 Charles Agard and wife of Swallows, Colo, arrived in Green Forest last Sunday on a very sad mission, having come to accom- pany the body of their only child, Frank, a son aged 14 years, who accidently shot him. self while out hunting with some other boys near their Colorado home, on the 18th inst. In seiz- ing his gun in hurry to shoot at some rats the weapon was dis charged, the shot entering the boys side inflicting a wound from which he died instantly. The corpse was taken from here to Roscoe, Boone county, where in- terment was made on Monday, a vast congregation of friends be- ing present. The Agards were formerly residents of the vicinity of Coin, now Markley, and have many warm friends who deeply sympathize with them in their great bereavement.
 That prince of good fellows and giant among insurance men, E. c. Cooper, dropped in at his old home here Saturday a little more than long enough to say ''howdy" and good by. The Fri. bune learned in sort of confi- dential way from correspondence shown us that the DesMoines Fire Insurance Co.,, for which company MT. Cooper is the spec- ial agent for the state of Oklaho- ma, is quite little bit more than well pleased with his work and some time ago notified him that the company will be pleased to retain him in the position the coming year. Few men have ever risen so rapidly in any line of business as has MT. Cooper as insurance man. From humble local agency he has risen in the space of a few months to the highest rank among employees of his class, drawing a salary equal to federal employ with a good "pull." In company with his mother-in Jaw, Mrs. Sarah War ren, MT. Cooper left Sunday night for lis home at Oklahoma City, where Mrs. Warren is en- toying the holiday season with her daughters.
 Uncle Jeff Wells has encoun- tered a streak of bad luck lately that has made him several dol lars poorer. His two fine Jersey COWS layed down and died dur ing last week on account of hav- ing eaten smutty corn in the stalk field and four fine porkers succumbed to the effects of an unusual accident. MT. Wells burned brush heap in the hog lot and thinking that taste of charcoal and ashes would mere- ly add to their thrift, he threw feed of corn into the ash bed af- ter shower and the result was four deaths from lie poisoning. MT. Wells says fellow never gets too old to learn but he is not accustomed to paying quite so dearly for his schooling as he ], has had to do in these instances. The COWS lost were highly prized animals. It would have taken a round hundred to purchase one of them.
