The Protracted Meeting.

The meetings at the Christian Church are growing nightly in interest and power Evangelist Gilmore is a forceful preacher. and fearlessly condemns sin in both high and low places. Last night in his sermon of Little Foxes" he made strong hit against some of the so-called Little Sins, such as bad tenn pers, anger. gossip. card playing, etc. He especially rapped the game so popular among church and social circles called Rock. ]" He alleged that rock was invent ed by a Texas man for the pur- pose of evading the law in Texas against gambling. and as a sub stitute for the ordinary playing cards to play such games as high five. poker" etc. He strongly condemned church mem bers for engaging in practices and amusements that the church and laws of the land condemn.
 Come out and hear him tonight. His subject is, The Faith That Saves; Wednesday night on The Way That Seems Right" Thursday night, My God Re quires Men To Repent"; Friday night, ''The Change of Heart" Saturday night, Chunks In Your Wheel. "

 Her maiden name was Cump- ton. She leaves a husband, five children; Tom, Ewell, George and Ida of California and Mal- colm of this place, besides broth CTS, sisters and scores of friends who mourn her death, Malcolm, who lives on the old home place, was the only one of the children who was not near her when death came and could not reach Downey in time for the funeral. He has the sympathy of everyone.
 Mrs. Miller was a consecrated Christian, lady of refinement who lived in harmony with the best of her environment and made the environment better all her days, which were many and full of honor.

mouth similar indications appear upon the feet, which are swollen, red, and tender Because of this the animal frequently per- sists in lying down, and bedsores develop with much rapidity, In the case of cows the udder and, more frequently, the teats are affected by a similar eruption.
 Once the disease is we'll estab- lished it becomes so painful for the animal to eat that food is frequently refused altogether. Strings of saliva hang from the mouth, and flesh is lost with as. tonishing rapidity. When the udder is seriuosly affected the milk becomes contaminated and may cause serious results to sucking calves and young pigs. In mild cases from 10 to 20 days may bring about an apparent re- covery, but this time may. be greatly extended. Moreover, an apparent recovery by no means implies a real cure. The animal may carry the virus in it's blood for a year or more and is liable during all this time to spread the contagion or to experience recurrence itself. The mortal Iity, considering the seriousness of the disease and the losses it occasions, is very small, being estimated by some authorities at 5 per cent, although it frequent ly is much greater than this. The mortality, however, by no means represents the real losses occasioned by the disease. No revenue is possible from infected herds, and in the case of dairy men an outbreak of foOt-and- mouth disease frequently means that their business is completely ] ruined.

Home Grown Xmas Dinners.

| All ONCI CIlC oLdCC lilO WoiAi~h are getting ready to have Grown in Arkansas" Christ mas dinners. This is one of the results of the Profitable Farming Campaign now being carried on in Arkansas. Governor Hays IS receiving many congratulations upon issuing the proclamation calling upon the people to have their tables at Christmas only those products that are grown in the State.
 In some sections this senti- ment has been taken up by the progressive housewives to mean that it is best to have dinners all the year round of edibles grown in the State. The Grown in Arkansas" move ment has been greatly populariz- ed by the Governors proclama- tion and the farming men in the Campaign say that if the people live up to it. it will save thou sands of dollars in every com munity that are being sent to other states for such things as meats, butter and eggs, svegeta- bles and canned goods.
 The farmers say that no state in the Union can make of its own products a better Christmas dinner than can Arkansas. Almost everything that grows can be grown in Arkansas. In a home grown dinner on Christ mas, or any other day. the only two things not grown in this State will be oysters and cran- berries. Of course coffee and sugar are excepted. Salsify, however, is an excellent substi- stute for oysters. and for cran- berries plnm jelly can be substi- tuted. With the table decorated with Arkansas holly and mistle- toe and loaded with Arkansas turkey tame or wild-crisp, popping chestnuts, delicious sweet potatoes and Irish pota- toes; corn, bacon, steaks and mutton, surely cranberries and oysters will not be missedl
 The farming men in the cam paign are urging the people to raise everything they eat all the year round. Arkansas" says Holden. has been paying a heavy tribute to the Central West for the necessities of life when they could be raised here cheaper than in the Central West, because of the fine climate and productivity of the soil. This is the first step in making Arkansas a better and a richer State.

Profits On Statecraf.

Bismarck was the last centu- rvs great master of statecraft. His diplomacy made an empire and got him vast admiration and many monuments.
 And after it was all done-tO wit, on Sunday. the twenty first of October, 1877, as Busch scrupulously records: While he was seated in the position l have described, and after gazing for awhile into space, he complain ed to us that he had had little pleasure or satisfaction in his political life; he had made no one happy thereby neither him. self nor his family nor others. We protested, but he continued:
 " There is no doubt. however, that I have caused unhapiness to great numbers. But for me. three great wars would not have taken place. Eighty thousand men would not have been killed and would not now be mourned by parents, brothers, sisters, and widows. "
 Probably the makers of the present war will philosophize about it that way long after it is too late.

Foot and Mouth Disease.

DoOSSAOSs
 The outbreak of foot and mouth disease has already affected the states of Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Wiscon- sin. Maryland, Iowa, Rhode Is- land. New Jersey and Delaware.
 That Germany spent $2, 900, 900 and the United States $500, GOO in fighting previous outbreaks will give the reader some idea of the seriouness of the present trouble.
 These previous outbreaks have not been sufficiently serious either to familiarize farmers with the symptoms of the dis ease or to render them fully alive to the losses that it occasions when permitted to gain a firm foot-hold. One of it's most dan gerous characteristics is it's ex- treme contagiousness. Not only may it be conveyed directly from one animal to another, but it may be transported in fodder, picked up from the ground and carried over the country by cats. dogs, and chickens. or communi- cated through the agency of man. Cases have already been found in which it seems certain that the disease was spread by the curiosity of farmers to in- spect suffering animals. They returned from these visits to communicate the disease to their own previously healthy herds.
 The contagiousness of the dis ease explains the action of the Federal authorities in quarentin- ing such large areas. The prac- tice is to clap blanket of quar- entine on the State in which a case of the disease has been found, and then, by careful in- vestigation, determine the exact area infected. When an animal suffering from foot-and-mouth disease is discovered in a herd the whole herd is at once slaugh- tered. Otherwise it would re- main dangerous source of in- lection and be menace to the entire community. It is custom ary to appoint an appraiser to value the herd. One-half of the appraised value is paid to the owner by the Federal Govern ment and one-half by the State. The slaughtered animals are buried in a deep trench, their hides slashed to make it useless for anyone to dig them up agaln, and the carcasses are saturated with quicklime. In this manner previous outbreaks have been completely stamped out and there is every reason to hope that this will be the case this year. The chief danger is that there may be infected herds whose existance is not reported to the proper authorities. Farm CTS are therefore urged. both for their neighbors, to report imme- diately all cases of suspicious sore mouths or lameness among their stock.
 Foot-and-mouth disease affects chiefly cattle, sheep, goats, and swine, but there are number of other animals of less commercial importance which are also sus- ceptible. Occasionally human beings are affected. but in the majority of instances the disease is not severe in the case of man. Children. however. may become dangerously i'll if their milk is infected.
 The first indications of the dis ease are a chill followed by a high fever, the temperature ris- ing rapidly. sometimes to 1Oe 1 Joc~ooo E Yr cho~< <sv~no x,oc
