ONE VAST CRANBERRY STEW
Terrifying Report That the New ter sey Crop Has Been Totally De-
 stroyed by Fire.

We are accustomed to the annual scare about the failure of the Jer- sey peach crop and the tales of devastation in the apple orchards in western New York. These stories are all right, and we accept them with a half-formed notion that they may be true. Frosts have been known to nip and worms to blight the orchards, and so we accept these tales with only few misgivings that they are spread abroad for com mercial purposes. But there is a limit 10 creduGty, and we think it has been reached in a story that comes to us from Mount Holly, N. J. The New Jersey cranberry crop has bcon-burned! Think of it. All those acres of bog and swamp one vast roaring cranberry stew. And now what are we going to do when Thanksgiving day comes round? Probably we will find con- ditions in regard to the cranberry supply just as we ordinarily find them in relation to the peach crop. That no matter how serious the damage supposed to have been in- flicted, the supply is about as large as usual and the quality about the same. However, it is not usual to have bog catch fire, and there may be more truth in this dispatch than one might suspect.

Under the present plan it will be possible for the graduates to obtain much more renumerative positions. Hat trim ming will be taught in connection with dressmaking.

WHY THEIR SILvERWARE LASTS

The Dutch, when they invite you, and they are not guest-seeking race, are extremely hospitable. Some times, however, when it comes to dinner, their active hospitality de- mands an energetic recognition. The table is laid with piles of plates be- fore each chair. On your first visit the spoons and forks are heavy sil- yer, the knives of the finest steel and ivory. You never, however, eat with them again. When you have been shown that family possesses them, that ends it.

secure full value out of the cere- monv. For this reason we have weddings in balloons, in automo- piles, in church steeples and in caves. However, California couple got the farthest from sanity by be- ing married in the middle of river. This was indeed a faint groping for originality. Think, however, what might be done along that same line by a couple with imagination. For instance, they might arrange to be out in the orchard where they could be stung by bumblebee at the right moment, so they would make the answers good and emphatic.

TO ENFORCE GAME LAWS
State Sportsmen Raise Fund to Employ Warden.

Little Rock, Sept. 18.-Pot-hunting and fishing in Arkansas, or violations of the game law of any character, has seen its last season. The State Sport mems Association has taken the mat ter up in earnest and in the past week raised over $2,500 and, increased the membership from 250a to over 1,- 900. Every cent of money raised from the members and sympathizers will be expended in the running down and prosecution of violations of the fish and game laws of the state.
 E. T. Vissart, well-known sports man of Little Rock, has been appoint ed state agent, and Governor Don aghey will give him the authority to act as such. Vissart will visit every section of the state and appoint agents in each county. He has been instructed to get men who will work with the determination of driving out the game hog, the nonresident hunter and hsher, and general law violator |
 The association held a meeting in Little Rock during the past week, presided over by President T. T. Omohundro of Fort Smith. A con- mittee was appointed, consisting of T. T. Omohundro, E. V. Vissart, Paul Litzke, R. D. Crenshaw, Dr. James L. Dibrell and Baldy Vinson, the attor- ney of the association, to call on Gov ernor Donaghey and ask for his as sistance. He advised them to digest the laws of the different localities, have Attorney General Norwood pass upon them, and then he would assist in every way possible. State Agent Vissart is now engaged in this work.
 It is the aim of the organization to drive from the state the 'house-bOat ! fishermen who are seining and dyna- hitting the streams of the state and getting advantage of the millions of fish the government has placed in the streams, as well as the nonresidents who come in and hunt, ship out their game as baggage, and then return to their states to write funny stories of the Arkansas natives. Assistance has been promised from the sports men of all sections of the state.

OBSERVE BIRTH OF
 ADMIRAL SEMMFS

In honor of the one hundredth an- niversary of the birth of Admiral Raphael Semmes, the great command CT of the Confederate navy, the mem- bers of Jeff Davis Camp of United Confederate Veterans of this city will hold appropriate services at the Methodist church on Sunday after noon, September 26, at 3 o'clock. The anniversary occurs on Septemebr 27. but the observance will be held on Sunday preceding.
 This action is taken by the camp at the request of Commander Clement A. Evans of the United Confederate Veterans, who says in a circular ad- dressed to the local camp:
 Undoubtedly, no soldier in the army of the Confederacy nor sailor in it's navy contributed as much to familiarize the inhabitants of the globe with the stars and bars the | flag of the Confederate states, as did the gallant commander of the Sump- tier and the Alabama. Brief was the life of each of these vessels, but it was full of glorious action, and the skillful way in which our great naval leader managed all matters, whether as marine lawyer, able seaman or daring commander, reflected the high est credit on his abilities and added luster to the cause he represented"

GRAIN DEALER
 OWES S300,000

Little Rock, Sept. 18.-T. H. Bunch, the largest and most exten- sive grain dealer in the Southwest, upon his own application, was placed in the hands of receivers at 5:30 o'clock yesterday evening. Chancel- Tor Martineau appointed H. K. Coch- ran and C.. c. Kavanaugh receivers, and each gave bond for $100,000. The failure created great surprise, as it was entirely unexpected.
 Parties in position to know say Mir. Bunch's liabilities will reach $300,000 and his assets considerably in excess of these figures. The principal credi- tors are banks in Little Rock, Mem phis, St. Louis, Kansas City and Ok lahoma. It is staed upon the highest authority that the banks are fully secured.
 Friends of MT. Bunch stated that he closed his business in order to pro- tect his creditors, as the hardships he was enduring on account of de- cisions rendered by the Interstate Commerce Commission made it in- evitable.
 In suit instituted by local grain dealer the Interstate Commerce Com mission recently held that the Bunch elevator, located on the opposite side of the Arkansas river, was the prop erty of the Iron Mountain Railroad Company and that MT. Bunch had no more right to it's use than any other citizen.
 This decision, it is said, caused MT. Bunch considerable loss. He also sus- tained losses in the Iron Mountain rebate cases, which were decided against him by the department of justice at Washington. MT. Bunch is one of Little Rocks most progress sive citizens and his business misfor- tune is universally regretted.
 TO TURN OUT DRESSMAKERS.
 Fort Smith, Sept. 18.-A decided innovation will be introduced at the high school, which opens Monday, as a course in dressmaking has been added to the regular schedule. Of course, this particular department will be reserved for young ladies only, although it may be possible for the boys to patronize the sewing school in case of sudden accident to their wearing apparel. A competent teacher has been employed and in the future credits in the art of operat- ing a needle will be necessary before diplomas will be granted to the flu ture housekeepers.
 The object of the school board in providing this course is to qualify any young lady graduate to earn from $S to $15 week or more if it should

SCHOOL MAY
 BE POSTPONED

At meeting of the directors of the
 Conway public school tonight the question of a postponement of the opening of school for one week will be decided The board has received many requests to take this action, as the date for opening of the school is the same as for the first day of the county fair, October 4. It is urged that little could be done in school work while the fair is in progress and a postponement of the opening until October II is regarded as probable.

WORKING ON THE RICH.

Marked Tree, Sept. 18.-The Poin- sett county board of equalization has been in session all of this week at Harrisburg, and it is said that they have found some great flaws in the way our wealthy men have been giv- ing in their tax lists in the past. In Marked Tree, Harrisburg and the other large towns of the county, sev- eral thousands of dollars worth of property have never seen the tax books, according to information re- ceived. Heretofore it has been the poor mans burden to pay the taxes, but it seems this tax commission is about to reverse things and make all pay alike.
