FREEZE INJURED
 FRUIT PROSPE( IS
Peach Buds Look Like Total Failure Since Freeze Of
 Present Week.


 That the fruit crop of this sec ton has been seriously injured by the, freeze of Wednesday night when the temperature dropped to 26 degrees above zero is generally admitted by all who have examined the buds since that date.
 Mir. c. B. Best reports that a careful examination of all his peach, trees failed to disclose a bud, the interior of which was not blighted and dark in color, While apples and the hardier fruits have not been injured to such an extent, the crop has un- doubtedly been seriously curtail- ed.
 While fruit culture isnot much of an industry in the lowlands, it is aIsbigl source of income to the residents of North Arkansas and even in Jackson, the loss of the home crop iss greatly to be regretted and missed.
 The early gardens suffered no considerable loss; doubtless due to the drouth and lack of mois- ture, for little wasrdamaged ex- cept the very tender vegetable plants that can stand no frost at |all.

Little Rock. March IT. Will Green, the negro who shot and killed John Hamilton, city mar shall of Hope about three years ago, and who was recently cap tured at Raymond, Miss, has been placed in the Arkansas pen itentiary for safe keeping.
 The killing of Hamilton was so apparently without provocation that the people ingthe vicinity of Hope were greatly incensed over the crime, and to prevent there being a demonstration against Hhim, Green was brought back to Little Rock and placed in prison. Sheriff Yelvin desires the hang ing of the negro to be legal, if such is to be his punishment.

 the Dixie moving picture show
 and laid down the price of admis+
 sion. The officer did not get in
 however until he had passed be- fore Buck 7 Massie, ex-race- tract tout who has charge of the
 fight pictures which have been
 hitting the high spots in Ark,an-
 sas wherever the officers would f5f permit them to be shown.
 Massie had reached Little Rock
 when the race game was in it's hey day here. He knew the of
 ficer and immediately rang down
 the curtain. When the officer
 went inside pictures of a wrest-
 ling match were being shown and
 Massie was berating Arkansass from Governor to messenger boy.
 He had advertised the flight pic
 lures and the afternoon s busi-
 ness looked to be prosperous, but
 Gov. Donaghey was on the job. \
 Adjutant General Green, of the Arkansas National Guard first |visited the show and ordered the fight pictures taken off, but Mas ae defied him to do his durnd- lest. Gov. ponaghey then acted,
 and Deputy Sheriff Hawkins re manned on the job to see no fur ther effort was made to put on |the pictures.
 While Gov. Donaghey was get 1 ting in his work the city admins [tration was also very busy. AL derman Volmer called son Massie 1 land informed him the city would not permit the exhibitions. City Idetectiyes and policemen were also sent to the moving picture show to see that nothing was do- ing. Massie says he will stay the week out with his wrestling pic
 tures as it is not against the law 1 to- breathe in Arkansas.
 Later in the afternoon Govern ! or Donaghey appeared at the the ater in person, and advised the manag gement that the prdze-f fight ! pictures must not be shown, and | the manager agreed not to do 1so,
 but gave notice that he would
 bring action against the governor for damages for stopping the per; formance.

eLAseoW's POPULATION
SHRINKING,

Glasgow is the largest city in Scot
land and the second largest city in
Great Britain. It's activities in mu-
nicipal owenrship exceed those of
even the cities of Australia and New
Zealand. It owns and operates the
street car systems. It owns and op-
crates the water system. It has more
than six thousand acres of public
parks; a proportion three times
greater than that of New York. It
has free hospitals; free university;
free ptblic lighthouses; free laun-
dries municipal lodging-houses and
municipal gas supply. For a time
the city attempted to own and oper-
ate its telephone system, but the loss
on that experiment was so great that
it had to be abandoned. The city also
undertakes to raze unfit tenement
houses and build in their place new
ones, which it rents direct. And,
having INDUCED itself in all these
collective enterprises, Glasgow is now
confronted by the fact that, alone OF
all the cities of Great Britain,
its population is declining and de.
Ginning at momentously rapid
rate. In the last decade the shrink
age has been considerable; there
seems to be evidence that the loss
is continuing; and the conclusion is
being reached that the specialization
of public utilities and the interven-
ton of the municipality in fields of
work that belong properly to private
enterprises are responsible for the
condition.-Denver Times.

without respite, she faced death to OBJ

far higher than the excitement-mad
valor of battle-felds
The greater part of the military in
formation received from Richmond by
the Army of the Potomac was collect

She established five secret stations

example this evolution has developed
a traction machine of large capacity
which will furnish liquids at high
pressure to do grape, field and potato
spraying thoroughly with a minimum
of expense for labor and material.
This is usually two-wheeled, trac-
