Druce.Reynolds.

Mir. Richard Reynolds. of Mem- phis. and Miss Lela Bruce were united in the holy bonds of mat rimony last Saturday morning, at the Brinkley House, home of Mrs. Frazier. the brides mother. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dana Terry. after which the bride and groom left for the latter's home in Memphis.
 The bride will be remembered as one of Brinkley's popular young ladies, who, up until the past twelve months made her home here with her mother. For the past year, however. she has been in Indiana with relatives.
 The oroom is a hustling ex- press messenger on the Rock Island Ry.. running out of Mem- phis.
 The ARGUS wishes for them much happiness and prosperity during their welded life.

the past several weeks and when under the influence of whiskey was not the same peaceable citi- zen as when sober.
 The charge of hog stealing against him was brought by . man by the name of Johnson liv- ing 4 or 5 miles south of here. His hogs which had been out on the range. itappears, had been annoying Carr by breaking into his corn field. Carr had killed four of them and thrown them over his fence and had about fif- ten of them confined in q pen and demanded that the owner pay the cost of feeding them. This was the substance of Carr's statement just before his death.
 Thus 1t is that the same crime and misery producing whiskey, brings sorrow and shame to Carr's daughters, who are said to be ladies of high standing in Little Rock, and at the same time causes the loss of two lives in one family in less than as many months.

un. Carr, Manager Eden plantation, Fatally Shot hy Officers While Re-
 sisting Arrest.

Inst before noon on Monday, ntle E len Plantation house 5
 niles west of Brinkley. Wm. Alarr, Manager of that planta- ton, was shot and wounded three tines by the officers who had zone to arrest him, and from the efects of which he died Tuesday t l2.3O o'clock, at St. Vincent's lnfrmary in Little Rock. where he had been taken for treat mont.
 The trouble arose out of a war lant which had been sworn out for Carr, together with two other men, John Kennedy and Matt sCay, a negro, for alleged hc. j.
 stsalinc Deputy Sheriff A. N.
 Bohlinger, Chas. Myers and
 Constable T. W. Allen. were
 sent to arrest them and, it seems,
 lhey had succeeded in taking Car into custody twenty or
 thirty minutes before the shoot ing occurred. According to Con-
 stable Allen, the planter had al- .feady agreed to go with them.
 md Officer Bohlinger, who was h charge, ordered Allen to re- main with Carr while they en- deavored to find a man named Register for whom they also had IaRarrant. The other two off, cefs were busy searching around lne outside of the house when Allen stepped around the corner 70 meet them, leaving Carr alone. Not expecting any trouble from ne planter he did not keep an eye on him, and as he came back n front of the store a little in .dvance of the others, he found
 vafr standing in the door with 2 Winchester rife leveled oh him.

Interesting Letter From [ Brinkley Lady Now in
 New Mexico.

Roswell, N. Mex, Sept. 2, 1912. Dear Mir. Folsom:
 have wondered many times since comingSte this country two monthsago if a few lines would be of any interest to the many ARGUS readers concerning this the great Sunshine State. ]"
 Mir. Ray in his recent letter has treated the subject with so much justice that there is really not much left for me to say.
 Roswell is a beautiful place. delightful climate, but Is no place for a poor man. The prices are outrageous and to give you an idea will tell you that it costs a small family from $2.50 to $3.00 per week to get their wash- ing and ironing done in other words they charge 75 cents per dozen to wash and iron starch pieces and 5) cents per dozen for unstarched pieces. l had never done my washing before (not that l was too goo1 to do it, but now I am very much skilled in the art and l have discovered a great many others are also.
 The church buildings are all very pretty indesd-th Baptist being the finest. the Methodist next, and the Christian third. l attended the First Presbyterian church yesterday morning and heard the Rev. Dr. Mckay, whose text was 'Son Go Work in My Vineyard Today. 7 It was a most enjoyable service and a special feature of all the church worship here is the splendid music they have. On the other hand they have entertainments in the churches and charge ad- mission at the door. ] corlas @. not, ~s-~r-r-es~sf
 help saying the other day that they needed Bro. Temple out here to preach to them awhile.
 Several Brinklayites are hera.s Among them our old fellow citi- zen, o. M. Norman. who has had a very critical operation per- formed, but is doing nicely, and l think will soon be able to come home, but am very sorry to say that the climate has done Wheet- ley no good whatever. It has rained almost every day since we have been here and believe he would have been as we'll or better off (I'm quite sure finan- ciaIly) had we remained in dear old Brinkley. Mir. Norman's daughter. Mrs. Aydelott and her are also here. He Is also a firm believer in Arkansas.
 Last, but not least, must tell you of a dear, sweet friend we have in the person of'Mrs. Frank Divers. who is a sister of Hon. c. F. Greenlee. She is a very lovely lady to whom we owe many delightful drives as well q the Inequalities of her beautiful home.
 With best wishes for all l am

The officers left here Satu]

U. The OMcerS leIC nefe S4tur- day morning on a railroad speeder and arrived at Eden to find four men sitting in front of the store, one of them a negro. Officer Allen says that they did not know either of the men for whom the warrants called, and upon being asked what their business was, told the men who they were after, mentioning the names. He says that one of the men got up and gave his name as Kennedy, saying, T am ready to go with you. ]" At this junc- ture. it is alleged, Register asked in a loud voice who had sworn out the warrants and pointing to Will Johnson, who was with the officers, said: ''I'll bet that dd little scamp did it. ' Carr got his gun, leveled it at Allen, faying further that mot add man would leave there. ]" The officers found 2 graceful re- treat better than a battle with odds 'aeln 'em'' and they went back to the speeder which was still on the track. Kennedy however, went with them to Dagmar. where he settled the trouble between himself and the owner of the hogs. The officers returned to the city and did not make any further attempt to- ward arresting the other two until Monday.
 Register, who had a warrant sworn out against him for dis turbing the peace, was arrested Monday evening by Marshal Owens without any trouble.
 Carr was brought to Brinkley and his wounds dressed by Dr. Mcknight and he was carried to Little Rock accompanied by Jas. B. Lassiter and j.. P. Riner. where he was given surgical at tention that night. The surgeons found that the abdominal wound was necessarily fatal, the shot having severed the bowels in seven different places besides passing through the bladder. He lived until noon the next day and the body was carried to his old home at Lonoke for inter- ment.
 Carr came to this section about two years ago to manage the Wm. Tait Eden plantation and is said to have been a good farmer. A few months ago his son was killed by a Rock Island train and this death was said to have been caused by drinking. The fath- er's death was directly the re- suit of whiskey as Carr is said to have been drinking heavily for

DESTRUCTION OF
OLD FRUIT TREES
Travelling Timber Buyers Buy
Them Up for Manufacture of
Tool Ha ndIes-They
Should be Spared.
(By ]. III. HAYNEs.)

There seems to be a disposition on
the part of the farmers to ostracize
the old standbys of years ago. 1t
seems like sacrilege to do so.
Some travelling timber buyers went
over our country buying old apple
trees for the manufacture of tool
handles. Their story was that the
trees were worthless for fruiting and
the price they paid would replace the
old trees with young stock.
The grandfather of the writer
planted an orchard (seedlings) 80
years ago. He gave his children the
privileges Of choosing tree and nam
Ing It.
One of the boys called his tree
"Bills Apple" This tree is still living
and bearing. So is the boy who
named 1t.
One other of these seedlings that
was top-grafted with the Pound Pip
pin Is still bearing. Enough wood was
taken from these two old trees to
make a gavel to be used by the pre-
siding officer at the annual meeting of
the descendent of the old pioneer.
Last August over 200 of these chill
dren and grandchildren met to COM
memorate the memory of the planter
of these two old trees and this gavel
was presented to the society.
Some four or five miles from where
these trees stand is pear orchard all

DISSOLVE BONE IN THROAT
Use Of Lemon Juice at Critical Time
10 Thing Worth Keeping
In Mind.

Sitting at a planked shad dinner in
Yonkers, laughing guest drew bone
into his throat and he began to
strangle. Some one suggested that the
sufferer swallow fragment OF dry
bread.
"Oh. no." exclaimed an Ossining
man. Don't give him bread. It might
catch the bone and 1t might not. Give
him something that is sure to give re-
Lief" Reckoning to waiter, he said:
Bring me lemon, cut in two" And
1t was brought without delay. Taking
enc section, he offered 1t to the chok-
ing guest and told him to suck the
Juice and to swallow 1t slowly. Direc-
tions were faithfully followed. and In
about quarter of minute the af"
fiicted one placed the half lemon on
his plate, looked into the anxious faces
around the table and smiled.
We'll, Joe." said one, "how about
it?'
TITS gone,' was the reply, "the bone
has slipped down."
mot exactly that" said the Ossin-
ing man. "The bone slipped down, all
right, but 1t was melted first by the
citric acid. | never knew 1t to fail
to dissolve a flshbone, You can test
the power OF lemon Juice by dropping
some on the tishbones you may have
lying on your plate"
Several diners tried the experiment.
In each case the acid reduced the bone
to liquid gelatine.

ORIGIN or FAMOUS PHRASE
Belief that Common Political Term
sprang From Horse Race Held
In Tennessee.

The political term dark horse" is
thought to have had its origin in the
following circumstances:
In the last century there lived in
