Nine-Year-OId Lad Unable to Speak
 After Drinking the Liquor.

cabot-The 9-year-old son of James Blassingame, living three miles south west of Cabot, died from the effects of drinking a quantity of whiskey.
 The father and one boy were work. ing in a field in one place, and another boy and hired hand were in an. other place in the field, and they had the family" whiskey with them.
 The boy got the whiskey and drank too much. He went to the other brother, but fell just as he got near him, and was carried to the house and died before a doctor arrived.
 The family and neighbors rolled the child's body on the flood and stood him on his head, and quantity of whiskey ran out his mouth, but the lad was never able to talk, and soon expired.

 AN ARKANSAS NEGRO
CONGRESSMAN SAM M. TAYLOR GOT ENOUGH WINTER UP
 IN MICHIGAN.

western newspaper union News service.
 Washington.-It would take all the kings horses and all the kings men to drag Congressman Sam M. Taylor of Pine Bluff, away upon another con- gressional investigation in the winter time with the thermometer down to 40 degrees below zero. Congressman Fay lar recently accompanied a subcom- mittee on Mines, of which he is a member, to Calumet, Mich., to investi- gate the copper mine strike in that state.
 Although the committee remained in Michigan until week or so ago, the winter weather showed no sign of let up and Congressman Taylor who was born and reared in the South, was as pleased as school boy on the last day of school when the committee boarded the train bound for Washington. When they had become comfortable in the Pullman sleeper Colonel Taylor heaved sigh of relief as he said, Well hope I will never see any more sleds or snow as long as I live. I would rather right now see nigger and 8 mule than any other sight in the world. would be glad to pay s1 for just one glimpse of an Arkansas negro"
 I've done got you'ah dollah, Gun nel Taylor" said a voice from the rear
 It was the negro porter speaking and no sooner had he uttered his first ex- clamation of surprise than he grabbed Colonel Taylor about the waist and fairly hugged him as he danced about the car.
 It seems the porter was a negro named Foster, the stepson of Henry Childers, well-known negro of Pine Bluff, Ark, who had many times done odd. jobs about Colonel Taylor's home at Pine Bluff.
 Cheerfully Colonel Taylor handed the porter S1 and it goes without say ing that the Arkansas congressman and his colleagues had no occasion to wish for anything for the remainder of the trip.

ARKANSAS FARM
 VALUES INCREAS.
FARM PROPERTY VALUATION INCREASED IN CENSUS DE-
 CADE 1908 PER CENT.
ONLY ONE FOURTH IMPROVE
Average Value of Agricultural Lan Almost Doubled From
 1900 to 1910.
Western Newspaper Union News servic.

Western Newsps per Union News Service
 Little Rock.-According to figur compiled by the Department of Co1 merce and Labor, there was a notab increase in the agricultural indust of Arkansas during the census decaI ending 1910. There was an increase in the number of farms of 35,984, or 21 per cent, as compared with an in crease of POL per cent in the popula- tfon. During the decade the total farm acreage as well as the improved acreage increased, the former by AT per cent, and the latter by 16.1 per cent. There was a decrease in the average size of the farms from 931 acres to 81.1 acres. The average value of a farm increased during the period S3.6 per cent, the value, including equipment, averaging $1,864. The average value of farm land almost doubled during the decade, the 1910 average being s7.81 per acre.
 One of the most notable increases is that of the value of farm property, 1905 per cent, having been s1S1 ,416,- 001 in 1900, and $400,0S9, ,303 in 1910. The acres of improved lands increased 76.1 per cent, from 6,953.735 in 1900 to 8,076,254 in 1910. Of the total values of farm property, 77.3 per cent is land and buildings, 1855 per cent is live stock and Az per cent implements and machinery.
 The value of farm property in 1850 was only s23,514,510, so that the CO., year increment is $376,575, ,000. Dur ing the war decade of 1S6070, how ever, there was net decrease of sT0 0,330,oo0, almost three-fifths, not fully recovered in the succeeding de- cade.
