DRY LAND HORTICULTURE

DRY LAND HORTICULTURE
Many failures ia tree planting are
attributable To the nurscryman, and
the farmer may not even suspect Il.
When the trees are carlcssly dug and
the roots allowed to become dry for
q very short period, they are liable to
die sooner or later. but the fact that
these trees may remain apparently green
and ssppy FOR a few weeks or longer,
gives an u%nprincipled nurseryman the
chance TO dispose Of them TO his con
ading customers. For this reag on and
Others the farmer should never buy
from irresponsible agents but only from
the oldest and largest nurseries with
established reputation.
Shipping trees in tho bundle with u
wisp Of straw tied about the roots
should be enough to condemn any nur
seryman. Responsible Arms ship only

As soon as the trees arrive they

 BACK IN PEN

Little Rock, May 18.-Reedy Vance, the murderer ordered back into the pcntentiary last Saturday by the pen itentialy board for the violation of his parole, was yesterday sent to a rail- road camp and put to work. Vance in 1902 killed a Chinaman here after a quarrel over a 5-cent bowl of soup, which Vance had eaten in the restau- rant of the Chinaman. He was con Victed and sentenced to serve 20 years
 n the penitentiary. In April, 1908, he was paroled and worked for a good portion of the time as a night Watchman at the pententiary. He began drinking recently and went on the warpath He was arrested one night in Argenta and the next night in Little Rock, after havina made 9 gun play. This was jtlorted to tls pententialy board and his parole was ordered revoked. Vance was armed at the time of his arrest He killed his stepfather in Mississippi, white man and a negro in Arkansas, before mdrdering the Chinaman, and the penitentiary board desired to take no further chances with him. especially when he had gone to drinking, after promising the board, when the parole was granted, he would be a total ab~ stainer,

COMETS TAIL ID

NOTHING OUT OF ORDINARY IS EXPECTED FROM THE
 PASSAGE.

Between the hours of 9 and l9 o'clock tonight the earth will pas through the tail of Halley's comet, though astronomers believe there Wli be nothing out of the ordinary Vlsii Ie on this side of the sphere, at lea t.. According to Prof. John T. Buchho'z. who will lecture OF the subject of comets at the Normal auditorium to- night, Halleys comet will cross the suns disk shortly after 9 o'clock to- night. Were the comet large enough or dense enough it would eclipse the sun, but the sun at that time will he visible only to the eastern hemisphere, as the transit occurs several hours after both the comet and the sun ha fe sunk below our horizon.
 At this time the comet will be h. 000,000 miles from the earth and di- rectly between the earth and sun, which is 92,000,00 miles distant. The tail of the comet is estimated to be from 20,000,00O to 24,000,0O0 miles long, so that it will extend several millions of miles beyond the earth. On account of this fact, it is possible that there may be meteoric displays or other phenoraena tonight, and 1t

THREE NAMES ON
 ON SCHOOL TICKET

Secretary s. E. Anderson of the Conway school board stated this af- ternoon that the ballots to be used in Saturdays election will bear the names of three candidates for school director, s. G. Smith, N C. Martin and J. W. James. Two of the three will be elected, to fill the vacancies caused by the expiration of the terms of Jo Frauenthal and S. c. Smith. Mr. Smith, who has served on the board only about one year, consent ed to be a candidate for that place again. Mr. Frauenthal, the present chairman of the board, has been strongly urged by many of the school patrons to serve again, but stated that his duties as a member of the waterworks improvement board and president of the Board of Trade occu- pied all the time he felt justified in taking away from his business and personal interests. It was largely by the financial genius of Mr Frauen- thai that the district has been able to erect the handsome $40,000 build ing, and much regret is being express ed over his retirement from the board

CITY MARSHAL
 KILLS NEGRO

Shortly before o'clock this after noon City Marshal w. E. Clibourne shot and killed Hewley Agnew, ne gro living on John Ingram's place, southwest of Conway, as the negro was attempting to escape after hay ing been placed under arrest by the officer.
 Agnew was suspected of having stolen a quantity of meat from W. R. Newborn last night, and Marshal Cli- bourne and Constable o. l.. Honea searched his house and found the stolen meat this afternoon. They went out in woods lot nearby, where Agnew was at work and placed the negro under arrest, bringing him back to his house.
 The negro was placed in buggy, and while the officers were loading up the stolen meat, he jumped out of the vehicle and ran away across field. The officers called at him several times to halt, but Agnew paid no at tention and continued to run, when Marshal Clibourne fired, bringing the fleeing negro to the ground
 The bullet entered at the back of the head. Agnew died about an hour after he was shot.

would not be surprising if the sun rises tomorrow in an unusually red glow. although no astronomer will predict these events as a certainty. At any rate all of them are sure that the passage will be attended by no evil effects upon the earth.
 The comet was not visible this morning, as it was too close to the sun to be seen. It's tail, however, eX- tending far above the horizon, was plainly visible after 3 o'clock this morning until dawn. The comet has been rising gradually later each morn ing for about two weeks, until today when it practically accompanies the sun in it's journey across the heavens, After crossing the sun tonight, 1t will begin setting slightly later each ev- ening. Tomorrow evening 1t will prob ably set too early after sunset to be seen, but it's tail projecting above the western horizon in a southwest efnly direction. may be easily seen. Friday night the comet will not set untl about 9 o'clock, and if the even ing sky is clear, it will doubtless pre- sent d grand spectacle. The tail will probably he 90 degrees in length, or extend half way across the heavens. The brilHancy will be lessened to some extent, however, by the moonlight.
 Receding very gradually, the comet will remain brilliant in the evening sky tal lughout this mouth, setting at the end of the month about 10 o'clock. After the foil moon On May p, when the comet may be seen after sunset and before moonrise, it will probably attain it's maximum apparent blil- lanae. It will conJinte visible pos sibly throughout the month Of June, becoming fainter with each appear ance, until it is finally lost to sight for another D or 76 years.

Russell Doyne, son of President J. J. Doyne, is the proud owner of an enterprising bullet worthy of mon- ument more enduring than cold-stor- age eggs. This young hen, evidently believing that even domestic fowls should keep in touch with the trend of public thought and, realizing that Halley's comet is the principal topic of discussion just now, has done her best to give an expression of her opin- ion on the subject, and yesterday af teinoon, comfortal ly seating herself on her nest, she laid an egg with an appendag, not unlike the tail of the comet The unusual freak was brought by Mr. Doyne to this office, where it is now on exhibition.
