When Poet Met Poet.

A North Missouri farmer, whose
hog was killed by train, wrote
to the company's claim agent for
a settlement, says writer in the
Columbia Statesman. He penned
his communication thus:
Dear Sir-My razorback strolled
down your track a week ago to-
day. Your twenty-nine ca m e
down the line and snuffed his life
away. You can't blame me, the
hog, you see, slipped thru a cat
tie gate; so kindly pen a check
for ten, the debt to Iiquidate.
He received the following re-
ply:
"Old twenty-nine came down
the line and killed your hog, we
know, but razorbacks on railroad
tracks quite often meet with woe.
Therefore, my friend, we cannot
send the check for which you
pine. Just plant the dead, place
DER his head, Here lies a fool
ish swine.

A High Estimate.

Not long ago a Virginia patri-
arch died and the newspapers
printed a long catalogue of his
services to the Old Dominion.
He had labored to advance the
state morally, Intellectually, 90
litically and materially. He had
battled for good schools, church
es, home missions and honest
politics. But before he passed
away, in review of his life, he
said that if he had his threescore
years and ten to live again he
would give all his energies to
road improvements, for he was
convinced that good roads helped
all other causes more than they
could be helped through indie
pendent action in their behalf.
Virginia seems TO DE actlng on
the counsel implied in those
words. 1t is not neglected schools
and other agencies of civ,e bet
terment, but it is concentrating
on roads in the belief that all
these things will be added.
1t is becoming evident to all
citizens that good roads and good
schools, go hand in hand, and in
learning this they have determ-
med to have roads over which
the boys and girls can travel to
the improved schools that are be-
ing established.

1t has been announced that
Mr.. Roosevelt is likely to take
the stump during the pending

his ambition to become president

ANOTHER ARREST
 FOLLOWS KILLING
ARTHUR GOODWIN ALLEGED. AC. CESSORY IN CONNECTION WITH
 KILLING OF CLEM WACkERLY.
Grover Garrett and Goodwin Will Have Preliminary Hearing
 Thursday.

Batesvlle, Sept 1.-Two brothers of Glenn Wackerly, who was shot and killed by Grover Garrett at his home, near here, Friday night, arrived in Batesville Monday from Logan, and late this afternoon a warrant was sworn out by them for Arthur Good win, as an accessory to the murder.
 Goodwin was the only eyewitness to the killing, and he swore before the coroner's jury that Garrett acted in self defense when he killed Wack- erly. Goodwin is a young man, liv- ing in the same neighborhood where Wackerly was killed, and it is alleged that he and Wackerly were engaged in playing game of cards, when the trouble between the two men started.
 The preliminary trial of the two men will be before Judge Holmes in Batosvillc Thursday.
 Both men are in jail here.
