NEGRO FINDS THE SNAKE;
SNAKE BITES THE NEGRO

Jim Bonner is just Sumter county
negro with no special rep as speeder,
but he made a German record for run
ming when he doomed up in Americas
yesterday with dead moccasin In
tow. Bonner lives three miles from
town, but he covered the distance in
eighteen minutes, actual runnig time.
Bonner and the moccasin had mixed it
up down on the farm" the snake hav-
ing struck the negro in the northeast
ern corner of his left foot, yard or
two from the heel. Bonner then put
the kibosh on the snake and brought
the dead reptile to town to prove that
he really needed a little "snake ami
dote," which was given him.

 County Demonstrator J. w. Earlier announced today that University of Arkansas agricultural school, which was held with such great sue cess here last year, will be repeated this year, and the week of August 3 to ', inclusive, has been tentatively selected as the time for the school. .Mr. Earlier today received a letter from D. c. Welty, commissioner of agriculture for the Missouri Pacific railway, stating that he and his as- sistant, C. o. Carpenter, will probably be in Conway next Wednesday to aid in making arrangeSents for the ex- tension school. It is probable that the railroad company will furnish transportation for the faculty who will conduct the school thus greatly reducing the expense of securing it.

An Awful Suspicion.

John Sylvester, an ardent member
of Hope Lodge, and an exceedingly
absent-minded man, purchased a new
pair of trousers and wore them to
the lodge meeting. His wife, who
was we'll aware of his absent-minded
habits knew nothing of the purchase.
An hour or so after the masters ar
rival at the lodge his wife was seen
rushing breathlessly down the street
and up into the hall with package
under her arm. Meeting one of the
members she inquired hastily and
anXiously:
"Have you seen Mr.. Sylvester"

Would Have Done the Same.

Rudyard Kipling undoubtedly got
his wit from his maternal grandfath-
err the Rev. George B. Macdonald a
Wesleyan clergyman.
It is related of this gentleman that
in the days when he was counting the
lady whom he afterwards married, the
father-in-law-to-be-arl aged Methodist
with extremely strict notions in re-
gard to the proprietors-was intudicl-
Gus enough on one occasion to enter
the parlor without giving any warning
of his approach. The consequence
was that he found the sweethearts
occupying single chair.
Deeply shocked by the spectacle,
the old man solemnly said:
"Mr. Macdonald, when I was court
ing Mrs. Brown, she sat on one side
Of the room and I on the other"
Macdonald's reply was:
That's what l should have done II
I had been counting Mrs. Brown"

SMALL DAMAGE DONE
BY fire IN FORESTS
Blazes Reported in Five Counties
But Green Timber is Safe

Seattle, WASH. July 24.-Fires are
reported today in King, Clalam,
Snohomish, Mason and Kitsap coun-
ties, Washington, but only small
damage has been done. The fires or
iginated in logged-off land, and have
not spread to green timber. The
state fire warden and the Washing
ton State Forest Fire association
have about $50 men in the field.
The national forests have not been
attacked. The most serious of the
fires is at Gown gton, - miles south
east of Seattle, where the saw mill
of the Covington Lumber company,
a rancher's house and two barns
containing live stock have been
burned.
This fire began in slashing fir
ed by loggers. The Puget Sound
navy yards magazine at Bremerton
has at no time been threatened, but
yesterday 100 sailors from the yard
were sent to quench fire near the
town of Manette. This led to the re-
port that the yards magazine was
in danger.

believed he had heard the last of puns
on his name and gibes which had

was based on the fact that Judge
Frost, at Lemons request, had just
changed his name to Lemont.
