Phil lips bought load of logs from a farm- CT few days ago and his strange find was in the load. There have been sev- eral explanations of ike find by local citizens, one being that during the Civil war a man was hanged in tree which was afterward blown down, the foot catching in the fork and the tree growing around it. During the war the country around Batesville, according to pioneer residents, was the rendez- vous of "Jayhawkers," who on many occasions tortured people to obtain their money, and many believe that MT.

The press of Arkansas attained a signal victory in the house by tabling the Greenhouse bill, which provides for the publication of amendments to be submitted to the people in pamphlet form, instead of in the newspapers, as has been the custom. Davis, of Lafay- cite, supporter of the bill, whom the opponents evidently could not show sufficient figures to convince him that publication in the newspapers was not more economical, besides giving a much larger circulation, and visiting the voter more frequently, was made the goat of the proposition. The members of the Arkansas Press Association had been before the Judi ciarv committee of the house, and con- vinced it the newspaper publication was far superior to the phamphlet form, an adverse report on the bill being made in the committee. The bill was called up, those who fa- vored newspaper publication tackled on 1 an amendment, after the bill had been permitted to go back to second reading for that purpose.
 | Parker of Ouachita, editor of the Stephens News, moved the adoption of | the resolution.
 Opponents of the measure were thick about Davis, of Lafayette, who had been fighting everything that looked like a move from the press supporters. Several suggested the amendment ought to be tabled. Davis took the suggestion as coming from supporters ,of the bill He quickly jumped to his feet and made the motion to table the amendment. The house voted aye" almost unanimously, and Davis, of Lafayette, sat down in peace to enjoy his great victory.
 MT. Speaker" yelled Parker, of Qua chita, "does not the tabling of an amendment carry the tabling of the l bill with it?"
 Indeed it does replied the speaker and Davis was crestfallen.

FEW VALUES IN GOOD ROADS
Added Freedom and Pleasures Arr
Among Some of the Real Benefits
of Lower Cost Of Hauling.

Five miles to the picnic ground
does that mean for you an hours hard
work guiding your team over "chugs"
and ruts and around and through mud
holes, with tired horses and soiled
clothes when you get there, or does
1t mean a pleasant drive Of thirty
minutes or less with no exertion on
your part and little on the part of
your team?
In the winter when the plays and
lectures come to your town, can you
drive in and arrive as neat and calm
as any townsman, or do you think of
all the long stretches Of bad roads
between you and the town hall, and
decide to stay at home rather than
face them?
Good roads are needed not only be-
cause they save the farmer money
and increase land values, but because
in a very real sense they bring him
nearer to all the rest of the world,
and enable him and his family to
share in pleasures and privileges
often out of his reach when roads are
bad, says the Progressive Farmer.
When you go to figure on the cost
and the value OF improved highways
do not forget that they have real
and great value in the added enjoy
ment and the added freedom they
bring; and that this is benefit not
less real than reduction in the cost
of the hauling you do.

Quaint conceit.

Matthew Arnold's Olympian man
ner was not intended to be taken Sc

The speaker was Mrs. Caroline
