SOrlE HINTS TO FARrlERS


But before giving out the hints
let me say | am Sc today, and not
disposed particularly to turn poet,
but rhyme a little on the birthdays
as they come in our home, to wit:
Willeen is March wind,
Mrs. Ella an April shower,
Paul is a June bug
And | am May flower.

wee baby boy came into this land

sorrows. Ny natal state is good

mentioned occurred in five miles of

long, long time ago. But | pass
from this somewhat tempting
theme and give the hints referred
to in the caption.
There is a man by the name of
David Smith living at Calico Rock
who once lived on a farm on the
old Jacksonport and Mountain
Home road, to whom | am indebt-
ed for these practical ideas on
farming. His farm was up in the
pine hills of good old lizard county
and that is enough to say the soil
was not rich like the loamy
White river land. But Mr.. Smith
was one the best farmers in all
that country. He made lots of
corn and fine cotton. My atten-
ton was first called to him full
thirty-fve years ago when at the
Batesville Fair he scooped in all
the premiums for cotton, first,
second and third, and sold his cot
ton for a fancy price. 1t was
there he was interviewed by Hon.
Frank ID. Denton, who was editor
of the Guard at that time. He
said, Il farm by rules; | have
three rules by which | farm.
First, | cultivate my soil before /
plant my seed; second, | work my
truck before it needs it and third.

JOHN BLALOCK DEAD

John Blalock died at his home
just north of town Tuesday even
ing about O'Clock from conges-
ton. He was 10 years old and
was bright and intelligent young
man who had many friends. He
is survived by three sisters and
one brother. The remains were
inferred at the Blue Spring ceme-
terry Wednesday afternoon.

fellow, now, will post these rules
on his crib door and read them
till he knows them by heart and
put them into practice, he will
have corn to sell and corn to keep.
No farmer who has anything like
good health and soil need be hard
i pressed. From the ground every
thing grows that will be needed to
sustain life, both for man or beast.
The average farmer kills more
time loa6ng than any other set of
men on earth. This may pinch
somebody's toe, but if it does it is
good evidence that the shot went
home.
There is not day in the three
hundred and sixty-fve (Sundays
excepted) but what can be made
worth q dollar to the farmer. If
he cant do a thing every day worth
a dollar, on some days he can do
thing that is worth S. or $40,
and make up the deficient day. 1t
is idleness that is the parent of
much want. Industry wins its
way anywhere. and is crowned
viii success, glory and honor. BE
up early do what is done we'll, and
plenty will fill all dinner pals.
The three Childrens Day SER
vices held on the Sulphur Rock
charge, to-wit: Newark, Sulphur
Rock and Moorefeld, were decid-
edly a success throughout. Honors
are about even among all, save IN
the collection. Newark leads in
this. The collection there was
So. 80; at Sulphur Rock, 81 %; at
Moorefeld, 81. so. The aggregate
was nearly $500. There is great
good set in motion on these annual
days. Young and tender lives
touch the old and far advanced in
age. The old get benefit to help
prop them up as down the hill of
life they go, and the little fellows
get lift up the hill of life they
are beginning to climb. May God
bless all who attended these happy
days..

considerable damage to crops,

have gone to work again to re-
trieve the damage. If there is any

Newark County, Friday
GOV. LITTLE RETURNS TO STATE
Arrived at His Home in Green
wood Monday, But Ghost of
His Former Self

Greenwood, May 81. Broken
in health, his mind affected by the
long, severe strain, Governor
John S. Little returned to Arkan-
sas yesterday evening and went to
his home in this city, the ghost of
his former self and considerably
weaker than when he left for
Texas. Few people were here to
greet the returning executive but
those who saw the shadow of John
S. Little could hardly recognize
the man who had left Greenwood
to become governor of the state
of Arkansas.
Accompanying the patient were
DR.. w. j. Pitman of this city, for
many years the family physician
of Governor Little, DR.. w. r.
Haley of Haileyville. |. T., who
was with the governor during his
sojurn IN Texas, Mrs. Little and a
negro servant who was with the
party at Corpus Christi.
Governor Little arrived over
the Frisco railroad from San An
tonic. Owing to the fact that the
Frisco does not go through Green
wood, and that it would have been
necessary to go to Fort Smith and
wait until 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning to make connections, the
train was stopped at Jensen, a
small station - miles from Green
wood on the main line. At this
point the train was met by two
carriages, one of them for the
governor and his party and the
other containing Jesse Jones,
mayor of Greenwood, and two or
three other prominent citizens of
this city. The governor was as
sisted into the carrioge by Drs.
HALEY and Pitman, and despite
his pallor and feebleness. he greet
ed his friends with a smile and
told them that he was glad to get
back.
The party arrived in Greenwood
about s o'clock this evening, the
trip from Jensen having been
made in an hour and half. The
streets were we'll filled with PEG
pie, but they had no opportunity Of
seeing the governor, who was in a
closed carriage. The governor
was taken Immediately to his resi-
dence. After making the patient as
comfortable as possible DR.. Pit
man departed for his home, leav
ing Dr.. HALEY at the Little resi-
dence.
At the door of his home Cover
nor Little was met by his two
daughters, whom he has not seen
since he left for Corpus Christi,
and the greeting was very path
etc. The governors feebleness
was such that it was necessary to
carry him up the steps at his home
the long ride on the train having
exhausted him completely.
