Beazley and McCutchen Laid in the
 Shade.

This Is certainly Triumph Irish Potato year in St. Francis county Yesterday morning our good friend, F. De Witt Hamilton, of Johnson town ship, brought in number of speci mems. dug from his second crop, grown on the old Fitzpatrick home place. that are as fine as any we have seen this season. These potatoes are all large, but the largest tips the scales at one pound and four ounces.
 Hamilton says his patch measured a fourth of an acre, from which he gath cred fifty bushels. At the prevailing price of sl per bushel, this means s20O per acre as the yield on average hin land. What better evidence do you want, MT, Farmer, of the profit on Irish potatoes? You could not plant anything that will come in better for little ready money in the fall and spring, and, besides, there is no bet ter food tbat grows out of the ground for the children than the second crop of Triumph potatoes. Suppose in cultivating the policy Of living at home you try patch Of Irish pota- toes along with the other truck that grows so luxuriantly from the soil of St. Francis county
 The Times desires to thank Mir. Dewitt Hamilton for his contribu- tion of ''spuds, and we hope Gthers of our friends will endeayor to emu late his good example, because there is little doubt but that lie has both Beazley and McCutchen laid in the shade. Who's next?

How About Cider!

The quiet of our city was some. what disturbed Saturday by a fight which occurred in restaurant and grocery conducted on Front Street by Mike and Sam Malouf. The trouble arose over discussion between the proprietors of the place and man by the name of L. II. Barbrou, and be- sides resulting in fine of SIG 95 each for the two Malouf boys and Barbrou, the constable making the arrest, con tiseated two kegs of cider, which af- ter being analized by local chemist. was declared to contain about three per cent alcohol, and on Monday follow ing the fight the Maloufs were ar ralgned on charge of selling intoxi- eating liquors, and fined in the sum of s50 and costs. The proceedings were had in the courts of F.. Hurley and T. D. Carr, local justices of the peace.
 The cider case, however, which was heard in Carr's court. was ap- pealed by the people who make the cider, to the circuit court, while the lines for fighting were all paid.
 This agitation has sprung new proposition, and there is strong likelihood that number of cider stands who have been running in this city undisturbed for years, and which have often been referred to by the temperance people as iniquitoas, will come under the condemnation of the law.
 There has been strenuous crusade here against the bootlegger and the blind tiger. and the effort to put the lid upon these two evils has been at- tended by more or less success from time to time, but now the officials are facing a new proposition in the cider stands. It is said that in ad- dition to the alcohol it contains, some Of this cider also contains "dope," and is really more injurious and dan gerous than bootleg liqAor
 At any rate, now since the officers have unearthed new phase of the prohibition proposition to be fought, and, while their eyes, for the moment, are removed from his lair, the old he 'bind tiger, is likely to get busy again.
 The court will probably hold that 3 per cent alcohol is not sufficient to come under the head of intoxicating liquors, but whether it has alcohol or not, the fact remains that it makes the drunk come, and if we are to have prohibition, it should also be prohibited.

and SO concentrating it's forces that the
greatest possible amount of benefit to the
community may be secured from the ex-
penditure of money and time on the part
OF the attendants. There must be a
change in church management. The
church which served the pioneer farmer
will not satisfy the scientific farmer of
the present. The development of the
rural church into an institution which
will acceptably serve the needs of the
modern farmer and his family is a
matter Of sufficient educational Importance
to be worthy of the consideration Of all
who are interested in the intellectual de-
velopment OF the nation.
In Tennessee. for instance, there are
four churches of different denominations
In one small town. They were erected
on a straight line at an even distance
apart, on the roadside. Little by little,
the people of the community have become
sufficiently united so that they now all
worship In the same church, though the
preachers still belong to the four de-
nominations. For a whole year they use

solved by buying one set Of stoves, which

year the same stoves are set up in the
next church, so that in four years each
of the buildings is used equally. The last
act Of unity was the erection of one
