If You Hire a Horse

At livery stable you ought to treat him as if he were your own. If you drive out ten miles you ought not to attend to your wants until you see him properly cared for. If an honest man you will remember that you are under a two-fold obligation to that animal-an obligation to its owner and an obligation to the ani- nal. You are the debtor of both, and though you pay the price of the horse no money can release you from the duty and moral claim involved in the bargain between yourself and the owner. To neglect the poor speeches. beast that cannot appeal to the commiseration of passer-by is simply unpardonable, and the man who is guilty of such neglect is worse than a man. Our Dumb Animals.

CLEARING GROUND
 FOR BATHING POOL
Ray Abercrombie Expects to Be Ready to Accommodate Patrons by July Heating Plant for Win.
 ter-A Park.

Ray Abercrombie has plans and specifications drawn for a swimming and bathing pool, to be located in the valley directly east of the standpipe and about one block north of Mena street, back of Mir. Moore's residence on North Mena street.
 The ground is being cleared and contractors are now figuring on the excavation work.
 The pool is to be made 40x 100 feet in size with maximum depth of eight feet. The walls will be of stone and the bottom of pack. ed clay. Later the pool may be enlarged.
 The water supply will come from two springs up the valley from the pool and in case these do not afford a sufficient supply arrangements have been made with the water works commis. sioners for the overflow water from the standpipe.
 A bath house consisting of ten dressing rooms will be built along. side the pool and it is the inten- ton to cover the pool next fall and install a heating apparatus and run the business right through the winter.
 Nice walks will be constructed leading from Mena street to the pool and the grounds surrounding will be put in frst-class shape, and will make a beautiful park, where, after bathing the patrons can enjoy the cool and pleasant evenings and the scenery sur rounding.
 Ray expects to have the work completed by the 10th of next month.

Gravette, June 19.-According to reports of of w. A. Denman and Bart Pearce, deputy cattle inspectors in the Texas fever tick eradication, infection has been found within the corporate limits of this place, this being the only place where the inspectors claim to have found the infection. Dr. Fry, under whom these men are working, claims that unless the prescribed preventives are used and the infection stamped out he will be compelled to ask the peo- pie to shut up their cattle and provide local quarantine. Some people seem aloof as to the dam ger of spread of the disease, yet stockmen who have had experi- ence state there is danger unless cattle be immune from the conta- glon carried by ticks. As yet no no cattle have been sick at this place.
