CATO CULLINGS.

The rain Sunday deprived us of having Sunday school.
 The Cato Literary Society met Friday night and reorgan- Hed and elected new officers. We will meet every Friday night. Everybody come and bring your friends. Something good always on the program.
 Miss Gertrude Office visited at the home of Mrs. Mary Price of Tip Top last Saturday and Sunday.
 A sad accident occurred last Saturday evening to MT. Will kins of Tate Mill. His team be- came manageable while con- ing down Purdom Hill and ran off bridge, turning the wagon over and killing MT. Wilkins in- stantly. The funeral was held at Bethel Monday at 10 o'clock, the services being conducted by the w. 0. w.
 Miss Oder Procter and Willis Spann of Cato were married Sunday morning. We wish them a pleasant sail on the sea of matrimony.
 The farmers around Cato have hauled out the cement and will start building their dipping vat in a few days.
 A colt belonging to MT. Thompson was killed Saturday by falling into an open well.
 Several of the Cato ladies attended the Grand Chapter at Little Rock.
 The Misses Mabel and Rober- ta Clark and Claude Clements made trip to Argenta Satur- day, returning Monday.
 The farmers around Cato are about through gathering their crops, and MT. Dubose has all his winter wood hauled.

GALLOWAY GLEANINGS.

Dear Pulaskian:
 Mark Valentine made flying trip to Memphis and Brinkley during the week, and enjoyed being with MT. Cottrell and meeting so many representative farmers, who seem to be in hearty cooperation with MT. Cottrell in his agricultural work. While away, MT. Valen- tine met pr. Beeson of Missis- sippi, who invented a process for the preservation of sweet potatoes.
 The farmers have hardly fin ished the work of the old year before they are on with the new. Progression seems to be the watchword.
 There are numerous wild ducks in the lowlands and along the small streams now, and the hunters are after them through fire and water. The ducks must find it pretty warm for them, and no doubt those that are left will soon take their flight.
 Thanksgiving is drawing near and no doubt the hearts of the nation will bow in deeper grati- tude than ever to the "Giver of all good gifts," for we have been blessed almost beyond be- lief.
 'We hallow the day as our fa-
 thers did,
 With mingling of gladness
 and praise and prayer, With a willing boon for the low
 Hest child,
 That the hungry and poor in
 our thanks may share, And the scantiest table be freely
 spread,
 And the lips of a mourner a
 blessing bear" Whittier.

HALSTEAD SCHOOL NEWS.

A short time eacn day has been given to the preparations for a flag exercise which is to be rendered soon.
 Lemuel, Preston and Ellis Harris have been absent from school a great deal lately on ac- count of illness.
 The school dismissed on last Friday to attend the funeral of Hardy Banks of Little Rock.
 The stove wasn't put up until November 15. It is notable that Halstead's climate has not re- quired fire before this time.
 The teacher and children were very glad to have as visitors MT. and Mrs. J. M. Turner, Misses Maggie Young and Ethel Crowson November 12. We wish our patrons and friends would visit us more often and see what we are doing.
 An elaborate border of the children's maps and drawings is being arranged very attractive ly on purple, just above the blackboards.
 The children will soon begin their Thanksgiving work. Sto- ries will be read or told by Miss Johnston, which will create the proper atmosphere and place the children in the spirit to eel ebrate this important holiday properly.
 We have one of the best teachers in the country. She is very much interested in the school and the children are very deeply interested in their studies.
 Miss Mabel Balou entered school last Monday.
 The attendance is almost one hundred per cent since the cot ton season is over.
 We are always glad to see notes from other schools in The Pulaskian's columns. The school ought always to be a community center.

her farm near Craig's Mill. We heard she got hurt on her way back to her home.
 Health is good here.
 Some rain last night. It will stop the blowing for while.
 Sowing oats, wheat and rye is the order of the day now.
 There were many farmers who came forth this year and said, Let's feed ourselves, and by so doing we will make two dollars where we can only make one out of cotton. We know that if we produce the food we need and small surplus to sell to our neighbor that raises all cotton we can hold our cotton until we can get a fair price for it" The time is coming when it will not be necessary for the farmer to go to the credit mer- chant for the years supplies. Then the farmers will be on a cash basis, like they should be, if they will diversity. He will give the merchant two dollars where he gives him one now, as he will have the money to give his family the better things of life to which they are entitled. The Arkansas farmers have made a living at home this year, and, besides, have paid off at least S2,000,000 of debts that accumulated last year.
 Now, with this years experi- ence, let us continue to improve our methods of farming and get on a gold basis, and we hope the merchants and bankers will do all they can to encourage the fellow that is in the cotton and mortgage ruts to diversity his crop and feed himself, as others have so easily done this year. With no debts to carry over, we should strive the harder to inn prove our methods of farming, and, with the big cribs of corn, barns full of hay, pens of fat hogs, the pantry filled with fancy canned goods from our farms and our good State clear of booze, we should make at least some improvements.
 Now that Thanksgiving Day is near, let all forget not to thank our Maker for all of these good things.

ADD TO BEAUTY OF EARTH
Writers Tribute to the Tree Is Worthy of Remembrance Throughout
 the Ages.

Oh! Don Pepino, old trees in their living state are the only things that money cannot command. Rivers leave their beds, run into cities and traverse mountains for it; obelisks and arches, palaces and temples, amphitheaters and pyramids rise up like calculations at it's bidding; even the free spirit of man, the only thing great on earth, crouches and covers in it's presence it passes away and vanishes before venerable trees. How many fond and how many lively thoughts have been nurtured under this tree! how many kind hearts have beaten here! It's branches are not so numerous as the couples they have invited to sit beside it, nor it's blossoms and leaves together as the expressions of tenderness it has witnessed. What appeals to the pure, all-seeing heavens! what simil- itudes to the everlasting mountains! what protestations of eternal truth and constancy!-from those who are now earth; they and their shrouds and their collins. The caper and fig tree have split their monuments, and boys. have broken the hazel nut with the fragments. Emblems of past lives and future hopes, severed names which holiest rites united, broken letters of brief happiness, bestrew the road and speak to the passerby in vain.-Wal- ter Savage Landor.
