 F.. T. Churchill, the busy old bachelor who bought 70 acres of land of Robert Fortner several years ago, is one of the hardest working men that ever struck Polk county. He whacks away on his lit- the farm until harvest time, and then he hikes for Kansas and doesn't show up any more until aft CT corn husking time in the fall. Then he goes to grubbing again. Mr. Churchill is not only digging a fruit farm out of the woods, but he is do- ing some good boosting for this part of Polk county, and the kind of boosting that counts, too Last week he sold the i20-acre fruit farm known as the Bill Dover place, west of town, to John Rey- holds of Jackson county, Kas., an other old bachelor, by the way.

The quarantine proposition by the way, is a cannon that i' loaded at both ends and shoots botf ways. It is all right used in tho right way, but it is business bus ter used in the wrong way.

Seemingly the members of the Polk County Fruit Growers Asso- citation are not showing the proper interest in the work of their asso- citation. They have been twice called to meet at different times in Mena within two months, and yet there were but few in attendance each time. This indifference of the many will not prevent the few from carrying on the work as orig inally intended, and they will be at the called meeting next Saturday and continue the work of the as sociatiOn and endeaVor to make it's future influence for good of the as sociation beneficial to it's mem bers, and the community also. It is not showing the proper appre- citation of liberal assistance of the merchants and business men of Mena who so promptly came to our help last year, and it would not be worthy for us to be reluctant in keeping up our organization now or in the future. Let us get to- gether and all pull and push to- gether for more and better results from now on. Cooperation will be our strength and success, the fruit of all working together,

Death of Ed s. HobIitzell.

GONe, AfK, FeD. l2.
 The death of Ed s. Hoblitzell was a distinct shock to the people of our city and was doubly distressing to his realtives because of the ne- cessity of burial at Garyin, Ok. De- ceased was 5 years of age, and was a bookkeeper by profession and an expert timber man by trade. He was born in Marion county, Kansas, and moved to Polk county with his parents many years ago. He was well educated. When the Kansas City, Pittsburg X Gulf railroad was being constructed, Ed was employed as right-of-way agent and secured the right-of-way for the road from the state line near Howard to Hat ton Gap.
 Deceased was married to Miss Goldie Golf at Mena in June, 1895, and to this union two children were born, Elizabethe aged lG, and Pete, aged ll, and the bereaVed family has the sincere sympathy of the entire community.
 About four years ago Mr. HOblit- zell lost a leg in jumping from a freight train ntar here, and brought suit against the Kansas City South ern for $20000. The case was tried in Kansas City about one year ago, but as the presiding judge was act ing in a pro-tem capacity he re- fused to let the case go before the jury, and set the case for a rehear- ing before the regular judge. The case comes up for trial again some time this month.
