TROUBLE OVER A FENCE.
Negro Tenants Cause Landlord and
 Other Neighbors to Fall Out.

Saturday Young Mckinney had Mir. and Mrs. Geesman, who Hive in the southwest part of town, arrested for tearing down some fence. Mrs. Geesman is said to have done the work. The trouble came up over the fact that Mir. Mckinney has rented a house to negro woman next to Geesman's and in the sa me vicin- .ity where other negroes are liv- ing. The Geesmans objected to this and told Mckinney he must cut his fence loose from where it joined the Geesman fence. A few days later, the fence still re- maining connected, Mrs. Gees man went out and cut 1t loose.
 Ia the hearing of the case be- fore Squire Smith Saturday after noon Geesman claimed that where the Mckinney fence joined bis was on his own land and that after McKinney's failure to re- move it he had a right to cut il away. Tine case was tried before jury but the jurors could not agree on a verdict.

AN ARKANSAS
 FARMERS METHODS
C. Nj. Flemming of Salina County Sue ceeds With Diversified Farming Raises All Hay, Corn and
 Meat.

By A. D. McNair of U. $. Agricultural De
 partment.
 There are many men in the cotton country who succeed in raising a variety of crops and make money with them but they are not yet numerous enough to have had serious effect on the type of farming ia the cotton region.
 One suca successful diversifier is c. M. Fleming, of Saline county, Ark. In 1895 he was $l,OO0 in debt and had no money, team, no implements and not a foot of land. With this haudica p he bought sandy farm of 9b acres in Saline county and went still farther in debt for team, inn plements, and supplies. In five years time he had paid out and he did it following a system of diversified farming. At the present time MT. Fleming has 65 acres in cultivation which is ap- cortioned as follows:
 Twelve acres corn, l0acres cot ton, 25 acres peas followed by oats and both cut for hay, 10 acres in peas, part broadcast and part i'll drills not followed by oats, acres cantaloupes, ? acres watcrmelons, 2 acres Irish pota toes, 2 acres sweet potatoes.
 A fund amental feature of MT. F.eming's farming is to raise ali his hay, corn aud meat, and he usually has Sl50 worth of surplus hay to sell. His pea hay ayer- ages one ton per acre, and the oats a little less. Peas are plant ed between corn rows at the last cultivation and hogged down. Land is mostly sandy, rolling or hilly, not very fertile and washes easily, but this is held in check by hay raising and deep blowing.
 Mir. Fleming believes in deep and early blowing, breaking flat, but practices shallow cultivation. He saves and uses all manures and buys some commercial fertil:- gers. He has greatly improved his farm since paying for it. He reads agricultural papers and bulletins and practices the scieu- 'tifice care of soil and production Iof crops. He also works-not merely few months but all the year-and plans his crops with a view of distributing his labor over the entire year.

THE BOX FACTORY
 SOON IN OPERATION
Machinery of all Kinds Needed Has Been Ordered and Is Expected to Arrive in Thirty Days
 Fine Prospects.

The Mena Box and Manufac- turing Company is now an as- sured fact aud the mac hinery has been ordered.
 Last week representative of The Star interviewed J. L.. Hagan and ascertained the fol- lowing interesting points in re- gard to the enterprise: The com. pany is composed of J.L. Hagan, K. Dusenbury and w. J. Falls of Mena, l.. Dusenbury of St. Louis and J. Schooley of Grannis. The factory is located about one mile down the railroad and spurs will be run to the mill. The machinery for the manufacturing of boxes has been ordered from Cincinnati and the spoke machin- cry was purchased in Birming- ham, Ala. It will be probably thirty days before the ma chinery arrives and it will require perhaps fifteen or twenty days to place 1t in position.
 As stated previously, it IS the intention of the company to manufacture all kinds of boxes and fruit and vegetable crates. Timber has been contracted for and will be on the ground by the time the machinery arrives. MT. Hagan has letters from Omaha, Chicago and as far south as Charleston, s. C., making irqui- ries as to the number of boxes that could be contracted for, prices, quality, etc. MT. Hagan says that the company will do a large business from the start, reaching throughout Texas, Ar kansas, Oklahoma and parts Of Missouri. Quite number of men will be employed in this es- ta blishment, and as the wages of mill men are good, the opening of the Mena Box and Mauufac- turing plant will be very bene- ficial to the city.

A Canine curlo.

Two or three dogs are nearly always to be found loafing about every black smiths shop. This fact is so well recognized that detectives, when sent out after valuable dogs that have been lost, invariably visit first of all the blacksmiths' shops in the neighbor- hood. The reason why the dogs ire quent the blacksmiths' shops Is that they love inordinately the odor and tho taste of burning hoofs. They snuif the odor as woman snuns rose, and they eat tho hoof parings as Q gourmet cats trufies. Landseer, the great animal painter, knew this odd fact well, and in his famous picture of The Smiths Shop" Q dog in the foreground is greedily munching sliy CTS of toasted hoof.

ANDREWS SENDS
 CONGRATULATIONS
Norwood's Majority Probably Will Be Within 100 of the Estimate Made by Him, 6,700 10000
 More Than Donaghey.

Hon. Hal l.. Norwood, Demo. cratic nominee for attorney gen. eral of Arkansas, accompanied by Judge James D. Shaver, re- turned home Saturday night from Little Rock, where they had been to attend meeting ot the State Democratic committee which met in that city last Friday for the purpose of ctnyassing the vote of the recent primary election and to sum up the fiual results. In the race for attorney gen. eral between Mir. Norwood and MT. Andrews much interest was manifested by the friends of these two gentlemen, and not withstandiug the fact that the returns showed Mir. Norwood to be the winner by over 6, ,000 votes, Mir. Andrews refused to concede his election until the final results were given by the committee. The official vote of 72 counties gives Mr. Norwood 63, 590 votes and MT. Andrews 57,47S votes, m a jority of 6, ,112,.
 MT. Norwood is congra ratulating himself as being a good cam paign prophet. He claimed that the canvass of the vote would show him 10 have a majority of 6, 70o. As the final result stood he had majority of 6,112 and from the three counties still out he claims majority in his favor of 490 which will make his ma jority 6,602, less than 100 votes under his prediction.
 On learning that the official count had given Mir. Norwood safe majority, Mir. Andrews sent the following message to MT. Norwood:
 Marianna, Ark, April II, 1908. Hon. l.. Norwood, Mena, Ark
 You win. 1 congratulate you.
 F. R. Andrews.
 MT. Norwood in reply sent to Mir. Andrews the following mes- sage:
 Mena, Ark, April II, 1908. Hon. F. R. Andrews Marianne, Ark. Your congratulations by wire re- ceived for which thank you.
