ELBERTA CROP ESTIM-
 ATED ONE.HALF.

Bert Johnson, the peach man, estimates that he has a full half crop of peaches left on his or chards, and with the naturally better grade he looks forward to very profitable harvest.
 MT. Johnson states that the recent damage was done by blizzard, and that, unlike in an ordinary freeze, the greater damage being done to trees on the hills where the land is thin. He says that this is especially so in the case of trees that bore heav- fly last year and bloomed early this season. Mr. Johnson adds that many of his trees new have all the fruit they can possibly support.

lHIp GAR OF FINE
 BEEF CATTLE

prohably the finest bunch o1 ,oof cattle ever shipped from this city left here this morning for Little Rock,
 There were twepty-seven head of steers, Herefords and Dur hams and they ranged in weight m to 1900 pounds. They were owned by Loomis and Denman who raised the most of them on the Lomis place several miles south of this city,
 This car of cattle was sold to Veil Packing Company, Little Rock, and will net the owners something over 5000.
 A large nnmber of our farmers are stocking their farms with thorough bred animals and they always find a good demand and receive a good price for them. The razor backs" tor pine-root- ersl are fast disappearing and in the near future will be replaced in every instance by better and more profitable animals.

tried to get close enough to Smith to arrest him. He finally got in shooting distance of the robber just as he was crossing a small creek on log. He aimed his gun at Smith and ordered him to throw up his hands. This was done and Mr. Jones made Smith gei in the middle of the road and place all the money and other contents of his pockets in a handkerchief. He then placed Smith on his horse in front of him and brought him here and turned him over to the sheriff.
 When the money was counted it was found that he had S55. 45. Mr. Atwood was not quite sure of the exact amount he had in the bag at the time it was stolen. Smith is now in the county jail and will probably be given a hearing tomorrow.

point. The patient was brought in
with wound in mis- forhead over his
right eyebrow. Matter was oozing
from the wound, but he was perfectly
rational and had no paralysis. He was
taken into the study, put to sleep by
Mr.. Pilley, one of our evangelists, and
with aforesaid instruments, bony frag-
ments, macerated grain tissue, and
missile weighing nearly two ounces,
were removed. His having no paralysis
and his being rational, are explained by
the fact that being right handed man
and the wound being on the right side,
the center of thought located in a
rlght-handed person on the left side of
the frontal lobe We're uninjured; and as
the injury was too far forward to in
volve the motor centers of the left side,
ne had no paralysis But lest / wear
you out with too much ''shop talk, !" I'll
talk about my shop for awhile.
AS Mrs. Manget has written the
appropriation for the year was used
up before our hospital rent or help
ers were paid. Besides this, various
current expenses, together with the
constant replenishing of our stock Of
drugs and surgical supplies, had to be
provided for on the field. so we had
to be careful, as well as keep busy.
During the first few months our
clinics were small, of course. We. put
up no posters; only did the best we
could for each patient that came, and
never turned one away, because he had
no money. Our clinics have steadily
grown, till now we are getting all that
we can do, and those who have money
appreciate what we are doing enough
to pay US for it. thus enabling US to
care for the poor practically without
charge.
Thus far we have two main sources
of revenue; one, refraction, (examina-
ton of eyes and fitting of glasses) the
other, chronic opium cases. AS a fell
low would say, 1--WE saw hard time"
at first, for we needed so much and
had so little with which to buy, but
the returns from fitting some hundred
eye cases brought US money to tide
over till the officials began to close in
on the opium smokers. When the
ismoking of opium was prohibited, the
Ipeople began using opium pills. The
officials then went to each shop in the
city and, selecting pills out of any box
he wished, asked me if l would come to
his public office and test for arsenic and
opium. did, and found opium present
in every pill examined. making the
tests in the presence Of the officials,
Soon after, an anti-pill proclamation
went forth, and as l had done the of
ficiai kindness he proceeded to do me
one, and turned the cases in to US "to
break the habit" We have fifty cases
on hand now, receiving daily treatment,
many others having been cured So
the financial way has been opened up
to us to such an extent that we have
been able to do all the charity work
that came to us and not get in debt,
allowing me to go to conference feel
ing as good as the pastor whose church
has paid all it's assessments in full and
kept up missionary besides.

for trying such an operation under such
conditions; but the tumor came out,
and the patient, who was charity and
stayed in the house, made rapid re-
covery. That he is far handsomer now,
the accompanying photographs will
show. AS an expression of gratitude,
he brought us 100 eggs and a chicken.
AS Mrs. Manget declines to do all
my writing for me, I'll have to take up
the story.
While we We're getting the hospital
ready, the Revolution was progressing
and we had a few experiences that
might prove interesting. One morn
ing our pastor from De Der, village
twenty miles away in the hill region,
came in greatly excited, ard stated
that a band of robbers had attacked the
town; one of the citizens had been shot
in the head, and the gentry had sent
him to ask me to go at once. From the
history of the case, supposed that |
would have to do trephine, SO looking
into my hardware kit, found a scoop
chisel, which, with carpenters ham,
mer, was to take the place of my needed
trephine. These, with pair of tooth
forceps, scissors and artery clamps,
knives and bone forceps, and a hypo-
dermic syringe, we set out. Arriving
at the village at shutdown, we went i'm
mediately to the Buddhist temple,
where the patient, covered with blood,
was lying on pile of straw in front of
the idols. Going through the streets, |
saw what imagine the missionaries in
Boxer time encountered, tho under far
different circumstances. Turning a
corner, | ran into troop of about two
hundred men armed in every conceiv-
able way Some had large blades used
by officials for beheading prisoners;
others U-shaped hooks fixed into large
wooden handlesand, presenting pitch
fork appearance; still others had reap
hooks and short stout knives used for
cutting bushes; while those in front
were armed, some with modern rifles,
some with long barreled shotguns used
by country people for duck shooting

frank, was glad that it was not Manget
they were hunting. Ten years ago the

WRITES FROM CHINA
An Interesting Letter Received
From a Martha Missionary

AT the Methodist Church Sunday
night large congregation enjoyed
unioue service. Mr.. H. V. Manning
was there with his moving picture
machine and showed vivid colored pic
tures of churches, schools, streets,
rivers tea houses. fields, industries and
portraits of people. Prof. Spruell gave
q very instructive and interesting talk
about China and it's future possibilities.
Mr. j. j Daniel told about DR.. Fred
Manget and his work as a doctor in
China. Pictures of DIR. Manget's home
and of him with his dear little daughter
In his arms were among the most in
teresting of all. Only three and half
years ago in that: church DR.. Manget
and Miss Louise Anderson were mar
nsed just before they sailed away to
&Aina.
Mr.. Daniel read extracts from let

a his fine character and ability and
wpedicted great things for his future.

90 Where You Want Me To Co.
We give below some extracts from
Or. Mangets letter about his work in
China.
Huchow, China,
October 1912.
Ny Dear Friends:
Mrs. Manget's power Of description
80 far surpasses mine that | have
asked her to give you an idea of the
opening of our hospital which is as
follows.
The conference of 1911 decided to
open Medical Work for those beside
church members, scholars in church
schools and foreigners, giving the
doctor 81 900 in U. S. currency for
the year With this money he must
buy, build or rent a hospital building
and equip it. OF course land could
not be bought and building put up
for this amount, so we rented, with
the privilege of making any necessary
changes in it, large Chinese house
very much in need of repairs. The
carpenters went to work and when
they and the painters had finished,
the landlord could hardly recognize
his own property. l can't very well
describe a Chinese house to YOU
as you never saw anything like one,
so you would not get very clear idea
Just imagine this one as being more
like three large square houses set one
behind the other with little open
courts between and all having the
same outside walls There is the
front door and possibly one side or
back door; the windows are few and
far between if any, the light and air
being admitted through the open
courts. imagine they build in this
closed up style as protection
against thieves and robbers, for one
cannot imagine any other reason for
the unsnitary, uncomfortable, I'M
slightly custom.
