WHEN MILEsToNEs CHEER.
They Always Gladden. the Heart of
 the Pedestrian.

Tn walking trip milestone along the way is the most companionable fellow in the world; your spirits rise as you near him as though you were about to greet a human friend, and they keep almost consistently on his high level till his brother a mile dis tant advances to meet you.
 And when you overlook one of this friendly company because of an en- croaching bank or screening boughs, says the Travel Magazine, his neigh bor further on comes to you doubly welcome. At the latter end of this passage in the journey your spirits flag trifie as though oppressed by sense of desertion. You may even scowl at the overhanging bank which is more than party to this conceal ment.
 Those worthy persons who attend to the roads should see to it that every milestone within their province stands out frankly from its leafy background. Observance of this, however, would rob the wayfarer of that leap of the heart which is his when the stone tells the story of two miles done rather than one For however much the land scape and the minute world at his feet may claim the footfarer's admiration he is still keenly alive to the virtue of decent distances covered in his days journey.

Alive With Boil WeeviIs.

A stalk of cotton, which, upon exam ination was found to be alive with in sects pronounced to be genuine Mexi- can boil weevils, was brought from a plantation near Hope, to be exhibit ed at the Hampstead county fair. The stalk was selected for it's size, fruitage and healthy color, and with no thought that it was infested with weevils. The insects were to be seen on the cotton in the various stages, from the small grub, or worm. to the adult weeyil, and there was scarcely boil on the large stalk that had not been pune tured by the weevil and in which de- posits of eggs had not been made by the pest.

 [ ARKANSAS }
Tragedy at Texarkana.

E. NJ. Sumner was shot and killed by negro, Monroe Ballard, while sit ting on his front porch smoking a pipe. Both the men were laborers and lived in the same neighborhood, their houses being only few yards apart. The two houses were owned by the same landlord. The presence of the negro as a neighbor was objec- tionable to the white man, and it is said he complained to the landlord. The latter served notice on the negro that he must vacate. This so incensed the negro that he shot Sumner. Upon the arrival of the officers the negro barricaded himself in his house, but was later shot on exposing himself at an open door, bis body being literally riddled with bullets.
