why his license should not be re-
voked on the ground of violations

had permitted gambling in his
place, had kept it open ON Sundays,
and had sold liquor to minors. The
charges were alleged to be backed
up by evidence gathered by Mr..

In view f the fact that Mr..
West agrees in future TO keep and
maintain his place strictly accord
ing to law, and to adhere to and
abide by the following regulations,

defer action upon the complaint un-
til the July meeting of the board:

The Arkansas Homestead of
Little Rock has purchased Back
to-the-Land, a paper established
by William r. Lighton and late
ly operated by H. G. Spaulding
at Pine Bluff, and the two papers
have been united under the
name of the Arkansas Farmer
and Homestead, with Clay Sloan
of Black Rock as agricultural ed
itor and John G.. Small as man
ager. A new printing outfit has
been installed at Little Rock and
the paper is now published twice
month. This consolidation
gives the Arkansas Farmer and
Homestead a circulation of 3d.

strong agricultural papers of
the South.

Shot Man to Save Levee.

Arkansas City, April 20.-Af
ter refusing to drive his cattle
from a weak place in a levee and
threatening to kill one of the
guards, the officers say, Edward
Robinson, a farmer was shot
and killed at the J. S. Wise le-
wee camp here by Deputy Sheriff
Wise Saturday afternoon. The
officer was also acting as guard
on the levee.
According to guards at the
camp, which is on Amos bayou
at a crossing of the Memphis,
Helena and Louisiana railroad,
the levee was being patrolled
to prevent it being cut.
Robinson, the guards say, came
to the camp and declared that
he would not drive several head
of cattle from a weak place on
the levee. One of the guards
warned Robinson to stay off the
levee, and Robinson then threat
ened to cut the guards throat,
the guard says. Deputy Sheriff
Wise was in charge of the pa
trolling of the levee and had
warned Robinson to leave. Rob-
inson, however, advanced upon
the guard, it is said, and Deputy
Sheriff Wise, in defense of the
guard, shot Robinson with a re-
volver, killing him. Deputy
Sheriff Wise says that Robinson
also threatened to kill him and
that he shot Robinson because
he believed that Robinson would
have killed the guard.

Buying At Home.

Complaint is often heard that
Memphians do not purchase
Memphis-made goods, and the
complaint is found to be justl-
fled on investigation. A great
many manufacturing industries
in Memphis are compelled to
ship their produce to distant cit
les in order to find a market, and
this product is frequently re-
turned to Memphis in whole or
in part for distribution. In
some cases st. Louis merchants
buy the outputs Of the Memphis
factories, and merely store them
in warehouses in this city, from
which they fill orders to Mem
phis merchants when called for.
This is a discouraging and an
expensive condition of affairs. 1t
should not exist. Cities like At
lanta buy nothing from abroad
that can be manufactured at
home, and they will\admit that
thing can be manufactured a.
broad any better than it\s man
ufactured at home. This Us the
proper spirit, and should been-
couraged and increased. TFe
economic waste in shipment and
reshipment is a dead loss, which
should be avoided, and the spirit
Of civicism should be strong
enough to induce people to- patA
ronize their neighbors and build
up their own town.-Memphfs
