direct examination the witness
said that his father was three steps
from Alternately when the latter
drew his knife; that his father was
standing still.
The next witness was the young
er son of the dead man. He made
a better witness than did his older
brother, telling about the same
story as his brother, but did not
cross himself as did the older on
cross-examination.
This closed the states evidence
and the defense introduced no
testimony at all. Deputy Sheriff
Ned Hatcher was the officer in

A doctor is a member of the greatest
and most benefcent and unselfish of
all the learned professions. We jest
at the doctors in our hours of health,
but when disease seizes upon the
strength of manhood, when even the
mighty Caesar cries like a sick child,
when the hour Of pain is upon US, then,
in the hushed chamber and by the
lonely lamp Of the watcher, we invoke
the merciful ministrations of the doc
tor, and with willing feet he comes
through the storm and darkness, and
with skill and patience and courage he
battles with disease and beats back
death from the house of life.

sa.ooo. 900 INSECT TOLL

Reliable data shows that more than s3,000,000 is the annual loss to field crops in Arkansas by insects and dis eases which can be largely controlled by crop rotation. These troubles gain a foothold very slowly. Each year the crop remnants of the year before car. ry over some of the insects and dis eases that formerly infested the grow. ing crop, and as a consequence each year sees little larger supply of dis ease on hand than was noticeabla the year before. These troubles can be avoided by planting a differen. crop on the soil for two years. Tn this way insects and diseases can be eliminated. New insects that appear can be exterminated in the same way.

4 HOME VEGETABLE GARDEN
Timely Suggestions For Planning Your Spring Vegetable Garden.

A farmer who intends to plant a vegetable garden this year should plan his garden during the idle days Of winter. ; piece of ground rectangular in shape and containing from one fourth to one-half acre is sufficient for the largest family
 Plants that are to occupy the same ground for several years should be placed to one side of the garden so that they can receive the attention necessary and not interfere with other short season crops. The grape, rasp- berry, blackberry, gooseberry, straw berry, currant, asparagus, rhubarb and horseradish are of this type, and can be planted at this time of year.
 If early crops of eggplant, pepper and tomatoes are desired they should be started in hot bed about the first of February, then by the time it would be safe to SOW the seed in the open ground we can have plants large enough to set out.
 Plants like cabbage, caulifower and Brussels sprouts also are often starter in this way. By successive plantings we can have an abundant supply Of any vegetable from early summer till frost. The farmer should remember that rotation in garden is as i'm portant as it is in the regular farming because of insects and fungous dis eases.

an optimistic report of the situation
TO George Bakhmetieff, the Russian

)The state department issued to-
night what generally was regarded as
the most hopeful summary of condi-
tions yet received from consuls and
special agents throughout Mexico. 1t
said:
''Advices dated October % from
Monterey state that through mail has
been established from Laredo to Mex
ico City for the first time in year
and a half. 1t is stated that there
is also improved train service of Tam
pico and Natamoros and that telegraph
lines are operating between most cities
and towns. A more peaceful feeling
is said to preTa all and the friendly feel
ing toward Americans is more mani
fest than for long time The consul
general at Monterey reports that he is
receiving no complaints and that both
foreigners and natives are commenting
on the improvement of the people. Pur-
chasing power Of the de facto gov
arnment is reported to be increasing.
"Conditions are reported to be
peaceful throughout the State Of
Tabasco, Los Mochie and Topolobampo
are reported quiet. and there is no
change in the situation at Guoymas.
THE department is informed that
Prefect Antonio Legaspy of the Villa
forces now is in charge Of Cananea

In loosening shale and rock to faclll-
tate hand or steam shovel work dyna
mite is also very effective, while stumps
may be blasted from the roadbed just
as though they were being removed
from field to be cleared and cultivated.
Bouders also are easily shattered by
suitable loading and when of hard rock
may be crushed into surfacing stone.
The side bitches as we'll as the long
Gutfall bitches can also be blasted in
keeping with the nature Of the ground.
In fact. there are no limits practically
to the many uses and advantages Of
dynamite for road building when care
ful and thoughtful attention is given
to the work
incidentally The planting of shade
trees for roadside improvement and at
tractiveness is greatly facilitated by
the judicious use of little dynamite
1t is a recognized fact that trees plant
ed in blasted holes grow much more
rapidly and progress more favorably
than those planted in the average spade
dug ground.

Ruth Gordon Otterson.

This biographical sketch of historic
interest was read at a recent meeting
of Fairforest (Union county, chapter,
D. A. R., by Miss Minnie Lee Walker:
Major Samuel Otterson lived near
Maybinton, between the Bnoree and
Tiger, in the upper part of NeWberry
district, and was distinguished for his
gallantry in the Revolutionary war.
The wife Of Major Otterson was Ruth
Gordon, and she partook Of her hus-
bands bravery. She heard one night
that a party Of Tories would come next
G:orning for q barrel Of gunpowder
concealed in the woods near her
dwelling. Resolved that it should no.
fall into their hands. she prepared a
train immediately and blew up the
powder. Sure enough, they came IN
the morning and On demanding it, were
told By Mrs Otterson what she had
done They refused to believe her, but
cut of her dress at the waist and drove
her before then. to snow the place Of
deposit. The evidence Of its fate was
conclusive when they reached the spot.
1t was at the OIterson house that the
Quakers and other settlers built a
stockade fort after the Cherokee In
dians had murdered several Of the in
habitants in the year 1860. Into this
fort the people would fee for refuge,
but the Qnakers would not take up
arms. 1t was to Otterson's fort the
settlers around Union church, tor
which Union county was named. would
fec wner the Cherokees would attack
them. The incursions of the savages
became Sc frequent and alarming that
the people in the fort concluded to
abandon ii and fled to other places for
shelter.
The Ottcrsons moved to Alabama
about 1875.
