Gulch one morning, informed


Gulch one morning, informed
the miners living there that
they were brother and sister, built a
cabin and settled themselves. Mark
Golfer bought claim and every morn
ing. shouldering his pick and shovel
went out to work it, while Sarah re-
manned at home and did the house
work. Sarah was a good looking wo-
man thirty years of age and had not
been long at Lone Star Gulch before
she was sought in marriage by several
miners. She, however, declined the
attentions of them ALL declaring that
she was devoted to her brother and
would not leave him.
There was one, however, who per-
sisted. This was Ralph McCann. He
was 4 fair haired blue eyed fellow Of
twenty eight and had very attractive
way with him. especially for women.
He soon made Roadway with Sarah
Golfer, who did not from the first turn

being relieved of the support of Il sis

to Sarah to stand by him in preference

but weep and wiring her hands. Evi-

with the stranger.
One evening after working hours
Golfer and Mccain met on the road

"She clings to you in preference to

Golfer turned white. He made as if
to draw his revolver, but instantly
changed his mind.
LET her alone" he cried fiercely and
strobe rapidly away
The next morning a note from Sarah
was left at McCann's door begging him
to desist from any further attempt to

The bush lima should be planted

to make q furrow three or four inches

Experiments at the Cornell station

causes of failure in alfalfa culture, and
the PRACTICAL suggestions derived from
the results were that at least mod

fertilizer is valuable in this. connec-

Don't Waste Your Hog Feed.

1t is a great mistake and poor bust
ness management to raise hogs. feed
them high priced corn and then allow
them to be in the rain and cold. Some
farmers think that because q hog is a
hog it can get along with any kind of
shelter or with no shelter at all. The
corn and other feeds you give may
make them grow, but dampnesS will

It is hoped that before long these will be enabled to do that which their conscience tell them they should do.

THE treatment of the Arkansas State Militia was rather a severe one yet, it appears that some drastic treatment was necessary and it is doubtful if the dose ad- ministed was not the cheapest, best and really the most effective that could have been given. The state guard is a good thing but the drunken revelry and debauches of immortality and crime that have brought disgrace on the state. didn't appear to worry the soldier boys" nor their commanding officers very much.
