F ROM BLACKTON.
Blackton Ark, May, 9th, 1906

Considerable rain, in fact too much has fallen lately and being followed by very cool spell, is causing much of the crops to be planted over.
 Mrs. Sid. Aldr.ch is still very sick.
 A Mir. Bonds, from Monroe, was buried at the White Hall grave yard near this place one day last week.
 Drs. Syler and Carter, of Holly Grove, passed through Blackton on the ten o'clock train Tuesday, the 8 inst, sn route to Hot Springs to attend a physicians meeting which is being held in that city this week.
 There was no preaching at Black ton last Sunday evening owing to the continues rain.
 pr. Miller. our town physician, has been very busy for some time. The loctor has a very large practice and is yell liked by all who know him. He s regarded as kind hearted and sympathetic something that can not be said about all doctors.
 Some of the young boys about Black on who have been in a habit of un- houghtedly using profane and abusive language say they expect to quit it others saYit is noto iys business wha hey do. Now boys just stop and think for once? Did you ever hear of mar who was wanting young man to fill z position of trust going out among the toughs who use all kind of profans language to get him3 no; but to thu contrary, the first inquiry is as to hi! morals; and what is true of an individ ual is no less true by the masses | The people absolutely refuse to con l fide in men who have no self respect As local news is scarce, will close Tor this week.

Street Grading.

The county road grader. in charge of s. T. Holloway. began the work oi grading the principal streets of Brink ley the first of this week. The grad ing was begun on New Orleans Ave nue. Several days will be put in on the streets and if good weather pre- vails, the work will be very effective. The grader puts a road or street in first rate condition.
 If this work can be followed up by "honeing "a method found very ef- fective as well as economical wherever tried-our. streets can be kept in re- spectable condition the year round Or if the citys street grader can be used every few months. that would be 2 great help toward maintaining the streets.
 The work of filling Cypress street was also resumed the first of this week. The street is being raised several inches.

 Sidewalk building is steadily pro- gressing. Several contracts have lately been completed by C. B. Manly for different citizens in the north end of the town, cn New York Auenue and Main street. Contractor Manly also completed a walk "Wednesday in front of the J. L. Shoecraft property on Main street. One very pleasing fea- ture of the effectiveness of the side walk oadinance is that many who were at first bitterly opposed to the measure have voluntarily built walks and are. now among the strongest advo- .cates of granolith walks Others who were also opposed to walks have de- clared their intention of building very soon. There is now practically no O. position.
 Druggist and Mrs. E. H. Con verse were in blissful ignorance of danger by the wind storm last Friday night which played rather unusal trick. A black gum tree about 20 or 24 inches in diAmeterywhich stood ? few feet from the front poarch of MT. Abramsohn's house next door to the Converse home, was partially blown down. The tree lodged against the top of the A6ramsohn poarch at an angle of almost AS degrees. If the porch had been fewfect further away the tree would have gained such mo nentum that the support would have been insufficient and in all probability would have crashed into the Converse nome. MT. Converse was not aware of the matter until informed of it at the store about 8:3O o'clock Saturday morning. Workmen were at once se- cured who stripped the tree of its limbs and attached guy rope near the top to draw it awayfrom the house. The work of cutting the tree and throwing it across Main street was completed Monday morning under the supervision of Charlie Myers.

KEEPING TAB
On THE WORLD
Concluded from page 7,

cultivating the soil as to store up and
retain the rain and SHOWS right in the
ground over which they fall. This is
done by applying diligently and with
out let up two principles-frst, the sur
face of the land must be kept loose
and finely pulverized, which forms
soil mulch that permits the rains and
melting SHOWS to percolate readily
through to the compacted soil beneath
and at the same time prevents the
moisture stored in the ground from
rising to the surface by capillary at
traction to be absorbed by the hot, dry
air; the second principle is to keep the
subsOil finely pulveriZed and firmly
compacted, increasing it's water hold
ing capacity and capillary attraction
and placing it in the very best physical
condition for the termination of seeds
and the growth of plant roots There
is a newly invented machine used for
the latter process, called a subsoil
packer, and this follows close behind
the pillow, which is put to work imme-
diately after the crop is harvested, and
the narrowing which follows the pack
ing is repeated after every rainfall, no
matter how far from the time of plant
ing the next crop. 1t is said that mil
lions of acres in the western states
which are now utterly useless or good
only for grazing purposes could by dry
farming be brought into a state of
higher cultivation than is attained by
irrigation and with vastly less expense.
The Science of Lovemaking.
According to the July number Of Cur
rent Literature, the University of Lon
don has appointed Edgar Schuster to
the Cation research scholarship in nat
uraI eugenics, the object Of which is to
carry on Investigations into the histo-
ries and classes of families. The sci
ence Of eugenics, of which DR.. Francis
Cation is the founder, is the study Of
agencies that may improve or impair
the racial qualities of future genera
tons physically and mentally. 1t is no
longer regarded as true that any one
loves any one as a matter of chance.
Investigations already show that GER
tain kinds Of people tend to attract
certain kinds and that like is attracted
by like rather than unlike Again,
while some kinds of people tend to
marry frequently, others tend to be
left unmarried owing to certain well
defined influences. Sexual selections
follow definite and ascertainable laws
The eugenic ideal is the reasoned mani
festation of the natural instinct and
will be absorbed into the conscience of
the community as a religion and will
lead men and women to reject as part
ners only the men and women who are
naturally unfit-the diseased, the alb
normal, the weaklings-and conscience
will be on the side of impulse.

Quarters For Fowls.

If any new houses are to be built for
fowls they should be finished SO as to
get the pullets into winter quarters by
Oct 1. Don't put in glass windows;
try muslin ones. They are cheaper
and much better for the fowls. If pos
sible, have a concrete floor, SO as to
keep out the rats; otherwise a board
floor is best. Face the house southeast
or south, and if it is to be a shed roof
building have the low side to the
north. Be sure to give plenty of floor
space to the birds. A pen II by y feet
is just the right size for fifteen hens
and a cock. It is economy to paint all
buildings. 1t preserves the wood and
gives them neat appearance.-Ed-
ward K. Parkinson in Country Gentle

SOCIOLOGICAL
Hotel For WORKING Girls.

Hotel For Working Girls.
A big hotel exclusively for working
girls and to be known as the Trow-
mart Inn is now ready for business
at Abingdon square, New York city.
It aims to do for wage earning girls
what the Mills hotels have done for
men. Only self supporting women be-
tween the ages Of fifteen and thirty
five will be entertained and only those
earning SIS or less, but a few rooms
will be reserved for transients. The
price for room and board is to be
$3.50 Or S., including breakfast and
dinner. The dining room seats 250
persons. Sewing, washing and ironing
rooms will be free to guests day and
night, also library and reception rooms.
W. H. h. Martin, who is back of the
plan, says he expects the hotel to pay
for itself.
Race Suicide Statistics.
Charles F. Pidgin of the Massachu-
sets bureau Of statistics reports that
the women Of the state have fewer
children than their ancestors did. He
finds that to every 1000 married wom-
en- there are 1858 children more than
five years old. Foreign born mothers
are more prolific, but the death rate of
their children is twice as high as that
of native born. The national census
credits the Bay State with only 347
children to every 1000 women, but
this Is based on all the women, mar
ried and unmarried.
Southern Mill Men Defended.
Miss Gertrude Beeks, Of the Welfare
department. of the National Civic Fed
Grafton, with note book and camera,
has made a tour Of southern mill
towns to investigate the alleged child
labor abuses. She admits that too
many children are employed there and
that the laws are not up to date, but
insists that majority Of the children
do, nevertheless, attend school.
