JOHN WALKER.
BY w. d. s.

= He was one of the patriots of Poplar
Springs-a man chock full of energy.
There was no such word as quit with
him when he commenced a work. For
instance, the building of a new church
at Poplar. He worked faithfully, col.
Letting money and timber to build this
church. If a nan came out for a pub
lie office in Laurens comfy he might
make up his mind that Father Walker
would see and get a donation from him.
After years of arduous work he had the
pleasure of seeing a nice church built
at Poplar Springs.
2 Talk about shouting Methodists!
When Father Walker and John Knight
came up to Mount Bethel and assisted
in u camp meeting a stranger would
think they were leading members in
that church. Both were gifted in
prayer and they would pray, sing and
shout and get just as happy as their
Methodist brethren.
Mr. Walker was a careful man. He
had a fine body of timber land, and he
took good care of it. In the winter
months he would send the negro men
into the woods and cut and split the
dead trees into firewood and rails, and
have them racked up to dry. He saw
that frewood and building timber
would IN a few years be an object.
Other people would live in South Caro-
lima after he had passed away. Many

into cotton. Now they are out of fire.
wood and have no material to keep up
their houses. If we don't discover
beds of peat and coal l don't see how
we will keep warm in this country.
John Walker was one of the most pre-
in Laurens. When he looked over a
road and found his overseer had only
half-worked it out he sem him back,
and would go with him and spend two
or three days having it done right. The
hands might talk ugly to him, but he
stuck to them, and they knew better
than to refuse to work, for he would
have them up before the board and fine
the last one of them. He had sign
boards put up at the forks Of the pub
lie roads-postoak posts squared and
planted firmly in the ground. The
pointer boards were mortised and
pinned into the posts, and stood ten or
twelve feet above the ground, so the
first boy that came along could not
throw a stone and knock them off. He
also put up milestones along the high
ways. When he let out a bridge con-
tract everything was reduced to writ
ing. The kind and sizes Of the timber;
the lemons, mortices and pins were put
down. First, the timbers were hauled
up and every piece was turned over and
closely scrutinized on all sides. Second,
when the framing vas completed the
lemons and mortices were examined.
Third, when the bridge was raised and
finished the final inspection of the work
was made. For years you could see
along the roads signs Of Walkers good
work.
He was a man that looked after the
interests Of his family. When the boys
came to see his daughters, at bedtime
it was: Johnny, get your hat, and we
will walk out. Here is a tub, water
and towel to wash your feet. I know
the gals have put on clean sheets"

Shake in a Bottle.

Now is the time when the doctor gets busy, and the patent medicine manufactures reap the harvest, unless great care is taken to dress warmly and keep the feet dry. This is the advice of an old eminent authority, who says that rheumatism and kidney trouble weather IS here, and also tells what to do in case of an at- tack. -
 Get from any good prescription pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Mix by shaking in bottle and take a teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime.
 Just try this simple homemade mixture at the first sign of Rheu- matism, or if your back aches or you feel that the kidneys are not acting just right. This is said to be splendid kidney regu- lator, and almost certain remedy for all forms of Rheumatism, which is caused by uric acid in the blood, which the kidneys fail to filter out. Any one can easily prepare this at home and at small cost.
 Druggists is this town and vi- cinity. when shown the precrip tion, stated that they can either supply these ingredients, or il our readers prefer, they will compound the mixture for them.

The Big Three
 Story Building

Filled to overflowing. The big building IS by 120 feet, three stories high, that was erec- ted four years ago as the home of the Tyler Commercial College of Tyler, Texas, will no longer accommodate the great crowds of students that are flocking to it from over half the states ir the Union. Additional room is being prepared. The manage ment of this school have proven themselves thoroughly compe- tient to cope with any conditions that may arise, by building in the short space of little over seven years, the largest commer- cial school of day students in America, and the public may rest asured that this large and rapidly increasing crowd of stu- dents will be we'll provided for. They have now by far the largest and strongest corps of teachers ever placed in business college. Their systems are the most modern and progressive Re- gently one of the latest and most modern S325 Burroughs Adding Machines was added to the Banking Department; one of the McCaskeys famous Account Re- gisters to the Retailing Depart- ment, and d Hubber Account Re- gister in the Jobbing Depart ment. Loose Leaf Ledgers, Card Systems, filling devices of the most modern and and ap- proved makes-everything is used that will aid in giving the students a we'll rounded com mercial education.
 Their Employm ent Bureau has been enlarged until it now has 15O active agents in the various cities throughout the U. S.. Through this great army of agents, the very best of positions are secured and it has been thoroughly demonstrated that this Employme ent Bureau is able to secure far more positions for bookkeepers and stonographers, or operators, than the school will ever be able to supply.
 The editor desires to commend this school for it's moral training, for it is the only commercial school, to his knowledge, that looks after it's students while cut of school as well as while they are in school, and that de- mands regular attendance and that every student conduct him. self as is becoming to 8 lady or gentleman at all times.

FRUIT FAIR FOR 1908
For Carroll, Washington, Ben
 ton and Madison Counties
WASHINGTON PAPERS FOR IT
The Tribune Suggests Eureka Springs as a Suitable Place

ltlS refreSh1ng to note that the giant fruit producing county of Washington is willing to court the cooperation of Carroll in the matter of fruit fair for next season. It had been presumed all along that the apple crops grow so big in Washington and Benton that the people are not able to see anything in the fruit line beyond the confines of imaginary lines that separate those counties from Carroll and and Madison. But it really seems that they have sit up and took notice that there is some thing doing over this way in the fruit raising business.
 Washington would like to strike hands with us in a fruit show and all participate in the joys and benefits together, and Carroll county growers, we have no doubt, are ready to do their best.
 Since Washington has been liberal enough to include Carroll county in this connection, we suggest that the fair be held at Eureka Springs and as early next year as practicable so as to catch as many visitors as possi- ble.
 Discussing the proposition of such fruit fair, the Springdale News says:
 The Fayettville Daily says the suggestion has been made that a district fruit fair be held in North west Arkansas next year, to em- brace the counties of Washing ton, Benton, Madison and Car roll. The News likes the idea. Such a fair this year, if properly advertised, would doubtless have brought hundreds of people into this section from distant states, and would have been worth thousands of dollars to the apple growing section of the state. Some very excellent fruit fairs were held in this section several years ago, when the apple in- dustry was in it's infancy, and that they did much to make this the great fruit country what it now is, no one doubts. The writ CT remembers probably the first fruit fair ever held in this section. It was in Springdale, in the fall of 1886, and was held in a large tent west of the Frisco depot. People were here in great numbers, some from distant points, and such a display of fruit and farm products was never before seen in this section. The next year the fair was held at Rogers, and later others were held in Spring. dale, until recent years the people have apparently lost interest. The fairs in those days were not gotten up to make money, but everybody "chipped in' to help pay expenses and everybody worked to make them a success. A fair gotten up along those lines where the people of Northwest Arkansas could come together and exhibit the products of their farms and orchards, would be a blessing to the country.

Get ready now for the biggest revi- val in interest in the local meetings that we have ever had The longer nights of the winter will be of advan5- age. There are a thousand and one things that should have attention and they should have it now. There is a world of vital matters that need careful going over. The subject of seed for next year should have the first atten- tion, for in no other department of his work has the farmer been more neg lectful than in that of selecting the seed best adapted to his conditions. The advance made in the lines of hors- es, cattle, hogs and poultry, etc., are simply marvellous, but the foundation of all these lines, the food for them, has been neglected sadly. When 1t 1s well known that improved seed will do as much for the farmer as improV- ed breeds have done. it is incompre- hensible that no progress has been made in that direction. The tree It. kir can come along and reap harvest on some sort of a wonderful new kind of fruit that is going to revolutionize the business, but when 1t comes to get ting a better sort of corn, the situation closes up suddenly. There are other lines that need looking after, but this is the most vital at this time and should have immediate attention.

LESSONS IN UNlONISM.

At the Worlds Fair in Chicago, long before the Farmers Union was thought of, there was a great lesson in unionism.
 For years the grain speculators had been keeping the price of corn down to the producers until it went down to s cents bushel.
 The farms of the great corn state became mortgaged, and poverty was written on almost every farmers home.
 Out of this state of affairs grew an organization which the farmers joined and stuck to. They did not simply pass resolutions, but they carried out the spirit of their resolutions to the letter, and raised the price of corn from 8 cents bushel to 30 cents.
 As a result of this the farmers of Kansas sent a car load of paid-off mortgages to the great Worlds Fair in Chicago.
 These mortgages were lifted by or ganizing and sticking to the organi- zation
 Is this not a valuable lesson to our cotton farmers?
 One year ago the Farmers Union levied special assessment of 10 cents per member in order to push it's or ganization in the great northwest among the wheat growers.
 These wheat growers were getting from 30 to 45 cents bushel for their grain.
 With the aid of the great organized body of farmers known as the Farm CTS Union they set a price of $1 per bushel, They won the fight by stick ing to the minimum price.
 It took courage and fidelity to ac complish this.
 But one result is that it makes us pay about $550 for flour Now the question: Gan we of the South afford to meet these prices for flour, corn and other things with cotton at less than 15 cents per pound?
 Most assuredly we can not.
 We have minimum price on our great crop.
 Will we get it?
 We'll it's our fault If we don't.
 We have our own system of ware houses. They belong to us and there is no reason in the warld why we should allow this internal combination of home spinners and Wall street gamblers to win
 Let us hold to the last minute.
 We can sell to Europe and let the home spinners go to the devil.
 That's what we will do. So don't sell, and don't let your non-union neighbor sell, and don't let the negro sell.-Birmingham F. U. Guide.
