Costly Poultry.

Frank Bsandon, colored epicure,
 is very fond of chicken, as was proved
 by an investment he made Tuesday
 night. \ few evenings prior to this demonstration he happened 10 be at the home Of old Aunt Fannie
 Haskins. who resides in the north
 western suburbs of the city. Supper being announced. the visitor was in-
 yited 10 partake. During the course Of the meal Br'er Brandon inquired very particularly, but slyly. as 10 the number and character of firearms kept in the house, and found there were no weapons about the premises. Tuesday night two of Aunt Fannie's s plump bullets disappeared. Next morning she appealed 10 Deputy Sherif Potts. who, learning of the peculiar quilzing emanating from Brandon on the occasion of his visit at the Haskins home. began to look up that persons whereabouts the night before. IL did not take him long to locate the missing chickens at the home of Brandon's inamoratas a short distance in the country. The thief was soon i'll the tolls and his ease was heard in Justice Turley's court, where he pleaded guilty to a charge of petty larceny and was fined slo and costs, the total amounting to sl62 rather an extravagant price for poultry, even in these days of high prices. The culprit paid his fine and was released.

Mississippi Criminal Captured Here.

On Monday morning NIT. W. E. Hubbard, Of Houston, Mississippi, ar rived in the city and sought the as sistance of our officers in locating a negro murderer named Gus Griffin. The case was turned over to Deputy Sherif L. II. Potts. the great colored sleuth of Eastern Arkansas. who gen. erally gets his man when he goes after him. Potts arrested q young yellow negro answering the descrip- tion closely except as 10 height He then located the right man in the restaurant Of John Harris, colOred, where he was employed. With City Marshal Davis Potts repaired to Har- ris' place and at once placed Griffin under arrest. The prisoner protested that il was case of mistaken iden- tity and that his real name was Will Williams, the cognomen under which he had sailed since his advent here a short time ago. He quickly weakened, however. when confronted by the Mississippi officer. who has known him all his life. and acknowledged he was the man wanted. and seemed not al all disturbed al his predicament. laughing and testing with acquaint- anees who crowded around him when he was taken to the depot platform far transportation to the scene of his misdoing.
 MT. Hubbard left with his prisoner an the early evening train for Mis- sissippi, where Griffin will probably pay the penalty Of his crime, which the officer informed The Times man was complicity with two others in a most atrocious murder, the victim being an old negro man. Griffin, who is almost white, was located at For rest City by means of letter he had written his wife at Houston, asking her to join him here. This letter reached the woman Friday and MT Hubbard heard of it Sunday after noon, starting on the first train fol Forrest City. It was pretty smootl catch" all around.

Raise More Corn.

To encourage our customers to plant more corn we propose to give as a premium to the one of them showing the best twenty ears of corn on or before November Is, 1909, one of our best Studebaker Buegies. We do not believe that our farmers will ever prosper as they should until they raise more corn. More corn means more hogs and smaller store accounts. Millions of dollars go to the Western farmers every year from the South to pay for corn, meat and mules, conse- quentlY the Western farmers are out of debt and show larger bank accounts than ever before. The Seath- should be self sustaining.

Now. farmers. 1 guess that you
 were all too busy 10 write and express
 your opinion about what we are going
 to do about raising too much cotton,
 or you just don't care, but tell you all 1t is time for you 10 think about it, for the time is coming that you will have to raise your own bread and meat al home. You want money now, and after awhile money won't buy anything. All these moneyed people that have got plenty of il now will wish they could give il 10 some one of Us old farmers for something that would be wortlf more than it was. mean ali of the laboring class of peo- pie. farmers mostly, for they are tLe ones that keep everything going. for they raise everything that the people eat and wear and drink. too But still the poor old farmers and their wives, and sons and daughters, are snubbed and scorned by the rich peo- pie, or those who think they are rich. But suppose all of the farmers in tie United States would raise just enough corn to make his crop and 10 fatten his meat: and make his bread, and raise potatoes and other things to run him. say two years, where would these people get their living:
 can tell you, they wouldn't get 1t
 at all unless We poor old farmers should get sorry for them and should give them something for as little as We could tell you it is awful hard to think that the poor laboring people work and raise everything that is used. and then he is not respected any more than if he was dog, and not as much as one of these little old poodle dogs the rich people have. and if their wives happen to go out to a big dinner or 20 to town To sell baS- ket of eggs. and has on dress that don't it right up-to-date, she is laughed at and talked about. But, God bless the poor old thing. she is far better than those that make fun of her. and if the farmer will raise his corn and meat at home and keep some good COWS, and get his wife some gooI chickens and ducks and turkeys they can live al home. II is awful tC eat just any kind Of meat, and that is l just what we get when We pay 8 dollar for seven and half pounds o1 meat at the store. Bat then. it i. our own fault; We could eat good meat if we would raise it. And, theT they make us pay just what they want Us to in these little old country stores. They sell everything higher than anywhere else. l think that every farmer ought to send in th,
 fall and get the price list of every
 thing that he needs, and then takt
 one bale of cotton and sell it and theI
 take the money and send for his sup
 plies all at once and be done with il
 The freight on il won't be as much q sl0 worth would cost you down her, on credit, for you can carry every

PAPER is MULCTED FOR
USING WRONG PORTRAIT
Woman Wins Libel Suit Against
Chicago Tribune Company

WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE case OF
Elizabeth Peck versus the Chicago
Tribune company involving charge
of libel by Mrs. Peck against the
Tribune because of the publication OF
her portrait as part or an advertise
ment indorsing a certain brand of
whisky. was decided by the supreme
court OF the United States today in
favor Of Mrs. Peck. Justice Holmes
announced the decision of the court.
1t appears from the record in the
case that Mrs. Peck was a resident of
Iowa and a temperance advocate. Her
picture was printed over another name.
that of nurse, and she was quoted in
strong Endorsement of whisky. Jus
tice Holmes said:
Many might recognize the plain
tiff's portrait without recognizing her
name, and those who did know might
be led to infer she had sanctioned the
publication under an alias.
He also held that even though the
publication had been by a mistake the
publisher was not relieved from re-
sponsibility The court added:
1T seems to US impossible to say
that the obvious tendency of what is
imputed to the plaintiff by this adver-
tisement is not seriously to hurt her
standing with a considerable and re-
spectacle class in the community"

San Francisco about this man Cooper

can state positively that any claim
Mr.. Cooper has made In connection with
what his medicine will do for the stom-
ach is very conservative.
For three years I have suffered tor
lures beyond description. l have

Cooper has been in San Francisco
for some time and it happened that one
or two of my friends were trying this
Cooper medicine. They urged me TO
do the same, but I only laughed at
them. They were persistent and l OBJ
