MISSING MANS BONES FOUND.
Fate of W. s. Kersey of Bates, Missing
 Eight Months, Now Known.

Waldron, May 2l.-It is be- lieyed that lot of bones found by boy near Bates are those of w. s. Kersey, who disappeared from his home September r, 1905. A boy who was out hunting for a COW yesterday ran across the evil dent remains of human being. The shoes and hat and a knife which was near by were identified as the property of Kersey, and thus the belief exists that it was his bones that were found.
 Kersey was about fifty.nine years of age when he disappeared. The theory when he could not be found was that he had committed suicide.

Points of Interest Cleaned on 1
 Fruit Farm.
 c. c. Watkins who owns frui and poultry farm two miles south east of town, has grape vine yard of over a half acre in bear ing,' with the same amount oi young vines.
 For year or two Mir. Watkins has been testing the practice ss generally followed by grape growers in the celebrated New York grape section sacking tht clusters.
 When the grapes are as large as BIB shot, ordinary candy sacks two pound size, will be used. A sack will be slipped over each cluster, the open end crumpled to- gether and secured with pin.
 The sack remains on until the grapes are matured and ripened The fruit is not hendered 1T growth or any other particular by this treatment. On the contrary the grapes grow as we'll or better than in the open. The principa advantage gained is immunity from insects and disease. The grapes ripeu uniformly and come out of the sackes in fine shape fol market, retaining the "blush that adds so much to their appear ance.
 Mr. Watkins estimates that the half acre of grapes will require 5000 sackes. -Siloam Springs Re publican.

Too Old a Friend.

Miss Jenkins is principal of a
mission school on Kusaie, one of
the Caroline Islands, where con-
vert girls from this and neigboring
islands are trained for native teach
ing.
One year she received an invita-
ton from one of her former pupils
to Thanksgiving dinner on an
adjoining island. Now, on Kusaie
there are no turkeys nor fowls of
any sort, and she was highly elated
at a specification in the invitation
that the dinner would be an Amer
lean" one, and turkey would be
on the menu.
As a basis for a conversational
lesson in English, Miss Jenkins
told her class about the invitation
and how she anticipated the turkey.
A student from the island asked
permission to speak, and delivered
the following classical encomium:
Miss Jenkins, it gives me great
joy to think of your coming pleas
ure, though it makes me sad to
think the turkey must die. ! have
been accustomed to seeing him for
he is the only resident turkey on
the island, and l am sure he will
be greatly missed, after being with
us so long. But he has been a
good turkey, and will doubtless
contribute much to your pleasure. +"
Miss Jenkins sent word to her
hostess that she preferred seeing
her American friend to eating him,
