WATERMELONS FOR CHRISTMAS

TeXarkana, Dec. IS. A fine large watermelon looking as fresh and green as In July is at tracing considerable attention in one of the front show win dOws at the Prince Racket Store on East Broad street
 The melon was raised by Mr R. F. Higginbotham on his farm north of town. The vine on which it grew was planted July 1, last The melon is of the southern Rattle Snake" variety, is about eighteen inches in length and will weigh perhaps ten or twelve pounds. Mr Higginbotham has announced that he will cut it on Christmas.
 Watermelons for Christmas are something of a luxury even here in the Sunny South, but it is not difficult to raise them if you know how and do mot object to the trouble and care necessary for raising them.

STATISTICS ON THE

Washington special gives the allowing interesting facts re- earding the lumber production ol 1907
 The greatest year in the his tory of the lumber industry in the United States was 1907, when according to the report of the lumber cut for the year just made by the census bureau, the nroduction was 4O,256,154OOO feet-the largest ever recorded having a value of S666,641, ,367 at the place of production. In addition there were produced B. e63 ,6O2,OOO lath. worth $1O.342 7O5 and 11,S24, ,475.OOO shingles valued at S3O,111,337 giving a total value for lumber, lath and shingle production of $7O7 ,O95,- 4O9. If it were possible to secure absolutely complete statistics of these products, says the census bureau it is probable that the output in 1907 would reach $75O sOO,OOO much larger than the value of the production of any previous year.

SOME LATE NEWS
 FROM LITTLE ROCK
E.Z Spray Company File Articles of In. corporation. Expert Accountant
 Counting States Cash

Little Rock. Dec. 19.-Articles of incorporation were this after noon filed with the Secretary of State for the E-Z Spray Co.,, a S25,OOO corporation which was yesterday afternoon formed by young men of the city. This cor- poration will manufacture a pre- paration which they claim will clean anything but a guilty con- science. For the past week neg roes dressed in white suits, have gone about the city with hand sprayers, spraying every thing within reach, advertising the product of the new corpora tion. The president of the com pany is Asa c. Oracle; Frank B. Morse of New York, vice pres- dent and R. E. Chambers, sec retary and treasurer. The fac tory of the concern will occupy the entire three floors of building, 1000 Main Street.
 II. IF. Auten, who with Warren F., Lemon, was sent by the Ar kansas River Navigation Co.,, to Menominee, Mich, to look over a couple of boats there, with view to purchase for use on the Arkansas, will probably return to Little Rock tomorrow. Mr Lemon returned yesterday. He re- ports the two boats to be of good size and light draught, both of the stern wheel variety, about 15O feet overall When MT. Au- ten comes back some report will be made to the company con corning these boats. The princi- pal objection there is to them, is that they cannot be delivered for at least six months, being now ice bound in Lake Michigan. The boats were built for the Grand Rapids trade, but could not be used on the grant river, and were sold for lake trade, only to have license refused to the boats as they were built for riv- CT and not lake service, MT. Au- ten went to other places to look for boats, and will report upon them at the same time as the Menominee project is submitted to the stockholders of the river company. It is the hope of the company to get boats on the riv- CT at once, so as to begin the pac- ket line and barge coal from up the river points to Little Rock.
 Expert accountant Al Shields, who has been counting the states cash for the most of the past week, yesterday afternoon filed with Governor Pindall this re- port. The report shows the state to have S1,1OOOOO in currency and the total amount of all rev enue is about S3,OOO,OOO.
 There will be no hanging in Forrest City next month, for Gov Pindall yesterday afternoon com muted the murder sentence of hanging, which had been passed upon sam Cook, to 20 years inn prisonment in the penitentiary Cook killed Casa Powell, a ten ant on his farm, after a quarrel and ill feeling of long standing Gov.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New york Aug s-The cotton market was more active today with the bull lead CTS chewing greater aggressiyeness and the close steady ta decline of two points on CT Sales for the day were estimated at 52s.0e0 bales.
 The market opened steady at a decline of two points. to an advance of seven points and shortly after the call, the new crop positions worked up to a net gain of seveR points an wall Street support and a scat terlng demand from shorts which may have been promoted to some extent by the talk of too much rain in eastern and central sec fions of the belt.
 The liberal estimate for tomorrows re- eelpts in the Southwest checked the buying movement and during the middle of the morning. prices reacted under realizing and NQuidation particularly of August, which was evidently tn eresuit of a few additional notices.
 That position sold ten points net lower. but the later months barely touched the closing figures of last Saturday and dur ing the afternoon the whole list firmed up with ball support considerably in evidence. particularly during the last half hour, when local bears made quite a marked attack on the list. without however, securing a reac- fton of more than two or three points from the best. Detailed weather reports showed considerable precipitation in the vicksnurg Mobile and New Orleans sections, but other wise were considered generally favorable and most of the crop news was bearish.
 Southern spot markets officially reported were unchanged to hc lower.

 "TraeumereP' or schubert's 'serenade" will cause the heartstrinss to .vibrate and to treuble, even though there is no text. After all the air's the thing.
 And where did the minstrel king get that air? It is claimed that he wrote 1t. Close your eyes again and listen to the strains toNyou across the green fields. And what do you behold? You are transported to.s a mountains and dark forests, beautiful lakes and rushing streams and fruitful valleys. To a land of brave men and fair women; the skilled in the arts of war and the chase. To land of romance and history of mar ysl9ss interest Ana a, aS tss s. ehisttan sa ths s pipers advance in solemn array, and as they circle around the hall. the pipes send forth in tones at times exultant and again plaint- i've and mournful, the familiar strains of Dixie. And the scene changes and in a deep glen you behold the sturdy sons of the gathered again around their beloved chief, marshaIing for tEe hunt, or foray or per haps for bloody fray. And again the pipes the blood leap through the veins and that make the men chafe as young horse at the bit, until the order is given to march on, when they advance with great leaps and bounds. eager for the fray-and the air is Dixie" And again the scene changes, and 1t is a sad and detected band that bears home the leader. But few remain to do him honor. With him the flower of tine clan has fallen And in tones, that pierce the heart the pipes again wall forth Dixie.
 The professional musician will taught at all this and simply term 1t rubbish. But your musical scientist has come to be a mere man of numbers. He is more of mathematician. he judges music by dimen- siens he disseets 1t and measures and weighs it. and he says that no ancient min strei taught the hafpers and the pipers of the high la nds that air. and that Dixie is A modern of the moderns. But after all music Is a matter of the heart of the im- agination, if you will, and the musical ex- pert may know nothing or have nothing or ing that the air of Dixie Is genuinely scotch and highland Scotch at that.
