MUST LEAVE MONUMENTS.

Forrest City, August 5 Land owners, timbermen, surveyors and everybody else had better take notice that the destruction of gov ernment monuments of any Unit ed States survey is a serious of fense if they wish to avoid trou- ble with Uncle Sam.

CONSOLIDATING SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

Little Rock. August o-Many re- ports for counties over the state on the school districts have been filed with Superintendent of Pub lie Instruction George B. Cook and one of the features of the conn., ments which are attached by the county superintendents, is that all recommend in the rural dis tricts the consolidation of the ma jority of the districts. This they argue will give a school term a. bout twice as long as the present term, which will increase the att tendance and be of much benefit to the pupils of the counties. These recommendations coming spontaneously from the different counties without a suggestion, will lgive the next eg- islatupe a new law to cons,d der, as a prominent educat tor is to pre- pare one cutting down the num- Der of special schoo, districts.

SQUIRREL HUNTERS" PAID.
Forty-seven Years After They Served
Soldiers Get Wages.

Cincinnati, -Forty-seven years
after they served as volunteer sol
diers to protect Cincinnati from a
threatened raid by confederate troops,
the Squirrel Hunters" of Cincinnati
have received their pay. In the mail
received by number of Cincinnations
were checks for $13, a months pay
for private soldier in the United
States army.
In 1852 General Kirby Smiths raid
ers made a dash, through Kentucky,
and it was feared that they planned
an attack on Cincinnati. Governor
Todd Of Ohio called for sixty thous-
and volunteers to mobolize at once
in Cincinnati, and men and boys with
squirrel rifles and the old family
fowling pieces trel1ked to the city in
large numbers, awaiting the approach
Of the expected foe. The confeder-
ates got within a few miles Of Gov
ington, but turned aside, giving Gin
cinnati wide berth.
Efforts were made a number of
times to secure payment, but moth
ing was done until at the recent ses-
sion of congress an appropriation was
made giving each squirrel hunter"
a months pay.
