry means getting high CT price for cotton. Therefore the question before the New Orleans Convention was simply this i: How can we raise the price of cotton:''
 This gathering organized the Southern Cotton Association. which is to embrace all the states that grow the staple. There are various incidental objects. but the main object Is to limit the produc- ton of cotton to such degree that the price must rise-say from G to 10 cents pound. The whole South Is to be organized by states, counties and smaller political di- visions, and every cotton grower is to be asked to sign pledge binding him to reduce his acreage in cotton g per cent.
 The Logan.King antitrust act which will go into effect in about six weeks, provides that
 Any corporation organized tn. der the laws of this or any other state or country, and transacting or conducting any kind of busi ness in this state, or any partner ship or individual, or other asso. citation of persons whatsoever, whc shall enter into any pool trust, agreement, combination confederation or understanding whether the same is made in this state Of elsewhere, with any other corporation, partnership, individ nal, or any person or association of persons to regulate or fix eithei in this state or elsewhere the pric, of any ............. commodity ............ oi thing whatsoever, or shall enter into any .-.a association ............. to fix or limit the amount or quan tity of any - commodity O ...,......... thing whatsoever ........... shall be deemed guilty of a con spiracy to defraud, and be subiec to the penalties as provided in thi act
 Since the Southern Cotton As sociation is, admittedly, to use tn, words of the Logan antitrust act an "assoeiationn ito regulate o Gx' the price of co.t9a and .'to
