NEW CASTLE TIMES,

Our farmers have started to work on their 1907 crop with renewed ener- gy and vim, just as though no disaster had happened to them last year in the way of low prices, unfavorable wealth CT and short crops; and while labor is very scarce and very high, the old men, women, children, and all, are going at it with vim, to try to make the best out of it they can. There is more corn planted and blowing done in Johnson township, for this season of the year, than there ever has been before in ten years. There is lots of corn planted and coming up at this writing.
 But, as usual, Easter came with it's cold north wind and rain, yet it is to be hoped it will not last long enough to do any harm to the early gardens and other field crops, for they do look so fine and promising for this time of the year. All gardens and crops are thirty days ahead of 1906.
 We'll, the young folks, or little peo- pie. had big time at the Easter egg hunt at Mir. and Mrs. Hit Horton's last Sunday. Miss Alma Pirtle and Mir. Walter Allen headed the list of the children. MT. Have Horton, Miss Cora Horton and Mrs. Emma Pirtle were looking after the little folks in their joyful ramblings Sun- day.
 Miss Alma Pirtle returned home from Galloway College Saturday to spend Easter and mix and mingle with her many friends at home, with the intention of returning to Searcy in a few days.
 Miss Leta Littlefeld, MT. Boseman Swan, and several other friends, par took and enjoyed Easter dinner with Alma Pirtle on the Both.
 MT. w. O. Pirtle has gone into the poultry business. He has an incuba- tor, about 40 young chicks, and about 4S0 eggs in process of matching, that will hatch in about week. He has three acres of grass sown for them; has nice poultry yard enclosed, and is we'll fixed with breeders, nice hovers, and all kinds of fixtures necessary for the business. He expects to hatch about l500 chicks, besides a lot of ducks, geese, guineas and turkeys.
 Mrs. Wilson is able to set up, after her long spell of sickness. Prof. Wilson's school will close in about one week from date. Mrs. R. K. Swan and niece, Mirtle Abernathy, spent the night with Mrs. Emma Pirtle on the 27th of March. They had been up to MT. Swans store at the Gray place.
 Mesdames Mollie, Callie and Jennie Horton attended the Easter hunt on Sunday.
 The finest Spring in years.
 Miss Winnie Wall and Mr. Arch Col lin were among the Easter egg hun- ters. They all report fine time, al- though the winds of the last days of March was very disagreeable.
 w. O. Pirtle has about nine acres of corn planted and about B acres of land broke. He has been run ming his two-horse blow since Feb. 8, and is contemplating planting 40 acres of peas. He sold MT. John NJ. Nichols 100 bushels of peas this Spring at reasonably good price.
