IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS t?)

M. B. Russell is in complete editorial charge of The Tribune during the editors absence at Little Rock. This is the first time that M. B. has been in full swing in the Tribune office for ninenteen years. He was editor of The Tribune when he was but pup and in recalling those old days he is remind ed of many instances connected with the town and newspaper business dur ing the period he was connected with the paper. The Tribune office was To- cated in shack on the northeast cor ner of the square as illustrated here with.

AGARD FAMILY DEAD
Chas. Agard Dies Of Pneumonia Mrs.
 Agard Commits Suicide.

Chas. Agard of Coin died Thursday at 2 D. m. after d short siege of pneu- monia fever. Mrs. Agard, his wife, died at Il a. m. Saturday, twenty-four hours after taking two capsules filled with Rough on Rats, thus within the short space of less than three days the Agard family passed out of exis- tence. The only child of the Agard family, boy in the teens, accidently killed himself with gun while the family was sojourning in the state of Colorado some three years age. The tragic ending of the boy had had tell ing effect on the mind of Mrs. Agard and she often expressed herself that she did not care to live any longer, and the sudden death of her husband, coup led with her former trouble was more than she was willing to bear. Not one of the neighbors who were present, as sisting in the preparation of MT. Agard's body for burial, suspicioned that Mrs. Agard was in such desper- ate frame of mind, and not until several minutes after she had taken the deadly poison did anyone realize that she was soon to be corpse by a premeditated act on her own part. After taking the poison the troubled woman asked to be allowed to view the face of her dead husband. The request was granted and it was while she was standing over the lifeless form of her beloved one that she began to show symptoms of what she had done. Within a few minutes she was violently i'll and dis patch was sent to Dr. McCurry at AL pena who came post haste, but he could only administer local relief and the victim died at Il a. m. Saturday and was buried beside her husband in the Long Creek cemetery near Denver The body of MT. Agard had been buried on Friday evening.
 Chas. Agard was one of Carroll county's most substantial farmers and his sudden demise comes as a shock to all his friends. He was an honest man and good citizen and it gives us much pain to chronicle the sad ending of his family in these columns.
 MT, Agard has no other relatives in this partof the country and prior to his several years residence in this county but little of him and his people is known.
 Mrs, Agard came from the Coleman family and has brother Bill Coleman, who lives in the vicinity of Coin. She was a good woman of lkeable char acter and had many friends among her neighbors.

19 YEARS AGO

many the times can the then beardiess editor recall that Yankee -Doodle-Dix- ie' was played on the seat of his pants for Irregularities occurring in the man. agement of the affairs of the office. The sale of old papers constituted the main source of revenue. A little legal advertising and an occasional dollar contributed on subscription composed the rest.
 We had plenty Of news then-mur- ders, stage ro6beries. shooting scrapes, fist fights, islander cases and drunks of all kinds, in fact, Police Gazette story could be had any old time. Once q month, with the regularity of the calendar, . moonshiaer would arrive from Newton county with barrel of shine and all the empty jugs in the town and country were filled and the world looked beautiful to many for several days to follow. Saturday never failed to bring at least half dozen fights, reai fights with broken heads, and the J. P court did a thriving bus- ness the year round Electric lights were not needed. Soon after public gathering was dismissed at night every public tloroughfare leading through and out of the town would be lit up by the flashes Of British bull dog pistols It was really dangerous to be safe in those good old days.
 The overland mail stage coach from Eureka Springs arrived daily st nocn, drawn by four prancing steeds with Jeff Har1ert on deck. Great wag- on trains loaded with merchandise going east, and cotton and other pro- duets going west, could be seen almost hourly passing through the heart of the town leaving in their wake great ditch es- sufficient for Yocum creek to run Tn. Those were good old days. @ Many of the inhabitants of the town during that period have passed to the great beyond, others have migrated elsewhere, but there are few of the old timers left. There's John Buell., then lets see who else, Blunt Grim, Ed Harbert, J ohn Ramsey, Jim Walker, Elijah Wise, Dick Galloway, Corneal Skinkle and may be a few others, and when the writer looks around he sees many strange faces There are but few of the 44old timers" left-just few of the best of us.
