What Alfalfa Will Do.

A grower of alfalfa who has been in the business for twenty years. sums up the merits of this plant as follows: First. it's feeding value in the form of hay is far superior to that of any other, and nearly equal to corn, pound for pound; second, it's yield per acre is much larger than that of any other tame grass third, it combines excellent pastur- age with it's value as hay; fourth. t is one of the best possible fertilizers of the scil; fifth. once established in the soil it will last indefinit 3ly; sixth. a ton of well cured alfalfa hay contains almost as much pro- ten as ton of wheat bran and is worth for feeding almost as much. THese facts ought to set men to thi ing and experimenting.

Attention Democrats.

We desire to urge that every Democratic voter of the Eth Con gressional district shall not fail to vote at the election to be held or Tuesday November s, 1908.
 Hon. Minor Wallace, the Demo- cratic nominee for Congress. is op- posed by Republican candid t.. The Republican party is vice awake and it is quite important that a Democratic Congressman shall be elected from every district in the State.
 Appearances indicate strong possibility that Mir. Bryan will be elected President, and if his hands ire to be upheld in his position. that The People Shall Rule.' he must have the greatest strength possible in Congress.
 It will not do to say that "one vote makes no difference and 1 will stay at home" You do not know how many will say this. The Re- publican candidate for congress grounds bis hope of election or the faith that a arge number of Demo cratic voters will say this.
 We again urge that every voter take a personal interest in the cleo tion, and do his best to see that his neighoor does likewise. The election is more than usually inn portant at this time. in view of the great fight the Democratic party is making in behalf of the people
 Every man is expected now to do his duty.

MET ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
Conductor luther S. Howard Killed on Friday
 Afternoon

A pail of gloom fell over the resi- dents of Huttig on last Friday af- ternoon shortly after 5 o'clock when the word spread that Con- ductor Luther s. Howard had been fatally crushed between the bump CTS while making a coupling in the yards.
 The deceased, who had charge the yards as well as the L. & P. B. passenger to Dollar Junction, had left one of his brakemen at the main line switch to watch for the L. P. & M. local while he assisted another brakeman spot some coal cars at the coal bins. He was be- tween the cars making the coupling and giving the signals to the brake man, who in turn was repeating them to Engineer w. McCrary. The cars were coming together slowly and the supposition is that he attempted to step between the breech to raise the pin from the op p5site side when he was caught and his hip crushed flat. He gave a cry and the brakeman signaled the engineer to back up which was immediately done and MT Howard fell into the arms of the brakeman with the exclamation that he was done for.
 Willing hands placed him tender U on a improvized stretcher and carried him to the hospital where he expired about 40 minutes later, after all that could be done was done, with a prayer on his lips to his God asking forgiveness for any sins he had committed in this life.
 Luther s. Howard was one of the company's most respected employ ees and was held in the highest esteem by every person who knew him, which caused his tragic and untimely death to affect everyone as though a near and dear relative  had been called to his last reward.
 The deceased was in his twenty seventh year and during his three years here had endeared him. self to the hearts of our people as probably no other has done in that time. He was sober, honest and industrious. lover of home and of gen al eis. on. which was a combination seldom found in rost men, and that he eill be greatly missed is doubted by none.
 He was member of Rowland Lodge. No. 594. F. & A. M., and Fl Dorado Chapter No. IA, R. A. M.. and leaves a wife and one small son to mourn his taking away along with his mother, three brothers and two sisters.

Halloween is coming. October 3l is the date. Halloween is the name popularly given to the eve or virgil of All Hallows. or the festival of All Saints. which falls on the first of November. Halloween dates back to pagan times. and had it's origin when superstition vas rife and people were fond of the supernatural.
 In Shakespeare time Halloween was celebrated h England and parts of Scotland with games and anuse nsnts, such as nut cracking and diving in tubs of water for ap pies. On this night it was general ly believed that if c3y maiden dared risk a cold night and other midnight danger. she might gaze into a well and obtain a glimpse f her future partner for life.
