To Aid Arkansas Fight.

The lumber dealers of St. Louis and Memphis have joined the Arkansas dealers in their fight upon the recently announced increase in rates upon shipments of lumber within the state of Arkansas Freight bureaus in these two cities and Little Rock are now making an effort to bring about an abol- ishment of the proposed rates before the order goes into effect, March 1. 'f'he lumber dealers in Memphis and St. Louis realize that they will be heavy sufferers should the railroads persist in their intention Large quan- titles of lumber are annually shipped to these cities from Arkansas, as the firms which did not abandon the state must necessarily increase prices to keep the margin of profits the same, the result can easily be foreseen. The main grounds upon which the dissat- isfaetion is based oh skiddooo the r ed seems to be the alleged unfairness of the new rates. The sheet shows that shipments south of the Arkansas river will be listed at two cents a hun dred pounds higher than formerly while shipments in the territory north of the river will suffer an increase of only one cent. Discrimination be- tween Arkansas and other states is also charged.

OLD SETTLER DEAD Mrs. Farmin, Who Came to Arkansas in Stage Coach With Bishop
 Ryrne, Is Dead. @ ONE OF FIRST CATHOLIC TEACHERS Died on SeVenty-seVenth Birthday
 of Heart Disease.

Little Rock-After a long and event. ful life, which was devoted largely to the furtherance of the work of the Catholic church in Arkansas, Mrs. Elizabeth Farmin, widow of Arlow Farmin, is dead at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Warren Baldwin, PAPA Louisiana street.
 The story of Mrs. Farmins life is one of unusual interest. It is replete with interesting incidents, many of which are closely associated with the early history Of Arkansas and the ad- vent of the Catholic church into this territory.
 She was born February 2S, 1880, at Castlewellan, County Down, Ireland. At the age of r years she left her home, in company with her two broth CTS, for the United States. They made the trip across the ocean on the same vessel, but upon landing at New York City it was found that they would have to separate for a short time. Before parting, however, they agreed to meet at a certain place at a given hour.
 In some manner the girl failed to meet her two brothers. Evidently misunderstanding existed as to the

was also the seat of learning for a large section of territory, and it's pri- vate high schools for boys and girls were attended by pupils from all over Arkansas and Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. The Cairo and Fulton (which is now the main line of the Iron Mountain was not built through Washington. however Towns were rapidly built up along the railroad, and as they were more easy of access they grew. They attracted people from Washington, and it's population rapid ly dwindled
 Some of the most distinguished men that Arkansas has produced came from Washington. Among them were Gen. Grandson D. Royston, Augustus H. Garland. attorney general of the Uni ted States during Clevelands first administration; former United States Senator James K Jones, former Gov ernor Dan w. Jones, Judge w. s. Eakin, Judge Edward Cross and Judge B. B. Battle, an associate justice Of the present. Supreme Court of Arkan- sas Ruth MeEnery Stuart, the fa- nous writer. is former resident of Washington.

WASHINGTON STORM SWEPT.

About 100 houses in the southern part of the historic county seat of Hampstead county, Washington, were destroyed by a tornado, and one per- son was killed and another probably fatally injured. Carrie Shook, negro woman, was killed outright and Ellen Block another negro, was fatally in iured Frank Golston and wife were also slightly injured.
 The tornado, which occurred during a heavy rainstorm, continued but a short time, and spent all it's fury in the south part of town. It tore down all the telegraph wires between there and Hope, and news of the storm was not received until several hours later
 In addition to the large number of houses occupied by negroes which were destroyed, the tornado either destroyed or damaged considerable property occupied by white persons
 Tomatoes are usually attended with freakish incidents, and the one that visited Washington was no exception in that particular A house belonging tO e LtSIOj elilu WAtC1 u6 dllu Hlo ldll- fly were occupying when the storm broke, was blown from it's foundation and rolled about quarter of mile down a hill. It finally landed in a clump of bushes and the negro and his family climbed out of it unin- jured. The negro Baptist church was moved about ten feet from it's for mer location, but was not damaged to such an extent that it will be unfit for use.
 Washington is one of the oldest towns in Arkansas, having been found- ed about 1918. It was once a place of considerably more importance than it has been for several years. While most towns grow and branch out, Washington has retrograded. Up to the time of the building of the Cairo and Fulton railroad, between thirty and forty years ago, Washington was the industrial and social center of southwest Arkansas. It was the main point on stage lines from Little Rock to Shreveport, Clarksville, Texas, and other Southwestern cities, and for that reason enjoyed unusual prestige. It

The De Queen and Eastern has com pleted surveys for a proposed line from Hot Springs southwest to De Queen, where connection will be made with the Kansas City Southern. The new road is to extend 125 miles, the distance between the two points men, toned. The section of Arkansas through which it passes is not lacking in roads extending north and south, but has no line except the Iron Noun tain from Hot Springs to Texarkana, which extends west or southwest. The line of the new road is at all points several miles distant from the Iron Mountain, and not being parallel prac- tically 8 new territory is opened up. When the new line is constructed travellers west and southwest from

 place of meeting. For days the girl paced the streets of New York in search of the two brothers whom she was destined never to see nor hear of again during her entire life.
 She finally gave up the search in despair and, having no friends to whom she could go, decided to appeal to the Catholic church, of which she was a member. It was then that she met Bishop Byrne, who was prepar- ing to move to Little Rock
 She decided to become a Catholic teacher and shortly afterward left, in company with Bishop Byrne, for this city, which, at that time, was a small village. The entire trip, as far as Napoleon, Ark, was made overland Little Rock the journey was made in small canoe.
 short time later Bishop Byrne was established as the first bishop of the Catholic church in this diocese, which was then composed of Arkansas. Tex as and Indian Territory Mrs. Far min was made one of the instructors in the Catholic school, then located on the corner of Second and Center streets. She was one of the first Cath ollie teachers in this territory.
 Mrs. Farmin remained in Little Rock the rest of her life. In 1850 she was married to Arlow Farmin. The latter was also closely associated with the early history of Little Rock. He served as deputy state auditor for q period of twenty-one years. He died in May, 1887.
 During her residence in this city Mrs. Farmin made many attempts to locate lser two brothers whom she had lost in New York Her efforts were of no avail, however, as she never heard of either one One of the two brothers, Mark McIver, was physi- elan, while the other had prepared himself to be an attorney On the same day that President Abraham Lin coin was assassinated a man was shot in the Palmer House, in Chicago. A prominent physician by the name of Dr. Mark McIver was called to attend the mans injuries and Mrs. Farmin always entertained the belief that he was her brother. She made several at tempts to ascertain whether or not her belief was correct, but for some reason she was never able to gain any information on this point.
 Mrs. Farmin died on her 77th birth day anniversary. Her death was the result of heart trouble and old age and was not unexpected.

Killed While Huntinn

J. s, Halls prominent farmer who resides south of Texarkana, was killed while hunting recently. He and a young man by the name of Dodson, were alone in the woods, and there were no witnesses to the tragedy. Dod- son says they were on their way home and he was walking behind. He was in the act of shifting his gun when the hammer caught in his coat, caus- ing the weapon to explode. The full charge of buckshot entered just over Halls left ear, literally tearing the top of his head off. Dodson has been arrested
