Father Killed by His Son.

On April End inst, A. W. Blackwell
(known as Bob), Of Atlanta, Ark,
was accidentally shot and killed by
his 7vyear old son, Paul, with a 80
calibre Winchester.
MIR. Blackwell was preparing to
clean the gun and thought he had re-
moved all the cartridges from the
magazine, but had failed. His little
boy was at his feet while he was ar
ranging for cleaning the gun. The
boy was working with the magazine
and got the cartridge in the gun when
his father discovered him fooling with
it and told him to let it alone. But
he pulled the trigger before leaving
it, firing the gun which was standing
with breech on floor resting on his
hip. The ball took effect near the
left hip ranging upward causing death
in 80 minutes.

! Musical Treat by Prof. Gilbert.

It was our privilege a few nights
mast to have with us the Central Male
Ouartette of WINFIELD. They gave
us an entertainment which was in
every sense of the word a delight and
ins3iration, Both in substance and
manner it was first class, OF the nigh
est order and up-to-date. 1t was
rarity. It stirred and cheered with
its humor, it soothed and entranced
with its melody and with that
and magical power, found alone IN
its purest and highest degree IN
the human voice, it touched to the
depth that tender and rich delight
which cannot be expressed in words.
In short, it was program enjoyedby
all and was worth more than three
times.its cost One of the charming
features Of this quartette was in their
manner on the stage. They had Q
"graceless gracefulness'' that added
to the ease of the audience. They
were lost to themselves and soulfutly
engaged in their art. They were at
home, and they sang. In their gayer
pieces such as ''The dish ran away
With the spoon,'' the melody would
lean with lit from lip to lip in a
charming way, in way that would
strike wonder with it's skill while i
amused with it's humor and the fur
they produced was refined and truly
refreshing. Their songs Of patriotism
and Of sentiment had q depth Of sweet
ness that held the audience in listen
ing stiffness beneath their enraptur
ing spell. Such pieces as .filf
Bridge'' and Beneath the Southern
4 Pines,'' dubbed with a limpid spon
4 taneity and was rendered with touc'
I and tone-color that favored them wit
! 4 life Of the sweetest tenderness
4 Their tones were 80 focused and pure
and their pronunciation was so clear
4 that they set feelings throbbing in tn
4 bosom inexpressible.

A "Messian, rendered by Prof. Q.
