DaStardIV Crime.

Last Friday night the driving
horse of the News family got out
of the barn, or was taken out,
and while out he was shot. The
veterinarian says he has one
show in hundred to recover.
The bullet entered the body
just back of the right front leg
and, so far as can be ascertained
by probing, entered the front
part of the right lung. Dr..
Shive is in charge.
1t is one way to get even, this
shooting of a mans horse, and
the fires of hell do not burn quite
hot enough for that sort of a
fiend,

While we think of it, and it is
a good subject to give thought,
do you realize that there has
been more and better work done
on the streets of Baxter the past
three or four years than ever be-
fore? The work has not been
done in a slipshod manner, but
has been done with a view to per-
mauency, and it shows for itself.
The work was begun under the
administration of DR.. Jones, and
has been carried along under the
administration of Mayor Hartley.
Few towns in this part of the
country have the natural mater
ial to make such streets as can
be made here, and We should al:
ways and at all times take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to
use the material when we can
get it. We refer of course, to
the immense beds of river gravel
which are alwaysaccessible when
the river is low.

AT THE PEEP OF DAY
Robinson's Famous Shows Trains
Will Arrive.

Older people are inclined to laugh at
the small boy who arises at a. M,
on circus day and hies to the railroad
yards to see the show unload. But
if they only knew it little Johnnie has
the best of the game. He is able to
see many things that the older ones
miss, things that are really interest
ing, even thrilling
Few people realize the wonderful
system that enables a big organiza-
ton like Robinson's Famous Shows to
be moved from one city to another,
get ready and give two performances
in one day, and get out of town with
out friction or accident, leaving not
even tent stake of the entire para
phernalia as a reminder of their visit.
1t is marvellous to watch the skillful
unloading of the enormous wagons,
dens and tableaux without hitch or
a moments delay; to see the big,
handsome horses take their places
like clockwork; to see the elephants
push wagons in place, lift immense
center poles, and perform other duties
where their meaSureless strength
comes into play.
Older people might follow little
Johny's example with profit. Just try
it once on the morning of Wednesday.

Shows will arrive by the L. & N. rail-
road and give two performances, in

TREE SEED INDUSTRY

Newman, have been to Raywick, Ma

rally, took up that question with the

and handling the seeds. Mr. Barton
said this industry is important in con-
nection with the subject of reforstra-

ways do better than those shipped
from other places.

Mr.. WARREN BACON DOING
GOOD WITH LOCANDA IN SOUTH

Mr.. Warren A. Bacon, formerly OF
this city, now of Prairieville, Ala, is
doing great business with the great
stallion, Locanda, in the South.
There are those who predicted that
such horse as Locanda would not be
appreciated in the South That is,
the people there would not pay
enough for the services of a high-class
horse.
Thirty-eight local mares have al
ready been booked to Locanda, at the
unprecedented price for that section
of $50 to insure.
Two mares from Cincinnati have
also been sent to his court, and Mr..
Bacon is confident the number sent to
his horse will pass the half hundred
mark before May days come.
Such conditions do not exist in all
sections of the South, however, but
Mr.. Bacon is nicely settled in an ex-
cellent section of the famous Black
Belt, where the people have always
been prosperous enough to buy what
they wanted, and have loved good
horses since the days of the Red Men.
1t is country similar to that where
the McCurdy's of The Tramp fame
live and breed good horses. There is
no reason why with Bermuda pasture
alfalfa and Johnson grass hay that a
country whose soil is richer in car
Donate of lime than any other in the
world should not raise as good horses
as Kentucky or Tennessee.
