HILL GROWN ALFALFA

j. E. Taylor of Hutson left at
The journal office a few days ago
a bunch of alfalfa measuring for
ty inches in height that was grown
on ordinary hill land. The alfalfa
was grown by w. j. Updyke of
Hutson under government instruc-
tions. 1t has heretofore been con-
sidered impossible to grow alfalfa
on any but bottom land, but Mr..
Updyke has thoroughly demon
strated the fact that it can be sue
cessfully grown on ordinary hill
land.
Following are the methods used
by MIR Updyke. Land planted to
winter oats; oats cut and used.
Oats followed by cowpeas; land
plowed deep. Another crop of win
ter oats, followed by deep breaking
about ten inches)and again sowed
in cowpeas. Land given good
dressing of barnyard manu- re, and
in fall sowed in alfalfa. The land
nor the seed were inocculated In
no way except with the cowpea.

the Atlanta Conservatory of Mus
lc of Atlanta, Ga. She is now in
New York taking a postgraduate

The board, some two weeks ago,

cipal Of the school. He has the
reputation of being an excellent
school man, and with the excellent
corps of teachers chosen, The

the most successful Ia the history
of the school.
The board has also decided to
build on annex of four rooms to
the present building, and work
will probably be commenced in
short time, as the board desires to
have the additional rooms finished
and ready for occupancy at the
opening of school in October.
The school has been handicap
ped for some time for the want Of
more room, and the board has act
ed wisely in providing for relief
along the line. Taken altogether
the the prospects for the school
were never brighter and it should
be a matter for felicitation upon
the part of the patrons that the
outlook is so favorable.

ALLEGED MURDERER CAUGHT
f1an Captured in South Dakota
Charged With Shirley Murder

Newport, June ID. J. G. Lang
ston, the alleged murder of A. w.
Shirley, now occupies cell in the
jackson county jul, where he will
be held for safekeeking pending
preliminary hearing. He was
brought here Sunday night from
Little Rock, where he had been
left by Sheriff w. X. Surridge
and Jno. Z. Paul, after his arrest
on his homestead in Trip county
South Dakota. That he is to have
to support of able counsel now
seems assured, aud it is declared
by parties in position to know
considerable about the case that
the former widow of the murdered
merchant, will see that Langston
is supplied with lawyers and
means to fight his case.
Langston is said to have receiY-
ed long telegram just before
leaving Little Rock from promin-
ent men of South Dakota, inform
Jag him that they would be on
hand at his preliminary trial, and
would be prepared to furnish bond
in any amount prescribed by the
court.
Langston is extremely retieent
about his past life and future
plans. He is rather genteel look
ing young fellow. He said that he
was depot manager at Minturn sew
eral years ago, and as Mrs. Shirley
who had separated from her hus-
band was at that time with her
mother conducting the only hotel
in the town, he was very natural
ly a regular boaraer. Langston
stated that his defense will be an
abb, and that he was registered
at a hotel in Gregory, S. D., at
the time of the murder of Shirley.
Whether the reported livery
stable man at Hoxie, from whom
an unknown man rented horse
the night of the Shirley murder,
will identify the man to whom the
horse was rented, becomes a strong
point in the circustantial evidence
upon which the state will seek to
hold him for the trial on the
charge of the aged merchants
murder. The prosecution has stat
ed that it expects to show that the
signature of j. G. Leroy appear
ing on the register of Hoxie ho-
tel the night of the murder bears
strong similarity to the j. c. l..
as used by Langston in signing
his own name.
The prosecution has employed
Davis and Pace of Little Rock to
assist Prosecuting Attorney Grant.

young man who let him have a
horse at the Hoxie livery stable
on the day of the murder. He was
also identified by woman living
on the road between Hoxie and
Minturn. Several parties were in
the Jail with Langston, merely as
blind, bnt the witnesses, who
were taken in separately, both
readily identified Langston.

From a small beginning the business.
grew until the Coads managed a freight
service that employed seven trains between

Often one train would contain as many as
