Fanny Crosby, Aged
 Hymn Writer, Dies.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Feb. 12. - Fanny Crosby, the blind hymn writer, died today at her home in her 95th year.
 Eight thousand hyms of Christian worship sung in Pro- testant churches throughout the world are the works of Fanny Crosby.
 Fanny Crosby's name was signed so regularly as author of one hymn after another that the hymn book makers of a quarter of a century ago were forced to give her some 200 different pen names to make it appear that someone besides the famous writer had contributed.
 Saved by Grace" Blessed Assurance e,' Rescue the Per- ishing," and Safe in the Arms of Jesus are typical of Fanny Crosby's most popular religious verses.
 Fannie Crosby did not begin hymn writing until she was over 40 years of age. Fifty years ago she was best known for her popular melodies which were whistled all over the country, such as Proud World, Good Bye, Pm Going Home. '' Hazel Dell, " The Honeysuckle Glen" and Never Forget the Dear Ones. -
 Born in Putnam county. New York state, March "A, 1920, christened Frances Jane Crosby, and married to Alexander Van Alstyne. a blind music teacher. who died many years ago. the blind writer lived to be % years old. She lost her eyesight dur ing a fever in infancy when a hot poultice was applied to her eyes. destroying the optic nerve.
 For l2 years she studied at the New York Institution for the Blind. She never learned to read by the raised letters. Play ing the guitar while a child she so calloused her fingers that they were not sensitive enough to read the raised characters. All she learned she memorized from hearing. During her connection with the institution. which in cluded an additional 12 years as a teacher, she travelled all over the country declaiming her own verses.

Conatser-H Hill Sold Out.

The old and well-known firm of .Conatser-Hill Co. has sold their business in Ozark to Boozman & Sons, who took charge Monday. The main con- sideration was a farm of six hundred acres on Poteau river near the town of Poteau, Okla.
 The Elder MT. Boozman has been in the general merantile business for the past nineteen years, and one of his sons for somesyears past has been with the Foster Grocery Co.,, of Ft. Smith.
 Mir. Conatser has been in busi- ness in Ozark for thirty-two years and has built up a very large business. Several years ago Mr. Hill entered the firm since which 1t has continued to prosper.
 Mir. Conatser will remain in Ozark and devote his time to his large real estate interests. Mir. Hill intends to rest up awhile and recuperate his health, which has been very bad lately.
 We wish the new firm as great prosperity as the old firm enjoy ed.

Circuit Court Opens.

Circuit Court opened this morning with our new judge, James Cochran. on the bench. The room was crowded, many no doubt drawn there to see how a new judge would look in the place they had seen the familiar face of Judge Evans.
 If they came to criticize, they were disappointed, for Judge Cochran fills the place with dig nity and his charge was forceful and learned. One principle he laid down should be impressed on all our juries and officers = that regardless of what their opinion of the justness or benefit of a law they should enforce it. He made strong charge on the liquor law. the anti cigarette law and. Sabbath laws. Every one seemed well pleased with his charge and his general conduct of the court.
 The following are the juries:

Constable in Hard Luck.

The special constable was chanee by his friends for appearing on parade without his badge. You see, ex- plained the special. 'l was in rather . tough crowd getting on the car the other night, and when l got in l found that someone had pinched my badge. They really ought to have detectives to watch the busy spots on tram routes. s."-Manchesier Guardian.

Ruh With pansr

By rubbing the bathtub with crum- pied newspaper as soon as it Is thor oughly dry, every bit of grease, soap, lint and the marks from the water will be easily and quickly removed. It Is not necessary to do any securing if the tub is smooth, but it Is quite nec- essary that 1t be dry.

Tuft huntere.

Said a society woman at mu- sicale at her Fifth avenue house:
 New York society is less given to lion hunting than London society. There is countess in London who is such lion hunter that a man once said of her: Why. she always has the most fashionable surgeon of the hour to carve her Christmas turkey"

The World In Rhyme.

Truth
 At Philadelphia's smart set; Sir Woodrow praised the Ship ping Bill,
 On which he has his heart set. My Lord of Guggenheim sug- gests
 The State maintain the idle We'd loaf in lace
 Were such the case. And Daniels needs a bridle. 'Tis said that angleworms have brains,
 For willing and for wishing, But we prefer the stupid kind When we are going fishing A worm with logic in his head Might argue with the quarry; The Gink hotel
 Is doing well, And Bryan isn't sorry. The Hurdy-gurdies must be tuned
 Or silenced altogether They keep so many worthy folk Out in the open weather. A Major in Sir Joffre's ranks Has punctures ninety-seven;
 We know we'll meet
 The price of wheat Upon peak in heaven. A herd of forty thousand Fords Was shipped across the ocean, Had we the jokes that follow them
 We'd cease this rimed commo- tion. The Sing Sing convicts will be taught
 Some useful trade, like knit ting;
 The well-knoWn war
 Now chimes with bore. And that concludes the sitting. Our new-thought Educators say The movies are treasure Twas just our luck to go to school
 Before it was a pleasure. The District of Columbia Still keeps its damp demeanor; Fair Springfield wins
 With twenty twins, And Taft is somewhat leaner. It seems dumb animals enjoy A secret sort of lingo; A few Deserving Democrats Were found in San Domingo. Rud. kipling said that English men
 Were seriously funny: The hats of Spring
 Are on the wing And Austria needs money. An egg of three and twenty years
 Was captured in cold storage; A flock of British aeroplanes Returned the German forage. A wit suggests that Congress men
 Be numbered when in action Thirteen would be
 The c. o. F., And beans fell off a fraction.
 Puck.

UT time is too valuable to waste in travelling over bad roads. ,,nti we have good roads we will V not have better markets,
 he cost of good roads is less than the tax of bad ones.
 ut of the mud hole and on to pike should be your slogan. Fortune lives on an improved highway; misfortune on poor one. he growth of any community is dependent upon good roads. Happiness. contentment and pros- perity don't go with bad roads. Even heather countries realize the value of good highways.
 ud holes are civilizations great parasites. Abolish them.
 nto another generation the bene- fits of good roads will extend. b deeds that will live after you. Boost and build roads.

:, NORWICH. CONN.

tween Johnny KiI7oane, boss Of the featherw eights, and Kid Williams, the bantam king. but whether this contest will be arranged is uncertain. Will Hams wants Kilbane to make i22 pounds ringSfde, while the Cleveland man is ayerse to reducing so low.
 Outside of these three prospective contests, there are two fixtures on the pugilistic calendar for March. The most important one is the heavyweight championship contest between Jack Johnson and Jess Willard at JUareZ Mexico, on March Is, and a 10-round set-to between Welsh and Willie Ritchie at New York city on March F.
 Young Shugrue, who held Welsh to even terms at New York city last Tuesday night is slated to take on Johnny Gr1hLhS in q 12-round bout at Akron. O., Feb. 32. Shugrue has twice given Welsh d hard battle, while Grif- fiths is credited with having outpointed the tltleholder in F rounds a few nights ago, hence the coming meeting between Griftths and Shugrue gives promise of 8 splendid scrap
 Speaking Of Freddie Welsh, recalls to mind the fact that the titleholder is beginning 10 feel the sting of hostile 2 criticism and he is out now with a. statement that he is willing to defend his title in a 20-round decision contest at New Orleans against any opponent,
  Welsh freque ently has been whipped in 10 round, no decision contests, but be- cause Freddie has been on his feet at the finish he has not suffered the loss Of his cham pionstip, even though his prestige has been tarnished. In the no decision contests the only way Welsh can lose the title is through being knocked out. This will prove a mighty hard task for any contender to accom- plish because of the wonderful clever ness of the foreigner, but there are half a dozen boys capable of accom- plshing this if they ever succeed in cornering him. Willie RitcIlie, Charley White, Johnny Dundee and Jimmy Duffy are among the lightweight head liners who carry the punch sporifc and any one of this quaFtette may some day succeed in slipping the big wallop over on the champion. Until that time comes Welsh may succeed in keeping his title if he persists in accepting onfs- the no decision matches.
 John the Barb Of New Haven has brought suit against the Garden 4. (. because Matchmaker Jimmie Johnston refused to let John see the ShUgrue- Welsh fight the other night.

Fine Race In InterooIliqate Basketball

The race this year ia the intercolle- gldte basketball league Is proving one of the best ever recorded by the league Wi.h ar unusually good col lection Ct teams and rare is the game that is 4Ot bitterly fought to the very end and doubtful until the whistle blows. The highest number of points scored in a single game is 37. which were rolled up by Yale in her opening game against Pennsylvania.
