THE GRIP.
 "Before we can sympathize with others, we must have suffered our selves" No one can realize the suffer- ing attendant upon an attack of the grip, unless he has had the actual experience. There is probably no disease that causes so much physical and mental agony, or which SO successfully defies medical aid. All danger from the grip, however. may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy, not one case has ever been reported that has not recoy cred. For sale by all Druggist.

| OI. DyoIS lidS ScdrCIlcu dlllOIlS the rowing bands that frequent the United States and believes that his son can be found among travelling junk dealers, so called horse traders or movers. He does not think the boy was stolen by genuine gipsies. He thinks he was taken by a wandering band that uses him for the pur- pose of begging in the towns along the route."
 The same issue of the Harmo- ny paper gives the following ac- count of a dastardly scheme per- petrated on Dr. Byers by confi- dence men at Evansville, Ind:
 Dr. L. $. Byers, whose little son was stolen from Seeleyville nearly two years ago, was fleeced out of S150.00 in Evansville Fri day night by confidence men who made him belive that they could restore his lost boy to him. The scheme was one of the most das- tardly ever perpetrated.
 After returning to Seeleyville from New Harmony Dr. Byres received letter from Evansville in which the writer promised to deliver the lost boy in return for S150.00 which was to be left on Main street, at a point to be designated by signal. The let ter was plausibly written and had such ring of sincerity that Dr. Byers gave it credence. It was a straw at best, but suffering from the deprivation of his favor ite child, Dr. Byers grabbed at it and made the trip to Evans vile.
 He arrived about 7:30 p. m and walked out Main in the di- rection given in the letter. When at the corner of Main and John streets he heard the signal, two sharp whistles, and without any hesitation dropped the money in the gutter as directed and re- turned to the depot.
 The child was to be sent to the depot, the letter had said, and here Dr. Byers waited patiently for several hours. But no lost son came to the lonely father and it finally became impressed upon him that he was the victim of as cruel a fraud as could be perpe- trated. The shock of the disap- pointment left him prostrated and it was feared he would lose his mind.
 pr. Byres took the precaution to take the number of tho bills and the police are now on the lookout for them. One was found in Evansville and a dis cription of the man that passed it obtained.

Hon. John S. Little in Green
 Forest.

Although the snow kept many people away from town Tuesday, Hon. John s. Little, candidate for the democratic nomination for governor of Arkansas, was greeted by a fairly good sized audience at Mayor Galloway's building Tuesday evening, where he spoke for about an hour in the interestofhis candidacy. His address was an able pre- sentation of his views on the question of the state. He dis cussed at some length the public school system and declared him. self in favor of free text books for the children of the state, the books to be printed by the deaf mutes. He showed that free text books had been furnished by the state of California at one fourth of what the books cost when pur- chased from the school book companies. He showed the great inconvenience and expense that is caused to the poor people on account of having to buy new school-books at unreasonable Eprices every time they move from Zone school district to another, on account of which they are not able to secure to their children the benefits of the public schools.
 He declared himself opposed to putting convict labor in com pitition with free labor and show ed that under one contract that has been made by the state, 300 convicts are fed and clothed and put in compitition with free labor at 50 cents per. day for each convict, while the contractors gets S1.75 per day for the labor of each convict, clear ing on the contract each day S375. Judge Little declared his plan to be to put the convicts to build ing public roads by which all the people would be benefited. "But," said he, "you say there is not enough of them to build roads. Perhaps not. There is only 900 or 1000 but I can show you forty acres of land in Arkan- sas with enough scoundrels on it that ought to be in the peni- tentiary to macadamize every public road in the state.'
 Judge Little emphasized the great necessity of honesty in the public service and was uncom- promising in his denunciation of boodlers and grafters. He was liberally applauded many times throughout his speech.

schools, I believe that high schools should be established in every county, so that every farm CT can receive at least sufficient education to fit him for the bat ties of life, and in all these schools there should be taught agriculture and horticulture. In other words some plan or method ought to inaugurated that will tend to keep the boys upon the farm, instead of weaning them away from it The great trouble in most all of our educational institutions is, that the courses pursued have tendency to wean the boys from the farm. The courses taught have but little connection with their interests and needs, unless they are try ing to prepare themselves for some profession like law or med- icine. In fact, nine out of ten of the boys, who receive high school or college education, re- turn home entirely weaned from farm life, all because the course they pursued has carried their mind away from the farm. This defect ought to be remedied and should be, by the introduction of a course of horticulture and agriculture in our schools. Put a teacher over them who possess es in addition to his other ac- complishments, knowledge of the science of agriculture.
 It is high time that some good common sense should be added to the courses of study in our common schools, instead of fol- lowing the same old rut year by year.
 Not only should such courses be established in the schools but the farmers themselves who are engaged in the business should receive some instruction. You arenow too old to go to school, and haven't the time nor perhaps the money to do so, yet there are many things that you should learn by instructions and experiences of others, such as the proper culti- vation and caring for your crops, and the proper gathering, pack ing and marketing of the same. This school and this instruction can be brought to your door by a system of farmers institutes. This is the only state in the Union that has not encouraged and established farmers institutes, and hope that every one present when he returns home will sec to it that the candidate, for the leg islature from his county is pledged to the establishment of farmers institutes iii the state of Arkansas.
 Many things will engage our attention and many problems will be brought before us to be solved, but one of the most im- portant matters that should have our attention in these discussions is the question of refrigeration n and freight rates. I am not here to condemn the railroads, or the refrigerator car lines, but my ex- Continued on fourth page.)

Many Good Things
 for Arkansas
Discussed by Hon. J. F. Logan, President of the State HOrticual Society, at the Meet

County Worlds Presidents
 Message

It is with pleasure that I call this meeting to order in the 26th annual session. It is indeed a great pleasure to preside over so intelligent a body of men as this.
 Horticulture and agriculture are noble professions and if one looks around this great gathering he must admit that no gathering of men in anylbusiness or associ- ation will excel this. This collec- tion of intelligent men of stron g character will compare favorably with any other class of business men.
 Farming and fruit growing is rapidly taking it's place in the front ranks of all stries.
 But for the farmers of this country, the balance of trade would today be against the United States, but by their in domnitable will and perseverance they have reserved an adverse balance of trade and built up one favorable to this country. Ac- cording to Secretary Wilson's report they have sent abroad a surplus amounting to several billions of dollars in the last fif- teen years. We find by the same report that the balance of trade in manufactured products and other lines outside of agriculture was against the United States to the amount of six billion of dollars, yet the agricultural products of this country wiped out this adverse balance of trade, and placed the balance in our favor to the extent of more than five billions of dollars. This is certainly record that any one engaged in horticulture ought to be proud of. While this is true, and while the United States and every state in the Union is in- debted to the farmers, who are the very foundation of the repub- lie, not only for the proper in- forcement of the law, but for bringing to it all the prosperity this country now enjoys, by the production of it's great wealth, I find that the farmers, as class, ha1 not received the consider ation they are entitled 10 at the hands of the legislature, both state and national. It is true that many states have encour- aged them and recognized their needs in 8 limited way, yet our own state has been very der elict in her duty in that connection Schools have been established by the state government for the doctors and the lawyers and other professions, yet the farmer, the producer of the wealth of the country, the very man who makes it possible for lawyers to exist and to accumulate wealth, does not in my humble judgment receive proper consideration at the hands of the law makers It is becoming more and more necessary that the farmer should be educated in the proper meth ods of agriculture and horticul- ture. He must not only learn to gather and pack his fruit proper ly, but he should be educated in the proper methods of planting and cultivating. think that agriculture ought to be taught in our common schools, our boys should not only be taught these things, but they ought to be taught to love the farm and farm life.
