Farm De nOnstratiOn Agent.

Now, since Drew county is to have a Farm Demonstration A gent, and the County Is to pay portion of his salary, it is only the part of wisdom for every farmer and stock raiser, who possibly can, to avail themselves of his services and obtain from him all the information he possesses. He may not be Solo mon, but it is quite likely that he will know some things that the average Agriculturist does not know. There are very few of us, indeed, who could not learn something to our advantage, from an expert, even though we might be progressing reasonably we'll in our own way. While We have many good farmers, who
 
 know how to farm, many of these are ignorant when it comes to treatment of diseases in live stock, a proper conservation of the soil, and other things vital to the farmer. Upon these sub- iects the expert farm Demon. stration Agent is posted, and by this virtue of his employment 1t is his duty to give out information along these lines, an d assist the farmer when necessary.
 Another important matter that should, by no means, be ov- er,looked and that is in a county as large as Drew and with as many farmers as we have 1t Is possible we have a few farmers who need to learn more about farming than they actually know, and to these the experimental Agent will be of great help. The idea is to get all the good we can out of the expenditure.

THE DUTY OF THE CITIZEN.

In the coming campaign the voter is going to be met with many propositions and beguiled with all sorts of sophistry; but before he makes up his mind ], fully. to vote for any man, he should satisfy himself of the worthiness of the candidate and as to his qualifications for the place he is seeking.
 In county affairs 1t is not diff. cnlt far the voters to pick out gend men for winners. for they are acquainted with all the can didate> and know their personal history; but when 1t comes te District and State officers it is quite another thing Men an. nounre fat these places who were never heard of before, i'll man, of the counties of the District or State, or if heard of, are only known in a casual way to very few of the voters. Therefore, i the people. who are entrusted with the ballot, male good clean and decent selections of men ta fill these offices, the> mrst learn of their antecedent>
 Outward appearances will no al vaxs do to depend upon, fot 1t IS a we'll known fact that 1t often happens that the great est crook IS the smoothest artist But there is absolutely no lusti fable reason for any man O common sense to be hoodwink ed or taken in by one of this ilk If his home.lite has been ennob ling and worthy of emulation his home people will know 1t. | his career has been checkered with dubious conduct, 1t will bs safe to let him alone, no matter how glossily he may appear to the eye, nor how oily the words may flow from his lips.
 Every voter is a sovereign and his vote counts just as much as every other mans and his duty to stand by his country for his country's good is an obligation that he has no moral right to shirk. Hence, let every man be on his guard and see to it that he is not imposed upon by the unworthy and disreputable.

Now. is the Time.

Most of our farmers have all their crops gathered, sold or housed, and have little else to do, save prepare their lands for next years crop; and now is the time to begin that work. Land turned under at this season of the year will be loose and mellow in the Spring, and the weeds, grass and stalks will all be vel routed by that time and thus fill the soil with humus, which will materially assist in producing a good yield for the next crop Land that Is flat and where wa ter from the winter rains Is likely to stand, should be bedded and drained, so that it will dry out quickly and not become water-soaked. Land thoroughly broken in the Fall will be easily cultivated next year.

Christian Science Lecture.

One of the most logical and cleanest elucidation of Christian Science doctrine ever listened to in this city, was Monday even- ing's Lecture, by MT. Bliss Knapp, of Boston, Mass, at the Christian Science Church, on North Main Street.
 The Church was filled to its utmost capacity, and the au- dience came from all the nearby cities of Southeast Arkansas, as we'll as from this city and sur- rounding country.
 MT. Knapp, was introduced by Pat Henry, Esq, in few we'll timed, complimentary and pleas ing remarks. The Lecturer, without preliminaries, entered into his subject, and for one hour and twenty minutes instructed and entertained his audience with the general history of the works of the Christian Scientists and their belief and teachings
 Mr. Kapp is fluent speaker, we'll versed in Bible and con temporaneous history, and was never at a loss for quotations from Scripture as evidence to esta blish the doctrine he preach ed. While some of us, perhaps, did not agree with the Lecturer, altogether, along all the lines oi his eminent and profound dis course, nevertheless, we were compelled to give him credit for zeal and earnestness which e. licited the highest regard and deepest respect.
 Mir. Knapp is a Lecturer of the First Christian Science Church of Boston, and has not only lee tured all over the United States, but in the principal nations of the world.

Syno)si oi Game Laws.

As a matter of importance to hunters and trappers we give be- low a short synopsis of the game laws ap llicable to this country.
 Ducks may be killed from Oct. lst to January 15. Only 20 ducks may be killed by one man in a day. It is unlawful to shoot ducks or geese after sunset or before sunrise. on any of the waters of the State. No license is required to shoot ducks or geese. 1t is violation of law to sell or offer for sale these fowls or to ship them out of the State.
 Deer may be killed from Nov. 10th to Jan. 10th. Only two deer are allowed to be killed by one person, during the season, and a license of $1.00 is required to hunt deer. All licenses expire on Dec. 31st. So if you hunt deer after that date you must take out a new License This provision applies to all license, fishing, trapping and hunting birds with dogs.
 All kinds of wild turkeys may be lawfully killed from Nov. 11tE to Jan. 10th, and turkey gobblers from April 10th to May 31st Not more than five turkeys to be killed, by one person. No license is required for killing turkeys.
 Quail may be killed from Dec 1st to Feb. 1st. One person can only kill 15 quail per pay If a dog is used in hunting, a license of $1.00 must be paid or the dog. 1t is unlawful to hunt on the enclosed grounds of an other, without written permis sion, and this must be carried or the person of the hunter. It i' grand larceny to steal a dog or which license is paid
 Persons, trapping, who use more than 10 traps must pay { license of $10.00. Beavers an( otters cannot be caught or killed for a period of five years.
 No license is required for hunt ing squirrels or other game no mentioned, and there is no clos ed season for such game.
 There is no license for fishin, with hook and line, unless artifi cial bait is used, then a licens, of $1.00 must be paid.
 | These are the main provision of the game laws that are likel. to affect you, and it will be wei for you to keep this synopsis, fo future reference.

 Systems of Bookkeeping: Most schools teach theory course; the student reads about what some one else has done, and posts his work theoretically. The students of our school have to transact every item af business for which they make an entry, they learn to do by doing, they buy and sell goods, write deeds, mortgages, drafts and all kinds of commer- cial papers, ship goods just as they would in actual business life.

Often Lost Sight Of.

We call attention to few points that are often overlooked when selecting a school to attend.
 PREVENTING is one of the most important parts of a busi- ness education. We have, per haps, the only school in this part of the country that teaches each and every student to operate ac- curately, by the touch method, the different standard makes of typewriters. No difference upon what machine the student may learn, when he goes into an office he may find an entirely different make of machine therefore, it is very necessary that he learn to operate with speed and accuracy all the stand ard makes of machines.

Tha Quorum Court.

The Quorum Court, for Drew
 County, met at the Court House
 in this city, on Wednesday o1
 ast week. There were 21 Justices of the Peace, from every portion of the county.
 Besides the usual levy of all taxes, the Court made an appro- priation of 5000 as part of the salary of an experimental farm agent for Drew county. The vote on this question was 13 in favor of the proposition, and : against. One of the Justices was out of the room when the vote
 was taken, and did not vote. The Court, also, made an appropria- tion of $310 for the Boys Corn Club. $5,0O0 was appropriated for bridge purposes.
 Several speeches were made pro and con on the question of appropriation for the Farm

Not Going Back.

Many thoughtful people are a. larmed just now lest the present high price of cotton will induce Arkansas farmers to go back to exclusive cotton growing. Dean Miller of the University Exten- sion Division thinks this not yet a subject to worry about. Cot ton planting will not begin for almost six months and before that time comes nine-tenths of the cotton farmers will have gone through a winter maintaining their stock on their own feed and their families largely on stuff grown on their farms, the first such winter known to many of them. Arkansas farmers have read more this year about corn, clovers, forage crops and gardens than ever before and there will be very few farmers in
 Arkansas next Spring who will not plant more corn and forage than ever before. The Exten- sien Division of the University will conduct serious campaigns this winter in all the cotton counties urging the continuance of the safety habit & good living first, and the money croI for the bank.
