KILLED BY A HUNTER
Prominent Jackson County Farm
err Loses Life While Hunting

Newport, Jan. Jim Mullins,
a prominent farmer and stock rails
er living four miles north west oil
Grubbs, was shot and killed about
3 p. m. yesterday by Robert Golf
man, while the two were out turk
ey hunting. Mullins died almost
instantly, being shot in the back
and about the shoulders with large
shot from the discharge of shot
gun at fairly close range.
Mullens and Coffman went turk
ey hunting about one and one half
miles northwest of the Mullins
home. Mullins had stopped in a
fallen tree top and was using a
wooden caller to attract the wiry
fowl when Coffman came up, and
seeing the brush move drew his
gun and fired. Mullins rose, took
four steps toward Coffman, called
him, fell forward, life being ex-
tinct when his companion reached
him.
The careless hunter then notified
the people in the neighborhood,
and the body of Mullins was car
ried to his home by Neil Mullins,
Tom Ford and Abe Guthey.
The deceased was highly re-
spected citizen, about IS years of
age, and leaves a wife and small
child.

HINKLE FOR SHERIFF

The announcement of Hon Jno.
A. Hinkle of Batesyille as a can
didate for sheriff appears in TO-
days paper.
Mr.. Hinkle is one of the best
know men in the county and needs
no introduction from us. He has
served the people in various Off
cial capacities, first as postmaster
at Batesville, then as county treas
urer, sheriff and state senator.
He is perhaps better known than
any man in the county. He made
the county good sheriff while
serving in that capacity several
years ago, and would doubtless do
so again should the people see Git
to elect him.

RUDDELL FOR SHERIFF

Lawrence RuddeIl announces in
today's paper as a candidate for
sheriff.
Mr.. RuddelI comes of one of the
best families in the county and has
many friends. He is big-hearted
generous and genial young man.
He was born and raised in the
county near Batesville, but for
the past few years has been a citi-
zen of Newark.
This is his first race for coun-
ty office, and he has many friends
here and throughout the county
who hope that he may be success
full.

PREACHER IN TROUBLE
Journal Causes a Row i'm Home of
Former Newark Pastor

Mr.. Editor: There's trouble in
the home of preacher in this
town, aud it is all brought about
by The Journal.
In fact, the trouble is right in
my own home, and its this way:
When The Journal comes, | want
it, wife wants it, Paul wants it
and Willeen wants it, and as there
Is but one copy, you see where
the trouble begins. 1t is no joke
that The journal is like the face of
a Newark friend, and we all enjoy
it.
This is big, rich country.
Nothing to surpass it in the state,
and few, if any, sections in the
state equal it. But there are
more poor people here now than
were here when | was here twenty
years ago. While some grow
rich, others grow poorer and poor
err. But this, no doubt, is true al
most everywhere.
The farmers here have the best
class of mules and horses | have
seen anywhere in the state. Good
saddlers are rated at $3.50 to $500,
and good mules at $400 to $3.50
span; but they are good.
The school interest here is not
what it should be. | find here, as
elsewhere, a disposition to econo-
mize on brains, which never pays
in the long run.
| think if some legislator would
take up the fight for and enact a
law providing for uniform series
of text books for the entire state,
he would write his name high as
benefactor to his race.
Our churches here are not as
live and wide-awake as they should
be. There is strong Baptist
church here without a pastor; the
Presbyterians are in the same con-
dition, and so are the Christians
and Episcopalians, so you see |
am sort of deputy pastor to the
whole town. There is Catholic
Father who comes once in awhile.
My congregations are good, and
growing every service. Have re-
ceived one into the church, with
others to follow.
Glad to see Bro. RusselPs report
in The journal. Let Greater
Newark do herself all over in spir-
itual glory this year, by holding
the fort with what has been gain
ed in the years gone by, and in
adding greater things to what has
already been accomplished in her
church life.
Wishing one and all happy
and prosperous year, | am, as
ever, Cordially your friend,
JAS. +. JERNIGAN.

the home of Sister Mollie Porter,
where we were privileged to stay
until Monday. Monday Bro. j.
+. Jernlgan, my worthy prede-
cessor, who has done SO great a
work in building up this church,
moved out, and we moved into the
parsonage.
On the following Thursday
night | met the largest crowd at
prayer meeting at the church that
have ever had the pleasure of
seeing at a prayer meeting. There
were SO. And just such prayer
meeting | have never been in be-
fore. | understand that three
years ago there were but few who
would pray in public, but we have
large number now who will lead
in prayer.
Friday night following, we had
the second largest pounding we
ever had. About 70 of the lead
ing citizens stormed us, bringing
with them all sorts of good things.
And maybe you think they were
not welcomed
Our first quarterly conference
was held last Sunday and Mon
day, the End and 3rd, Bro. Gallo
way presiding, and we we're able
to report the following: An Ep-
worth League, organized two
weeks ago, with a membership of
SO, and a Junior League with "a
members. We have Sunday
school with an enrolment of 100,
and have organized a good choir.
The Board of Stewards raised the
pastors salary 5000 over last
year, and of this, $1S3.25 has been
paid to date. We have well-or-
gained board of stewards and |
am quite sure they will bring
things to pass this year. We have
received into the church six men,
bers by certificate and one on pre-
fession of faith. Baptized one
adult. We have the names of sew
eral to be received later. We are
hoping and praying for 100 new
members for Newark station this
year. We have a Ladies Aid that
is doing great work, and we ex-
pect to have good Home Mission
Society in the near future. Our
church mem bership is about 275
and we have some as good work
ers in church as | have ever seen.
Newark is one of the most pleas
ant and desirable places | have
ever lived.
l hope all who read this will
join me in the prayer that this
may, indeed, be the best year of
my life.
Yours ready for sacrifice or SER
vice. IRA II. RUSSELL.

AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS
Through Practical Education and
Demonstration i'm Arkansas

The general acceptance in Ark
ansas of the value of practical ag-
ricultural education and demon
stration is being evidenced in many
ways.
The four thousand farms upon
which demonstration crops were
grown in 1909 under the direction
of State Agent j. A. Evans of the
u. 5. Department of Agriculture
and his twenty seven local agents
produced yield of from fifty per
cent to over two hundred per cent
above adjacent crops of the same
class. -
The contest affidavits of the Boys
Corn Clubs showed that yield as
high as one hundred and eight
bushels of corn to the acre had
been produced in 1909.
The Farmers Institute work by
the College of Agriculture, under
direction of Prof. Geo. A. Cole, is
doing much to popularize specific
agricultural training.
The annual Farmers Institute at
the University of Arkansas, jan
uary 4 to 10, 1910, is free to Ark
ansas farmers. A course of great
interest has been prepared and the
attendance promises to be much
larger than ever before.
The L. S. Department has en-
gagged FL. S. Mobley as organizer
of Boys Corn Clubs and School
Extension work, and county and
district Corn Club Organizations
are being rapidly effected. This
campaign contemplates the early
organization of every county and
the enrollement of 25, 900 boys in
the corn growing contests through
the active work of Mr.. Mobley
cooperating with the College of
Agriculture and the Farm Demon
stration Agents, and the State
Commistee of the Boys CornCIubs
composed of State Superintendent
Geo. B. Cook, Commissioner of
Agriculture Guy B. Tucker, Pro-
fessor of Agriculture Rufus j.
Nelson and j. A. Evans.
The Boys Corn Clubs are secur-
ing the hearty support of the Far
mers Union, the congressman and
county officials, the commercial
organizations, the school teachers,
merchants and citizens generally.
These are some of the tangible
facts indicating the widespread
awakening in this state along the
lines of most practical wealth and
comfort producing advancement
for the entire citizenship and es-
pecially for the farmer who con-
stitutes nearly ninety per cent of
our citizenship.
