THE RECORD
BY CLAUDE l.. COGER.
Entered at the Postoflice at Evening Shade. Ark.
as sccond-cass matter.

w. F, Stewart, who has been in
the mercantile business at Center
for some time, a few days ago filed
petition in bankruptcy. 1t is said
his liabilities are something like
$4,000, with assets Of not half that
amount. Mr.. Stewart is a splendid
citizen, and many friends regret his
financial troubles. They hope, too,
that he may soon be able to re-
establish himself
The town of Evening Shade is
absolutely in the woods" so far as
telephone connection is concerned
The heavy snow Of last week filled
the streets with wires and poles,
and did considerable damage all
over the entire system. W. 0. Rog-
ers, who had the system leased
from the Sharp County Telephone
Company, declares his contract is
ended and that he will not repair the
damage, and the company is doing
nothing In that direction, The final
outcome of the matter is yet a mat.
ter Of conjecture,
AT a dance at the home of j, NJ.
Evans last Friday night j, M, Kent
and Lewis Pierce became involved
In a difficulty with the result that
Pierce received a knife wound in
the stomach, a dangerous stab, and
Kent was severely wounded about
the head and face from blows with
a fire shovel Both men have been
under the care of physicians since
the trouble, but both will be out
aeoin soon Those present seem to
agree that Kent was drinking heav.
lily and the aegressor Friends of
both parties regret the affair,

FOG AND MIST DELAY WORK OF
 CITY MILITIA
Mayor Wilson Visits Coast Ar tillery Boys at Fort
 Wright Camp.
Special to The Farmer.)


 Fort H. G.. Wright, Fishers Island, June 23.-F,or two days fog and mist have hidden this island and vicinity in a ghostly mantle of darnpness, the kind which penetrates but which lifts and, .ghostlfke, fades away wile en the sun breaks through. Yesterday the 4th and 11th companies went to sub ca1iber practice in the batteries Tn the morning the fog and mist were so chick that practice was not possible. After dinner, however. the fog ltfted and all companies had practice.
 The -4th and 11th companies on the mortar guns at Battery Clinton fired A shots, the purpose of sub calib-e practice being to famfHarize the gun crews with handling. their guns and accurately. determining the correct range.
 The mortar guns fire a projectile weighing IS pounds at sub-calibre practice. The proJecttle fired in. the other guns weighs but a pound. Ths 14th company, drilling on the 12 inch guns was able to fire put nine shots because the tug towing it's target fol1Ied the tow line.
 The big gums in other batteries con- tinued to fire at the target user for the mortar batteries when thedr target went out of comnlf sedon. On the last lap made by the tug, the combined gun crews and range details of the 4ta and 11th companies Of Bridgeport in four shots put two through the ,tar- get and one just ahead and another just behind The last two would have been hits had the target been a. vessel of any description.
 Great preparation is being made for the practice on Thursday and Friday with real projecti1es. The 14th com pany will fire with the 12 inch guns at Battery Butterfeld, four shots on Thursday. The combined gun and range sections of the 4th and 11tll companies Will fire eight shots with the mortar guns in A and pits at Battery Butterdeld.
 Mayor Clifford B. Wilson was a vis-s itor in the camp last night The mayor was the guest of Major F. J. Adams and Capt F. W. Stevens of the captain Of the 4th company and mem bers of that organization gave him a serenade last night, after which he visited the streets of the other Bridge port companies.
 iSergt Albert Hermann of the fifth company enlisted for the fourth time yesterday, his third enlistment hav- ing expired on Tuesday. Mayor Will son was a witness when Capt Hall had the sergeant renew his oath of allegiance
 The officers of the corps have been SxIenQeQ the courtesy ana use O1 EnS officers club at Fort Wright and the regular officers are now frequent vis- itors at the reserves camp. The case of sore and cold feet from which Private Goodwin of the J1th company suffered has been cured by his detail to service on the target tugs.
 Because of the extended practice at the mortar battery yesterday the 4th and 11th companies did not return to camp until after time for the evening parade and were therefore excused
 Sergt. Maj. Edward Joy is one of the oldest men in the service in point of enlistments.

More Than
 Half Our Fires
 PreventabIe By JOSEPH o. HAMMTTT, Chief New York City Fire Prevention
 Bureau

KN EXTENSIVE CAMPAIGN OF A EDUCATION THROUGH THE
 COUNTRY SHOWING THAT EACH FAMILY IS BEING TAXED ABOUT TWENTY SEVEN DOLLARS YEAR FOR SMOKE WOULD PROBABLY AWAKEN THE PUBLIC CONSCIENCE CONCERNING THE SUPREME IMPORTANCE OF FIRE PREVENTION. MORE THAN HALF OF OUR FIRES COULD POSITIVE .LY BE PREVENTED. THIS WOULD SAVE THE COUNTRY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
 There is no excuse or palliation for our enormous fire waste. We have diagnosed the disease; we have studied its causes; we have DIS- COVERED THE FIRE GERM. so to speak. ITS NAME IS CARE LESSNESS, We have also discov- cred the remedy-fre prevention.
