Is 1t a New One?

Much interest has been caused by the report that men excavating in the rear of the Rector bath house on Gen. tral avenue, Hot Springs, had dis covered a new hot water spring, un- earthed a good quality of slate, and found good indications of coal. The property is owned by Col. E. w. Rec tor, who was having the excavations made to install a new house heating plant for the Rector bath house. It is the general opinion that the spring is not genuine, but only from leak in the hot-water pipes leading into the bath house. The fact that it is just across Central avenue from the other hot springs leads other people to be heve that after digging deeper, a gen uine hot spring will be opened. The temperature of the water is 100 de. greeS Fahrenheit.

A Family Monument.

A. V. Swaty, in charge of the gov ernment demonstration farm works Arkansas. has sent out invitations to farmers of Columbia county to meet with him October 27, at Waldo. The meeting is for the purpose primarily of securing the cooperation of the farmers in establishing a demonstra- tion farm in Columbia county, but it is expected that some action will be taken by the farmers in attendance regarding the boil weevil Investigation The reports of the government ex- perts show that the weevil has not extended as far north in Columbia county as Waldo, but the farmers l. that section are deeply interested in the investigations now being made, because if the weevil migrates far ther north it will be in their fields by the middle of the winter. It is probable that committee will be se- lected at the meeting to ascertain what steps can be taken, if any. which will tend to check the spread of the weevil to the northern part of the county,

Musgrave, a well-to-do Arkansas farm CT, of Garfield, Mississippi county The jury assessed damages at s625 in favor of Miss Witt and at S1,O0O in favor of Miss Emmons. Musgraye's counsel stated, after the verdict was rendered, that he would not prosecute an appeal, and that he would termi- nate the proceedings by paying the amounts assessed against him. The young women clainied damages on the allegation that they were lure9 to Musgrave's place in Arkansas and held there against their will.

Threatened eaaainq Shortage.

Among telegrams recently received at Little Rock over the Board of Trade wires, was one bearing the in- formation that bagging for cotton was scarce in the interior and that orders amounting to 50 car loads had been canceled recently. It is said that one firm in New Orleans was offering 1-2 cents for 100000 yards of two pound bagging, or a 1-4 of cent above the listed price. Inquiry among the job bers of Little Rock revealed the fact that enough bagging is on hand there to supply the local demand. One firm said that in addition to it's Little Rock supply it had bagging stored at St. Louis and Memphis.
