POINTED PARAGRAPHS

No man can loaf by himself. He needs someone to help him do nothing. The child of God is the only person who can be alone, and yet not alone. He meditates on God, magnites his mercies, counts his blessings by the multitude.

PRAISE FOR ARKANSAS
Secretary of Agriculture Says Some
 Goods Things About Arkansas

Washington, Oct. 25.-"I would be glad were you to send to the people of Arkansas this message from me. , Secretary of Agriculture Wilson said today, to the Gazette correspondent, as he discussed the proceedings of the American Association of Cotton Manu- lecturers recently in session here That Arkansas is naturally one of the most remarkably rich states in the Union: that, so soon as the people there get time to make the most of the boundless wealth provided by nature in soil, forest and mine, Arkansas will take it's rightful rank among the commonwealths of the country as to its commerce, agriculture and indus trial output.
 Mature did much for that state: now it remains for man to add his contribution. The manufacturers of cotton goods have been here ask ed me to speak before them: this I did, and l told them something that aston ished them-that the farmer of the South nowadays is the creditor of Wall street: that the time has passed when he is hurt by the hurts of Wall street, and he has earned the position of independence of the financial in- terests of New York, and has piled up a surplus instead of doing business on borrowed capital' l'.-Arkansas Ga Zette.

DRENNEN A CHICKEN EATER

Mr. Editor:-I. see in recent issue of The Journal where Morg Drennen has returned from trip to Oklahoma and says he is satisfied with Arkansas. want to say he is easy pleased. But, say, MT. Editor, I can say one thing for him: He got all the chicken he could eat. Bud Campbell told me that Morg went into a hotel out here and wanted all the chicken he could eat. When he got through the bill was ninety cents. Chickens are mighty cheap out here, so you can guess about what it took. I think the boys will come back as soon as there is another crop of chickens raised.
 Crops are very good. I will soon have 1000 bushels of corn on the mar ket. G. M. MORRIS.

THE MOVING SPIRIT

People who leave Arkansas in search of better homes farther West generally spend, enough money and time to im- prove their old places and make them better than the homes they find. But people will move, and it is useless to talk to them. People are leaving the very section of the West whither the restless Arkansawyer is just now drift ing; some returning, some going farther West. This shifting around is by no means confined to Arkansas; it is a restless spirit that is prevalent the country over.-Calico Rock Pro- gross.

Ed RObinett Shot Down and Robbed in Pulp
 lie Highway
OFFICERS ATTACKED AND ROBBED
Negro Desperate Kills One, Seriously Wounds Another and Robs Four,  Including a Constable, and
 Made His Escape

A murderous negro highwayman played a high hand around Newport Friday and Saturday, and as result of his operations one man is dead and another dangerously wounded. The negro's first victim was Ed Robinett, whom he held up in broad day light, only about mile north of New port, on the public road leading out to Diaz. After shooting Robinett, he robbed him of what money he had in his pocket, which was only about 75 cents, then took Robinett's horse and rode off, leaving him lying in the road.
 Going on up the road, he held up a negro named Pegg, and robbed him of $50 and bottle of whiskey. Saturday the negro moved the base of his operations over west of New port, in Oil Trough bottom, and held up and robbed several other parties and shot Earl Harris.
 While driving along the public road leading from Newport out through Oil Trough bottoms Saturday evening, Earl Harris and Pete Hale, who were in a wagon together, were confronted by the negro, who ordered them to throw up their hands. Hale tumbled off tine wagon on the opposite side and escaped through corntield. Harris, however, showed fight and was shot three times, one ball grazing the left wrist, another entering the right arm and the third shot striking him about the left ear and ranging upward, but only producing flesh wound.
 Later the negro held up Constable Henry Stone of Oil Trough township, who was returning home from New port, on horseback, and took his horse and about $5 in money. The negro got about SIP from Harris.
 Ed Robinett, the first vitim of the highwayman, was shot through the breast, the ball penetrating his lungs. The negro left him lying in the road, thinking he was dead, but Robinett managed to crawl to a house, some distance away, and was taken to his home where he died Sunday morning.
 Earl Harris, who was shot in the arms and head, lives near Jamestown. and after being shot by the negro, he drove on to Salado, where he awoke Nta morning and had his wounds dressed. He is reported to be getting along nicely and will recover.
 Four negroes have been arrested, John, Ed and Ward Smith, brothers, all of Newport, and a negro, whose name we have not learned, who was arrested at Hoxie Monday. It is not believed, however, that either of the negroes arrested is the guilty party, but they are still being held in jail at Newport pending further investiga- tion.
 Only a short time ago some parties were held up and robbed just east of Newport by lone negro highwayman and it is thought that these last crimes were committed by the same negro. Judge Fulkerson has announced that he will convene a special grand jury at Newport at once to investigate the case and if possible bring the guilty party to justice.
