POPULAR YOUNG MAN
BROWNS AT POcAHONTAs

POcahontas, July, s. Especially
Charles P. GLOVES, aged 25 wears,
a prominent young business man
of this city, member of the we'll
know Fl rm Of Johnson
Cloyes Hardware Company, was
drowned in Black River at this
place about s o'clock Monday
night. Mr.. Cloyes, IN company
with several of his young friends,
was bathing III the river just above
the railroad bridge, when it was
proposed by some members of the
party that they swim across the
river. Cloyes being a good swim
mer did not hesitate to join them
in the attempt, but being not very
well acquainted with the water at
this point he was caught in the
current and carried down in the
presence of his companions who,
having as much as they could do to
save themselves, could render him
no assistance. The news was
brought up town and large num-
Der of citizens hurried to the
scene, but owing to the darkness,
it was impossible to do anything
toward the recovery of the body,
At an early hour yesterday
morning a large crowd gathered
with boats, drags, etc., and began
searching for the body, but up to
this time it has not been found.
The water where he went down is
about II or Is feet deep.
Mr.. Cloyes was model young
man. He was a son of Rev. A. U.
GLOVES, a well known travelling
preacher of this section. He for
merly lived at Paragould ana
Memphis, coming here about
year ago and engaging in the
hardware business. He made
friends very rapidly and was
prominent in all church and Sun
day school work. His parents are
now living at Paragould.-Dem'

FORESTRY GOES WRONG.

First attempts at forestry on the
part of the Pennsylvania railroad
have thus far resulted in something
closely approaching disaster. Since
the road began planting locust trees
on 1000 acres of land in Pennsyl-
vania, six years ago, the arborcultur-
lists have set out 1,855,OOo young
trees. Up to the present scarcely
one of the trees has escaped ruin by
insects, and now it is proposed to try
again with red oak, English larch,
pin and red oak and red and Scotch
pine.

How and When Flies Breed.

We are told that ninety nine of
every hundred flies that infest houses
belong to the family which breeds in
stable filth. One female lays an aver
age Of one hundred and twenty eggs in
a season; tn eegg matches into a mag
got that eats ravenously and grows
fast for five days; the maggot turns
into a pupa and sleeps nearly five
days, then in about ten days from the
laying of the egg the fly energies from
the pupa state with wings-an adult
fly, to travel about and spread disease
wherever it finds an opportunity. Each
Of the young female flies is soon ready
to take up the work of multiplying its
kind. Each fly is capable of visiting
garbage heap and carrying thence
germs Of such diseases as typhoid
fever or dyphtheria. Some of our SOL
diers while in camp during the Span
ish War were infected with typhoid
fever by flies that had access TO sew
age swamps. A farmer who keeps his
own place clean may be made sick
by flies that come from a garbage pile
Of some sick neighbor. We are told
that if there were no filthy barn yards
or stables there would be no flies,
since they would have no place to
grow; and we are also told that they
will grow In any animal or fowl ex-
crement A Arm compost heap is al
most free from maggots, as the female
flies can not penetrate such heaps to
lay eggs. A hen working in a heap
of manure will destroy many young
flies. The hen also makes the surface
too dry for Matching the fly eggs.
All this shows that each person
should keep his own premises clean
and have his house screened, 80 that
flies may not come from a neighbours,
where there is sickness, and thus oar
ry the disease. 1t has been stated
that one female lays an average of
one hundred and twenty eggs In a
season, and supposing that one-haH
that many fes develop; figure up what
the number of her offspring Is after
three or four generations.
Do not be content with keeping
the premises clean outdoors and
screening the house. Do not leave
food uncovered, and keep the floors
and the tables clean. 1t is an error
to keep room dark continually to
keep out flies. Flies do not like q
room where there is no moisture or
mold. Let in the sunlight, and make
the room unpleasant for them
Where there Is no sunlight they will
find conditions they like, even though
they gather at windows where light
comes in. Have screen doors hung
to swing outward, so flies will move
from the door as 1t is opened-South-
ern Farm Gazette.

THE EVIL IN FRETTING.

There is one sin which seems to
us is everywhere and by every
body underestimate and quite too
much overlooked in valuation OF
character. 1t is the sin of fret
ting, so common that unless it
rises above its usual monotone we
do not observe it. Watch any or
binary coming together of people
and see how many minutes it will
be before somebody frets-that is,
makes more or less complaining

There are plenty of things to
fret about. 1t is simply astonisb.
lug how much annoyance may be
found in the course of every days
living, even at the simplest, if one
only Keeps a sharp eye ont on that
side of things. Even holy writ

to the sparks flying upward in the

will reach it. Fretting is all time
wasted on the road.

Don't Need to Be Petted.

The farmers don't need to be petted
and talked to like they were chill
dren.
The politicians and gravy hunters
will tell the farmers what great things
they can do, and say nice things about
them, and how thep are oppressed
and this reminds US Of the proverb
that faithful is the rebuke of friend,
but the kisses of an enemy are de-
ceitful." The Guide thinks the farm
ers, now that they are being enlight-
ened, should see their duty to their
country and perform it.
What's the use of being petted?
Flow does chat help the matter?
What we want is downright plain
talk, and when you hear a man get
up and shell the corn down to you
in way that you want to kick your
self, he is more apt to be your friend
than the man who, with tears in his
eyes, says he loves you, oh, so good
Farmers, listen to che advice and
even the rebukes of your friends, and
heed not the caresses and kisses of the
deceitful enemy.
Let US always be plain with each
other and with the union. When we
think some things are going wrong
we expect to say 50, and If our read
ers think we are going wrong we will
thank them 70 tell US about it. Don't
try to pet US. Tell US the barefaoed,
plain truth.-Farmers' Union Guide.

ISIiFE WORTHLIVING?

When you hear this question
asked by a man or woman, with
lips curved downward and voice
attuned to discomfort, you may Sci
that person down as Supremacy
selfish. He or she asks practic-
ally, 'fIs life worth living fo1
me?" Worth living7 Of course
it is, so long as there is one single
other soul in The world. If the
queriSt were the last of his race,
then indeed the answer might well
be "No;" but while there is an
other human being for whom we
can do a favor, or whose interests
We may advance, life is indeed
"worth living"
Friend, when you find yourself
depressed and inclined to think
that life holds nothing for you,
look around you (not very far
away, and do the very first favor
for another that comes to your
hand. 1t may be very small
one, but do it; and keep on, day
by day, hour by hour and minute
by minute, working for others, for
truly this alone makes life worth
living.

SOCIAL PROBLEMS.

down by rs per cent.
Still the trouble of the arbiters
was not over, for the remainder quar-

themselves back to a vendor of

other.

pecan industry of Texas:
"If | were a young man would &c

bilities of the pecan industry, and de

species of the pecan and in doing the
