About Pecan Culture.

We continually read in the
newspapers of phenomenal yields
from pecan orchards. The profits
from these orchards are almost
fabulous and pecan orchards un-
doubtediy pay the most handsome
dividends Of anything known in
horticulture-pecans are the most
valuable of commercial nuts aud
the supply can never equal the
demand. The trees grow in any
Southern soil and require but lit
tie attention. Anyone wishing to
improve his property should write
to the Southern Nut Nursery Co.
Of Lafayette, Louisiana, for their
free catalonge about pecan cul-
ture. This concern owns and OPP
crates the largest Pecan Nursery
In the world and makes busi-
ness of selling pecan trees.

WILL GREEN MAY
 BE UNDER ARREST
Officers From Hope Have Gone tc Illinois to See Whether Man Held There Is the Slayer
 of Hamilton.

Hope, March Word was received here today that Will Green, the negro who shot and killed City Marshal John T. Hamilton here on the evening of January g last, had been cap tured by the sheriff at Shawnee. town, H.. and was being held for the authorities at Hope. T. B. Rowden and Dr. Sutton, deputies, left tonight for Shawneetown to identify the negro, and if he is the right man, to bring him back to answer for his crime.
 The sheriff at Shawneetown a few days ago saw man answer. Ing the description of Green. He wrote to the proprietor of the Bruce hotel asking for a minute description, and upon securing it promptly arrested the negro The negro under arrest stoutly protests his innocence, but he has two gold teeth, the pock marks and the scar in the groin that Green has, and he seems to fit the description of Green to a nicety.
 Today at Hope those who had agreed to subscribe a reward of S1 .000 were visited, and the mon- ey has been deposited in the bank. This reward will be paid for Identification and arrest. In addition to it, the state has offer ed a reward of $250 for the con viction of Green, making S1, ,250 to which the Illinois sheriff will be entitled if he has captured the right man.

TROUBLE OVER LAND DEAL.
M. W. Jones Held on Charge of Obtain ing Money Under False Pretense.

A land suit, in which NJ. w. Jones, manager of the North Wales Slate Company, was de- fendaut, and Marion Lewis, plaintiff, both parties residing near Big Fork, was up for hear ing before Squire Sam Smith yesterday afternoon.
 It seems that the trouble grew out of the sale of l25 acres of land belonging to Mir. Lewis upon which he had given MT. Jouea an option, Mir, Lewis tu receive S750 when sale of land was made. Later on MT. Jones sold the tract of land, receiving 5000, which amount he turned over to MT. Lewis, who, after taking out the S750 which was coming to him turned the balance over to Mir. Jones. Shortly ai- terward, however, Lewis decided that he had not received a proper share of the money and went to see Mir. Jones iu regard to the matter. MT. Jones refused to pay Lewis any more of the money, claiming that the S750 he received was the price agreed upon for the land. Failing Iu his effort to get more of the money, Lewis had Jones arrested charging him with embezzlement.
 Mr. Lewis in giving in his evidence stated that he gave Mir. Jones an option deed on the land which was te be sold for not less than $l, 1000, he to receive S750 and Jones S250 for making the sale. He also stated that Jones claimed to have sold the land to a Mir. Harrington for Sl,000 and later tranferred the deed from Harrington to a party by the name of Andrews from whom he received Sz,000
 After bearing the evidence Squire Smith dismissed the charge of embezzlement against Jones, but held him to the grand jury on a charge of false pretense. placing his bond at S250, which Mir. Jones readily gave and was released.
 ! It is also stated that a civil suit will be instituted against Mir. Jones for the recovery of this money.
 ] The attorneys in the case were ! M. F. Olney for the defendant and McPhetrige aud Alley for the plaintiff.

FOLD GUARD" NOT
 OUT AT MALVERN
Davis Speaks to Donaghey and Hiue- mon Crowd and is Nettled Tells Auditor to Soak
 His Head"

Malvern, March 10, United States Senator Jeff Davis had rather bad hour here tonight, when he spoke at the court house, where he was greeted by crowd, which seemingly was divided en- tirelv between Hinemon and Donaghey, and which contained very few of the "old guard. " The demonstrations for Hinemon and Douaghey nettled the speaker very much, and he begged the audience to be quiet, saying that such demonstrations would get into the newspapers.
 Tells Auditor to Soak His Head"
 The senator abused Donaghey, Hinemon, Ludwig, Pindall and Rhoton. He said If Kirby were nominated Pindall and Ludwig would try to defeat him by ap- pointing county election commits Sioners to count him out. At this 1uucture someone in the audience gave hurrdn for a gubernatorial l candidate opposed by Davis, and the senator angrily told the man to Ego and soak your head" The man replied, 'you had better go and soak your head and go back to Washington, where you arc more needed than in Arkansas dicIating to the people, The man added that Hot Springs county did not want Senator Davis' dictation and could take care of itselt.
 If there were any of the "old guard" present they had nothing to say.

BURGLARS AT WORK.
Brake Into Crawford's Store Carrying Away Three Grips Full of Pants

The dry goods store of G. F. Ora wford X Co.,, on South Mena street was broken into last week, the burglars making their en- trance through a window at the rear of the building.
 Three grips, three pair of shoes and eig ghteen pair of pants, val. ued at $40, were stolen by the burglars.
 The parties who burglarized this store are no doubt old hands at the business, for ir removing the shoes from the boxes they put the tops back on the empty boxes and replaced them back on the shelves.
 So far no clew has been obtain ed as to the identity of the par. ties.

SWALLOWED AN ENGINE.
Iron Mountain Switch Engine Fell Into Cave-in of Old Mine Under
 the Track.

Van Buren. March IA pc. culiar railroad accident occurred at Denning.
 It appears that an old coal mine extended under the tracks and that the earth, saturated by the rain of Sunday night caved in un- der the weight of the passing engine and that the machine dropped to the bottom of the chasm many feet below the sur face of the earth. Fortunately the engine crew had time to es- cape.
 A wreckiug outfit was ordered from Van Buren and instructions to get every available car of cin- ders and slack and hurry them to the scene oi the accident, as it was feared that the ground would continue to cave unless they were able to control it once.

TIMBER THIEVES FACING TROUBLE
Forest Supervisor Record Returns From Inspection of National For est East of Mena Lumber
 Seized by Officers.

Forest Supervisor Record has just returned to Mena after a week spent in making a personal examination of conditions in the south and eastern portions of the Arkansas National Forest, leav- ing John E. Reach, J B. Earle and ] B. Cdssada in the field. He reports very pleasant trip through the hills, which came as a welcome change from the con- fnement of the office work at Fort Smith.
 MT. Record finds that there is a vast amount of work ahead of the forest officers in that section. Illegal timber cutting has been conducted for years in open de- fance of law. Homestead entries were made in bad faith for the sole purpose of stripping the land of its timber. This condition of affairs is to be changed and the forest supervisor has ordered a lot of timber seized and will bring about the arrest of guilty parties.
 Owing to the open defiance of the law in a certain portion of the district, aud more especially south of Mt. Ida, the forest supervisor has made several addi. tions to the force of guards iu that locality. Special watch is being made to apprebend some incorrigible boys who persist in destroying the fire warnings which are posted throughout the forest.
 The only people opposed 10 the creation of the National Forests are those who are unfamiliar with its purposes and intentions, and those who fear the law. Many people just outside the Ar kansas Forest are petitioning the supervisor to extend the bouuder- ies so as to include them. The local office is much gratified at the excellent showing made against the control of the fir situation and only a very small area has been burned over; a mere trifle compared with conditions m the past. The best citizens everywhere are heartily in sympa- thy with this protection and are rendering valuable cooperation.
 A certain person near Gravelly went upon the forest sometime ago and built fire which he did not extinguish. He had no idea that anyone knew of it and his surprise can be imagined when he received a letter from Forest Supervisor Record on the subject. In view of the fact that at the time the service was so new here that the regulations were not widely known 1t was decided to dismiss his case with a warning. There is no excuse for ignorance of the law and the next offender will be severely dealt with as warning example to others.
