CAMDEN, Hope and Arkadelphia

CAMDEN, Hope and Arkadelphia
are towns of about the same pcpula
ton, all three being cities OF the sec
ond class. There are saloons in
Camden, but none in Hope or Arka-
delphia From June /. 1905, to
June /, 1906, there were 80 more
arrests in Camden for drunkenness
than there were in both Hope and
Arkadelpha during the same period
for the same offense. AS the police
Of Camden are dominated by the sa-
loon influence it is reasonable to sup
pose that there were a large number
OF offenders who were not arrested al

ing to the figures Of experts it is esti-
mated that 100 acres in strawberries,

be about 100 crates to the acre. worth

about 5000 plants to set an acre Of

through the mails is:
''Millionaires will be created over
night, SO if you are at all inclined
toward the Fascinating and profitable
art of speculation why not get in
right and help yourself to a few slices
of the melons that are to be cut?
Opportunities will arise whereby
the wideawake speculator can make
$1,000 on an investment of 500, or $4,000

Norris and his father, George Norris,
were both killed and Joseph Richard
son was probably seriously shot during
quarrel between the three early today.
The elder Norris and his son were
working on their farm, which bordered
on that of Richardson, when an ar
gument arose as to where the dividing
point between their farms lay.
The younger Norris and Richardson
engaged in a scuffle and the father of
Norris drew a revolver and in attempt
ing to hit Richardson the bullet struck
his own son, who died several hours
later.
Seeing that he had missed his mark,
the elder Norris fired again, the bullet
striking Richardson glancing blow
on the head. The latter thereupon
picked up a shotgun near by and shot
and killed the elder Norris.
