Among many other wise things Dr. Bar

In the fall Of the year scatter over the
stalls in use, ground phosphate rock
From time to time as manure accumu'

phate.
In this way the acids in the manure at
tact the insoluble phosphate rende'

!. The advantage lies in so cheaply renoer'
tno the phosphate soluble. 1t costs moth

while It costs five times the worth Of the
ground phosphate to accomplish this IT
sult with the aid Of sulphur1c acid.

A Letter to the Dear Women.
Not to be read by milliners)

In mcekness and humility we approach
you, with hats off and hands behind our
backs, with the corner of our mouths
drawn down to a proper angle, we draw
near to you for the time is here and the
subject is delicate.
Easter! 1t is not our duty to rehearse all
the beautiful stories that center around
the subject. 1t is not ours to recall fond
recollections Of bygone observances. 1t
is not ours to again pick up the threads OF
the SACRED narrative. We come humbly
before, you oh women, to talk for a mo-
ment about hats!
Not since .eve twined the grapevine
around her graceful brow, not since Cleopa-
ira charmed Egypt with her diademed
head Igear, not since Venus awakened
thrills with her laurel covered ambrosial
locks has man been so stirred up over this
momentous question Of hats.
We know you are going to have them,
beiowered peachbaskets, be-plumed bread
trays, cutoff ostrich tails, ect.,o OF course
you gre going to have them, who dares
say you aren't, let 50 bold a fool stand
forth No. Sparticus who met every form
Of nan and beast on the bloody arena that
the broad empire Of Rome could furnish,
we're he here today would not be bold
enough to say you nay.
But notice, dear women, our hats are in
our hands, the corners of our mouth are
drawn down to O becoming angle, see how
abiect we are. We come to ask mercy for
our slim pocket books, we come to plead
for compassion and clemency in the mat
'er of spring hats.

Negro Held For Forgery.

Upon charge of forgery, Wallace
Kimbrough, negro aged about %
years of Little Rock. this county. is
being held to anwser to the county
court for his examining trial in the
sum of $500 bond.
Kibmrough, it is alleged, forged the
name of Mr.. d. B. Robbins, to a check
for S25. cashed by Mr. H. M. Collins,
of the firm of H. NJ. Collins & Co.
The check, which was drawn on the
Citizens Bank of Little Rock, wasEpre-
sented by Kibmrough to Mr.. Collins
Wednesday evening. The. negro pur-
chased pair of shoes which amounted
to 81. SO and received in cash 500. so.
Thursday morning Mr.. Collins be-
came suspicious of the check and COM
municated with Mr.. Robbins, who in
formed him that the check was for
gerry. The negro was located near
Little Rock and was taken into custo-
dy by Marshall James Gibson of North
Middletown, who brought him to Paris
where he was arraigned in Judge Den
Dundon's court.
Mr.. Collins identified the negro as
the one who had been in his store anC
who presented the forged check. 1r
court the negro stoutly protested his
innocence, disclaiming all knowledge
of the offense. His examining tria
was set for Thursday, September 10
His bond which was fixed at $500 was
furnished by Mr.. Nelson Gillespie OF
near Little Rock. on whose farm hi
was emp lOyed.

Colts and Bourb0nites Meet To-
dav.

For the first Of the seven rema lining
games to be played between Paris and
Lexington, the Colts and Bourbonites
will meet at White Park this after
noon, and from the rivalry existing
between the two clubs fast and fur
ious contest is likely.
The Colts are coming to Paris with
a view of taking this game, and from
the classy ball the club from the Fay
cite capital has been putting up re-
Gently the league leaders will have
smething to do to keep the Colts
down.
Contrary to the reports that have
been given out that there are yet nine
games to be played between Paris and
Lexington, it has figured out that
there are but seven, three Of which
are to be played in Paris and four in
Lexington. On the seasons series so
far Paris is leading over the Colts by
| one game, having won ten and lost
nine.
Paris is now leading the league by a
margin of near hundred points over
Lexintgen, who is her closest rival,
but a turn in the form Of the Paris
players would be disastrous, even in
the face OF such strong lead. Civ
ing Lexington one the best in the
seven games remaining would make
but little change in the percentage,
provided, however, Paris could keep
plugging away st the other league
clubs at the furious rate she has dur
ing the season. In event Paris should
take slump there might be chacne
OF Lexington heading her off, but at
the same steaoy gait she has Travelled
all season will mean the pennant will
float over White Park.
At any rate Lexington has not given
up the hope of landing in the upper
berth and is working steadily with
this in view. If nothing more she
will try to strengthen her hold on
second position while Winchester,
Richmond and Frankfort are in a
pretty scrable over the show honors.
1t is not known who McKernan will
send in against the Colts this after
noon. but he will pick the man from
his pitching staff who he, thinks is the
most likely one to give the Colts a
drubbing.
Paris is the best on the seasons
series with every club in the league.
Following is the record:
Lelxugton-won1 10; lost 9.
Frankfort-wOn II lost 10.
Wlnchester-won ID lost 10.
Richmond won Is; lost z.
Maysville (Shelbyville)- IS;
lost 3.
At home Paris mas won 80 games
and lost 16; abroad she has won 20
games and lost %.
Monday being Labor Day, the Sena-
tors will come over for two games,
one in the morning at ten O'Clock and
the second in the afternoon at 3 80.
