 There is going to be something doing in the feed line hereabout this year, and a good beginning has al ready been made in the oat crop line.

Now if everybody will get busy for big corn crop this year there will not be so much shipped in here as usual. Oats, by the way, are an excellent filler be- tween corn crops, and no better horse feed, especially for summer work, grows out of the ground.

ACORN ABIT.

P. Reed, with his wolf hunting company, gave the Varmints long chase last Tuesday. When last heard the dogs were going west as far as old Shawmetown. They were three days in getting back. Bully!
 Mr. Kinney, who bought the Sweet Anice farm of Orin Anderson, has arrived with his son and a car of household goods. He is finishing ing of the remainder of his family from North Missouri, which will be at an early date.
 Major Adams is still buying and feeding hogs for the northern mar kets. Our boss sold him a small load this. week, which makes $40 of hogs from off the Water Valley farm this winter. So you see Acorn is quite commercial.
 Agent W. c. B. Allen is having more land cleared and fenced and is buying chickens of a new feath- CT and spur every fortnight. They already carry a stock of eight or nine different breeds, so the rib bons will all go their way at the great day of the coming fair unless Foreman Pettygrew enter his span of Arkansas Blacks.
 Last week was quite profitable tO us and others, as there were four days that were good for blow ing and our teams were kept at the blows and wagon the entire week, and we hope to have working weather this week. If not with the blows they can haul wood in the 70 acres of new land, open ditches, pull stumps and drive the hogs to the mountains.
 Now l want to say that our fall sown rye has proved a success so far, as it has been grazed almost constantly by calves, hogs and goats, and the wheat is doing very well. Stock of all kinds was never III better condition at this season of the year. Feed is high, but stock is higher, so If man can afford to keep stock he must afford to feed and shelter it, otherwise loss will occur. So here's success to Brother Fisherman and his model 10 acres. and give us many more of his kind. And will The Star and Democrat never stop improving?
 We flopped out of bed at o'clock Sunday morning, our usual time. and on viewing the landscape found 1t carpeted with an inch of warm, llfe-glVlng snow. Not groan squeal or bleat was heard from live stock or fowl. It was not an entire y good day for invalids nor a bad day for rugged ones who had plan ned an outing, and we have heard or no church services, neighbOr- hood visiting or big dinners, as is sometimes the case. How good anC pleasant it is to own a big double barrel storm chimney such as this old iron jacket building in prim- itiVe days when men were able tc shift for themselves and womer could spin a hank, weave a wei and knit a pair of stockings. What l If us ordnaries should get burned out or want io enlarge our domi- clle? We must employ a unior carpenter and mason at the maxi | mum wage and count eight hour. for days work. Common people are not able to buy and pay fol everything that is offered for salC and read the Mena papers. so I sug. gest building split-log or adob, houses with cat chimneys. anC cover with thatch. as cut shingle, are no good.
