A STRIKING ILLUSTRATION

Doctor Abernethy once visited a
crusty old laird who was laid up with
govt. He wanted to get out with his
gun, and was in a temper, and, while
the doctor was looking at his foot,
asked complainingly, why don't you
strike at the root and get me better?"
Solemnly the doctor got up, took his
walking stick, and smashed to pieces
a ,decanter of wine which was stand
ing on the table. The astonished laird
sprang up and demanded an expla-
nation. "Oh," said the doctor, 81 am
only striking at the root"

DAILY COMMENT ON
Art Brisbane wrote an editorial
asking if you laugh with your eyes
shut or open.
That reminds us-does Brisbane
write editorials while his ears are
WEIGHING or with one hand behind his
back?
Can Brisbane scratch his left hind
ear with his right hand big toe?
What are his feet doing when he
is throwing the bull with both hands?
Or, to deIVe a little deeper into
psychology, when you meet cross
eyed man do you turn around and
spit?
Speaking of that Glen View man
who got hit by an auto while rubber
necking the tall buildings
All the newspapers told about
where he was hit was that it was at
the corner of Adams and Clark.
Possibly that is just as safe place
to get hit as any.
But really the safest place to stand
on a Chicago street is inside build
ing.
Let's all go on a vacation! That
garbage mess is bobbing up again.
And with the stockyards still doing
a STRONG business, too.
The Federal League is knocking
the. 'l' cut of the National, and lead
ing a good many players to put the
"can" in the American League.
First, the dime show kicked the
Stats out of the high-priced theaters;
then the five-cent movie put crimp
in the ten-center, and now the big
Brothers organization is going to
build penny show in the loop. What |
next? ---s---- =-zs-.--..--.------

J. w. FERGUS.

Dr. J. w. Fergus, died Tuesday of last week at his home in Elm Springs death being due to stroke of par alysis received last winter, and from which he had never recovered. Flu neral services were held at the fam fly home at Elm Springs Wednesday of last week.
 There was no better citizen ever lived in Washington County than Dr. Fergus. Held in the highest respect by all with whom he came in contact, and loved by those to whom he came in time of sickness. As a praeticing physician, his friends covered large amount of territory, and his many good deeds in his professional capacity will finger long in the hearts of his many friends.
 Truly, he was good man, con- scientioas citizen, and his home life characterized him as man among men. His last days were doubtless made bright by the realization that he had lived useful and moral life, and that his sons, who were his pride and cherish, were men of char acter. standing, and ability, all able to well take care of themselves, and their interests in life's battles
 The News extends to the bereav- ed family all sympathy. and say to them in their present hour of grief. that while their loss may seem ir- reparable, they should be comforted with the pleasant thoughts of the many noble deeds, and good work ac- complished by their father and hus- band

DYES BUYS AN INTEREST
 IN CASH DRY GOODS co.

A deal was closed fore part Of this week, by which Arthur Dyes, who has been connected with the First Ma tional Bank, became the owner of stock in the Springdale Cash Dry Goods Company. MT. Dyes will be actively engaged in the work at the dry goods and furnishing store, re- signing his position at the bank Mon- day The deal does not in anyway change the management of the Cash Dry Goods Company, j. H. Myers still being the manager, but it gives Mr. Myers an opportunity for much needed rest from some of the heavier work. For the past two years 1t has been evident that the health of Mr Myers would not stand he strain Of many more seasons, and for this reason Mir. Dyes becomes actively engaged in the management of the well known store. No an nouneement has been made of the eX-
 
 stood that Mr Dyes will look after the books and financial end of the institution, while Mr Myers will give his whole attention to the buying and selling of the different lines carried.
 The arrangement will give MT Myers a much needed vacation, and will give him more time to look after the interests of the business from an out side viewpoint, than formerly, as he was almost continuously engaged at the building The rise of the Cash Dry Goods Company in the business field of Springdale has been almost phenomenal Starting d few years ago with a very small stock, under the direction and management of MT. Myers it has grown to be among the
 biggest of it's kind in north Ark ansas. No firm enjoys better rep utation among the buying public Of l Springdale and yicinity. than the Springdale Cash Dry Goods Company,
 and the addition of Mir. Dyes to the
 managing end will doubtless prove Of
 great benefit, No other change has
 been announced in the force at the
 store; it is merely the lifting of
 part of the burden of this big estab-
 lishment from the shoulders of MT
 Myers to the shoulders of Mr Dyes John l.. (Fay) Stafford. who was en-
 gagged at the postoffice as assistant
 postmaster, has accepted the posi-
 ton in the First National Bank, made

APPLES ARE
 MOVING FAST

Up to and including Wednesday night total of s4 cars of apples had been shipped from Springdale, the ears going to different sections of the north, south, east and west. The greater portion of these apples are being "peddled" from car doors, and by other means by the buyers and growers. The market Is steady, ra- ther low, the price ranging from 65 to so cents per hundred for Ben Da- wis, to 75 cents to S1.00 for the fam cier varieties Dried fruit is selling slow, and the evaporators are forced to sell at a very low margin 10 in- sure d market Quite little dried fruit is moving now, but nothing like the amount that would, if the demand could be created A number of the smaller evaporators and dryers throughout the rural sections have closed, but Kimmons, Walker & Co, of this place, are holding the mar ket for eyaporating and vinegar stock to a high market, with a con- sideration for the price of the finish ed product.
 It is expected that by Saturday night shipments from Springdale will exceed 150 cars as the growers are getting out between fifteen and twen- ty cars daily. For the past week the market has remained about the same The market is considered good. In 1906 growers here realized only 65 to 75 cents per barrel, while to- day they are getting about. $1.20, but most all fruit is bought by weight The buyers and shippers are keeping secret as to the destin- ation of their cars, feeling that such is to their interests. But all report that the market is dull in most every section. Fruit is holding up well, the colder weather which started fore part of the week is tending to bring the fruit up to much better condi- ton for shipping.

THE STYLE SHOP.

In mentioning the opening of The Style Shop last week, The News fail ed to mention the boys behind the guns," in other words, the men and firms who erected the building.
 In the first place, the big man in the deal was W. B. Brogdon, who contracted for the building, who owns the building and who owns the lots. The contract for the foundation and brick work was let to J. w. Carter, of this pace, as well as the tearing down of the old building that form erly occupied the lots. The contract called for sixty days finish. and the work was done in approximately that lime, though several delays were caused by rain, and Mr. Carter was hindered by workmen removing the dirt. The floor, front, and wood work on the roof and ceiling was done by C. A. Jones, of Springdale, and though hindered by several accl- dents, such as breaking glass, and WEOl2 IltdS tIlItlltS Oil tlC llChSt the wood work contract was finish ed almost on time. The roof, which is of tin, and the handsome metal ceil- ing was done by Sturdiyant X Firman timers of this place, and is the best metal ceiling in the city. The cleo trical work, fixtures and other par phenilia was done by Food Bros, who moved to Springdale recently and have entered the electrical field. The electrical fixtures are the best ever seen here, and are the first of their kind. The main lights are the well known Braseolite, the light being thrown toward the ceiling, and being so arranged that a shadow can not be thrown throughout the room.
 The cabinet work on the west side of the building was put in by J. $. Ewalt, Jr., also of Springdale, anr is an exact counterpart of one used by large retail house in St. Louis. The shelving on the east side is the work of Chas Sprinkles, and the in terior and painting contract was done by Willis Smith, of this place.
 It will be seen that every bit of work done on the new building was done by Springdale people, it is finished in complete city style, and tn entire building speaks well for the various contractors of Springdale, who made the building such a suc- cess. The News congratulates the entire bunch, not even leaving out the boys who pushed the wheel bar rows that carried the brick, mortar and plaster
