BOYS CORN CLUB

H. 5. Mobley delivered an ad- dress at the court house at Bates vile last Friday. touching at length upon the failure of the modern education in fitting boys and girls for success, especially along agricultural lines. He also spoke of the organization and work of the boys corn club and appointed committee of J. c. Fitzhugh, Congressman Oldfield and w. P. Jones to arrange plans for the work next year.
 This is one of the best move- ments ever inaugurated in the county aud The Journal hopes these gentlemen will put some in- terest and enthuiasm into the work. They have the opportun- ity and ability to do great work in the development of the agri- cultural interests of our county, and their friends are going to ex- pect much of them.

4 FATAL SETTLEMENT
James Parsons Killed by D. Brock
 Near Bradford.

Bradford, Nov. 21.-D. Brock was carried from here yesterday to Newport where he was placed in jail on a charge of the murder of James Parsons. The killing occurred Saturday night about 10 o'clock, and 1t was feared that brothers of Parsons would make an attempt to lynch Brock if he should be kept in jail here. It is said that brothers of the deceased were much wrought up over the killing and have made threats against Brock.
 Parsons was killed about four miles from here. It was the re- suit, it is claimed, of settlement for some timber. Brock, 1t is charged, called on Parsons and paid him for some timber and made a demand for q receipt. It is claimed that after Parsons had written the receipt and was read ing it, Brock shot and killed him.
 After the arrest Brock is said to have made several different statements of the reasons for shooting Parsons. Feeling ran high for while, and public senti- ment seems to be with Parsons, who had always been considered inoffensive.

ARKANSAS CORN CROP
Some interesting Comparisons Of
 the Crop With Other States.

The Agricultural Department has issued a tabulated statement showing the average production of corn in nine southern states for the past ten years. Ten years ago the average yield per acre in Ar kansas was less than Is bushels, while this year the average yield per acre is 24 bushels. Only one southern state, Virginia, surpass- ed Arkansas in the per acre yield of corn this year. that state's aver- age yield being 254 bushels. How ever the total production of corn in Arkansas exceeds that of Vir- ginia, and only one Southern state has this year produced more corn than Arkansas, that state being Texas. But while Texas has pro- duced a greater number of bush- els of corn than Arkansas, the average yield per acre in Texas is nearly four bushels less than in Arkansas.
 The average yield per acre in bushels and the total crop produc- ed is shown in the following table.
