Mrs. Jack Ferguson of New Hope
has been visiting the family of her
brother, S. P. Murphy, and other
relatives and friends here the past
week.
1t has been four weeks since this
section had enough rain to amount
to anything, and the ground is GET
ting very dry. Corn planted on
upland is firing very badly and
vegetables are drying up.
There are to be some changes in
our town soon. Mark Stewart will
move to his farm west of King
Mills, and Anderson Paden will
take charge of the Stewart proper
ty here. Mr.. Paden is postmaster
and is running the Stewart store.
Wheat is all threshed in this Sec
ton. The yield was rather low,
but the quality is good, The Vince
Williams steam machine threshed
all through the territory north and
west of here, and is as good an out
fit as has ever visited this part Of
the country,
Ira Edwards and Adam Hulett
had an old-fashioned fist and skull
fight last Sunday evening, and 1t Is
said both parties got "bunged up"
some. The trouble came up over
the pasturing Of some wheat stubble
land, which belonged to Edwards
and which Hulett wanted to use.

BIG BALL GAMES
At ASH FLAT SOON
Teams Representing Sharp
And lizard Counties Will
Battle Next Week.

Those who enjoy the game of
base ball will have the opportunity
of witnessing three big games at
Ash Flat on Friday and Saturday
of next week, the 18th and 14th,
These games have been arranged
by John II. Turner Of Ash Flat, and
the two teams will represent Sharp
and lizard counties. The best play
ers in each county will be chosen
and arrayed against each other in
three battles for the championship
of the two counties
One game will be played Friday
afternoon and two games will be
played Saturday. They will be
the greatest ball games played in
this section in many moons, and 1t
is a safe guess that the contests
will be witnessed by many base
ball enthusiasts from both counties,
Several years ago a single Sharp
lizard county game of ball was
played at Melbourne, the contest
being won by the players from

According to the Batesville Guard
C. G. Fletcher, who resides near
Maxville, was robbed in Batesville
one night last week Of the sum Of
SIPS. Fletcher was sleeping in his
wagon at the rear Of a store in that
city and in the small hours of the
night awakened to find pistol in
his face and a couple of negroes
ready to 60 through his pockets. He
surrendered, as most folks would
have done under the circumstances,
and { h G robbers secured $1.25.
Next morning Fletcher was unable
to give an accurate description Of
the thieves and no arrests were
made.

WHAT CATARRA IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrb
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snufs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat it,
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is
medicinal food and building tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

was on the sick list a day or two
this week, but is now able to be at
his office again.
During the month of July in the
Southern District Clerk Boyce re-
corded 16 deeds, filed 10 mortgages
and issued marriage licenses to six
couples.
The Southern District circuit
court will convene next Monday.
The criminal and civil dockets are
both very light, and prospects are
that the term will not last more
than two days.
Since our last issue Clerk Boyce
has granted marriage permits to
the following couples: Ethrige
Marlin and Miss Lou Brashears,
both of Maxville, Dolphus Morgan
of Emery and Miss Mary Evans of
Smithville, Frank Haley and Miss
Irene Medley, both of lizard county,
Ernest Carlton and Miss Maud Pat
terson, both of lizard county.
The commissioners of accounts
have not been in session during the
last few days, but will meet again
Saturday to make up their final re-
port. AT that time they will also
destroy the following amount Of
warrants, which have been redeem
ed in the past twelve months: Road
warrants, $1,599.94; school war
rants, $5,69O.17; county scrip, $1O,-

Sheriff j. ii. kirtley this week
sent a little more than $4,000 to
the state treasury in settlement of
taxes due the state Some time
ago he sent something over $4,000
to Little Rock. Sheriff Kirtley has
been very much on the puny list
during the week, which fact has
prevented him from going to the
capital city for settlement with
the state treasurer.
Arden Richie, a young man 19
years of age, was placed in Jail
here Wednesday morning. During
the progress of church services at
Blanville, in Washington township,
Tuesday night j. R. Bacon, acting
as deputy sheriff, relieved young
Richie of the possession of pistol
and then took him before W. L,
Atkinson Esq, who assessed a fine
of $50 and costs. The young man
was unable to pay the fine or make
satisfactory arrangements for its
settlement, which fact gives him
a lengthy stay in Jail.
Last Saturday Sheriff Kirtley
received the following letter from
Prosecuting Attorney Northcutt;
Please notify all the witnesses for
the state in the case of the State
vs. Melvin Jones that they need not
come to the next term Of court, as
| have settled that case by Jones
paying a fine and all the costs of
the case. The witnesses will get
pay for the last term Of court, as
that will be paid by Jones" Jones
was under indictment on the charge
of assault with intent to kill, in
connection with difficulty which
he had with Andrew Jackson at
Cave City some two years AGO. He
pays a fine of $40 and settles the
costs.

A STORY THAT VARIES
The Bride Who Got Into a Chest and
Was Found Dead There

There is story more or less diffused
of young bride on her wedding day
playing the game of hide and seek and
concealing herself in one of those an.
eient carved chests of large size. Aft.
er she had gos in the lid closed, and
she found herself unable to raise il
again, for it fastened with a spring.
and she was shut in. Search was made
tor her in every quarter but the right
one, and great perplexity and dsmay
were caused by her disappearance. 1t
was not till years after, when chance
led to the opening of the chest, that the
body of the young bride was discov-
cred and the mystery of her disappear
ance solved.
The story is found in so many places
that it may be questioned whether it is
true of any one of them Rogers tells
it of palace in Modena. The chest
in which the poor bride was found is
shown at Bramshill, in Hampshire, the
residence of Sir John Cope. Another
similar chest, with precisely the same
story attached to it, was long shown at
Maxwell Old Hall, between Winchester
and Bishops Waltham.
The folk tale of Catskin or Peau
'Ane represents the girl flying with
her bridal dresses from a marriage
that is repugnant to her, and, as this
tale is found all, over Europe, it may
have metamorphosed itself into that of
the bride who got into chest and died
there.-Cornhill Magazine.

the book appeared before the discovery
was accepted by the learned men of
the world.-New York World.
The Dumb Waiter

The value of the old fashioned labor
saving device. the dumb waiter, cannot
be exaggerated. Instead of carrying
up the many, many things that daily
have to come from the cellar they are
placed on the dumb waiter. No energy
is wasted and one trip will save three.
1t serves the place also of the more
modern linen chute. The linen chute
is not to be tabooed, for it has its uses
but it is practically wasting space to
have both it and the dumb waiter. In
many houses the dumb waiter stops
short at the second foor-the reason
why has never been discovered-or
sometimes it starts at the first floor
instead of in the cellar, another enig-
ma. This is as impractical as it would
be to have the sidewalk end before it
reaches the house. 1t simply doesen It
answer the purpose for which it was
intended.-Womsn's Home Compan
ion.

Buddha

The origin of Buddhism which ranks
in numbers among the great religions
of the world, is wrapped in much un-
certainty, and the personality of its
founder is more or less obscure. 1t is
generally believed that Buddha was a
prince of petty Indian nation and
that he was born about the beginning
of the fifth century before Christ. He
was named Siddhartha and was also
known as Sakya, his family name.
The title Buddha, which was given
him, means "the enlightened. 4" He
spent many years in study and soli-
tary meditation and finally evolved the
philosophy which he preached for over
forty years in northern India. He was
about eighty when he died.-Youth 8

HARVEY AND THE BLOOD
How His Theory of Circulation was
Born and Demonstrated

1t was while studying at Padua un-
der a professor who had discovered
the valves in the veins that Harvey
discovered the circulation of the blood.
He was curious to know what these
valves were for and finding that they
all pointed in the same direction, he
could think of no reason for their ex-
istence unless it might be to prevent
the blood from flowing backward.
Placing ligature on his arm, he
found that one set of vessels, the ar
teries, became distended with blood on
the side nearest to the heart, while
the veins became distended with blood
on the side farthest from the heart.
This to him meant only that the blood
flowed from the heart through the ar
teries and back to the heart through
the veins. 1t also explained the beat
ing of the heart and the throb5ing of
the pulses.
But the medical and surgical world
received this epoch making discovery
with scorn. Harvey published book
on his discovery and his practice fell
off considerably. Doctors seoffed, and
the public looked on him as crank.
1t was quarter of century after

Tuning Forks

The tuning fork was the invention
of John Stone, royal trumpeter, in
1911. Though the pitch of forks varies
slightly with changes of the tempera-
ture or by rust, they are the most ac-
curate means of determining pitch.
Tuing forks are capable of being made
of any pitch within certain limits, but
those commonly used are the notes A
and C, giving the sounds represented
by the second and third spaces in the
treble stave.
