SUPT. WATERS
TO THE PARENTS
FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.

Not many days now before we
shall begin the work Of another
year, and as we shall have to la
Dor under many disadvantages for
some months, we are very anxious
that every mother and father who
has a child in school do all in his
power to help in making the first
few months as good as can be, and
you can do this by talking to your
child, urging him not to be i'll and
about the building now under con-
struction, and that they must listen
to me in all matters that come up,
and such other matters as you may
feel ought to be said. OF course
we shall have to require that every
pupil shall stay away from the
new building, stay from the
grounds at certain times, and many
other things that have not been re-
quired before, but nothing shall be
done that does not look toward the
care of the children under us.
They have done SO nicely in the
past that all will gladly obey what
ever is asked of them while, and
many seem to think that there is
much danger III having children
on the ground, | have the conf
dence in all of my pupils to believe
that they will do in the future as
they have done in the past, and if
they do we shall have no trouble
and everything will move on nice
ly and the work pleasant to al.
Let me ask one thing of all who
send to the public school. Believe
that the teachers whom you have
to teach in the grades and have
charge of your school are trying to
do the right thing, and if they
should do something that does not
seem right to you, do not talk
about them to your neighbors and
friends, but come straight to the
teacher with an earnest desire to
help us to the right and all of us
will be benefited. Remember
that none of you are free from mis-
takes in the control of your own
children where you have only
few with few complications, and
we have many with many compli
cations, and certainly no one
would be so unreasonable as to re-
quire that we as teachers shall be
above making mistakes handling
so many children with SO many
dispositions. When we make a
mistake or do some things that
you think are wrong, we are not
vicious in it, but like yourself we
are trying to find out the child and
to bring out the best that ism him.
We love these children under us
next to the parent, and then do
you think that any of us would
take delight in doing things that
have not the welfare of the child
rem in view? We are anxious to
have the teacher and the parent
more closely drawn together, and
to this end we ask that you visit
the school, get in touch with
school life, get in sympathy with
our plans, see to what purpose we
are giving our lives, and this will
mark the greatest year in the his
tory of the school. May | not
have you to whom these children
belong join me in thiso
Examinations to be given Thurs
day and Friday, Sept. 81 and IS.
Let all who failed in May be ready
at that time. l am glad to know
that many are ready now and |
hope that you may make your
grade and go on.
Respectfully,
S. S. WATERS.

If you knew the moment your watch
stopped you would die, surely you would

Well, is it no, a fact that should your

FROM THE
CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, Sept. Or. O..
Scheater, who was for some time
the editor of the Hot Springs Bull
letin, later assistant editor of the
Indianapolis Star, has returned to
Arkansas to accept the position of
State news editor on the Democrat.
Though the work of rebuilding
the Capital Hotel, for many years
the most popular hosiery in the
state, has but started, the work
men have so far cleaned away the
walls which have been torn away,
and erected others, so that an idea
of what the new building will be
like can be easily seen. None of
the outside walls were interfered
with, with the exception of one in
the back, which was torn away in
order that another could be erect
ed the full height of the building,
which would stand the weight to
be placed upon it. The lobby OF
the new hotel IS to be twice the
size of the old one, with large
fountain in the center. A force OF
about so laborers is daily engaged
in cleaning away the debris so the
bricklayers can go ahead with the
new portion of the building.
Last night a big temperance
rally was held in the Auditorium
rink at which all which remained
unsaid when the street meetings
were stopped because Mayor Du-
lev refused to allow the lecturers
to remain on Fifth and Main
streets, on account of a sick wo-
man in that vicinity, was burned
out last night, every speaker hav-
ing his respects to pay to the city
ministration, as we'll as to the al
legged fraudulent voting here during
the last election. The temperance
workers also took subscriptions tc
carry on their contest in this coun-
ty. Many alleged irregularities
were reported during the meeting
which will be used in the contests
before the county court as soon as
the funds have been raised to de.
fray the expense of the contest.
Sheriff Camp of Green county
yesterday afternoon brought to the
penitentiary, Howard Givens
false pretenses, one year; Dan
Howard, grand larceny, one year
Jeff Brashears, murder in second
degree, IS years; and Lon John
son, safe keeper, sentenced tc
serve IS years for second degree
murder, but whose case has beer
appealed to the supreme court.
Many sections of tie state yes
terday received rain, something
that the ground had not felt before
in six weeks, and which was bad
ly needed by the farmers. Cotton
is not yet far enough advanced te
be injured by the light rain which
fell, while all others crops were
benefited. Seed merchants of the
city complained last week of the
light business, the week being US
ually one of the heaviest of the
year, but this year only about &c
per cent of last. Seeds for grair
crops and pastures is sold thi:
month, but the ground has been Sc
dry the farmers could not plant, Sc
the seed merchants suffered.

Life of the ToNLn

Home trade is the life of any city
or town. 1t is the consumption by
home people that counts. In any Civ
en- district the number of stores and
shops requisite to supply goods for
the population is regulated by the
laws of demand. Good business men
do not select as site for any enter
prise of commercial nature a town
where all the wants are supplied.
There must be sufficient trade to sup
port all who are tradesmen. 1t is
estimated that fully 10 per cent of
the retail trade of the country sur
rounding the towns of the west is lost
to the local retailers by going to the
mail-order houses. Ten per cent is a
large proportion. In numerous locali-
ties the percentage of mail-order
house business is greater. In the
rural trading centers fully 80 per
cent of the local trade comes from
the farmer class. If this trade be
diverted to the mail-order houses, or
to the cooperative store, it can be
easily understood what the results
would be to the merchants. 1t is the
| duty of every merchant, every local
newspaper, every business man-and
every farmer, but he hardly realizes it
to work diligently and earnestly for
protection and home trade.

A Matter of Buttons.

Under a street lamp in New York
a group of men and boys were talking
and gesticulating eXcitedly. Two Of
the men were in uniform. Presently a
third man in civilians dress drew a
knife from his pocket and began to
execute savage thrusts about the neck
and shoulders Of one of the uniformed
men. A woman sitting on doorstep
near By screamed in alarm.
What are they trying to do to that
man." she said. Kill him?'
Not at ALL laughed her compan-
ion. They are simply exercising the
right of all free-born American citi,
zens and are demanding his buttons
as souvenirs. That fellow with the
knife is saving them off.
every sailor and soldier who
strikes this port ought to come pro-
vided with several gross of extra but
tons, if he expects to keep his ward
robe in presentable condition. The
collecting fever has now reached such
a virulent stage that he is held up
every trip about town and robbed OF
one or more of those ornamental and
useful accessories to the toilet"

Old EonM Waus-

"The way my father did and my
grandfather did, Is good enough for
me; l don't take much stock in those
new tangled IDEAS" Hoy many in the
retail trade apparently take this view
Of things? What percentage of busi-
ness men are making progress by fol-
lowing in the footsteps of by-gone
generations? 1t is not a wise and
good idea to use tallow dips and pine
knots in an electric light age? What
would an intelligent man think of the
western farmer who would undertake
to reap his wheat field with sickle ?
But still many are in the same boat
when they try to do business as their
fathers ald their grandfathers did.
There are certain principles that one
may follow; can be honest, give
square measure, be sociable, favor
friends, and all those little things, but
to do business in the old way means
failure unless one is located in a
bacl1woods place where there is no
competition. The up-to-date merchant
Is the man who gets there, and it is a
difficult matter to find the place to-
day where advanced methods are not

STUDY OF HUMAN NATURE.
important to Man Of Business to Be
Reader of Character.

How many business men appreciate
how valuable a knowledge Of human
nature really is to them? There are
few things, even the capital employed
in business, more valuable than the
faculty of understanding the people
with whom one must deal day after
day.
The successful man in every walk
of life is the man who intuitively
knows how to deal with those whom!
he comes in contact. 1t is the knowl'
edge of human nature and the ability
to read human character that makes
the politician success. that gives the
public man in every walk of life the
most useful power in his possession
If the average business man paid lit
tie more attention to physiogomy and
it's kindred studies he would be more
successful. The idiosyncrasies OF
mankind are as various as the shells
of the ocean. Each individual cannot
be understood, but he can be placed
in his class, and fair estimate oi
him made by the man who can read
the face and understand natural &C
tions.
One of the first studies of the bust
ness man should be his customers
He should know little of the charac
ter of each. He should be able to tel
the welI-meaning honest one from the
dead beat, and know how best tC
handle each one. There is a differ
ence between the actions of the MAJ
who is always looking for some mer
| chant who will trust him and who
never pays his bills, and the honest
| man. There is also difference be
tween the dishonest ones, and the
honest one who is never-to-well, anC
always in the hole" Day after day
the daily papers tell of the smooth
forgers who pass worthless checks
the country jay" who has a CHECK
cashed or buys goods on some one
else's credit. How much could sucf
work be prevented If the average bust
ness man only could read character
as he should? The wise man will lose
no opportunity to study human nature
and profit thereby. 1t is a capita
as useful to him as the money he ha!
invested in his business.

There's more than a dozen ways of
shooting rabbits, but the boys gen
orally wait until there's snow on the
ground. Of course a man runs across
rabbits when he's quail shooting, hunt.
Ing for ruffed grouse and prairie
chickens, but the real time to shoot
them is along about from November
until say the middle of December
Then they are foraging around among
tie corn shocks and fattening up on
different stuff and the fat just lays
in wads all up and down their backs
and their kidneys are simply smoth-
