Ed Jones, a defensless negro at

A ROMANTIC WEDDING.
A Pair Of Sixly-Five- Year-0lds Resort to
Strategy and are Married in
Spite Of Objections From
Brides Relatives.

A wedding full of romance, the
principals in which have both
seen the SHOWS Of sixty-fiv win
ters, was celebrated in Yell coun-
ty last week. Joseph Chandler
and Mrs. Maggie Leggett, wild
ow, decided to marry, but met
with the sternest sort of opposi-
ton from the prospective BRIDES
daughter and son-in- law, who
even went so far as to seize and
lock up the old lady's best cloth
ing. The clothes were promptly
replevined in the justice court.
The aged lovers then hit upon
the scheme of a secret wedding
at the home of mutual friend,
but this failed, for the old lady's
daughter, getting wind of the
plans, sent her mother a bogus
telegram in which she was told
that one Of her children was dam
gerously i'll at Memphis, and the
old woman hurried to Memphis,

of course--or thought she would.
But "Uncle Joe" had been busy
himself, and, by outwitting the
objectors to his happiness, took
the same train that was carrying
his bride-to away. He soon
convinced her that the telegram
was fake, and the rest was
easy. They left the train at Ola,
where they were married. The
old couple returned to Danville
a few hours later, much to the
astonishment and chagrin of the
brides relatives.

Circuit Judge Rowe created
quite a sensation at Fort Smith
last week by his instructions to
the grand jury. He gave vigor-
Gus instructions against the illegal
sale of intoxicants, and concluded
by telling the jury that the
merchant who sells a hat or pair
Of suspenders on Sunday has
violated the law also and should
be indicted. The Judge declared
that the fashionable folk who
play whist and euchre for prizes
are just as guilty of gambling as
the man who plays poker for
money, and should be indicted
just as quickly. Judge Rowe
told the grand jury that the law
was to obeyed by all alike, and
not by any particular class or set.
There are apt to be developments
around Fort Smith tending to
prove the Judges statement.

Charles Jacobson, private
secretary to Governor Davis, was
in ST Louis a few hours one day
last week, en- route to Washing
ton, and the Republic devoted
considerable space to his presence
in the city, and, among other
things, said:
"Gen. Jacobson, who has bee n
officially associated with Gov,
Davis from the time he beg an his
eventful and successful public
career, is a Missouri boy, native
of Pennington. He has managed
all Of Gov. Davis campaigns and
is said to be the author of the
famous anti-trust bill which was
recently responsible for the with
drawal of all the foreign fire in
surance companies from Arkan-
sas."
The authorship of the famous
anti trust act has been lain at
the doors of several prominent
citizens, but this is the first IN
stance, so far as we know, in
which Charlie Jacobson has been
accused. Guilty or not guilty,
Cen. Jacobson?

EARLY HISTORY.
"reminiscences of the Settlement of Evening Shade and
Immediate Vicinity by c. W-AShayer, Pioneer

We came there were no mules in
this country. There was great
deal more beef eaten then, ac-
cording to the number of people,
than }How, and dried beef in the
late $ .mmer, fall and early winter
was Plentiful and used by nearly
all fanilies. Later on, speculat-
lors Fame in the country and
bought the beef cattle to drive to
markdt, which advanced the price
some for such cattle as would
make good beef. When gold
was discovered in California in
1849, fhe price of cattle was ad-
,vanfed considerably. We
thought then that work cattle
reached a high price, when a
pair OF oxen would readily sell for
forty Or fifty dollars. Soon all
the surplus cattle were bought up
and driven out of the country by
speculators and amigrants goin g
to the western gold fields.
Hogs were easily raised, but
very little attention was given
to them. Farmers usually raised
just what was needed at home,
and thai was not much for the
woods we're full of wild meats,
which vas very easily captured.
Cattle iar beef were cheap and
easy to get, consequently there
was litt}e hog flesh used. Oc-
casionasy a farmer would fatten
some pa 3 and carry it to Bates
Vile es.y,s61!a- -Gr as9s~r nawcoiaor.
would sometimes want to buy
some pork or bacon. There was
always fine range for hogs the
whole year, such as grass, roots
and mast. The mast scarcely
ever failed in those days, and
most Of the pork used was killed
in the woods after having fattened
on the mast. Stock hogs were
never fed corn unless the snow
lay on the ground a long period.
At that time there was no hog
cholera or other diseases to de-
stroy hogs.
Horses in those days were very
cheap. The usual price for a
fairly good horse was about
twenty-five dollars, and it had to
be a real good horse to bring forty
dollars. Horses and cattle were
very easily raised on account of
the good range. For nearly
three-fourths of the year, horses
and cattle would live well on the
grass.

Furskins, peltries and dry hides
were generally a good price, for
they we're at all times in great
demand. And in those days we
would have to pay from 10 to %
cents a yard for yard wide brown
domestic, and about the same
price for cahcoes, from s to 10
cents pound for cut nails and
from 8 to 9 cents for bar iron.
Prices for other goods were in
proportion.
In the fall of 1916, j. D. Card
we'll came into this settlement
from Crowley's Ridge, Poinsett
county, and stopped in a little
round log house just north OF
Strawberry, on the now ASH Flat
road, in what is now W. II.
Prices field. In the spring of
1946, Joshiah Richardson moved
TO this neighborhood and made a
crop on what is now the Andy
Metcalf farm, one and a half
miles south of Evening Shade,
on the Batesville road. The next
year ne moved out south of Sid
ney and settled on a place near
what is now the Mt. Carmel brick
church, living there number of
years. He died about two years
ago near Melbourne, lizard coun-
ty, at the age Of nearly one hun
dred years. In the fall of 1916,
or early spring of 1S47, Spencer
Berry came into this settlement
and settled and opened up a little
far n on the branches where the
late John S. Medley's mill and
residence are now situated.
Cattle were very cheap and
plentiful, considering the number
Fof people that lived here. Back
in those days fairly average
milch COW and calf sold for five
dollars, while a very good milch
COW and calf would sell for as
much as seven dollars. A pair
of work oxen would bring from
twenty to twenty five dollars;
sometimes a large pair would sell
for thirty dollars. Cattle were

consumption, and oxen were
used entirely for hauling purposes
and for breaking ground in the
spring, Everything that was
moved on wagons or by wagons

THE GROUND Cuckoo.

Remarkable Cunning It Displays In
Catching RnttIerS.
One Of the most interesting geological
oddities is the California ground cue
koo. He usually is from twenty to
twenty-five inches long, including his
tail, which measures one-half of his
whole length. On account of his small
wings he is a poor tiier, but what he
lacks in aerial dexterity he makes up
in pedestrian velocity. With his four
yard jumps he can outrun the swtftest
race horse. His geographical range
is confined to southern California,
Mexico and some parts of Texas. AS
a bird of prey the ground cuckoo out.
wits his most avidious fellow crea-
lures. Snalls and large worms consti-
tute his principal food, which he is
busy all day in digging out Of the
ground But he does not hesitate to
attack larger animals. 1t Is no trou-
BILE for him to get the better Of small
snakes, and when domesticated he
beats any cat or dog in the eXtermina-
ton of mice and small house pests.
Most curiously interesting is the
strategic sagacity he displays in the
capture of large rattlesnakes. These
he dare not meet in fair and open
combat. AS soon as he espies a rattle
snake sleeping In the sun near Il Gao
tus hedge he surrounds his victim with
a heap Of the prickly leaves until he
is well hemmed in. He then prIcks
at the reptile II few times with his
sharp bill, which causes n sudden com
motion in the cactus heap. In his at
tempt to disentan3le himself from the
leaves he wounds his tender flesh. and
it takes but an hour or two for the
average RATHER to die OF sheer ex-
haustion and furnish much coveted
tldbIt for the sly cuckoo. His meth
Cd with his prey resembles that of the
cat with the mouse.
