Weather Signs.

The wise ones of today should not scorn the weather signs of the simple-minded Indian and negro, and of the county folk, who believe implicitly in them. It is a simple thing to say that when it rains on Monday, it is sure to rain frequently through out the week, and perhaps every day or night, yet anyone who will take the trouble to observe this phenomenon will see that it is quite true as the majority of scientific predictions made by the weather bureau. When the new moon droops in such a posi- tion that the Indian cannot hang his powder horn on it the mean ing is generally understood. When the moon is surrounded by a great ring, translucent and shimmering, there is sure to be rain immediately. If in this ring there are stars visible it means that rain will be deferred one day for every star that can be counted. Another supposedly infallible sign is the katydid, who is heard three months to a day before frost. The roses are weather harbingers also, and they take on a peculiar hue in October. Observant people say that the October tint is already on the rose, and that we may look for an early fall. Of course, we believe in the scientists, but it is not always wise to ignore the signs and portents of the common people. = Memphis News-Scimitar.

Walnut Ridge, Sept. 22.- James Morris of Rayenden, aged about 40 years, was killed at a sawmill at Hoxie at 10 o'clock to- day. He was working on the cutoff saw, and by some manner lost his balance and fell against the saw, which ripped him open, cutting his heart into the body. He was brought to the McLamb Bros. undertaking establishment and embalmed for shipment. This was his first day at the mill. He leaves wife and several children. His son was working by his side at the time of the ac- cident.
