Interesting Paper On Orchard
 Cultivation by Mir. Palmer.

There was good attendance at the horticultural meeting Sat urday. The subject for discus sion was orchard cultivation, led by a paper from Mir. Palmer and discussed by Mir. Bouton, MT. Littletield, Mir. Rader, Mir. Eyins and others. Mir. Evins told of the orchard methods at Hood River, Oregon, and stated his belief in the bright future of fruit growing in this locality when the growers adopted the same methods practiced in the west. The western grower has better soil to start with but we have better climate and better markets, and the quality of our fruit is better. What we want to do is to build up our soil, fight of the diseases and insects and build up reputation for better packing. When this is done the question of profits will be settled.

 lday Night.

A meeting of the Commercial Club was held Wednesday night, and 1t was decided to defer ac- tion on the adoption of the by laws until the next meeting, which will be held Wednesday night of this week.
 One of the most important matters discussed at the last meeting was that of bridge across White River. The senti- ment of all present was that such a bridge would be of immense benefit to Springdale, and that the money can be raised with which to build 1t. It IS thought bridge can be built for S4,500, and proba bly less, and it was the opinion of some that the county would assist in the work by fur nishiug portion of the funds. A committee was appointed to investigate the matter and re- port later, the committee consist ing of W. c. Ownbey, Willard Berry and l. T. Lane.
 The meeting of the club on Wednesday night promises to be of extreme importance. The promoters of the interurban rail- way telephoned from Bentonville Monday morning that they would be in Springdale Wednesday night to confer with the club. If Springdale and the interurbau promoters can get together on the proposition 1t is promised that the surveyors will be placed in the field at once.

CHAS. STINNETT PAYS

The Harrison Negro Was Hanged
 Wedne sday Afternoon.

Harrison, March 24.-Charlle Stinnett, the 19-year-old negro, who was convicted of assaultlng Miss Emma K. Lovitt, aged 61 years, last January, was hanged here at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
 Sheriff Keete had announced that the hanging would take place 1 o'clock, but somebody had given Stinnett whiskey and at 1 o'clock he was too drunk to stand. By 4 o'clock, however, he was more sober and said he was ready.
 He walked upon the scaffold without a tremor and after the rope had been placed around his neck he said, when given the op. portunity by the sheriff to make a statement, that he was guilty of an attempt at assault. Earlier in the day he signed statement in which lie said that lie had first tried to rob Miss Lovitt and had drawn the knife, which was ex' hibited at his trial when he de manded money of her. He said he had no intention of killing | her, but threatened her to steel

 The execution took place in the yard back of the jail, the scatfold having been covered with canvas so 1t could not be seen by the public. An inch seagrass rope was used and the negro was pronounced dead by Dr. Charles Routh just $ minutes after the trap was sprung. His neck was not broken and he died from strangulation, but without struggle.
 Funds were subscribed by the citizens to ship his body to his mother at Muskogee, Okla.
 Three or four hundred people were here to try to see the hang ing, but only 25 were permitted to remain inside the jail yard.
