Shot Into the Negro Cabins.

Much excitement prevails among the negro residents of some of the plantations in the bottoms, 10 miles east of Lonoke, because of shooting into their cabins by unknown per sons. Those on the Governor Eagle plantation, which is operated by w. K. Oldham, seem to be the special objects of attack. and MT. Oldham was obliged temporarily to move some of his tenants to adjoining planta- tions to allay their fears, for they were talking of pulling up stakes and moving to a healthier cline Darkies on other plantations are also terror ized because of shots sent in their di- rection. None, thus far, has been hurt
 The situation is a serious one to the planters, who have to depend on the negroes to work their farms, and they are making vigorous efforts to dis cover who is doing the shooting, in order to prevent a wholesale exodus of the black population.

Hot Springs Must Cut Her Expenses.

In order to offset a deficit of $1,000 per month for the next five months, Mayor Jodd and the members of the Finance Committee of Hot Springs have determined upon a radical policy of retrenchment. Accordingly Detec- tives John Sullenberger and Lou Me Neill are to be relieved, and E. Demby and A. Stone, firemen, are to be dis pensed with The aerial truck, most important adjunct of the Fire Depart ment, has been forced out of commis- sion by the new arrangements.
 The salaries of the mayor, aldermen and Board of Public Affairs, it is said, may be reduced, as the financial con dition of the city is acute. Not since the club houses closed, two years ago, have the fire, police or street depart ments had anything like their normal strength.

The wound is very dangerous and may prove fatal. Gohst was arrested, but made his es- cape and has not yet been recaptured.

Unusual Spread of ErysipeIas.

What is hoped to be the last fatal ity as the result of the recent epidem- ic of erysipelas in Searcy, which has three weeks, occurred Sunday morn ing when Frank Epps, an old resident of Searcy, died from typhoid fever which followed a severe attack of cry sipales. Although MT. Epps' death was caused directly by typhoid fever, it is thought that the prior attack of erysipelas so weakened him that he was unable to withstand the ravages of fever

What Gas Does For Fort Smith.

One of the new factories which have been located in Fort Smith the past year affords an interesting illustration of the value of natural gas as an econ omic feature ot running a factory. The Woods pants factory at Fort Smith, has just completed it's first month of operation employing 75 pressers operating gas-heated irons. The factory building is heated by na- tural gas and the power is furnished by gas engine of 15-horse power During the month just closed the to- tai heating and power bill of the fac tory was an even $7.

When Christ asks us to do such work, it becomes at once of supreme importance, and invested with royal dignity.
 There is splendid service in faith AS well as in works, in love as well as in active ministering to the loved one.
 Those whose special gifts lie in ac. tivity and those whose minds tend rather to inner devotion, should appre- ciate one another. Christian work needs the devout and studious Mel ancthon, but not less the robust and heroic Luther.
