Exaggerated Statements.

A cultured gentleman, who had been teaching in the public schools for a number of years, had business in our city the other day which necessaitated him calling at our college. He was, of course, invited to go through the school, which he did, taking a great interest in each and every department. When he had passed thru our different offices and recitation rooms. he stopped and remarked: "I have often read your ads in our papers and thought you were just mak- ing exaggerated statements to draw patronage, like many other advertisers. l never dreamed that I would come here and find you accomplishing all more than you advertised. You have op- ened my eyes; you have some- thing far above the ordinary business college, and I am frank to state that I have hesitated to recommend them to my stu dents, because of their deficient courses of study and slack dis cipline, which allows students to run loose just as they please in our larger cities, but l shall recommend yours, for find it to , be wonderful institution of thorough practical knowledge and discipline".
 We wish we had the pleasure of showing every public school teacher of the state thru our school, and letting them see it in operation, see the wonderful work that is being accomplished by our faculty of expert teachers and our enthusiastic students, for it would mean the hearty support of every one of them.

Obituary.

George w. Ragslale departed this life at his home near Green Forest, Ark, May 1 1907, sur rounded by wife, children and many friends. Truly good man is gone from us. The subject of this sketch was born in Coweta county, Georgia, May, ) 1843 and at the time of his death lacked only four days of being sixty four years old. He was the son of Joseph and Lucinda Ragsdale. His parents moved to Cobb, now Paulding county, Georgia, when he was about three years old and there he lived until he was forty eight years old. Brother Rags dale was twice married. His first wife was Miss Elizabeth Gray with whom he lived happily till December 21, 1887, when the Lord took her from him. She was good wife and helpmete, in- deed. To them were born eight children, five boys and three girls, all of whom are still living
 He was again happily married June 2, 1888 to Miss Bettie H. Timmons, daughter of Rev. W. J. c. and Elizabeth Timmons To them were born three daugh- ters, two of whom died in infancy and one, with the mother, sur- wives the husband and father.
 In 1876 he professed faith in Christ and joined the Baptist church at New Canaan, Ga. In December 1889 he moved with his family to West Texas. In March, 1890, he was ordained a deacon of the Margaret Baptist church, Ford county, Tex. In 1894 he moved to Arkansas and put his membership in the Green Forest Baptist Church where he remained a true and devoted member until the Lord called him higher.
 He was a kind husband, a loving, tender father and faith ful member. He was a great sufferer for the last year of his life. A severe spell of pneumo- nia left him with throat and stomach trouble from which he never recovered. In his last ill., ness he was patient and resigned to his Lord and frequently said that he was ready to go when GOd should call hl[il.
 The wife that is left to mourn has lost good husband, the children kind, indulgent father, the church a tried and faithful member and the community worthy citizen. To the wife and weeping children, together with neighbors and friends, let me say "Sorrow not as those who have no hope, for Brother Ragsdale has gone on before you and we will all meet again where God shall wipe all tears from our eyes and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying"
 May God comfort your every heart is the prayer of his former pastor.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY
Isaac Wright and Son, TWO Farmers of Cisco, Shot ana Killed By Their Neighbor,
 A. H. Short

A horrible tragedy was enacted near Cisco station, four miles west of Green Forest, on last Saturday afternoon. A. Il. Short a farmer residing ln the vicinity north of Cisco, shot and instantly killed Isaac Wright and his son Marcus with shot gun, at his own gate.
 Wright and son were farmers and resided on an adjoining farm to that of short the residence or the two families being only few hundred yards apart.
 It seems that there had been difficulty among the children o1 the two families that had caused some trouble between MT. Short and the Wrights and the row was renewed on Saturday when MT. Wright and his son went to the home of Short, with the result that both the Wrights were fired upon by Short and both fell dead in the road in front ot Shorts home.
 Particulars of the tragedy are hard to ascertain. In fact, the above statement contains about all the facts that were brought out by the coroner's inquest which was held over the bodies on Saturday night.
 Shortly after the killing Short went to Cisco and after telephon- ing the news to some relatives, walked to Berryville, reached there about , o'clock, and sur rendered himself to Sheriff Car roll and was locked up ill the county jail. Before surrender ing, however, he employed Fan cher & Fancher, attorneys, who immediately went to the scene to protect the interests of their client. Short stated to different ones before surrendering that he committed the deed in self de- fense. TEat Wrights came to his homo and raised a difficulty with him and that he had 10 do what he did to protect his home. There were some evidenc- es about the place of stones having been thrown about the house and two pocket knives were 1ound open about the dead bodies. How much, if any of these circumstances may have been manufactured after the kill ing is only matter of surmlse but it appears that such may have been done.
 Mrs. Short, the only other eye witness to the tragedy, refused to talk before the coroner'S iury, saying she would tell nothing she did not have to tell until she is forced to do so in court.
 The coroner's inquest practi- cally failed to bring out any thing. No witnesses were examined, and the verdict merely recited that that the Wrights came to their death from gun shot wounds SUD- posed to be from the hands of A. H.. Short. The County Coroner, Dr. Charles George, of Berryville, was present and pre- sided over the deliberations of the jury, which closed it's work about 10 o'clock Saturday night.
 The following men constituted the coroner's jury: J. c. Staf- ford, foreman, Frank Braswell, William Miller, w. M. Davis. s. R. Price, George Lovett, J. R. Jones, Jesse Wilkins, Tom Hay hurst, Henry Hill, V. |. Ham, monds and Any Allis. '

Back to My Old Home Horato, Ark, May 13, 1907.


 To My Green Forest Friends:-
 Sunday April 2S, 1907, l recei- we'd a telegram saying; Youl mother is very sick, come al once! This was enough. started on first train for Elber- field, Indiana, 8 distance of SOC miles. I landed there Tuesday April 30, to find that mother had died the day before. This was sad news to me. l hoped to see her once more alive. This is one of mans saddest hours when he is called to look at mother for the last time and say good by forever. Mother was born in Warrick county, Indiana, in 1852 and died in the same county April 18th 1907, being 74 years 8 months and 9 days old. Her maiden name was McSwane. anu she was buried on the old homeplace, known as the Me- Swane cemetery. Her mother selected the place and was the first one buried there 69 years ago. Mother spent most of her life in Indiana. She lived in and near Springdale, Ark, some 10 years. She has visited my brother and myself several times since she left Springdale to live in Indiana. She visited the writ. CT the last time in Green Forest, May 1906 She left my brothers, John P. French, Eureka Springs, in November 1906 for her old home.
 My trip was a sad one, yet l met hundreds of relatives and friends there, it being nearly 23 years since 1 left my old home. The country had changed so much that I hardly knew the place and the faces of my old time relatives and friends had changed so much that l only knew a few faces. On Sunday, May 5th, some 200 relatives and friends met at my grandfather's old home and gave a dinner in honor of my self and brother. MT. Gil Holder and wife, Dora, whose maiden name was McSwane, own the homestead. They threw their doors open to every one and did al in their power to make all feel at home. At the noon hour we were called in. Three long tables. were filled with all the good things that the good housewives of the neighborhood could get. All of the two hundred were fed and the tables kept filled until a late hour so that no one left hungry. After dinner a fine box of cigars was passed through the crowd. The Mt. Olive string band rendered some fine music.
 After this the choir sang Nearer My God to Thee, Rock of Ages, and Angels Tell my Mother I'll Be There. After this we said good bye for the day had almost gone and the sun was getting Ow.
 On May 8th, being my 50th. L. F. French, cousin, gave us a fine dinner at his ele- sant home, 605 Campbell St., Evansville, this being his 54th Some 40 people were present and partook of an ele- gant dinner. Ny cousin was presented fine S17.00 chair by lis children. We received sew oral presents from relatives and friends after dinner was over. We said good bye and took an electric car for Prinston, a dis ,ance of 9 miles. There we ook supper with our aunt, Mrs. ]. J. Criswell, after which we ook the train for our home in Arkansas, dear old Arkansas.

On One of His Chief and Most 1nte

On One of His Chief and Most Inter-
 ... esting Characteristics.
 It was the face (that of Lincoln) that in every line, told the story of anx- iety and weariness, says Colonel Silas W. Burt in the Century. The dropping eyelids, looking almost swollen; the dark bags beneath the eyes; the deep marks about the large and expressive mouth; the flaccid muscles of the jaws, were all so majestically pitiful that I could almost have fallen on my knees and begged pardon for my part In the cruel presumption and impud- ence that had thus invaded his repose.
 As We were severally introduced, the President shook hands with us, and then took his seat on hair-cov- cred sofa besides the major, while we others sat on chairs in front of him. Colonel Van Buren, in fitting words, conveyed the message from Governor Seymour, asking the President in Governor Seymour's name to pay no attention to newspaper statements of to the Governors unfriendliness, and assured the President of the Gov ernor's fixed intention to fulfill any constitutional call upon him for funds to support the government.

 1 MOUNTAIN GLEN STOCK FARM. During a brief chat with General Phelps Montgomery he gave some par ticulars about the live stock at his farm of the foregoing name, which is situated in a picturesque location that affords several views of attractive nat 1 ural scenery, a few miles north of New Haven. At the head of the horse stock l is the standard and registered stallion Forkhurst, a 2:20 trotter sired by Al- cantara 2:29. whose dam was the Great Brood mare Alma Mater by Mambrino Patchen.
