Bill Was No Good.

Yesterday a S5 bill was passed on Main street that might have had some value as a souvenir, but its monetary value was not as much as the value of the paper used in printing it. The bill is what was known as State money and was issued in 1855 by the Merchant & Traders Bank of Atlanta, Georgia. The owner of the bill had no doubt kept it because he could not cash it after the close of the war, but concluded to try it and succeeded. So far as the penalty is concerned, he had just as we'll have passed 8 coun- . terfit bill and if he is ever identi- fled he will always regret that he did not keep the souvenir money instead of placing it in circula- tion.-Van Buren Argus.

Willie Phillips Drowned.

George Phillips received a let ter from Capt. K. M. Wise of the U. $. Marine Corps, Marine Barracks, Sancti Spiritus, Cuba, dated Jan. 15, which conveyed the sad intelligence of the drown ing of his brother Willie, who was a private under Capt. Wise, having been in the service about two years.
 The letter read as follows:
 "Sir:-I am very sorry to in- form you of the sad death of your brother by drowning. The ac- cident happened in the Zaza river about twenty miles from here on the tenth instant. He was a member of 8 hunting party and it seems that he had shot a duck which drift d to over the other side of the river and while attempting to swim across with his rifle on his back, also clothing on, and a belt full of cartridges, gave out in mid stream. His companion Hospital Apprentice, Joseph Van Osiniski tried to res- cue him without success. His body was recovered after three days by natives and was buried at Mapas, which was the nearest cemetery.
 I enclose an inventofy of his effects and request to know what disposition you wish made of them. Very sorry that l have to convey such sad news. I re- main, Yours truly,
 X. M. WISE. Captain, U. s. Marine Corps,
 Post Commander. "Mr. George H. Phillips
 Green Forest, Ark, U. s. A."
 In answer to the letter George requested that the effects men toned in inventory be shipped here, and informed the Captain that it was the will of the parents of the deceased that the remains also be shipped back here for final interment.
 The unfortunate soldier was born and raised here, being a son of MT. and Mrs. John Phil lips. It is needless to say that the relatives are prostrated with grief atthe sad news.

To ake Stump for Kirby.

A letter was recieved in Little rock last Saturday from Senator Jeff Davis stating that he had prepared a list of appointments to speak in Arkansas on behalf of the candidacy of Attorney General Kirby for the Democrat ic gubernatorial nomination, beginning early in February.
 The list contains thirty ap- pointments, confined almost entirely to church houses and school houses in the remote rural districts of the state. His object in confining his dates to the rural districts is to make in- roads on the followers of George w. Donaghey of Conway.
 It is generally known and con- ceded that Mir. Donaghey's strength is principally confined to the country vote, and that every convert made for MT Kirby will lesson Mir. Dona. ghey's chance for receiving the nomination.

Freight on the made-up cans is one of the most important items in the seasons expense account and if the tin is shipped here flat and then made into cans there would be almost enough saving on the freight alone to pay for the labor of making.

c. B. Grim is playing an ex.

weeks ago he lost all the rep utation he had as marksman in such a way as to reflect slightly upon his veracity as a teller of hunting stories, and now he has fallen flat as a weather prophet. Last Sunday he was in a small crowd whose conversation drifted on to the weather conditions, and MT. Grim assured them that there was one sign of snow he had noticed all his life and had never yet seen it fail. "See there" /" said he, pointing to the unmelted snow on the north side of the barn and along the north side of the garden fence. By shot, whenever you see the snow hang on that way it is a sure sign that there will come one on top of it right off, never saw it fail" A brief survey of the clouds by crowd discovered some "medi- cation," as the darky would say, and each ran home to get in a few extra sticks of wood. But here it is Thursday and no snow and the north sides of the barn and garden fence are clear and Grim's reputation is still at stake. He would have been willing to have seen a snow five feet deep to make good his prediction.
 A sort of a romancing wedding occurred at Carrollton Monday night. While MT. and Mrs. Bill Sweeten were in attendance at a Farmers Union meeting, their daughter, Miss Lovie, aged about IA, slipped out over to Eld. Fosters where she met Charlie Dixon. who had the necessary papers for the organization of a little union of their own, and by the assistance of the preacher it was perfected. The young people started at once for Dix on's home out toward Alpena. They were over-taken by the brides folks who sought to in- ducs her to return but without result.

Why American Gardens Disappoin

The reason why American garden.
ing has not yet come up to the stand
ard of the Europeans is simply that
we do not pay enough, says a writer
In Country Life in America. We EN-
ploy incompetent landscape designers
Or none; we beat the nurseryman
down on his plants; we are not will
ing to pay first-class gardener what
he is worth. Yet we are dead game"
when it comes to yachts, automobiles,
horses, dogs and houses. Why should
not our wealthy men be equally will
ing to pay for good gardens?
/ believe they will. These things
are all parts of the same outdoor life.
The more selfrespect man has the
more he values his family life and
the more willing he is to spend as
much on his outdoor living room as on
one of his indoor rooms.
The writer then describes a land.
scape garden in Pittsburg back yard
which cost about $1,000 The effects
are certainly splendid.
