The bone was Drotrudin2 from the h.de and the animal ula have been unfit for fusther service
 The automobile was driven bl Herschel Orton, who is employed as a chauffeur by the Pine Bluff Aut- Company. In the machine were sev- raj men, who were being driven South on Olive street. According to eye witnesses the boy roda around cor her in5o Olive street, and before he auto driver or the boy could turn aside the collision between the ma chine and the animal took place Another eye witness says that the boy was on the right side of the $ rest as was also the auto, but thah the machine seemed to swerve as 1t neared the animal and struck it.

taeN are capable of doing. These SCHOOLS have not been liberal main
 aimed. The deficit in the general revenue fund, which has been increas-- Ing during he last few years, prompt ed the present governor to veto many items in the bills providing for these institutions, consequently their use fuiaess has been temporarily impair ed. It Is probable that the incoming adminls ration will be unable to pre- V.de as literally for the agricul rral schools as their importance will mer- f. It may be necessary, in making appropriations, to deny the insiitu- tons of the state funds which gre really necessary fer their proper de- ve opment. Tie burden, however, should be apporSioned among the in stitutions, and should not fall on any enc class alone.
 It is difficult to overestimate the value of scientific learning to the farmer Through his own organi zation We have advanced a long ways, The next administration will try to find means to provide more liberal.y for the agricultural schools to the end that our fields may be broadened. our soils conserved and our products increased"
