GOT BUT ONE DEER
Party of Five Found Weather Too Dry 10 Hunt Good One" on
 l. Nj. Davis.

w. A. J. Smith and w. L. Prickett, the last named from Sulphur Springs, returned last week from a hunting trip into the mountains southeast, be- ing the last to come home of the party of five that went out last Friday week.
 The only game secured by the en- tire party was fine young buck deer killed last Saturday by Dr. E. II. Black, much to the modification, it might be added. of I. M. Davis, who had two clean standing shots at the animal before it ran and was caught by a shot from Dr. Blacks gun. It will be long time before l. Nj. hears the last of this, but his excuse is that the rear sight on his rife had gotten moved during the summer-and as he has pretty clear record. his friends will probably forget especially if he proves up" later. Incidentally Mir. Davis made the trip into the hills with his auto, climbing bad mountain roads and making much better time than was possible with horses.
 Game is reported quite plentiful but the dry weather made successful hunting out of the question.
 Besides those named, Bud Randolph and B. A. Duncan were in the party

 MENA PROPERTY
General Agent Wood Is Working Day and Night in Closing Up Con- tracts for Property of Its
 Employees.

As rapidly as it is possible to per form the detail work, G. B. Wood, general agent for the Kansas City Southern Railway, is closing up deals with the employees of the road for their Mena homes. It is probable that as many as fifty deeds was made by the close of Friday of last week, The former owners receive receipts for these and vouchers are to be is sued to them from Kansas City.
 The prices paid are. generally speak ing. satisfactory, the road paying as near as can be proven by the owner the actual cost of the property, which is in conformance to the agreement made months ago.
 In many instances the former own CTS will continue to occupy their old homes for some time on a rental bas- is, none leaving Mena until necessity demands the change.

MAY ROLL IN WEALTH.
Brother of l. Nj. Davis of Mena iu a
 Promising Enterprise.

The Decatur CID Herald, under a big heading. publishes the following story of a venture being entered into by Byrd Davis, a brother of I. M. Davis of this city. The article follows: Byrd Davis has made a start in his newest business venture. The first consignment of polecat kittens has been received. As fancier of keen appreciation he says they are the fin- est he ever saw. The kittens are de- voted . nilk, bits of meat and their owner
 "Visi IS who inspect the kits at long raa9a evidence little inclination for MT. DAyis' job as nurse for the litter. There are seven of them. That is said to be an average litter Here is a problem: At twelve months the polecst has come to the time when he is the head of the third generation and he sits about and talks of the good old days when he was kid. At that rate of increase how many kittens will there be in the Davis park at the end of twelve months, if the filters are merely of the average number2 And at the end of two years. when the belts have been sold for $1 each, what on earth will Byrd Davis do with all of the moneyY"
 I. M. Davis says that this enterprise is a result of a joking remark he made
  some time ago to his brother, who had askei him what to raise on his place. Mir. Davis says that as the pelt from these animals sell at from 75c to $1 % each right here in Polk county he don't see why some one does not make similar undertaking here.
 Why not?

Young Men Bicycled Through Mena,
 Claiming to Come From Georgia.

Two young men, astride of Yale bicycles. passed through Mena on last Thursday at pm. claiming they were headed for San Francisco via Oklaho- ma City, Yellowstone park and inter venine points. They give the names of c. w. King and E. A. Duncan and said they had been a month on the road from Columbus. Ga, and planned to make about 50 miles day.
 The only thing that spoiled the story was that neither the clothing wheels nor the color of the skin ot the riders indicated more than two or three days in the weather at most. but they will get all of these if they go faI enough.

HAVING WAS OF
 THE MILDEST TYPE
Freshmen at the State University Had to Make Speeches No One Hurt and Treat
 Followed.

Fayetteville, Sept. 21.-Students at the university today expressed much regret that some papers over the state had chosen to make such an uncalled for row over the hazing that was con ducted last week. So far as construing the article that was sent out to mean that brutal punishment was inflicted, it is considered an injustice to the uni versity. As matter of fact there was not an indecent or a brutal act committed. The hazing has left not the least hard feeling on the part of the freshmen, everyone of whom is in- dignant at the boogabee" made out of the matter.
 As to the exception taken to the humiliations administered, it may be said in full explanation that the 'hu- miliations" consisted in having the freshmen make speeches on such top ics as Why am Here Tonight, " and the Beauty of Being a Freshman, v all made for the benefit of the girls, who thoroughly enjoyed the brave at tempts of the freshmen at oratory.
 No One Roughly Handled.
 As to the brutal punishment, not a freshman in the college today bears the slightest mark brought on by an act of the upper classmen.
