PRISONER HIRED
 UNHAPPY HOME.

A Poplar Bluff prisoner named William Whitney only made his lot a worse one Friday night in setting afre his temporary home, the city jail. He is an old riverman, employed on the gov ernment snag boat, and don't stand much in awe of the fires of Hades, or he would not have been so drunk, nor in bodily ter TOT of a little blaze, or he would not have sought to thus burn the barriers to freedom.
 But, anyhow, the fire laddies responded promptly, and the riv- CT rat failed to lay in ashes the cold walls of the city bastile. ln- stead, he was called up next morning to pay fifty plunks for being drunk and remanded to his happy home for the next term of circuit court, charged with arson.

BETTER SERVICE FOR
 WHITE RIVER BRANCH.

A new time card will go into effect on the White River Route Sunday, January 8, says the Cot ter Courier. The passenger will leave Cotter, south bound, at about eight in the morning, arriving in Newport at 3 o'clock, and train will leave Newport each morning at 8, arriving at 3. The trains will pass at Mt. Olive. The change was made necessary by the heavy increase in traffic, which the train crews, under the present schedule have not the time to handle properly. By the new time card connec- tions will be made at Newport with all St. Louis and Little Rock trains. The change will be of decided advantage to the company, the public and to Cot ter.

Dear Sir: If you paint two houses alike with two different paints, and one takes twice as much paint as the other, you know which paint to buy after that so far as go-far goes don t you?
 One of these paints is Devoe; the other is any average paint. The worst are worse than that; the better are not much better; no other paint than Devoe is anywhere near Devoe in go-far. Devoe is go further; the rest are go-short. go-middling and go- three-quarters.

WHAT THEY SAY.

The mob violence which culmi- mated in the hanging of Allwhite ht1Newport last Saturday is an- other demonstration of the peo-
 ple's disregard for law. There is no doubt but that the courts would have dealt promptly with |the murderer and no one could have the least apprehension about Justice being meted out. The punishment was not more than the man deserved, but when a class of men become so blood- thirsty that they set at defiance the supreme law of the land it is a sad reflection upon the citizen ship of the community. The mob that hung Allwhite and the mob that would have hung Crosby of this county but for the brave stand of some of our citizens was prompted by the same spirit as was the mob that followed Jesus through the Streets of Jerusalem crying ';, "crdrify Him.

Mister Editor.-I see the jackofoby
Is busting loose agin. Histry is a

Ranches and hollers out .'Oh grab me

is now with the Grabbit Raft.
But one of them skelp hunters seq
1.-The jax is a bitin' me. They hev
done ct up my sorgum patch; took
the hole thing from stem to gudgeon,
stead of nippin' round permikus like. ~
1t makes me think of old times
When me and my late demented hus-
band first come to this country we
was goin' into the forestry bizness.
We brought peck of Kicker nuts and
things and planted ZEN, but ding my
store teeth if them pesky jax didn't
eat the nuts often our trees as fast as
they come up! Or mebbv twas the
golfers. NY pore pardner said we lost
i've hundred Thousand million dollars,
sides the nuts we should have had to
throw at the jax and cotton-bobs. 1t
was awful blow. 1t broke his hart
and he's ded.
l. Jax is thicker some places than
others; speshly thick IN Trego.
2. Jax is more peskv some seasons
Than others, regardless of bounty.
j. Some seasons the jax die of their
own accord. Or mebbY it's the Bills
tiers.
A. Just as many jax will be shot up
thouten the skelp bounty.
8. One way it's sport and the other
it's graft.
g. The graft makes the taxpayer
put up for the amnishun on the ay-
ridge, He shells out for the shells.
Z. The best and busiest farmer is
the poorest shot.
8. The biggest skelper is the small
est taxpayer.
g. 1t would be cheaper to pay him
in oyster soop and make the soop out
OF the jack. If he has stummick
trubbel let him sell the lax and buy

10. The more you shoot up the lax
the worse they bites. If YOU shoot
'em up enough 1 shouldn't wonder if
they ct up iron bridge or two. 1t
would be cheeper to nockelate the
golfers with hiderfogy and let the
golfers bite the jax.

of it were bad. In regard to the 80

"Cut it out" Get a rock pile or some

That's q Fact.

A town that never has anything to
do in public way is on the road to
the cemetery, says an exchange Any
citizen who will do nothing for his
town is helping dig the grave. A man
that curses his town furnishes the
coffin The man who Is so selfish as
to have no time from his business to
give to city affairs is making the
shroud- The man who will not adj
vsrtise is driving the hearse. The
man who Is always pulling back from
any public enterprise throws boquets
on the grave. The man who is so
stfngy and selfish as to be bowling
hard times, breaches the funeral and
sings the doxology i; and thus the town
lies buried. free from all sorrow and
Sentinel.
