Old Hickory Man Arrested.

Last Tuesday evening Nath Simpson of Scotland arrested Rufe Hawkins of Old Hickory upon a charge of assault to murder. Ed Edmon was the man he assaulted and probably killed. The men met at Bill Cleaver's and, with some others, were drinking wine. Cleaver refused to sell Edmon wine, OH account of his youth, and he got mad and left, using some rough talk as he went. Hawkins tried to make him believe he was deputy sheriff and followed him a quarter of mile, when they f. nally came to blows, Edmon using an old pistol and Hawkins knife. Hawkins was not hurt to speak of, while Edion is cut into the lungs, besides several other stabs nearly as bad. Clinton Journal.

By this action Henderson College becomes secondary school for boys and Galloway secondary school for girls. Hendrix is thus made the leading institution of the state. An endowment of $500, 900 is to be raised for Hendrix and Rev. James Thomas is to be the financial agent to secure this endowment. Tender son and Galloway now become junior colleges and will in the fu- ture give diplomas, without the is suanCe of degrees.

4 MURDER CASES
 FOR NEXT TERM

Circuit Clerk A. M. Ledbetter will within few days begin the prep ration of the criminal and civil dockets for the next term of the Faulkner circuit court, which con- venes here January II. While the civil docket is comparatively light, the criminal docket is the heaviest for many years, there being no less than four murder cases to be brought before the court, besides an unusually large number of mis- demeanor cases. The murder cases are as follows:
 Sam Spence, colored, indicted at last term for murder in first degree for killing Arrinda Golf, negro girl who was found dead in we'll near Martinville February "A, 1908.
 J. w. Cartwright, indicted for murder in first degree for killing his wife near Wooster in September of this year.
 A. B. Winters, indicted for mur- der in first degree for killing Char ley Carnahan near Round Noun tain about two years ago. Mis- trial at last term of circuit court.
 l.. E. Milligan, charged with killing Joe c. Herring near Da- mascus on October ?. Milligan has not yet been indicted and this case will probably not come to trial at the next term.

WORK OF 1. R. CONFERENCE
Much Important Business Was
 Transacted
Correlation of Methodist Educational Institutions Noteworthy Action
 of the Conference.

Little Rock, November 3o.- Today is the final session of the Little Rock conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, which has been i'll its fiftythird annual session here for the past week, and during the day Bishop Hendrix will announce the ap- pointments, as well as the place for the next meeting to be decided by the members of the conference. The session has been a notable one for many reasons. It has been marked all the way for the efforts of the members to bring about greater economy along all lines, even the entertainment of those at tending conferences in the future. The different boards have reported in favor of cutting down assess ments as well as expenses, both for the individual and the church. eS.
 Another important matter has been the re- admission of Rev. James Thomas, one of the most forceful ministers who was ever a member, and who was several years ago made the object of sensational charges, but later disproved them and applied for re-admission after a voluntary withdrawal.
 The most important feature of the conference has been, however, the correlation of the church schools ill Arkansas. This plan has been under discussion for the past year, and was strongly op-

ANOTHER FLOOD PREDICTED
Arkansas Expected to Go Beyond
 Danger Point.
Special Warning from Weather Bureau Re ceived Here This After
 noon.

Prepare for sudden rise in Ar kansas river, beginning Tuesday or Wednesday. Fort Smith office announces stage of "A feet by Mon- day. "ALCIAToRE." "
 The above telegram was received by Postmaster o. J. Owen this af- ternoon and is the second special warning which has been sent out by the weather bureau of the flood expected in the Arkansas within the next few days.
 A 24-foot stage at Fort Smith is two feet above the flood stage, and as heavy rains have fallen in the watershed of the Arkansas at all points below Fort Smith, it would not be surprising to see still higher water at Little Rock.
 A report from one of the bottom farms in this county this morning states that the river rose three feet last night and was rising rapidly. As this rise was of course due to local rains, the volume of water from above will greatly increase the rise.
 The present rise is the fourth within six months. In May and June of this year, the river reached a stage of 26.3 feet at Little Rock and completely destroyed the crops on 2ooo or more acres of land un- protected by levees in this county. Another flood in October did but little damage, and small loss is expected from the present overflow, as the lands now subject to over flow produced very light crops, which have been practically all gathered.

Who saved to the state two and one

Great effort and service have been
required in carrying on this contest
for upwards of 100000 acres of land
and s250,000 in cash during the past
seven years. Money has been paid
for attorneys fees and expenses. From
what source has it been derived? Not

reservation, the deed to which was
actually in escrow and ready to be
delivered to a railroad company in
1901, was. for the first time in the his
tory of the fund, placed in the banks
at interest, and the interest of this
fund in litigation has more than paid
all attorneys fees.
Therefore, s15O.OOO cash and two
million acres have been saved to the
fund. What is its value? At $500
per acre, it amounts to upwards of
$10,000,000. Was it not worth the
effort, service and cost incident there
to, of the trustees and their employees?
If So, should not credit be given to
those entitled to it, as a meritorious
reward for efficient public service?'

EXCELLENT WEATHER
AND MAGNIFICENT CROPS
REPORTS FROM WESTERN CAN.
ADA ARE VERY ENCOURAGING.

A correspondent writes the Winni.
peg MANI Free Press: "The Pinch
er Creek district, (Southern Al
berta), the original home of fall
wheat, where 1t has been grown with
out failure, dry seasons and wet, for
about % years, Is excelling itself this
year. The yield and quality are both
phenomenal, as has been the weather
for its harvesting. Forty bushels is q
common yield, and many fields go up
to so, so and over, and most of 1t No.
1 Northern. Even last year, which was
less favorable, similar yields were in
some cases obtained, but owing to the
season the quality was not so good 1t
Is probably safe to say that the aver
age yield from the Old Mans River to
the boundary will be AZ or 48 bushels
per acre, and mostly No. 1 Northern.
One man has just made net profit
little less than the selling price OF
land. Land here is too cheap at pres
ent, when crop or two will pay for
1t, and failure almost unknown. Nor
Is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do well, also stock and
dairying, and there is large market
at the doors in the mining towns I'D
the Crows Nest Pass, and in British Co
lumbia, for the abundant hay of the
district, and poultry, pork, and gar
den truck. Coal is near and cheap.
Jim Hill has an eye on it's advan-
tages, and has invested here, and is
bringing the Great Northern Railroad
soon, when other lines will follow"
The wheat, oat and barley crop in
other parts of Western Canada show
splendid yields and will make the
farmers of that country (and many of
them are Americans) rich. The Cana
dian Government Agent for this dis
trict advises us that he will be pleased
to give information to all who desire
1t about the new land regulations by
which settler may now secure. 160
acres in addition to his 100 home
stead acres, at $500 an acre, and also
how to reach these lands into which
railways are being extended. 1t might
be interesting to read what is said Of
that country by the Editor of the
Marshall (Minn) News-Messenger,
who made a trip through portions of it
in July, 1908. Passing through more
than three thousand miles Of Western
Canada's agricultural lands, touring
the northern and southern farming
belts of the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, with nu-
meroua drives through the great grain
fields, we were made to realize not
only the magnifcence of the crops, but
the magnitude, In measures, OF the
vast territory opening, and to be
opened to farming immigration. There
are hundreds Of thousands of farmers
there, and millions of acres under cuI-
tivation, but there is room for mil.
lions more, and other millions of acre
age available We could see in Western
Canada in soil, product, topography or
climate, little that is different from
Minnesota, and with meeting at
every point many business men and
farmers, who went there from this
state, It was difficult to realize one
was beyond the boundary Of the
country"
